RAIN??
Atlanta had a 60% chance of rain listed for next saturday, worrying a lot of people about the parade and some of the photoshoots. As least for now the chance has dropped to 0%! Who knows what will happen between then and now, but hope it stays that way. I got my tiara for Surprise #1 about halfway done last…

Black Widow updates
…Because last night I finally finished the stupid Gaga bodysuit, and actually got a whole leg from the knee down sequinned. YEH! Attempts at a photo: So tonight is more sequinning, and I want to try to finish up Surprise #1, and also Starfire. I did end up trying a couple of things on yesterday – I had to put…

dragoncon stats
I love stats. I love making little lists and breaking things down and comparing. I’m just a nerd like that. That and I don’t feel like working at the moment, so… Dragoncon 2002: Took 6 costumes: 1 Superhero costume, 1 Star Wars costume, 2 TV costumes, 1 movie costume, 1 original costume 4 new, 2 old Dragoncon 2003: Took 9…

really bad Lady Gaga progress pics
I should have just had Chase take pics of me but didn’t think of it. Instead you get crappy self-pics in my leaning mirror.

to-do list 8/25/10
I feel much better about things at the moment. I was able to get the waistband and zipper onto the Gaga skirt last night with no issues, and it went onto the cage just fine and I started stitching it in place. I tried it on with the corset and it looks fine (though not so happy with the shape…

an odd worry
While at conventions, I’m always worried someone’s going to ask me something about the character I’m dressed as, or ask me to pose in a certain way, and I have no idea what they’re talking about. I think the only reason I worry about it because I’ve had it happen – one time when I was wearing Belldandy, and guy…

Lady Gaga Updates… or something
So my Lady Gaga is not going to be that good. My shoes and bodysuit are going to be rushed and not right – my wig’s not going to be right – and I don’t have enough hoops for the outside. My skirt’s not great, the seams didn’t match up even though I freaking did them all together and pinned…

Arica and Black Widow progress
I’m finally putting together my Gaga skirt. Almost done. Took a break for a little lunch (cheese toast, haven’t had time for the grocery in a while so it’s all we had!). Last night I started feeling icky in the middle of putting the zipper in my gaga suit, so I finished that off and sat in the living room…

Alyss progress!
It’s like 80% done. I’m really hoping to have it knocked out this weekend. Fingers crossed. The collar is almost finished – I need to make the little tubey things to go up the insides and attach them, and I need to sew my second line of snaps in place for it. I need to finish the edges of the…

Injuries, Black Widow and Alyss progress
Night before last sucked – I got the evening off to a bang by stepping on a needle. And I don’t mean just pricking my foot with it, oh no, it went clear through the side of my toe. Nice little piercing, I should have just slapped an earring on it and say I meant to do it. It hurt…

Alyss ruffles
Last night was spent sewing on ruffles, and then finishing the edges of what’s left to hand sew onto the bodice tonight. And also on wigs. I hate my wig for Surprise #2. I tried to make it work last night – added some wefts, straightened it (though it didnt like that much) and just tried to make it NOT…

Supergirl progress pics
I seriously don’t understand why people think it’s fine to repost people’s photos without permission. I’m generally ok with it, but when it’s a personal photo and nobody asked – it’s not cool with me. I’m tired of having to turn my personal photos “friends only” just because people don’t have the common sense to ask. Anyway. Yesterday I finally…

leave me alone, im building a tent
A few years ago, I pulled my parent’s little tv out of the kitchen, took it in the dining room and built a little tent around it, using the chairs and multiple blankets. I took my PS2 and some video games and dvds in there, made a little bed of extra blankets and pillows, and basically camped out there for…
