Finished my Boushh boots! I gave up painting the darn things in covered them in the same suede. They look pretty spiffy; I'm pleased. Chase finished putting snaps in my new slave Leia skirts. I tried it on with my new boots and I love it, am once again pleased. Tried on all my finished or near finished Boushh parts -- discovered a few things that need to be fixed. ...
Finished padme last night. I can pack her up. And my new slave leia boots, and dyeing my endor poncho. It's a little on the light side, I may dye it again -- AFTER Dcon. I'm tired of fooling with it, now. Chase worked on my Boushh helmet most of the night, and we started attaching my Boushh knees. Tonight, more Boushh knees, Wonder Woman stuff, and Marasiah stuff. One ...
I did not get as much done this weekend as I would have liked, but things are coming along. One thing I didn't get a picture of was my upgraded Wonder Woman tiara - I finally found a star the right size and shape, and Chase painted it and attached it last night, and buffed the whole thing. I still need him to finish my other metal pieces and buff ...
I've started having dragoncon dreams - a little later than usual! Two weeks from now I go pick up the van... eek. We're actually hoping to be in Atlanta around 7 or so on Thursday. That's the earliest we've ever gotten there, except for 2005 when we got there Thursday afternoon because we had Phantom of the Opera tickets. Anyway - we figured out the Boushh knees last night, and Chase thinned ...
My Chinese Sweatshop Rogue costume arrived yesterday (after days of fighting with the post office). It's kinda nice to just have a costume magically appear on your doorstep, LOL. It's pretty nice for what it is, and for what I paid. The only problem was that it was too big. It fit kinda ok through the chest and shoulders and sleeves (a tad big), but from the chest down, it ...
Friday, I did indeed wear Arwen, and got a few new pics. I went without the wig most of the time, only put it on for the pictures. I wore Susan first thing Saturday morning - it was quite interesting having to drive the 45 minutes to the con hotel while wearing this (I didn't wear the wig while I was driving, though, LOL) Friday I discovered that Death of Rats ...
First off, my new toy came today! oh heck yes... New Leia pics we took a while back-- I want to do the Rebel Legion trading cards this time around, so I needed better pics of some of my costumes. Next up - padme lake dress -- stormtrooper -- imperial officer -- maybe the parade dress Although, speaking of that, when I was cleaning and organizing my costume closet the ...
Friday we went and saw The Prestige. I left my phone at the restaurant and we had to go back for it. Geez. Saturday morning I woke up with a horrible headache and eyeache. I took some advil and it went away, but I was left with a lingering feeling of slight ickiness the rest of the day. I got into Hoth Leia - the hair took longer than I ...
Saturday morning was the parade! I had to iron that monster of my lake dress, and we didn't really get my hair on right - we were in a hurry because we were running late! Neither of us went to the 501st pic, but by the time we got to the staging area, the parade was just starting, so that was lucky! Since the Rebel Legion and 501st march last, ...
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 ...
