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 guess. So I didn't wear it. I was really disappointed. ...
At the beginning of the year I said I wanted to do: 1. Hoth Leia 2. Darth Vader 3. Padme's Lake dress 4. Bespin Leia 5. Finish Yuuko 6. Padme's Funeral Dress 7. Wonder Woman 8. The Bride 9. White Witch 10. Dorothy 11. ANH Leia 12. Team Zissou outfit So what did I finish? Hoth Leia? Yes, plus Bespin Escape: Darth Vader? Yes: Padme Lake Dress? Yes, twice!: Bespin Leia? Nope. Bought the materials, haven't touched them. Finish Yuuko? Somewhat - ...
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 ...
I've finished my Yuuko costume and have added it to my portfolio!
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, ...
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 list of things that have gone wrong: 1. Couldn't find the material ...
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 to match that fabric to remake it. I'll have to ...
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 of Yuuko - I finally got the extensions so I started ...
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 burn us all a copy on DVD! I can't wait ...
