Last night was fun! Cold Stone Creamery's Ice Cream Social for Make a Wish. It was a little cold though - I'm going to have to start digging out stuff I can wear under Leia for the Christmas parades. At least I can layer underneath that dress! LOL One lady there with her kids told me they had just bought the Leia costume for her daughter - and that I ...
I've done jack in the way of costumes lately - but my grandmother gave me a hancocks gift card for my birthday, and it's burning a hole in my pocket, so tomorrow morning I'm going to go see if I can't make use of it. What I'll get, I have no idea. I forgot to mention in my Dragoncon wrap up, but when I pulled out my Leia belt at ...
All the non-new costumes, and how the held up. I wore classic Leia friday morning at the RL table. That was fun! I had planned on doing that last year, but ended up wearing the metal bikini instead. Got pics with PsychoShinji... yay! I missed her when she was in Robin and I was in Starfire last year. I also got pics with WF&DT! He makes such a ...
And as for my costumes that weren't new... here's how they did! Animated Leia: I know you all know I was squeeing like mad when I saw Gentle Giant had a huge version of the animated Leia at their booth! So first thing thursday morning was to hop over and get pics with it! I was stuck there for some time with folks taking pictures. I really enjoyed wearing it ...
I've finished my new version of my Princess Leia costume and have added it to my porfolio!
Since I did the Wonderfest post over at my other journal, I'll do the COSI one here! A strange crew on the falcon... Friday! Ash and I left Chase's apt and took a cab to the airport. The cab showed up 20 minutes earlier than it was supposed to, so we got to the airport waaaaaaay early. Flight was uneventful, and short. Columbus weather? Not so great. It was pouring and ...
Well, I'm back from Wonderfest. Unfortunately I didn't get to go to the Ren Faire as I woke up sick on Monday :( But we decided to definitely go next year, and to go earlier in May when it's cooler. Anyway here's pics and new costume stuff: Chase and I drove up Friday night - it was an easy drive, only about 2 hours through the countryside. We got there around 9:30. The ...
Progress report: "Different" Leia: (the other "silly" one for wonderfest, i'm excited about it, LOL) It's almost done. I still need to cut the slits up the sides and hem it, and put the sleeves in and hem those, and add the hood. That's it! I have a little weird place on the neck i want to fix, and a place where the seam got a little poochy to go ...
(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 March, and add to that trying to finish various costumes ...
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 night this year, for the first time ever! Friday - Mara ...
