    COSI Plans

    I just bought our air tickets to COSI 🙂 We leave friday morning out of Nashville at 9:40… arrive in Columbus at 11:50. We’ll have time to maybe take a quick swim and then head over to COSI for opening night! I’m Amidala from 5-11. Chase will be flying out after work, I think, so he won’t get there until…

    a long overdue update

    (EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.) As I said in the last quick post, sorry for disappearing the past couple of months! Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I’ve been out of town almost every weekend since…

    woe is me

    Well I haven’t updated in a while, i’ve been busy constantly… it’s one thing after another lately! While I was going through the marathon of finishing the play poster for the school last week, I, in a fit of madness, bought a mannequin on ebay. I thought it would be nice to have one to store particular costumes on, like…

    2006 schedule

    Atlanta St. Pat’s Parade I’ve never done this event before, and it’s still not 100% that I’m going to go, but if I can hitch a ride… Wearing regular Princess Leia, most likely, if not, battle Padme with new shinguards. MidSouthCon Friday I’ll just be there for a couple of hours most likely. I’ll be staying at the hotel sat…

Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I’m still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It…
