    Dcon 2014: Emma costume

    So last year I did all these little updates to Emma – mostly fixing the issue with the bottoms not reaching the corset, the cape closures. And then I didn’t wear it last year. I made sure to bring it back this year and got into it on Saturday afternoon. However, after all that, I only wore it for maaaaaaybe…

    Dcon 2014: Donna Noble Costume

    Lucky Number 13

    This year was weird. The bad: -First and foremost, Ash wasn’t there. It just made the weekend feel off. -The crowds were really heavy.

Dragoncon could easily…

    Final Dragoncon Line-up

    Last schedule thoughts: Friday I will definitely be at the Vintage Vogue Fashion Show, so I’ll be over at the Hilton from 12:30-2:30. If I can manage I’ll try to wear Anne a little longer than that, otherwise I’ll probably be in her again Sunday. Saturday I’ll be at the USO Girls/WWII shoot at 12:30 as Peggy, and later that…

    5 Days To Go: One of your best memories from DragonCon

    5 Days To Go: One of your best memories from DragonCon I have a lot. Meeting Chase. Partying with the girls. Our skit in 2005. Costuming with my mom. But I’ve talked about all those things recently, so in the effort to not repeat myself too much, here’s a more recent fun story. In 2010, I think it was? Stan…

    I wanna go

    Before every Dragoncon, before every Disney trip, I always feel like Joey in, “The One Where Ross Got High.” Yet I’ve never been able to find a gif of that so I could share my feelings with the internets. So today I made my own.
