Eowyn Shieldmaiden
For ROTK I want to do Eowyn’s white dress with the brown vest over it. At first I wanted to do this pretty green dress of hers but I think I like the white one better. I’d like to do her in armor from ROTK… for ROTK… but I don’t think I’d want to wear armor in the theater… you…

Fabric shopping
We went to hancock’s day-before-yesterday to use this coupon kristie had saved for us (but we forgot to use the coupon!) I got more fabric for amalthea – they didn’t have enough first time I got it and I thought I could get away with what we had… but I needed more. Luckily they had gotten another bolt of the…

when we saw chamber of secrets
Harry Potter, very very good. The only thing I can say I didn’t like was Moaning Myrtle. I did get kind of antsy in the long talking parts though (like in hagrid’s hut). And it did end on a weird “yay hagrid” note… I mean, that’s all very well and fine but it just dragged out and seemed… weird. I…

Susan Sto Helit updates!
Ok, so I had to put the corset on good, and once I had that on I decided to try out the skirt, too. And then of course I had to put the wig on, and get my gloves and my scythe and the boots, so while I had it all on mom took a pic. I really like the…

Susan wig & corset & skirt!
My wig for Susan came Tuesday, btw. It cracks me up. It’s so awesome. Today I got home and the corset and skirt had come. The corset is so cool, I’ve never had a real corset before. I can’t get it on me by myself very well though. I really like it, it’s perfect for the costume. The skirt… hmm.…

Amalthea & Utena updates
I finished Sakura, except I’m going to make some loose socks to wear with it. I got a pattern and fabric for Amalthea yesterday. I got some pretty light lavender satin for it… but they didn’t have what we wanted of it – 4 1/2 yards. THey only have 3.75 or something. So I got that and decided to make…

Utena photoshoot!
I didn’t chicken out, we took the Utena pics! When I got out of the car, tho, my little jewel on the front fell off and broke!! ><; Luckily I’d brought tape so we were able to fix it. Yesterday I was just kicking around different sites and found the wig I wanted for my Susan costume. So I went…

my dog ate my utena medal
My dog ate my Utena medal. I made them out of sculpey the other night… the cat knocked the star shaped one off the table… I scolded the cat and put it away… next thing I know mom is handing me what’s left of it. The dog ate it. I swear they work together on these things every once in…

Katsucon 03 plans!
Today I’m going to get my katsucon room, my first thing for that. need to register. I still haven’t found anyone to go with me. Sad face. My grandparents said they’d take me. So at least I got them. She even said she’d pay for the plane tickets, score. Katsucon is just going to be so weird, me being by…

Amalthea progress
Cut pattern for Amalthea out last night. I don’t expect it’ll take too long. If there weather warms up slightly, dad and I are going to go out to the park and take new pics of Utena this weekend.

when we had a halloween party
The party tonight was fun! First we all ate a little something, then played some DDR… Then we played our murder mystery game. I was Eve, who was pushing her husband to claim the title of the recently dead duke so she could be a duchess, and who claimed to be from a rich french family but who had actually…

when we took arwen pics
Arwen pics are up! I also went back and added a few to my “thought” post from earlier: Mel is going to be Hermione for the HP opening, so I thought I’d wear one of my red wigs and be Ginny. I can’t decide tho, do I want to be a more natural red head and wear my Lina wig?…

when i compared hermione hair
Oh yeah! Before After Before and After Dying… see, all those lighter blonder “honey” spots are gone! Yay! Also you see normally when I wear Hermione, the night before after washing my hair I braid it and let it dry like that (like in the first pic). I didn’t do that this time, cause I didn’t want my hair to…

when i wore arwen to school
Yesterday was OK. I wore Arwen all day… it was ok to work in, the heels gave me a little trouble, and I kept stepping on my dress. I got to school and found out there had been a threat that morning – they have found a live ammo clip right outside the back of the school with a note…

Halloween 2002 & Arwen thoughts
I’m very happy with my Arwen costume!! 🙂 Some problems I had with it: 1) Hand sewing came undone again, this time on the belt buckle. It didn’t come all the way off but started slipping. Hand Sewing was starting to come undone on the sleeve. 2) Stepping on the skirt. No wonder women in the olden days didn’t do…

when i was super bored
I was this bored in class today: I’m so excited for Halloween! I’m going to wear Arwen all day, then wear Hermione that night ’cause I’m going to the trunk or treat thing for kids with my aunt. I figure I’ll go for the recognition instead of warmth… ha. I’ll take a pic of me in Hermione, ’cause you’ll really…

Arwen is done, and Lum pic
Hmm… Is it crossplaying when you’re cosplaying as a guy who crossdresses as a girl? Just wondering… On that note, I was rereading Ranma novels the other night… one day I might make an Ukyou costume. Ukyou is cool. Oh yeah Arwen is done. This weekend I am going to finish Sakura, too. Woo! Ooh look a new pic of…
