Every weekend should be a 4 day weekend
What a nice weekend. We barely did anything. Thanksgiving day we got up and headed to family lunch. I curled my hair overnight and it looked cute for a couple of hours. It was pretty much deflated by the time we got home. After we got home and I had my own MST3K Turkey Day — Hercules Unchained, The Brain…

Leia progress, etc
My patreon finally has some content on it! Going forward I’ll be saving my instagram story breakdowns over there after they’ve expired on IG, and I have a slightly more “walk through” recap of my new Leia dress construction so far up over there, too. I plan on doing this with all of my costumes – more in-depth, step-by-step instruction…

MCFC, ‘Tis the Season, a lost ID, lost power, and lost my mind
This weekend was nuts. But let’s ease into it with a picture of Luna. Friday was a normal Friday at work, just steadily busy, until around 2 it was like the world went mad and like 10 hectic problems developed at once. And I had to leave on time because I was on a tight schedule. I ended up leaving…

Leia progress!
I felt kinda off-and-on weird all weekend, I’m chalking it up to upping my dose of one of my medications. One second I’d be freezing cold and then suddenly burning up and drenched in sweat. One second ready to go out and ride my bike for an hour and the next my head pounded/can’t keep my eyes open. Ugh! Very…

Anne pics!!
I got my Anne pics uploaded last night!! OMG I love them. I already talked about our trials just getting the photos so I won’t get into that again. Let’s just get to the pictures. Have I mentioned how cold it was? OMG it was so cold that day. I also mentioned in the post link above how I messed…

Finding Tobey, more pics
Another busy weekend!! Friday night we had the Indie Memphis red carpet event! So Thursday night I washed my hair and put it up in curlers. Got up the next morning and it was rainy and humid and I knew if I took them down before work, my curls would be GONE by that night. So I left my curlers…

Halloween, Part 2
Well this was probably the most disappointing Halloween in a long time. Since the only people who see me at my job are my coworker and my boss, and it was cold that day… I just wore Chase’s Spike kigu to work over regular clothes. Over the weekend I decided that for Halloween night, I’d wear my DCNU Wonder Woman…

Halloween weekend!!
IT’S HALLOWEEN YALL! We had a really fun weekend. Friday night started with cooking dinner and settling in on the couch to start watching Stranger Things 2. We got through 2 episodes that night. Saturday morning we slept in a bit, and then I started getting ready. (How to tell a photoshoot is happening at my house) We had very…

The Nun Abides
Spent the last week going to play practice, having a migraine, and working on the nun. The robe isn’t much to look at. Followed the pattern exactly for this — I did make it a little bigger because I’d rather work down than have it be too small. This is a really thin black satin and I there are times…

TFA Leia Pics!
Last bit of photoshoot! THAT WIG *_* I have the portfolio all updated, everything from Dragon Con is now finished. Yay! I have to go to Vegas for work next week. Boo. Then I’ll be swinging into Halloween stuff!! Making a nun costume for a friend! And also helping out with the set for a Christmas play (shows are in…

Medieval Leia, birthday stuff
So Friday night we threw up the smaller backdrop and quickly reshot Medieval Leia and TFA Leia. They turned out MUCH MUCH better. No more harsh shadows from the buns across my face and TFA dress isn’t blown out. I got medieval Leia pics back and uploaded yesterday. So I’ll have her portfolio page updated sometime soon. I’m hoping to…

8 miles outta memphis and I got no spare
I have more photoshoot pictures!! Unfortunately some of them did not turn out. TFA Leia’s pics not turning out is my fault – because of the wrinkles I didn’t think to iron out. So we are going to reshoot that one. Then, the lights on medieval Leia were weird and made the whole thing look super weird, so while we’re…

MCX, photoshoot, Young Frankenstein, etc
So my high school reunion is coming up. Am I going? Anyway lots to talk about from this weekend!! Friday night Chase & I had tickets to go see Young Frankenstein at Elmwood Cemetery. Coolers were welcome so we packed up sandwiches and soup and camp chairs and headed down there. I thought it might be chilly at night by…

Downton and other stuff
So Friday at Dragon Con last week, I almost fell while wearing Dolores. I was going down those short steps between the Hyatt and the food court, there by the chair lift, and I misjudged my step and nearly fell. I managed to grab onto the rail and keep myself from totally falling over… but managed to twist my foot…

dragoncon 2017
Uggggggggh I’m back at work today and feel like a zombie. Came back to a TON of stuff too so double Uggggggggh. BUT! It’s time for this year’s Dragon Con recap. So Chase had originally planned to be doing a scooter trip that weekend, so we were both going to be out of town – but Hurricane Harvey put a…

i wanna go
Where’s my Joey “I Wanna Go” gif? There it is. The past two years when we haven’t been doing a “full” Dragon Con I’ve been totally fine with it up until it’s upon me. I’ve been totally fine with not being there today. Up until today. Now I’m not ok! Especially since I’m sitting at work. 1.5 hours down, 6.5…

it’s almost time
It’s dcon time. Well almost. Uuuuugh I still have to get through a day and a half of work. I just wanna GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO seeing everybody already on the road or already there is driving me crazy. I’ve got everything packed and ready to go, except the headdress since I’m still hand-sewing on it… I’ve got a space left for it…

we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
Finished up a few things last night. Got it all packed up. Still working on Lucy’s headdress — but I think that’s about it at this point. I’ve got to finish the handsewing on that and it’s taking forever and making my fingers ache. Everything is packed except for that lower part of the headdress (that I’m still sewing on),…

a gigantic post
Warning you now, I have a ton of photos today. Going to start with probably the least interesting thing. Sims screencaps. And they’re not even screencaps. I literally just took photos of my monitor, because I’m lazy. It never fails that anytime I’m in the final crunch of finishing stuff before a deadline, my brain is like, “Ok, let’s play…

a pretty girl is like a melody
Ok so I promised today I’d post more about the pink thing. So this thing has a massive, giant head-dress. It’s a showgirl costume basically. Comically large head-dress, if that gives you a hint. So I wanted to find something to use as a base to build it off of. I found this massive crown on amazon: And on me:…
