Otakon 02 ahoy
YAY!!!! My aunt had been calling around in Baltimore trying to find a suitable hotel for us to stay at for Otakon. She’d called lots of places, and told me when she found one she was going to go ahead and book the rooms. Yesterday I realised something, I’d forgotten to tell her to make sure it was really close…

Upcoming Convention Schedule
happy new year! Hmmm… so far… MidSouthCon: She-Ra and Misato Animazement: Lulu, Xianhua, and Faye Otakon: Urd That’s all I’ve got. I want at least one more costume for Otakon. I’d like to have 3 new ones for Otakon, but if I only have time for 2, that’s cool. I’m going to take Utena with me Otakon, and Ruby Moon…

Planning out Urd…
Well, I showed the Urd costume to mom. She didn’t flip, thank god. She suggested using flesh coloured material to cover that part, but I don’t want to do that. I thought maybe one strip of flesh coloured underneath my chest and then spirit gum the rest, maybe… I don’t know. I have a long time to think about it.…

Urd & She-Ra updates
Not much happening lately. I finally found a full length picture of Urd’s movie costume, the purple one. I’m gonna be doing that for Otakon, if mom doesn’t have a conniption when she sees it. I’m scared to show it to her! Hopefully Cath can go with us, and figure out some way to make a Belldandy costume. Maybe she…

Baby Indy & Elf Cloak
Like I said at my blog yesterday, I had a bunch of film developed over the weekend and one roll was from four years ago. Look how little Indy is!! Annnnd I officially updated my site finally. I’ve been updating it little by little since the con in November, but I finally got the con report up, and announced the…

when mom ran my table
MTAC pictures!! (again!!) I just thought these two were funny. First off… (missing photo) me working on the Morrigan/Lilith pic I never got a picture of, and second… My mom and Ash’s mom sitting at my art table… probably while Ash and I went and changed clothes. I posted some more about the other pics there at Lazy Eternity Blog.…

Makeup
Makeup and me do not mix. I can’t stand wearing it! The only time I ever wear it is when I’m in costume. And then I have no idea what to do with it. No one ever taught me what to do with it… that’s why I wanted my mom with me at MTAC. Well Mom took advantage of the…

Elf cloak updates
I got the fabric for my cloak today. I knew I wanted velvet, like the Rivendell elves, but the green velvet I first chose was too expensive (even on sale… I needed 5 yards, and it was $10 a yard). So I got a deep, deep green, almost dark grey – I think it’s perfect. Mom insists it’s not green…

when somebody thought I worked at the fabric store
So we stopped by Hancock’s this morning before going to my grandmother’s, because mom needed another Santa I guess. I went over to the pattern books and was looking for a cloak pattern, just to see how much fabric they recommended for it. I was going back and forth between the books and the pattern drawers, because I kept forgetting…

Upcoming Cons & Costumes!
I’m fixing to add a few things to the bottom of this page, so I thought I’d talk about the cons for next year. I really don’t know how people manage to go to so many throughout the year! Cath, Ash and I are all planning on going to MidSouthCon in March. We’re pretty sure we’re going to go to…

when edea was too difficult
this is the costume I’ve been wanting to do for 2 years now. That’s Sorceress Edea, for those who don’t know. But I run into several difficulties in getting it done… let me list them. #1 Not enough time. This costume is just so indepth. The dress isn’t all that complex, but the headdress and the back frame thingie! Not…

LOTR Opening Costume?
I’m trying to figure out what to wear to the LOTR opening. I’m thinking of reusing my Hogwarts robe pattern and make a nicer robe of a different colour and just wearing that and my elf ears… oh I dunno. I refuse to wear a dress. Hrm any suggestions?

Hogwarts uniform pic
Here’s my hogwarts costume I wore to the movie friday night. I want mom and dad to wait til next weekend to go see it, so I can wear it again. I may get a skirt and the socks and frizz my hair up and go as Hermione to MidSouthCon…

when i got sims hot date
Well work today was really boring, but it wasn’t so bad cause I was working at my aunt’s office today. Still, it was very long and boring. I got off at 3:30 and went to Hancock’s, cause I lost my Milly tie (which I was going to use as my Hogwarts tie), and I needed to buy some more fabric…

when there were more pics than you could shake a stick at
Title: More pics than you can shake a stick at! I found a couple of pics today. I hope no one minds me borrowing them for a second, I just wanna show off. The first ones are from The Sorceress’ Knight – whose owner made the BEST Seifer, and also made some really cool music videos. Ruby Moon & Suppi-chan,…

when i took cammy photos
Hm, I tried to post @ AD and it didn’t work. Publishing outage or something or another, let’s see if it works over here. I took a few Cammy pics. It was too late in the day for me to use my normal spot, the shady back patio, so I had to go around front… Luckily no one drove by…

when i shared our mtac recap
MTAC TRIP REPORT!! Thursday We left Memphis around 4:30 in the afternoon, and didn’t make it to the hotel until around 10. We got lost!!! I’ve been spoiled by staying in nice hotels the last two times I’ve gone out of town. One of those was a really nice Clarion (Claritin) in Gatlinburg, and I was expecting similar with this…

when i was mad at the mtac hotel
Well, until I finish my report (can’t now, mom’s on the computer I started writing it on), I’ll just say a few things. I hate the Claritin (Clarion). MTAC staff & everybody at the con were friendly, nice and made the whole thing worth it. They rock. I still can’t believe I won a prize in the cosplay! What did…

when i stole pics from fan’s view
Oh yeah, pics. Selphie Ranma Utena & Ranma ACP shoot, COSP shoot, Jupiter (should have taken off my Utena makeup first, I guess?) RubyMoon in the contest.

when i won
AHHHHHHHH I’m back. I’m tired. Not much to say right now, except I won Best Craftsmanship for Ruby Moon at the cosplay 😀 Didn’t sell much, but I had a lot of fun, spent a lot of money and talked to lots of nice people. I’ll have a write up for it soon. Unfortunately our camera is presumed lost right…
