Padme’s Lake Dress Hair – a Sort-of Tutorial

We’ll have time to maybe take a quick swim and then head over to COSI for opening night! I’m Amidala from 5-11. Chase will be flying out after work, I think, so he won’t get there until…

a long overdue update
(EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.) As I said in the last quick post, sorry for disappearing the past couple of months! Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I’ve been out of town almost every weekend since…

2006 schedule
Atlanta St. Pat’s Parade I’ve never done this event before, and it’s still not 100% that I’m going to go, but if I can hitch a ride… Wearing regular Princess Leia, most likely, if not, battle Padme with new shinguards. MidSouthCon Friday I’ll just be there for a couple of hours most likely. I’ll be staying at the hotel sat…

Vader and Padme Lake Dress Updates
Next week I’m ordering the fabric for my new Padme Lake dress. This next weekend is dedicated to Vader. Still working on that other project.
