Well it took me longer than I thought to get the rest of these cropped and uploaded but here they are at last. Started the shoot with Dapper Leia because I wanted my "real hair" costumes to go first. I forgot to do any pics with my sunglasses but not too upset about it because I really didn't like the sunglasses I bought for these, they were too skinny. Next ...
I generally don't make New Year's resolutions anymore, but I saw somebody say their resolution is to "pet more dogs" and that's what I'm going to use from now on if anybody asks about my new year's resolution. I didn't post last week which was not great because now I have to try to remember everything that happened Christmas weekend. Work just ended up being super busy the day I ...
Starfire - I got my wig, I need to start working on it - unfortunately my wighead clamp doesn't fit on any of our new counters or tables! D: Hopefully it will fit on the new work table I get pretty soon. I've got my fabric, and I got my boots in the mail today. I order the bodysuit... and Chase has been working on the gauntlets. I'm excited. WW ...
So MTAC was pretty much ok. Like I said in my previous post, I wore Belle, then Utena -- I need to fix the waistband on Belle, as I said last post. Also, it was too darn cold to wear the shoes I brought to wear with this!! LOL I opted for my tennis shoes instead! Link is ambushed by Mario and Luigi! I wrote pretty much everything I needed ...
(EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.) As I said in the last quick post, sorry for disappearing the past couple of months! Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I've been out of town almost every weekend since March, and add to that trying to finish various costumes ...
here's our MTAC pics! We went up for a bit Friday night, and most of the day Saturday, and Sunday morning. Friday night was mandos and aliens. I wore Starfire! Saturday I wore Belle first thing in the morning. A friend of ours kindly let us change in their room, so Chase put on his clone, and I put on Yuuko for a while. Then Chase put on Darth Stitch... ...
I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done? I said I'd do: -Padme ep 1 Parade gown Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I'm still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It wasn't perfect, far from it, but everyone recognized him as Qui-Gon. I ...
Aw man. The 501st photoshoot at Dragoncon is set for 2pm! Instead of in the morning! Which means I can't do it. It's smack in the middle of the day. I was planning on putting on Mara in the morning for the photoshoot, and then switching to Starfire until the masquerade, since wearing Star requires time to put on/take off the orange makeup. Sucks for me. I love doing ...
I've finished my Starfire costume and have added it to my portfolio!
Arwen is done: I finished Starfire's skirt - today, working on boot covers and the "metal" pieces. Also need to cut the wig. I started packing - I'm already up to four boxes. Geez. I'm only taking 7 costumes!
