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 ...
All in all, I was very happy with how Rogue turned out! However I am planning to redo one certain element: I'm going to cut the arms and legs of the blue suit off and permanantly attach the gloves and boots. I don't like how you can see a tint of the blue through the single layer of the boots (from the ankle up) and the gloves (from the wrist ...
Well folks - that's it for San Diego. This year was no exception, and I'm tired of the stress involved with traveling out there. So that's it, this was more than likely my last Comic Con. Besides the snafu with the hotel (which was the MARRIOTT GASLAMP for those wondering. I did get a call from the asst. manager after I sent in a complaint saying I wouldn't be charged ...
For the first time ever... I got called "Vader" while wearing ANH Leia today. I'm about to go upload a few more pics - just the ones from yesterday morning - in my flickr account (see the link in my previous entry). I'll work on some more of them tomorrow. Yesterday morning I wore the new Lake dress... it went well. We did the RL breakfast and photoshoot, that was ...
Here's more pics! I didn't take many today - we were busy! I was very excited last night to see Gentle Giant has a giant Animated Style Leia outside their booth!! So that was my first place I wanted to go this morning. I ended up being stuck there for nearly half an hour with people taking pics. It was fun but man was I tired of smiling by the ...
We are here in San Diego! Our flight was smooth - getting into the hotel was not. I'm not going to go into it all, but the kicker was them sticking us in a room with only one bed - and we have 3 people. I called and asked why (because I had just called the hotel monday to confirm the room and they had told me double beds) and they ...
The X for Rogue is done. She's packed... The Padme brooches are done (although the casting didn't work; we're going to try it again after the con, so I'll be wearing the sculpey ones there) and packed. Lake dress is not done. It'll have to go with me on the plane. Yesterday was NOT a good day. I won't go into the details but nothing went right yesterday. The worst ...
And, in other news, I have either lost a cap or a really big filling in one of my teeth. It doesn't hurt at all, I noticed after dinner tonight, I realised when I ran my tongue over that last tooth in my mouth it felt... not right. Like the middle of my tooth is missing. I certainly haven't swallowed anything lately. Weird. Gonna call to get a dentist appt ...
My main brooch for mustafar padme is almost done; I'm a bit stuck on doing the little flowers on the sculpey. Everytime I tried to just carve the shape it ends up not looking right. I got tired of thinking about it yesterday so I haven't looked at it since. I went to the fabric store friday - got my yellow spandex for Rogue. (Also finally got that order for ...
Well, Ash and I have decided not to go to Legoland in San Diego next month; it's too far away and too expensive. Instead, I realised the Hotel del Coronado is very near there. I'd love to go see that! I think we may do that that wednesday afternoon before preview night. If not that, I also realised the Salk Institute is only 15 minutes away as well. Another thing I ...
