    Dcon 2014: Donna Noble Costume

    September 2, 2014 /

    Starting out with some of my older costumes – less thoughts that way which is good cuz I don’t think my brain is fully functioning again yet. So, nothing really new with the costume except the wig. My hair’s gotten way to long for Donna as I mentioned before – so I got a wig late last year. A few…

    Lucky Number 13

    September 2, 2014 /

    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. To the point I wasn’t comfortable rewearing Marie Antoinette or Anne Boleyn as the weekend wore on. And it’s not so much the amount of people – it’s the lack of crowd control. Dragoncon could easily…

    Final Dragoncon Line-up

    August 26, 2014 /

    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…

    4 Days To Go: Something you are really excited about this year This year? I’m excited about several of the guests, especially Terry Gilliam!

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

    August 23, 2014 /

    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

    August 22, 2014 /

    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.

    A sort-of schedule

    August 18, 2014 /

    So, here is an attempt at a Dragoncon Schedule. Wednesday: Evening – Johanna, for a photoshoot. I will not be wearing this “on the floor” that night. Hoping to go take some shots on the 10th floor (and the elevators before they get too crowded). If anybody else is already in and has a Hunger Games costume and wants to…

    Dragoncon round-up

    August 8, 2014 /

    Where I’m at Anne Boleyn: Mostly done. Chase is working on the crown. Finished the jewelry last night. Need to try it on once more and make sure the back panel is sitting correctly, and readjust the buttons that aren’t sitting right. And get some insoles for my shoes. Peggy: I need to curl the wig again, but otherwise very…
