Lulu
Lately I have been playing around with the idea of remaking my Lulu costume next year. Not because I hate my original version from 2002 or anything; but more just as a fun thing to do. It would for the most part, be fairly easy, with some interesting parts, and I think some of my original pieces could be re-used.…

when i found more pics!
More Animazement pictures … there’s me and Ash on the first page of pics as Xiaoyu (tho we’re listed as “more card captor sakuras”!) And then later on there’s two of me as Lulu. You know, I realise I didn’t wear my wig correctly, now. The part of hair on the right side of my head should have been over…

when i had thoughts on lulu
I like my lulu costume. but I’m not satisfied with it. I wish I could find some lovely grey leather like material and redo the sleeves and skirt. Make the skirt longer in the back. Wider on the sides. But the thing that really bugs me is the trimming. Yeah, we bought it and sewed it on. It wasn’t that…

Upcoming schedules…
Things to do: *Hotel reservations for Dragon Con *Airplace tickets for Dragon Con *Hotel reservations for MTAC I’ve decided we’re going to go to MTAC for at least Saturday. Drive up early Saturday morning, spend the night there and leave Sunday morning. One night at the hotel will be cheap. And since it’s pretty much just that one day, I’m…

Leaving for Animazement 2002
Yep, tomorrow at this time I’ll be at Animazement 😀 I know this should go in my cosplay journal, but OH WELL! Xiaoyu… I’m pretty satisfied with Xiaoyu. I’ll probably wear it most of the day friday, with Ash in her 1P Xiaoyu costume. Speaking of which, I painted the design on the back of Ash’s Xiaoyu costume, and I’m…

Lulu and other updates
Ok, so nothing much got worked on yesterday. I’m trying to decide what I want to make my Lulu hairpieces out of. At first I was going to do sculpey… and I made one… and it looks horrible. So now I’m thinking some light foamboard type stuff. Easier to cut, that’s for sure. Ash says she got ALL the fabric…

Xiaoyu shoes & Lulu makeup
Just about finished my Xiaoyu shoes last night. Also made my purple lulu necklace. I went to Mr Lincoln’s day before yesterday and got some face makeup type stuff for Lulu. That lady asked what I was doing and I told her, and she actually knew who I was talking about it! (her son has been playing that game, she…

Lulu and Xiaoyu updates
Well, today was pretty good! Cut out the front of my Lulu skirt… we’ve got to go get some boning tomorrow to start on the skeleton for underneath it. And we got a lot done on Xiaoyu today!! We got all the blue done, and most of the yellow at the top is done. Parts of that still have to…

Lulu wig
My friend Kristie took my black Lulu wig to her hairdresser today to see what he could do about it. He said that it would take most of the hair to just do the bangs, and that the back was too thin. I already knew that… I mean, I knew the back was too thin. He suggested using my own…

Lulu & Xiaoyu fabric
Got some black velvet for Lulu’a top, but it’s not like, really velvet. Closer to suede. Looks nice with the grey I’ve got. Which reminds me, found huge bolt of the suede I got for the Lulu skirt and sleeves on the remnant table for 50% off. GAAAHH. Oh well, I didn’t spend that much on it in the first…

Lulu Belt hunting
Went to the salvation army yesterday in search of belts. Dad and I ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. They had all these bins of old record albums for $2 each. They weren’t in any kind of order so we just sat around going through them looking for interesting things. Dad ended up buying a Three Dog Night album.…

Dragoncon!!
Sorry for the lack of postings lately. Nothing much has been going on. I’m going to go belt hunting this weekend for Lulu. Wish me luck. OH! Oh! There’s an excellent chance I’m going to Dragoncon now, with Cath. Yay 🙂 I’m trying to think of a costume to do for it (only one, I’ll rewear other stuff. I’m doing…

Dragoncon suggestions
There’s a good chance I’m going to DragonCon this year. It was sort of a sudden decision between Cath and I… she can’t go with us to either Animazement or Otakon, so I brought up dragoncon… it looks *really* cool, with a lot of really neat guests and events. I was thinking of costumes… right now I’m working on Xiaoyu…

Lulu, Misato, Rally and She-Ra updates
We cut the pattern for Lulu’s skirt today. As soon as my credit card payment clears, I’m going to buy the red material for Misato. Once that happens, I’ll be on the way with everything for Animazement except Xiaoyu. How about an update? Lulu – have grey fabric, have fur, various bits of jewelry, and a wig. Patterns for everything.…

Misato, Lulu updates
I said it on my livejournal the other day, but I got the faux fur coat to use for the top of Lulu. Along with fabric samples for Misato. I think I’ll use the fabric, but I’m going to look around and see if I can find something like it around here that’s a little cheaper first. Animazement hotel booked…

If you’re happy and you know it, do all three
So, happy year of the Horse, happy Mardi Gras, happy Lincoln’s birthday, and happy birthday to Catherine tomorrow, before I forget. She’s gonna be twenty, haha, she’s old now. I got my fabric samples for Misato (we’re gonna use it, it’s gonna be expensive tho… I may go look around this weekend and see if I can find something like…

Lulu progress & etc
I said it @ my cosplay journal yesterday, but I got my Lulu fabric. It’s not exactly what I wanted, but I think it will work all right. It’s a sort of suede material… it’s heavy enough that it won’t wrinkle around and stuff, but light enough that I won’t suffocate. I think I’ve figured out how to do the…

Lulu patterns
Got my pattern for Lulu skirt today (along with a bunch of other patterns!! It was a lot I bought on ebay, I bought it just for the one pattern for the lulu skirt… so now I have lots of other patterns. One I can use for my Ocha underdress). Now I have everything I need but the fabric. I’m…
