really bad Lady Gaga progress pics
I should have just had Chase take pics of me but didn’t think of it. Instead you get crappy self-pics in my leaning mirror.

to-do list 8/25/10
I feel much better about things at the moment. I was able to get the waistband and zipper onto the Gaga skirt last night with no issues, and it went onto the cage just fine and I started stitching it in place. I tried it on with the corset and it looks fine (though not so happy with the shape…

an odd worry
While at conventions, I’m always worried someone’s going to ask me something about the character I’m dressed as, or ask me to pose in a certain way, and I have no idea what they’re talking about. I think the only reason I worry about it because I’ve had it happen – one time when I was wearing Belldandy, and guy…

Lady Gaga Updates… or something
So my Lady Gaga is not going to be that good. My shoes and bodysuit are going to be rushed and not right – my wig’s not going to be right – and I don’t have enough hoops for the outside. My skirt’s not great, the seams didn’t match up even though I freaking did them all together and pinned…

Arica and Black Widow progress
I’m finally putting together my Gaga skirt. Almost done. Took a break for a little lunch (cheese toast, haven’t had time for the grocery in a while so it’s all we had!). Last night I started feeling icky in the middle of putting the zipper in my gaga suit, so I finished that off and sat in the living room…

Alyss progress!
It’s like 80% done. I’m really hoping to have it knocked out this weekend. Fingers crossed. The collar is almost finished – I need to make the little tubey things to go up the insides and attach them, and I need to sew my second line of snaps in place for it. I need to finish the edges of the…

Injuries, Black Widow and Alyss progress
Night before last sucked – I got the evening off to a bang by stepping on a needle. And I don’t mean just pricking my foot with it, oh no, it went clear through the side of my toe. Nice little piercing, I should have just slapped an earring on it and say I meant to do it. It hurt…

Alyss ruffles
Last night was spent sewing on ruffles, and then finishing the edges of what’s left to hand sew onto the bodice tonight. And also on wigs. I hate my wig for Surprise #2. I tried to make it work last night – added some wefts, straightened it (though it didnt like that much) and just tried to make it NOT…

Supergirl progress pics
I seriously don’t understand why people think it’s fine to repost people’s photos without permission. I’m generally ok with it, but when it’s a personal photo and nobody asked – it’s not cool with me. I’m tired of having to turn my personal photos “friends only” just because people don’t have the common sense to ask. Anyway. Yesterday I finally…

leave me alone, im building a tent
A few years ago, I pulled my parent’s little tv out of the kitchen, took it in the dining room and built a little tent around it, using the chairs and multiple blankets. I took my PS2 and some video games and dvds in there, made a little bed of extra blankets and pillows, and basically camped out there for…

blargh. ruffles.
I meant to spent last night getting some small things done – donna troy belt, mara jade bracelets, etc. I ended up spending the entire evening cauterizing the edges of my chiffon ruffles, and I didn’t even get halfway done. I really should have done it before I started sewing them on but hadn’t made up my mind at that…

yesterday… ruffle mania
Had a small disaster when the dye I had for my ruffles ended up not looking right. Ran out, bought some dye remover and some other colours to mix, came back and dumped all the ruffles in the remover, then redyed them. They ended up right after that but I wasted a lot of time with it. Once they were…

Various Updates and whatnots
I’ve been playing “Godfinger” on my phone for the past couple of days. Silly little game, but fun. Anyway – after work today I came home and cleaned the house so we wouldn’t have to do it later, then we Chase got home we ran errands. Another fabric store trip (more chiffon and a zipper), the beauty store (blonde wefts…

trial by fire.. and more Alyss updates
I woke up in the middle of the night because my head was hurting. I couldn’t decide if it was just one of those little headaches I tend to get at night (and go away when I get up in the morning), or the beginnings of a migraine. I went back to sleep and kept waking up with my head…
