Belle: Then and Now

Sorry I haven't posted about Dragoncon yet! I'll have a big post ready to go this weekend. In the meantime - As close as we could get to recreating my 2005 Belle pic -- they've remodeled the stairs and the angle isn't quite right, but I still like seeing the two together :)

just a little weekend blurb, and an old picture.

Had a great weekend in Nashville. Went to Cheesecake Factory, the Container Store (so excited - we don't have one in Memphis but we went to the one in Little Rock for my aunt's birthday last year LOL), Antique Archaeology (the American Pickers store), and then spent the rest of the night filming video for Ryan's concert. Had lunch with my grandparents on the way home yesterday. Going through old ...

Old pics, part 1

I've been uploading some old costume pics from my external hard drive, just as a back-up, mostly. Some of them I haven't seen in YEARS. Heres a handful of ones I found funny or interesting; I'll just post a few now and some more later. This one cracks me UP because Kevin is passed out asleep behind me. This was his first con (mtac 04) - I guess it was really ...

a retrospective of the marriott marquis

I like to take pics of our hotel room whenever we're out of town, so i realised I've got a decent collection of pics of our Marriott room from almost every dragoncon. I noticed, when digging through my '02 pics, how different the rooms looked back then. seriously... marriott room '02? You look like a cheap motel room a hooker is about to get killed in. (The grainy, scanned in ...

shall i embarrass myself some more?

Digging through my old hard-drive for that Sailor Moon pic yesterday, I came across quite a few "lost" costume pics from a decade ago. I don't have a date on this one, though I'm thinking it's sometime in 2001 also, very early on in my costuming making. I bought this costume off ebay - Sailor Mars: I tossed on a wig I had and my Asuka shoes and took a few ...

random memory

Here's a random memory of a costume I never did. Back in the dark ages, I used to look around on ebay pretty often for costumes. This was way before the influx of chinese commissioners, and the search term "cosplay" would only bring up about a page or two of results, if that. I would go search just to see what was out there. Well at some point, someone was ...

My fav photos of 2010

I don't think I did a Year in Photos last year. Maybe I did, I'm too lazy to look. But I went through and added my favourite pictures from this year to a flickr set. I'm not going to post them all here, but here's a sampling. In January I went to New York... In February I made a snowman (rare around here) and we celebrated Catherine's birthday at Paint-a-Piece... ...
