This weekend was MidSouthCon of course! (Warning: there is puke in the upcoming story.) It ended up being kind of a strange weekend. Our plans were to take Kevin and let him enjoy the convention while I was doing my panels and whatnot. We picked him up Thursday and he spent the night, then Friday I ran home at lunch to bring him back up to work with me (had ...
I've actually already got these uploaded on their individual portfolio pages, but I was waiting til I had the Anne pics uploaded for making a blog post... but I want to post them now and it's my blog so I do what I want. Megara: It's not like I didn't already have nice pics of this costume (I love the ones Chase took of me at Momocon last year), but ...
It's that time of year!! Time to look back at what I accomplished and what I... didn't accomplish. So last year, I said I was going to make... 1. Willow – Buffy the Vampire Slayer Nope. Even though this would have been easy I just never got to it. 2. Johanna’s Interview Dress – Catching Fire I DID THIS ONE! OMG. 3. She-Ra No :( 4. Donna Noble – Partners in Crime Well, I kinda did this. ...
Here's everything so far. I'm only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I'm bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...
I wore Megara for a couple of hours Saturday afternoon. Nothing major. It was more comfortable than half of my other costumes and I almost put it back on Sunday, but decided I didn't feel like messing with the sandals. I wish I'd had time to fix the pleats on the dress before Dragoncon but alas - I'll have to aim for fixing them for a photoshoot.
I've finished my Meg costume and have added it to my portfolio!
Here's a few more pictures that I didn't have uploaded yet when I posted last. Kevin's absolutely epic take on the classic "help I'm falling down the Marriott" photo: I loooooooooove these photos of my Belldandy Chase took. I TRIED to be good and wear sandals with Belldandy (I've gotten in trouble with hotels for not wearing shoes with it). But as you can see in this photo, they didn't ...
or, How to make your Uncomfortable Costume Comfortable in Two Easy Steps I was pretty well pleased with Meg, at the end of the weekend. But, the first time I wore it on Saturday, I made a huge, rookie mistake. I should have known better. I put my Meg wig on and everything felt fine. The problem with the wig cap being WAY too big was still there, so I ...
Here's the pics from my camera and my phone, and a handful from Chase - haven't gotten all of his uploaded yet. We had a fantastic time! It was definitely a different crowd than we're used to at a convention, but Kevin was in Kevin Heaven. We were up before the sun on Friday and the trip in went really fast. We made a pitstop at the Engineer Guy for ...
Last night I finally got to try everything on. Of course, I'm STILL tacking pleats.... but other than that the dress is done in that pic. I was testing out shoes so I was actually standing in one heeled shoe and one flat shoe LOL I was hoping the flat shoes looked best, but unfortunately, the more uncomfortable heeled sandals (from Hippolyta) looked better, so that's what I'm going with. ...
