when i couldn’t find my costume stuff
My day of working at home has turned into “Day of Looking for Stuff.” First I had to find all my Susan stuff. I haven’t worn it since 2003, so it was spread out all over. The corset and skirt were together, at least. One boot was where it was supposed to be – the other was hiding. One of…

Dragoncon 2003 pics!
I’ve been a zombie all day. I feel like I haven’t slept in days and I’m so sore! But yes it was all worth it! Friday we got up at 4:30 and started getting ready. Cath got to my house around 5:30 and we took off to pick Ash up. We got to the airport, checked our baggage, and then…

when i couldn’t focus because dragoncon
I am a nervous wreck. I’m up at 7 AM because I couldn’t sleep thinking about this weekend. I’m skipping my classes today – I would be completely useless. It would be pointless. I AM going to work though, that will keep me busy with things I need to do and may also calm my nerves. If I were off…

Upcoming 2003 Schedules & Plans!
I would just like to say here that I do not want to be a babysitter and tour guide at Dragoncon. That is all. Anyway. Other than that, I’m SO looking forward to Dragoncon. FINALLY a convention where all 3 or us – me, ash and cath – are together. So, so excited. God, Cath is going to LOVE dragoncon.…

Susan Sto Helit updates!
Ok, so I had to put the corset on good, and once I had that on I decided to try out the skirt, too. And then of course I had to put the wig on, and get my gloves and my scythe and the boots, so while I had it all on mom took a pic. I really like the…

Susan wig & corset & skirt!
My wig for Susan came Tuesday, btw. It cracks me up. It’s so awesome. Today I got home and the corset and skirt had come. The corset is so cool, I’ve never had a real corset before. I can’t get it on me by myself very well though. I really like it, it’s perfect for the costume. The skirt… hmm.…

Pre Dragoncon rush
Finished most of the work on Ocha’s white dress today. Still got to attach the collar and the sleeves. And maybe take up the sides a little bit. Also finished her tail (it’s neat!), and redid part of her wig last night (one curl was kinda funky), and discovered I could use the sewing machine on the vinyl I got…
