Today I’m posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays – the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together.

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Hairstyles – Ceremonial Leia Bun
Today I’m posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays – the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. I apologize for being repetitious, but since these 3 tutorials share a common base, I’ll just be copying some of the same directions and photos…

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Costumes for Beginners
Yep ya’ll are getting multiple posts for FAQ Friday today! With Halloween creeping up, I get asked about my Leia costumes a lot. A lot of times it’s folks who are new to sewing and not sure where to start. And a lot of times they’re interested in what I consider to be costumes that are pretty tough for a…

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Buns – Method 1
(2025 addendum: this method is no longer what I use to do the buns. Head to my Bun Tutorial page for some more up-to-date videos on how I do the buns now.) So last week I posted “Method #2” for doing Princess Leia Buns (aka, the “donut” version). That method was a quick way to do the buns using what…

GMX decisions
I finally sat down yesterday and figured out what costumes I’m going to take to GMX. Here’s my list as of today, along with my to-do list: 1. Rogue as Ms Marvel 2. Peggy Carter (tweak jacket fit, trim wig) 3. Glimmer (fix petals that have come off the staff, replace a snap) 4. Time Lord (glue seals back onto…

Upcoming Convention Appearances
I’ll be at Geek Media Expo in Nashville, TN weekend after next! I’m planning on bringing Rogue as Ms Marvel, Peggy Carter, my Time Lord, Sarah Sanderson, and Glimmer! I have no idea when I’ll be wearing what, but I’m excited for it! We’ve been to every GMX so far and it’s always fun. Then, I’ll be a guest at…

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Hair Buns – Method #2
(2025 addendum: this method is no longer what I use to do the buns. Head to my Bun Tutorial page for some more up-to-date videos on how I do the buns now.) I’ve had this FAQ written for AGES but never could find the time to add the photos. One day it posted by mistake, sans photos, so I deleted…

Cosplay Meme
A cosplay meme I stole because I’m bored. Cosplay Personality Meme! Choose a character from your cosplays that best suits each one… You relate to most: Belle. Ever since I was a little girl and saw the movie in the theater and had that whole, “SHE likes books and I like books too!” moment, preferring to be left alone to…

Dragoncon pictures I stole from other people
I’m a nasty little thief, stealing pictures from other people. I love this shot of my Peggy with the USO Girls from Kaydee: Although it makes me think my jacket is a little big? I need to adjust the belt up higher and it’s already wrinkling at that lower point. Hm. Anne onstage, from Sean Peck: Two gorgeous shots of…

Deep Thoughts
Now, what do I want to take to GMX? I’ve actually got a convention BEFORE GMX —- but it’s work, I don’t think I get to take any costumes LOL But I hear some of the booths have crazy costumes and stuff so I’ll be taking pictures. So, was thinking about GMX today. I may stick Kevin in Chase’s Time…

Dcon 2014: Anne Boleyn
Ok, I think this is the last costume wrap-up post I need to do. Due to the crowds I only got to wear Anne once. I probably would have braved it again if I didn’t already have proof that someone stepping on my skirt could rip it – Chase accidently stepped on the side of it as we were heading…

5 Days After: The costume you most squeed over from this year
5 Days After: The costume you most squeed over from this year The Olafs, Dreamcatcher and Figment, Mean Girls, Celebrity Jeopardy… off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of. And I’m being lazy and not posting pics. *falls back asleep*

Dcon 2014: Johanna costume
Well, you know, I really wasn’t sure about how this was going to turn out. This was my stress costume this year that I was still slapping together at the 11th hour and had gotten to the point of, “I don’t care, just finish it,” you know? So I was pretty surprised I actually liked how it turned out. All…

Dcon 2014: Donna costume
It would figure; the simplest costume is the one I screw up. It really needs some tweaks before I wear it again – I was really unhappy with the way the trim was laying especially on the bustline, so I want to switch out for something not so bulky that will lay flat. It was also causing the back to…

4 Days After: Somewhere you liked to eat while at DragonCon
4 Days After: Somewhere you liked to eat while at DragonCon Vortex! I love going here, good food. (I thought I had a picture of Kevin eating here at Momocon but i can’t find it.) We also like Max Lager’s. This year those were the only two major places we ate – we brought a mini fridge with us and…

3 Days After: Your favorite guest from this year
3 Days After: Your favorite guest from this year This year I got Joel, Frank and Trace’s autographs on Tom Servo, so they’ll be my pick of course. And Trace drew Crow which made my Crow-fangirl self super happy.

Dcon 2014: Rogue costume
I literally only have one decent picture of this costume. The other ones we took are blown out (can’t see the star) and have I have a huge hair shadow across my face. I wore this for about 2 hours friday afternoon – and had intended on wearing it again late friday or saturday night. But I couldn’t convince myself…

Dcon 2014: Marie Antoinette TARDIS costume
Well this one isn’t NEW but it’s updated and I’m really pleased with it! When I first did the TARDIS dress back in 2011, my plan was to create a couple of other underskirts to wear with it, so I could be different versions of the TARDIS. Well I never got around to that – mostly because I hate painting…
