Lum & Lina Inverse updates
Got fabric for Lum and blue fabric for Lina yesterday. Decided not to use the shirt I originally got for it, and to make it. That’s about it… Ash got her fabric for Skuld, and gloves and such. I also got her a wig for skuld. We originally weren’t going to do that, but I found a good one for…

Urd progress
Finished the purple portion of my Urd dress… meaning I got the zipper in, fixed the bottom and got all the edges turned under. Made the purple sleeves, too. Now I need to do the black parts and the yellow parts… get boots and make boot covers. Need to find bracelets.

Wig mania!
‘m swimming in wigs!!!! AHH!! I got my Lina wig. I’m in love with this wig, it’s so beautiful!! I put it on and took some Asuka pics this afternoon. It’s definitely the nicest wig I’ve ever owned. Also got Urd wig #2. Or 3, however you’re counting. We’ll go with 1 and 2 for now. Urd wig #1 is…

Lina gloves, and Urd updates
I dyed my Lina gloves!!! They turned out good, I’m so happy XD It’s so easy! Now I’m ready for Ash’s Yuna sleeves! Dad and I went and got chicken wire and wallpaper paste and a bucket for making paper mache paste. I’m worried about doing this, I’ve got so little experience. Today got my Urd pattern cut out and…

when i went hunting for lina pants
Mom and I went downtown today to go to Hot Topic. It was the only place I could think of in Memphis that might have red vinyl pants (for my lina costume). An hour’s drive, a whole lot of traffic and two dollar parking for a “might have.” We got there and I didn’t see any. Dude working there came…

Lina & Urd wigs
I just bought my Lina wig. whew. It’s now the most expensive wig I own. I wanted something that would look more natural than just a regular straight style wig. I bought it from the same people I got my She-Ra wig from. It’s layered and really nice looking. It’s a little darker than I really wanted, but… it’s just…

when i found a lum bikini
Today… Ash and I ran around all day. First we went to Salvation Army to look for shoes for my Urd costume, shoes for Ash’s Yuna costume, and a skirt for her Yuna. I didn’t find any shoes. Ash found some but they were too small. We actually found a *great* Yuna skirt – but it was too small too…

when i found more pics!
More Animazement pictures … there’s me and Ash on the first page of pics as Xiaoyu (tho we’re listed as “more card captor sakuras”!) And then later on there’s two of me as Lulu. You know, I realise I didn’t wear my wig correctly, now. The part of hair on the right side of my head should have been over…

Lum fabric
I’m having trouble finding tiger striped furry fabric for Lum. Like I said, all that was at Hancock’s yesterday was ugly. They had some on their site but it was more expensive than I’d like. I looked at Wal-mart today, and they had some that was decent, but I’d rather it be a little more furry. I’m going to look…

Lina & Urd stuff
Went to the fabric store today!! I got black fabric for Lina’s cape, and purple to line it with. Also got off-white fabric for the white bits of her costume. Got a *perfect* pattern for Urd. It’s great. And black fabric, sort of suede like for the black pieces of her costume. And yellow ribbon for the yellow bits. I…

when i had thoughts on lulu
I like my lulu costume. but I’m not satisfied with it. I wish I could find some lovely grey leather like material and redo the sleeves and skirt. Make the skirt longer in the back. Wider on the sides. But the thing that really bugs me is the trimming. Yeah, we bought it and sewed it on. It wasn’t that…

Lum!!
Dude!!! I’m totally doing Lum for MTAC!! I’ve always wanted to do a Lum costume… but I didn’t want to wear it to a big con so I always figured if I ever actually made it it would just be for fun. But then I thought, why not wear it to MTAC, it’s not such a huge crowd. I just…

Upcoming schedules…
Things to do: *Hotel reservations for Dragon Con *Airplace tickets for Dragon Con *Hotel reservations for MTAC I’ve decided we’re going to go to MTAC for at least Saturday. Drive up early Saturday morning, spend the night there and leave Sunday morning. One night at the hotel will be cheap. And since it’s pretty much just that one day, I’m…

when I posted our animazement 2002 recap
THURSDAY Picked up Ash, rode to grandmother’s had dinner. Ride to Nashville was pretty uneventful. Got lost in Nashville. We passed the Clarion where mtac was last year – is it closed? Looked like it. If it is, good, because it had ugly wallpaper and mean employees and icky bathrooms. Got to hotel finally, went to sleep. FRIDAY Got up…

Leaving for Animazement 2002
Yep, tomorrow at this time I’ll be at Animazement 😀 I know this should go in my cosplay journal, but OH WELL! Xiaoyu… I’m pretty satisfied with Xiaoyu. I’ll probably wear it most of the day friday, with Ash in her 1P Xiaoyu costume. Speaking of which, I painted the design on the back of Ash’s Xiaoyu costume, and I’m…
