I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done? I said I'd do: -Padme ep 1 Parade gown Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I'm still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It wasn't perfect, far from it, but everyone recognized him as Qui-Gon. I ...
Jupiter isn't going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it's about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven't bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn't be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there's no time to worry with Jupiter. :( Oh well - I'll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking of Yuuko - I finally got the extensions so I started ...
I'm trying to figure out what else to take to A-Kon. Jupiter is NOT going to happen...if I rushed I could get it done... but I'm not all that excited to do it at the moment, I'd rather focus on the next Arwen, so I pushed Jupiter back to MTAC next year. Anyway - For A-Kon, I'm definitely taking regular Belldandy, and most likely Mara Jade (if I can ...
C3, costume wise... I wore my Imperial Officer on Thursday morning - not much to say there, except I still want new pants and a new rank insignia thingie. I wore Padme lake dress for a while after that - and the necklace completely fell apart. LOL. That's what I get for wearing a 3 year old costume and not checking it before packing it! I'll have to fix the necklace ...
I've actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals... and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I'm in love, haha. I painted my shoes for Padme - I wasn't going to, they were ok looking, ...
tentative schedule for next year: Shadowcon (jan 7-8, Memphis) nothing new - only going on saturday, will probably just wear Ozma. MidSouthCon (April 1-3, Memphis) Padme Parade gown (which is what I'm working on now - I have 3 months to finish it, so it *should* be done... if not, it'll be at CIII) Celebration III (April 21-24, Indianapolis) Qui-Gon Jinn (for my dad) Mara Jade (MAYBE... it all depends on ...
SIGH. Still trying to figure out my costume schedule for this year!! I just got a major inspiration to do a new costume for Akon. I totally want to do it, but now it's going to screw up my schedule again. gah. So right now, it's... A-kon: Ozma of Oz Secret!! Comic Con: Imperial Officer AoA Shadowcat Phoenix Dragoncon: Lessa Secret!! Random (when I get a chance): Arwen Hope Dress ...
Is it wrong, oh so wrong, that I want to go as Marty McFly from Back to the Future? There are a couple of anime based costumes I want to do sometime next year. Belldandy's battle outfit - possibly an alternate colour Princess Jupiter Paine (don't know which Paine yet) Mikako (Paradise Kiss, Miwako's older sister) I think there was one more but I can't remember it. Maybe another Urd ...
