No it's not con crud. I've never really gotten con crud except that one time I came back from WSMI in Columbus sick in 2006. But the weather is changing and I'm still worn out from dragoncon so I feel like death warmed over. I slept a lot this weekend. Vague aches and pains in the back of my head/neck. I had wanted to swim after work today but storms ...
Happy Dragoncon Eve! It's happy because I FINISHED EVERYTHING LAST NIGHT. Well like 99.9% but still, everything major is DONE and if the stuff I plan on doing tonight doesn't get done, it's not a big deal. So my to-do list is: Run one errand after work Do laundry Trim that lacefront wig that's arriving today (the base for the Amidala wig I'm going to use as my hairline) Try darkening ...
Final round-up post! You can find me at: The Vintage Vogue Fashion Show - Friday @ 1pm (Hyatt) The Post-Parade Doctor Who Photoshoot - Saturday @ 10:30am (Hilton Steps) Marvel Superhero Photoshoot - Sunday @ 3pm (Hilton Steps) The last two are dependent on the weather -- if it's raining it's no go for me. I still don't know when I'm wearing what, but I will posting regularly on my instagram (and sharing ...
I have been struggling for two months to come up with 12 costumes I want to take to Dragoncon. I've been having a hard time whittling down the list to make it be 12. Today I decide to f--- it. I'm taking all of them. With this possibly being our last Dragoncon, why should I limit myself? I may not wear all of them, but they'll all come with me and have ...
It's that time of the year, the time of the year when I can't make up my mind about what costumes I want to take to Dragoncon with me. Currently... 1. Captain Marvel - For sure! I have all my fabric, just need to find a base pair of boots, buy a zipper and some buttons and I have everything I need. 2. Donna Unicorn & Wasp - obvious if you've been ...
It's been too long, I'm ready to go to a con!!!! I'll be at MidSouthCon March 20-22! Here's my panel schedule: Friday 9pm: Wigs & Make-up Saturday 9am: Costuming Showcase and Q&A Saturday 1pm: Competition Costuming I'm sooo pleased with this schedule. Friday late night panel gives me plenty of time to leave work, eat, get in costume and get there without feeling rushed. The break in between ...
I'm really itching to get started working on stuff. Here's some thoughts on things. 1. Donna Noble - Unicorn & the Wasp I was supposed to pick this up again after Dragoncon and of course I have not. I do still plan on finishing it, it's all sitting in a box waiting on me to come back to it. 2. Georgian dress I want to do another one of these, in pink, ...
All kinds of fun stuff in my inbox today. 1. I got my MidSouthCon schedule! You can see me at 3 panels over the weekend. I'll post it up here closer to then. 2. Signed & sent back the release to Marvel for their call for Agent Carter cosplayers. Yay! 3. Disney Movie Club finally got me. After years of free stickers I finally gave in when they also offered a free Olaf blanket ...
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. ...
Thinking about what to wear to MCFC - I'm not staying on site, so I'll have to go home to change, which limits things to costumes that are comfortable for several hours and can be worn in the car. I'm thinking about: Marie Antoinette TARDIS Wasp Peggy Megara Trillian Valkyrie Marvel Girl That's a decent selection, I think.
