Belle updates and Halloween plans
The blue dress is finished, except ironing. Got it all taken up, hemmed, and the sleeves fixed. The white shirt still needs the cuffs on the sleeves and the collar. Other than that, it’s finished. I’m regretting my fabric choice on the shirt, though. Already! Geez. So, the upcoming Halloween-related events: Friday – leave for Nashville Saturday – Nashville Comic/Horror…

getting nothing done, except some planning
Last night I dug around in the costume closet, found the 2006 blue Belle dress, and pulled the apron out. The apron was fine, it was with the dress I didn’t like, so yay – I have an apron. I can’t say I have an apron with NO work involved, because it was a pain in the butt to climb…

Engagement Pics!
The engagements pics went well Sunday, outside of my being sick the entire time. We met up with Pete, our photographer, downtown, and we took photos in front of the Orpheum, on Beale Street, and on the roof of the Peabody hotel at sunset. From what I could see of them in his view-finder, they looked pretty cool. He said…

LOL wut… weird comments
before I crawl back to bed, had to share this gem from myspace: “Do you OWN all these costumes you wear?? Are they your husbands??? and WHERE ON EARTH DO YOU THEM?? I’ve looked all over but can’t find some of those you have.” Yes, all of my girly costumes are Chase’s. what?? I mean, what?? on top of that…

Belle wig progress
Took a shot of the wig restyled into the ponytail. Excuse my wighead’s own hair sticking out from underneath it, LOL

Typical. + Belle progress
It’s not silly enough to post the whole thing, but just for the record, I’m not selling my Hoth Leia 😉 You know it’s funny – there are a few costumes I’ve thought about selling in the past. I’m not going to, but I’m not going to say the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. BUT – the ones I’ve thought…

LOL. a 5 year hammock
So I’ve apparently been at my job for 5 years, and when that happens you get a certificate and a choice of gifts. There was about 20 things – I ended up picking the hammock. I don’t know why that amuses me so much.

Buying wedding stuff
OK, I really, honestly was not trying to go for a Beauty & the Beast theme – and I’m still not. I was trying to keep it out of the wedding as much as possible, because early on, Chase told me he didn’t want to be thought of as a “beast” at the wedding, which I can understand LOL So…

Engagement Pics already
So we had from Pete, our photographer – he asked if we could do the engagement pictures this weekend. The “D:” is just because I realised I’m not prepared for it, have no clue what I want to wear, etc, etc. But the timing is fine, actually better, really… I’m excited to see how they turn out. We’re going downtown……

Halloween silliness and Wonder Woman pics
The annual Halloween emails/messages have begun. So far hit up: Belle (would i be willing to commission one for halloween), Stitch (how u make that mask i wanna make 1), She-Ra (been looking everywhere, would you be willing to sell yours?) and oddly enough Marion (do you rent your costumes, because I need a Marion costume…) I think I’ll keep…

Today…
Today was supposed to have been a do-nothing, go-nowhere, stay-at-home and finish some stuff kind of day. We woke up this morning and Chase said, “Let’s go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.” I said fine, so off we went. After that, we were just going to go to Sports Authority or Dick’s (if Dick’s was open yet) so Chase could…

More Dragoncon 2007 pics
I added about 40 more Dragoncon pics to our gallery – basically I was bored at work, went back through the photos I didn’t use (either because they were too similar to ones I’d already posted, weird, or blurry, etc). I found a few more to upload – here’s a few of them. Cath’s breakfast saturday morning. Yay for smiling…

website finished!
The website update/overhaul is complete — Check it out! All of our new costumes are added (with the exception of Chase’s Jango Fett and my doll Leia, neither of which we have enough pics of yet to add), and all the galleries are updated.. whee 🙂 Main page: (I don’t know what this was. The main page had the same…

Haven’t updated in a while…
Well our DJ double booked us, as I’m sure some of you from my regular friends list saw, LOL. He had no idea about the double booking – the agency did not contact him when they booked him to do the stupid prom same night as our wedding. He made good on it, though. He was not happy about the…

Horrorfest plans
Nashville Comic/Horrorfest is ON 🙂 I think I may take regular Leia or Animated Leia — blue Belle if I finish it in time — yellow Belle for the zoo Sat night, and Kingdom Come Wonder Woman for a photoshoot on Sunday. I got the parts of my blue Belle dress cut out and sewn together. I decided to cut…

MidSouthCon: party type-thing
I realise this isn’t going to affect most people on my LJ list, but I thought I’d throw it out there! Chase & I are having a party at MidSouthCon next year! (http://midsouthcon.org) It’s an engagement party, we’ll be hanging out all Saturday night with food & drinks and stuff, so if we know you or semi-know you or don’t…

Disney pictionary and stuff
First off I had a hair appointment yesterday and he curled my hair and it looked v. cute. Secondly, Cath, Rach and Nana came over last night. We ordered pizza, ate cupcakes, and played games. Cath & Rach had gotten me Disney Pictionary, and Rach and I made an amazing comeback at the last second to win the game! LOL.…

when i had a migrainey birthday
Yesterday was pretty good. For my birthday Chase gave me the Galactic Heroes Endor Han and ewok set, plus the jacket we’d seen at the mall a few weeks ago! I wore it to work yesterday, because usually I’m freezing at work, but for some reason it was warm in the office yesterday so I didn’t get to wear it…

Upcoming Schedule
I thought I’d mention my upcoming costuming schedule. October 20-21 is the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. They call it Horror Fest still, and I don’t know why – there really is nothing “horror” about it. It’s basically a comic show at the fairgrounds, with a few local artists, and last year – Thong Girl! Saturday night once it closes down, we…

Halloween and Belle updates
I’m hoping to go pick up fabric for my new blue Belle dress this weekend. I’d like to go ahead and get started on it, despite how burnt-out I was feeling right after Dragoncon. With no internet on my laptop, I keep looking for other things to do — and with Chase working on new helmet sculpts in the work…
