The best part of waking up is NOT Folger's in your cup. Somehow I twisted my ankle yesterday. I woke up today and it was hurting. Not bad, but enough to make it hard to run. I took pictures of the puppies a few minutes ago, I'll try to get them up today or tomorrow. I didn't post Thursday because blogger wouldn't load for me. I didn't post yesterday because ...
My She-Ra wig is on it's way, and dad helped me carve the foam for my she-ra tiara today :D Now I have to figure out how to get the gold fabric around it without letting it lose it's shape...
I got my She-Ra dress yesterday! The skirt makes me feel like Xena :]
We cut the pattern for Lulu's skirt today. As soon as my credit card payment clears, I'm going to buy the red material for Misato. Once that happens, I'll be on the way with everything for Animazement except Xiaoyu. How about an update? Lulu - have grey fabric, have fur, various bits of jewelry, and a wig. Patterns for everything. Still need to get thigh-highs, lots of belts, lacey bits, ...
Went to Hobby Lobby (or, Hooby Looby as I originally typed) and got a few things today... beads and necklace stuff to start on my Lulu jewelry, and gold Friendly Plastic for She-Ra. They don't carry just regular Friendly Plastic anymore... all they have are the coloured strips. I didn't really matter what colour I got, since it's going to be covered in fabric anyway... but it was all the ...
Does the "Marilyn Blonde" Wig on this page: http://www.vavoom-gifts.com/bettie.html look enough like She-Ra's hair? I think I'm going to get it, and try to curl it up a little more to give it a little more wave. I don't want to spend a lot on this wig and the price on this one is much better than the ones I've been seeing on ebay.
Got red stuff for my she-ra cape, and some nice gold stuff for the... uh, gold stuff. That's about it though. That gold thread was expensive.
All right, pardon me but I gotta spill a little cosplay talk into Whisky. Not because I want to annoy you, no, it's because I need your opinion! The costumes I'm planning for next year... er, THIS year are: Rally Vincent (mostly done, will be won when bored at AZ), Misato's NERV uniform (for MidSouthCon in march) She-Ra (MidSouthcon in march) Lulu (Animazement in May) Faye Valentine (Animazement) Xianhua (Animazement) ...
happy new year! Hmmm... so far... MidSouthCon: She-Ra and Misato Animazement: Lulu, Xianhua, and Faye Otakon: Urd That's all I've got. I want at least one more costume for Otakon. I'd like to have 3 new ones for Otakon, but if I only have time for 2, that's cool. I'm going to take Utena with me Otakon, and Ruby Moon to Animazement if I get the minor mistakes fixed. I was considering ...
Well, I showed the Urd costume to mom. She didn't flip, thank god. She suggested using flesh coloured material to cover that part, but I don't want to do that. I thought maybe one strip of flesh coloured underneath my chest and then spirit gum the rest, maybe... I don't know. I have a long time to think about it. Right now I gotta concentrate on She-Ra. Gotta go get ...
