A friend on instagram asked how I did my Padme lake dress hair, and I thought it would be way easier to answer over here where I could type everything out and post pictures easier than trying to type on my phone on instagram. I've never done a full tutorial on how I did this hair, BUT I have drawn a little diagram about it that I've sent to people ...

(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.)

Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I've been out of town almost every weekend since March, and add to that trying to finish various costumes ...
I've finished my Padme Lake dress (2nd version!) and have added it to my portfolio!
Here's our MidSouthCon pics! We went up for a bit to say hi to people friday night, and I wore my new 70s Leia poncho: On to Saturday! We stayed in the hotel this year, first time ever.

Got the underdress put together! Here it is from the back...
What have I done lately? Not much. I dyed some stuff black last night. That was fun. I made two pairs of pajama pants for birthday presents.
