Belle updates and Halloween plans
The blue dress is finished, except ironing. Got it all taken up, hemmed, and the sleeves fixed. The white shirt still needs the cuffs on the sleeves and the collar. Other than that, it’s finished. I’m regretting my fabric choice on the shirt, though. Already! Geez. So, the upcoming Halloween-related events: Friday – leave for Nashville Saturday – Nashville Comic/Horror…

getting nothing done, except some planning
Last night I dug around in the costume closet, found the 2006 blue Belle dress, and pulled the apron out. The apron was fine, it was with the dress I didn’t like, so yay – I have an apron. I can’t say I have an apron with NO work involved, because it was a pain in the butt to climb…

LOL wut… weird comments
before I crawl back to bed, had to share this gem from myspace: “Do you OWN all these costumes you wear?? Are they your husbands??? and WHERE ON EARTH DO YOU THEM?? I’ve looked all over but can’t find some of those you have.” Yes, all of my girly costumes are Chase’s. what?? I mean, what?? on top of that…

Belle wig progress
Took a shot of the wig restyled into the ponytail. Excuse my wighead’s own hair sticking out from underneath it, LOL

Typical. + Belle progress
It’s not silly enough to post the whole thing, but just for the record, I’m not selling my Hoth Leia 😉 You know it’s funny – there are a few costumes I’ve thought about selling in the past. I’m not going to, but I’m not going to say the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. BUT – the ones I’ve thought…

Halloween silliness and Wonder Woman pics
The annual Halloween emails/messages have begun. So far hit up: Belle (would i be willing to commission one for halloween), Stitch (how u make that mask i wanna make 1), She-Ra (been looking everywhere, would you be willing to sell yours?) and oddly enough Marion (do you rent your costumes, because I need a Marion costume…) I think I’ll keep…

More Dragoncon 2007 pics
I added about 40 more Dragoncon pics to our gallery – basically I was bored at work, went back through the photos I didn’t use (either because they were too similar to ones I’d already posted, weird, or blurry, etc). I found a few more to upload – here’s a few of them. Cath’s breakfast saturday morning. Yay for smiling…

Horrorfest plans
Nashville Comic/Horrorfest is ON 🙂 I think I may take regular Leia or Animated Leia — blue Belle if I finish it in time — yellow Belle for the zoo Sat night, and Kingdom Come Wonder Woman for a photoshoot on Sunday. I got the parts of my blue Belle dress cut out and sewn together. I decided to cut…

Upcoming Schedule
I thought I’d mention my upcoming costuming schedule. October 20-21 is the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. They call it Horror Fest still, and I don’t know why – there really is nothing “horror” about it. It’s basically a comic show at the fairgrounds, with a few local artists, and last year – Thong Girl! Saturday night once it closes down, we…

Halloween and Belle updates
I’m hoping to go pick up fabric for my new blue Belle dress this weekend. I’d like to go ahead and get started on it, despite how burnt-out I was feeling right after Dragoncon. With no internet on my laptop, I keep looking for other things to do — and with Chase working on new helmet sculpts in the work…

Costume Suggestions?
I’m looking for a costume to make for Dcon next year, something that will be easy and fun to dance in. Slave Leia was my #1 choice costume for that in previous years, but it’s gotten so oversaturated I wanted to find something else. I tried Wonder Woman and Belle’s pink dress this past con – Wonder Woman just because…

Sunday @ Dragoncon 2007
Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little. We had a 10am photoshoot with Eurobeat King, so we got up at 9 to get ready. Cath had moved to the girls’ room the day before, once Ash and Melissa had gotten up and settled – they were on the 36th floor!! LOL Ewok Leia is really fast & easy…

DRAGONCON 2007, PART TWO!
Saturday morning dawned annoyingly early. We had to get up at 7:30 in order to get up and dressed for the parade. Cath was smart – she got up, got dressed and got herself out of there before we even got started! I was going to wear Boushh for the 501st picture, and then walk with the helmet off with…

DRAGONCON 2007 PICS!
Well, actually I’ll start on Thursday 🙂 Thursday morning was a mess, I was running every which way trying to finish packing, finish a few non-costumey projects (Costume Monkey shirts for the girls) and getting the van loaded before Chase got home at noon. My boxes and stuff, almost packed. My cousin Catherine was volunteering this year. She needed to…

Kingdom Come Wonder Woman Sneak Peek!
Sneak peek! After this test fitting we realised a few things needed fixed – namely the straps of the shinguards around the ankles were too small (wouldn’t close at all), the foam inside them needed to be trimmed, and we needed to add extra straps to the wing harness, at the top. We’ve done all those except the addition to…

Boushh Preview Pic!
95% done, needs more weathering, need to reinforce the spikes on the gloves, and, well, put the spikes on the other glove, too, LOL. I really don’t like how my tunic came out, I want to re-do that after Dragoncon, at least take the front panels off and replace them. I cut them too short, especially at the bottom. So…

to-do list 8/28/07

Lots of Progress Pics, Ackbar, WW, etc
Friday, Ash came over and we ate spaghetti and pizza and worked on stuff. But first, I went to get my petticoat and discovered it’s got dogs. I guess that’s what I get for putting it next to her kennel. Geez. And when Ash came over, she brought her new friend. Aren’t they cute together? Man I love that mask.…

Updates, KC WW, Boushh, Endor Leia
Did a lot of stuff yesterday. KC WW- My shins wings got painted. Finished the other shoulder piece and got it pinned in, fixed the cape, painted the round cape pins and put them on. Made a new skirt mock up that is MUCH better. Finished the belt. Today — get the wing harness situated, focus on the WW for…

Boushh updates
Finished my Boushh boots! I gave up painting the darn things in covered them in the same suede. They look pretty spiffy; I’m pleased. Chase finished putting snaps in my new slave Leia skirts. I tried it on with my new boots and I love it, am once again pleased. Tried on all my finished or near finished Boushh parts…
