Con Nooga 2008 Pics
Ok, sorry it’s taken me so long to get to this. We’ve just been so busy! We didn’t take many – we were very lazy about pics. I was not in a good mood because I went to put my green Belle dress on saturday morning- and the sleeves looked horrible. That’s what I get for waiting last minute, I…

MTAC 2006 pics!!

2005 Year in Review!
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…

A-Kon 2005 Pics & SDCC Plans!
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…

Disaster!
Oh, drama… The grommets I got for Yuuko are awful. I’m having to cut the two back panels off and replace them, so I can put in different, bigger grommets that I KNOW will work. 🙁 Just another obstacle… this costume will be the death of me and it’s not even one I really want to DO anymore! Here’s a…

A-Kon 2005 Plans
Argh! I found the other Jupiter glove (whew!) but I’ve lost one of my hair bands, the earrings, and the choker. The hair band and earrings aren’t a big deal (I can wear one hair band and leave the earrings off, of course), but the choker… it was my original choker, from my first Jupiter costume, and it’ll be impossible…

Revenge of the Sith Event Pics! And Plans
Jupiter isn’t going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it’s about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven’t bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn’t be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there’s no time to worry with Jupiter. 🙁 Oh well – I’ll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking…

CompUSA Troop Pics
Last night SMT did a Star Wars thing for CompUSA – I got a few pictures. If only the truck wasn’t in the background!. That’s no droid! Oh, and here’s one Schmootika took, of me and dad: Me, as Leia, had a shoot out with a stormtrooper. Dad, as Qui-Gon, ambushed the trooper. The guy filming the stuff said he’d…

C3, Queen Amidala, Mara Jade, and A-Kon
C3, costume wise… I wore my Imperial Officer on Thursday morning – not much to say there, except I still want new pants and a new rank insignia thingie. I wore Padme lake dress for a while after that – and the necklace completely fell apart. LOL. That’s what I get for wearing a 3 year old costume and not…

Amidala Shoes, Parasol, Progress & Plans
I’ve actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals… and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I’m in love, haha. I painted my shoes…

Possible Costume Lineups
tentative schedule for next year: Shadowcon (jan 7-8, Memphis) nothing new – only going on saturday, will probably just wear Ozma. MidSouthCon (April 1-3, Memphis) Padme Parade gown (which is what I’m working on now – I have 3 months to finish it, so it *should* be done… if not, it’ll be at CIII) Celebration III (April 21-24, Indianapolis) Qui-Gon…

2005 Convention Schedule
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…
