Whoo! It's been a busy few days! First up, we finished the new tombstones! Gravestones? Headstones. What is the best term. I like Tombstones best. And we got some lights for night time. Thursday was the Pink Palace event. After work I decided I had time to take a quick nap before I got ready. Took my nap, went to start doing my makeup and for the second time could ...
Here's a preview of some more photos from Saturday: (edit: photo link was broken and I can't find this anywhere anymore, so I removed it!) I didn't get any besides that uploaded - I was home sick from work yesterday so I pretty much slept all day. Anyway, as I've been going through my old hard-drives I occasionally come across stuff I never uploaded, or I haven't had uploaded in ...
Today I'm posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays - the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It's been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles - most of my Leia costumes I did 2005-2007ish. I don't claim them to be 100% accurate then ...
I found this on tumblr. Thought I'd do it - going to have to catch up, so doing 2 of them today: Day 1. A photo of your first Dragoncon We were babies - Ash was still in high school. Day 2. One of the first friends you met via/through/ at Dragoncon Met my husband at dragoncon 2005. Tonight! I got the yellow sections reattached to Pink Barf, made my Marie Antoinette necklace, ...
When I wore Mara Jade as Arica at GMX sat, I had Chase take a few pics of me to match some of my fav slave Leia pics from a few years ago... I'll post some more pics and a small write up later :)
I'm sorry I haven't posted much lately. We've been busy packing and dealing with house stuff (keep your fingers crossed) that writing in the blog is not something I've been thinking of! In the meantime here's my more recent white backdrop photoshoot pics.
Ok, here's the rest of the adcon pics! Friday was a looooooooong drive. Even though we left earlier than we planned, it stormed really hard during the drive, and then we were stuck in standstill traffic for at least an hour about halfway there. We finally got there around 8 that night, got checked and our stuff up to the room, and got some late dinner and crashed. Saturday the convention ...
I added about 40 more Dragoncon pics to our gallery - basically I was bored at work, went back through the photos I didn't use (either because they were too similar to ones I'd already posted, weird, or blurry, etc). I found a few more to upload - here's a few of them. Cath's breakfast saturday morning. Yay for smiling at the right camera. All the added photos should be at ...
I'm looking for a costume to make for Dcon next year, something that will be easy and fun to dance in. Slave Leia was my #1 choice costume for that in previous years, but it's gotten so oversaturated I wanted to find something else. I tried Wonder Woman and Belle's pink dress this past con - Wonder Woman just because that's what I felt like wearing at the time (and it ...
Saturday morning dawned annoyingly early. We had to get up at 7:30 in order to get up and dressed for the parade. Cath was smart - she got up, got dressed and got herself out of there before we even got started! I was going to wear Boushh for the 501st picture, and then walk with the helmet off with the Rebel Legion, since Chase was wearing part of his Han ...
