Dyeing my Padme Lake dress, updates
UGH! We did the first dying on Amidala yesterday and it turned out too bright. It looks like a banana snowcone. I’m going to have to use some colour remover on it. Cut out the pattern pieces for Shadowcat’s shirt. Finished Ocha’s boot covers and figured out her tail. To do list: Amidala: -Finishing dying -sew arm rings in -finish…

when the moms wanted to go to dragoncon
Last night Ash’s parents came over to go out with my parents to eat. I was looking through the dragoncon schedules I’d printed out so I showed it to them. They see a lot of stuff they’d like to have seen, and mom’s like, asking me to go to these Anne McCaffrey or whatever panels. I’m like, there’s no time!…

Ocha progress
Whoo hoo finished Ocha’s ears! Also got started on her jacket vest thingie. But that’s all we did last night. I wasn’t feeling too great.

when i went down a rabbit hole
Weird thing… have had the name Ralph Bakshi stuck in my head the past few days. Probably just stuck in there after looking up info on Mighty Mouse for dad. I just ended up going down a rabbit hole about various Ralph Bakshi projects… looked at the IMDB entry for his version of LOTR and turns out the script was…

LOL Comic Con
Cath called me last night, upset with me ’cause I didn’t tell her about this convention that she wanted to go to. LOL! San Diego Comic Con. I was like, Cath, we couldn’t’ve all of a sudden pick up and flew to San Diego Comic Con, especially with Dragoncon right around the corner. Anyway, got most of the Ocha ears…

when i made ash pick costumes for dragoncon
HEY ASH!! I don’t like you being in school, cause I can’t call you when I think of something during the day. Bring your old purple robe to Dragoncon, and Yuna, and Meryl. Along with Han Solo if you get it done, and whatever you can scrape up of Jubilee. (if you want, just go with the black (or pink)…

Padme & Ocha updates
Got the fall thingie. Wasn’t too expensive, thank god. Had to drive all over creation to get it. Looks good, tho. Tomorrow I am going to get the ribbon and we’re going to figure out how to do the hair this weekend what else– Am working on ocha boots, ears, amidala necklace and amidala dress tonight. If we have time…

Padme Lake dress updates
Finished most of the work on Amidala last night, except for the dying and the hair thing. Got the necklace finished, and most of the white dress. Just a few little things left to do to it. Today I have to meet mom at the wig shop after I get off work – she wants to help me find a…

when anime expo was a reality
After Animazement Ash and I started joking around about skipping all conventions next year and putting all our money towards going to Anime Expo (which is the big ole’ convention in California) I wasn’t serious about it – I mean, I’d LOVE to go, but I rather go to a handful of small conventions over the course of a few…

Dragoncon parade?
Ash and I are thinking of participating in this parade Dragoncon is having. We think it would be fun. Only thing is, I canNOT figure out what to wear. Shadowcat would be too hot probably, and the heat would probably make my hair fall. Ocha – no. Just NO. My two main choices are either She-Ra or Amidala. She-Ra would…

Pre Dragoncon rush
Finished most of the work on Ocha’s white dress today. Still got to attach the collar and the sleeves. And maybe take up the sides a little bit. Also finished her tail (it’s neat!), and redid part of her wig last night (one curl was kinda funky), and discovered I could use the sewing machine on the vinyl I got…

when i watched he-man
AH! Hah I almost forgot! I managed to catch the last ten minutes of He-Man on cartoon network this afternoon. I had forgotten but was switching around and there it was. One thing I like – Adam doesn’t look exactly like He-Man, only wearing tights and a pink shirt. I had also forgotten – day before yesterday went to Target…

More MTAC pics – here! (edit: link was an old geocities link and now dead, so I removed it.) Ones of me as Lina and Urd (best pic of Urd yet, because I fixed the wig!) and Ash as Yuna x 2 again. I forgot to mention, that of all the people at Otakon that *didn’t* step on my Lina…

Shadowcat, Padme and Ocha updates
MTAC was fun! 😀 I took five rolls of film (only used 3 at otakon…!) Actually……….. DAD took 5 rolls of film, mostly ’cause I told him to take pictures of everyone in the costume contest.
