    Post Animazement 2002!

    Well guys, Animazement was pretty fun. I’ll have my report and pictures up this weekend. I’m really pleased with how my pics came out, this time. I was also very pleased with my costumes! I’ll update our Xiaoyu pages, my lulu page, my misato page, and we got new pics of Ash’s Meryl and Ranma costumes. For Otakon, Ash and…

    Leaving for Animazement 2002

    Yep, tomorrow at this time I’ll be at Animazement 😀 I know this should go in my cosplay journal, but OH WELL! Xiaoyu… I’m pretty satisfied with Xiaoyu. I’ll probably wear it most of the day friday, with Ash in her 1P Xiaoyu costume. Speaking of which, I painted the design on the back of Ash’s Xiaoyu costume, and I’m…

    Misato and Xiaoyu updates

    Ok, just a quick rundown here before I leave to go get ready for Star Wars… Got Misato’s shirt made. I had originally bought one, but it turned out it was going to be too long and too bulky (it was a sweaterish type thing). So I made one in like, five seconds. It actually turned out just as good…

    Nervous

    (it’s a nerve inspired rant about Animazement… beware :P) I’m getting really really really nervous and excited. Next week!! It’s next week!! I’ve already started packing. Gathering up costume pieces and putting all my makeup together and setting it inside my big suitcase. I’m taking two suitcases, a big one on loan from my gramma and my regular one… and…

    Misato fabric

    We went to Hancock’s. Got orange and black material for the extra things on Misato’s jacket. And some more lining for her jacket (we didn’t get enough first time). Ash’s Ritsuko wig came in the mail. I fixed up a bit. It’s the cheapest quality wig I’ve ever worked with. But it’s going to work perfectly, I think.

    when i was 12

    Yesterday Ash and her parents came over to hang out. Ash and I decided to go get mcdonald’s and rent a movie instead of going out to eat with the parents, so we did. We rented A.I. (ash’s choice), Rushmore (my choice) and SNK vs Capcom 2 (for kevin… and, well, yeah, me too). I had to pay a late…

    Lulu and other updates

    Ok, so nothing much got worked on yesterday. I’m trying to decide what I want to make my Lulu hairpieces out of. At first I was going to do sculpey… and I made one… and it looks horrible. So now I’m thinking some light foamboard type stuff. Easier to cut, that’s for sure. Ash says she got ALL the fabric…

    when i got ready for star wars

    I tried to come post last night but this thing wouldn’t load. Ash!! If you read this, call me and tell me you’ve read this. I got you a blonde wig. Hopefully it’ll be here soon. Also, Wednesday night… er, Thursday morning, 12:01: Star Wars. Not Muvico! I bought some hair (LOL) to add to my braids so I can…

    when there was a creepy guy

    Oooh my god Dad brought home Molly’s for me last night. I ate waaaaay too much. They give you more food when you order it to-go… I saved some of the cheese dip and had it for breakfast. yum 😀 Got up @ 5:50 am this morning to take Kevin to school. (it takes him bought 20 minutes to get…

    Xiaoyu Almost finished

    Finished Ling Xiaoyu yesterday!!!!!!! YAY! Well, ok, still have to make the ponytail holders, but that’ll take no time. Got Misato’s jacket just about made. We had the sleeves done and one attached… but I thought they were too fitted so we decided to remake them. I’ve spent the last twenty minutes ripping out the seam. I hate doing that.…

    Xiaoyu shoes & Lulu makeup

    Just about finished my Xiaoyu shoes last night. Also made my purple lulu necklace. I went to Mr Lincoln’s day before yesterday and got some face makeup type stuff for Lulu. That lady asked what I was doing and I told her, and she actually knew who I was talking about it! (her son has been playing that game, she…

    Star Wars Midnight Show

    Got a zipper yesterday. Woohoo! I guess I’m dressing up for the Star Wars opening. But *only* if we go to the midnight showing the night before at Muvico. ‘Cause my costume is going to be the same one Cath wore as Leia two years ago – my mom’s old Bride of Frankenstein costume. It’s not exactly accurate. Oh well.…

    when we got mixed up with music fest

    What… a long… weekend. Yesterday morning was actually kinda slow. We went and ate breakfast at this place in Millington, and all I had was toast, since the thought of any other breakfast food made me feel ill. Mom and I worked on my Misato jacket some … and then we went to the play. They did great. It was…

    Shadowcat and Lina boots!

    And now cool boots! Brown Boots, which I thought could be good for any number of things, namely Lina and Eowyn (speaking of which, I’ve decided to hold off on Eowyn until the LOTR opening in Dec. If Cath is coming to Dragon*con, we want to do Urd, Skuld and Belldandy together. Which means a day of wearing Urd again.)…
