First off - I actually won the Amidala Look a Like Contest at Cosplaylab. I couldn't believe it, there were so many good entries, and people I knew - I was hoping to get maybe honorable mention, but - yay! It made my weekend. SO I didn't get Yuuko *completely* finished - I'm going to get it finished for MTAC next year. I didn't attach the sleeves to the bodice, ...

Speaking of Yuuko - I finally got the extensions so I started ...

For Halloween this year- Meg from Hercules. Debating on getting a wig and styling it, or just slumming it and doing my own hair. I'm leaning towards my own hair, just to save money and since it's just a halloween costume, anyway. MidSouthCon- Classic Leia for MidSouthCon next year. I want to make an actual *decent* looking one (as opposed to my crap last minute one from 2002). Celebration III- Obi-Wan ...
