Photoshoot: Zatanna and Black Widow!
sorry I haven’t posted recently. Haven’t had much to talk about. Been sick off and on, some head cold. Missed seeing HP at midnight cause I still felt bad and Chase was still in the middle of it. Still haven’t seen it! 🙁 Went to the zoo saturday, first time we’ve made use of our zoo memberships 🙂 We took…

So far I’ve got – (and yes I’m being secretive until I’ve decided for sure) Rogue #1 Rogue #2 Wonder Woman-based character Disney character…

Friday night, my parents, Chase and I went to the Mercy Me concert. It was fun, and I actually won one of their CDs by checking in on Gowalla LOL That was awesome. Saturday I got up and got into Ms Marvel for the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Con. We got down there a little later than we wanted but…

Halloween 2010 saturday
Started off yesterday getting up at 6am with a migraine, and getting dressed as warm as possible to go out to Race for the Cure. We weren’t running but went to cheer on friends, it was fun and our t-shirts turned out great – I don’t have a pic of one yet but I’ll post one when I do. I…

Halloween 2010 at work
We had a Halloween party at work today, lots of yummy food and a costume contest and people dressed up. We had a black-eyed pea, a witch, a sort-of pirate, Julia Child (kevin), two fairies, an old lady, Foxy Brown, a vampire and an aerobics instructor. Here’s a few pics. First up, Kevin’s Julia Child costume. Wig is his Napoleon…

end of an era
So, last night, I used up the last of my aisle runner. This thing: Super cheap shiny fraying white satin. I don’t even remember how many yards I ended up with. It was a LOT. I never expected to get it back, for some reason I never thought of that – but when we got home from the honeymoon, there…

More GMX 2010 pics, and Briar Rose progress
So here’s my Ame-Comi Supergirl with the new wig: And here’s one of me and Kevin: It was freaking COLD in the hotel so I didn’t stay in it long. I was freezing to death! I put on Wonder Girl after that, and ended up wearing my hoodie over it most of the time. Here’s Wonder Girl: Me with the…

GMX 2010 pics!
I only have a few pics up so far, but here’s a few fun ones. Kevin as Superboy: I used that black Halloween hairspray stuff on his hair. It was nasty. I used up the whole bottle spraying his head, and it first it looked good, but after an hour or so it started to turn grey-ish blue. Then I…

Briar Rose Progress
here’s a pic: Forgot to say this this morning. Someone on the Beauty and the Beast LJ comm posted this cute keepsake box they have on the Disney Rewards site. The poster said they’d gone through their dvds and managed to get enoug points to get it. I thought, I might be able to do that too – and I…

Went to Lauren & Jeremy’s wedding, it was really cool. Their reception was a the Old Daisy and it was masquerade themed. Here’s a pic of me and Chase, courtesy Ash: As you can see I wore my Marvel Girl mask and Chase somehow wore my Huntress mask. Didn’t think it would fit anyone else but me LOL. Sunday I…

Artwork & Briar Rose updates
Costumes: I got the boning put in my Briar Rose bodice, and got the outer layer cut out and put together. I pinned the two sides together but haven’t sewn them up yet. I need to pick up some grommets, some lining for the shirt, and get my skirt fabric. I found something I really liked at Joanns, but they…

Tilt Shift video of the Dragoncon 2010 parade
I just deleted my livejournal. Anyway – post-dragoncon… I’ve updated my site with all the new stuff. Here’s my flickr gallery – I still have more to add once Chase sends them to me. And here’s our video of the parade. It’s a time lapse tilt shift video, I think it’s pretty neat. In other news, working on Briar Rose…

when did dragoncon become comic con?
So I was up way too early this morning to join in on the “marriott landgrab” for Dragoncon 2011. When we first started going – for probably I’d say 2002-2005, we had no issues getting a room at the Marriott. There was no “room grab” day when the rooms went on sale – they just went on sale and people…

last bit of birthday
Had the gang over for my birthday last night. We watched the rifftrax of New Moon, and let me say our new(er) Bluray player is MUCH better at pausing and starting than our old cheapie dvd player! Chase made cheese fondue for dinner and chocolate for dessert, the chocolate one was the best chocolate he’s ever made, it was soo…

the Supergirl wig curse
I feel like I was cursed when it came to wigs this summer – and I couldn’t really talk about it since I was keeping Supergirl under wraps. I searched for a long time for the 2 wigs I needed for Gaga and the wig for Supergirl. The yellow wig was weirdly enough the easiest. I found a blonde wig…

Thinking about costumes for next year..
Dragoncon kinda signals the end of the “season” for me – I generally start thinking about next year around this time of the year. So here’s my thoughts for next year… Halloween/GMX: Not making anything new for GMX – but I’m going to make Briar Rose for Halloween. I need to finish off my new Aurora wig I bought last…
