Southern Fried Pics
I was really looking forward to this past weekend; the con looked fun, I was excited to take Kevin, to spend the weekend with my grandparents, and best of all the weather was going to turn out great – it got up to nearly 70 degrees. Well I forgot what comes along with a change in the weather like that;…

MCFC – part 2
Saturday pictures! I wore the TARDIS in the morning: The angels have the phone box! Then I have a ton of costume contest pics up in the set! Unfortunately Chase didn’t manage to get every contestant, but there’s a good number. Dramatic judging: More judging: I love how I look more like Donna Noble when I’m not wearing my Donna…

GMX Pics: Part 2
Got the rest of my pics uploaded last night! A few pics of Sarah Sanderson from friday night: Time Lords visiting the Doctor… Kevin really was out of his element in this costume – the collar was uncomfortable for him, he had trouble walking in it – but he FELT really cool, haha. Peggy with a couple of Caps: I…

GMX 2014 – part 1
Got back home late last night from GMX! I only have my iphone photos so far – which is mostly pictures of Kevin – but tonight I’ll download the pics off my camera. (Chase forgot his flash so no nice pictures from this weekend, sadly) In the meantime, here’s my little recap and a handful of Kevin pictures. Friday we…

Upcoming Convention Appearances
I’ll be at Geek Media Expo in Nashville, TN weekend after next! I’m planning on bringing Rogue as Ms Marvel, Peggy Carter, my Time Lord, Sarah Sanderson, and Glimmer! I have no idea when I’ll be wearing what, but I’m excited for it! We’ve been to every GMX so far and it’s always fun. Then, I’ll be a guest at…

Dragoncon Stories: That Time I Was Abandoned
This is one of my all time favourite Dragoncon stories. Dragoncon 2003 was just me, Cath and Ash. We had a hell of a time that year. Monday rolled around, we packed up, had them pick up my costumes to ship them out, and checked out of our room – but, our f light didn’t leave for a few more…

Momocon Pics – Round 1
Here’s the pics from my camera and my phone, and a handful from Chase – haven’t gotten all of his uploaded yet. We had a fantastic time! It was definitely a different crowd than we’re used to at a convention, but Kevin was in Kevin Heaven. We were up before the sun on Friday and the trip in went really…

MomoCon Plans!
I’ll be at Momocon weekend after next! I’ve never been before so I am excited! At the moment I’m planning on bringing Donna, Belldandy, Belle, and Meg (which is new! I’ve got progress in my blog…). Since I’ve never been I don’t know when I’ll wear what, exactly. I will hopefully wear each of those costumes at some point between…

Dragoncon 2014 Song
Every year I end up picking out a song that is my “dragoncon song” for the year. A song gets to be a “dragoncon song” by either being something I’ve played a lot over the summer while working on costumes, or just because it makes me think of dragoncon. I thought I’d put together a playlist of my dragoncon songs.…

MidSouthCon!
Friday I ended up staying home from work with an awful migraine that was making me sick to my stomach – I don’t think the remnants of my head cold helped, either. Friday night I felt awful. So I was worried about Saturday! I had a friend’s baby shower to go to in the morning, and Chase’s birthday dinner that…

FAQ Friday: Repair Kit
Today’s question is… What’s in your repair kit? My repair kit is pretty subjective to the costumes I’m taking; I tend to think of what can go wrong on this costume, and make sure I bring stuff to repair it if need be. My husband also carries a completely separate repair kit of his own, and I never know what’s…

Um, no
Several several years ago, our local newspaper posted an article about one of our local cons. I found it by happenstance, just from googling around afterwards looking for pics. Well, they had used an AP photo from San Diego Comic Con for the article. That was the only image for the whole article. And I’m like, as long as this…

Weirdness
Strange coincidence. Or maybe not? All I can guess is strange coincidence. Hotel for the convention I’m going to tomorrow calls me on my cell phone yesterday. I didn’t answer since I didn’t recognize the number, but googled it afterwards to see who it was. No voicemail left. That wouldn’t be all that unusual except I don’t have a room…

GMX 2013
Well it’s a week later, I guess I should finally post about GMX, huh? We drove up after work on Friday! We got in later than we expected but we got into the room fast, and I threw on Trillian and we hung out downstairs, and went to the Favor panel! Kevin in the Falcon cockpit! Kevin was doing the…

GMX ideas
I know GMX is almost two months away, but I’m still on a high from Dragoncon and thinking about what to take. So so far I’m thinking.. Romana I Donna Runaway Bride Glimmer Trillian Belle Batgirl and maaaaybe Fionna because I was thinking of making a Finn costume for Kevin, but I’m probably going to remake his Link tunic instead.…

Peter Davison

Home from C2E2!
We had a good weekend in Chicago 🙂 But I’m glad to be home! I haven’t got my pictures downloaded yet, but I’ve got a handful of photos off my phone to share right now. I’ll post the rest in another entry later on! We left Thursday night, and we were on a TINY plane! Kevin and Chase were bumping…
