New Photos, New Costume!

I've posted new photos of several costumes! One of them is not really a "new" costume - but it's one I never wore and never had photos of until now! And as a bonus, here's a behind-the-scenes video of how we do a white backdrop photoshoot!

I've finished my Shi'ar Rogue costume and have added it to my portfolio!

Dragoncon 2011 Costume Recap

First up, Supergirl. My plan was to wear Supergirl all Thursday night; I ended up wearing it for about 20 minutes because I wanted to put on Donna. So now that Supergirl was out of the way (LOL) I wore Donna the rest of the night - there were so many Doctor Who people around and with K9 out, it was really fun. Friday morning I got to wear Marie Antoinette, ...

Valkyrie and Rogue updates

So here's "Pink Barf".... aka this Shi'ar Rogue costume> from around Uncanny X-Men 342 (specifically the alternate cover which I've always loved.) It's not terribly flattering LOL But I love the pieces Chase made for me, especially the shoulder pieces, so I'm excited to get some shots of it. I added a belt for two reasons - one to throw my X-Men buckle on, since I'm not sure how recognizable ...

Pink Rogue Suit UPdate

Hey! I found a progress pic of Pink Barf I never uploaded. Here's the suit cut out with the yellow pieces put together and pinned on. I think this was before I had to go back and remake the front piece though...

Lots of Updates, Still no Pics

Rogue Pink Suit & Emma Frost Updates

I started on "Pink Barf" about two weeks ago and initially made great progress. I didn't care for the shade of pink of my fabric though, even though it's what i picked out from my swatches I got. But once I saw it on with ...

huzzah! Rogue Shoes

So didn't work on anything last night. went on a really lame quest to 3 different fabric stores in search of silver fabric that didn't look cheap, so I wouldn't have to order it online, and didn't find a thing. Then cleaned the house. So for the next costume I'm about to start on, I needed some shoes to mod, similar to what I used for starfire and rogue back in 2005 ...
