Hermione and Rally pics
gads I’m tired!! I’ll explain why later. Right now, gaze upon the glory of my Rally Vincent wig. Ok, so maybe it’s not quite glorious, but I’m pleased with it! Also took new Hermione pics the other day. (ok so that’s not crookshanks, it’s mrs norris… but close enough!) There were also a couple of nice outside ones – it…

Rally Vincent wig finished
Mum and I worked on Xiaoyu some more today. We got the stripes put up the sides and around the bottoms. That’s about it, and that took most of the day :\ BUT………. I finally finished my Rally Vincent wig!!! Ok, so not completely finished — I need to trim the back some more, it’s a bit too long. But…

when i had con dreams
Last night I woke up at 4 AM. I don’t know why. I was kinda freaked out. I was sleeping in the living room, cause my cousin is over this week and he was in my room. So I got up and made my cousin switch places with me. It still took me an hour to fall asleep after that,…

Xiaoyu progress
Put the yellow trim on the shorts yesterday, and I cut out all the little decorative thingies and the thing on the back out of newspaper (for Xiaoyu, of course). Today I’ll cut the decorative things out of the yellow fabric and go ahead and sew them on. Once that’s done, all I need to do is the cuffs and…

Hotels
We found a hotel in Nashville…. we’re going to stay there Thursday night and then get up there and catch our 6AM flight to Durham for Animazement. That way we won’t have to drive all night and then be dragging all day friday. Ash is considering going to Dragoncon with us. Plus, if she goes to Dragoncon, it cuts down…

when i did a bunch of stuff
Well… I know I haven’t been about much lately, esp at the BBS. I’ve got a couple of things to go over here, I’ll just do it day-by-day. Friday- Went to the movies w/bunch of people. Wasn’t sure what we were going to see, I was just along for the ride. Half to see The Rookie, while my cousin and…

Lulu wig
My friend Kristie took my black Lulu wig to her hairdresser today to see what he could do about it. He said that it would take most of the hair to just do the bangs, and that the back was too thin. I already knew that… I mean, I knew the back was too thin. He suggested using my own…

Buying stuff
I got a bunch of stuff lately! Got a Misato necklace off ebay. It’ll look much better than if I try to make it. I love it already (there’s a pic in my livejournal of me wearing it w/my misato wig) Got a grey pleated skirt for Hermione. took a few pics today – they weren’t very good, I needed…

Ocha postponed
I think I may hold off on Ocha until DragonCon, and go ahead and do Faye for Otakon. Reason for this is, I was planning on wearing Ocha on Sunday at Otakon. That way if the green face makeup stains my skin, it wouldn’t affect other costumes *g* But, we’re going to have leave the hotel at like, 10AM to…

Lulu & Xiaoyu fabric
Got some black velvet for Lulu’a top, but it’s not like, really velvet. Closer to suede. Looks nice with the grey I’ve got. Which reminds me, found huge bolt of the suede I got for the Lulu skirt and sleeves on the remnant table for 50% off. GAAAHH. Oh well, I didn’t spend that much on it in the first…

Mom’s back from DC. She brought me back a monkey 😀 Think I’ll name it Chico. Sorry to spill a little cosplay talk over here, but… deal! I’ve been looking through all the Eowyn pics I’ve collected so far, and I’m really pleased… my She-Ra wig will work for it, too! Yay! In the handful of actual movie shots I’ve…

Lulu Belt hunting
Went to the salvation army yesterday in search of belts. Dad and I ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. They had all these bins of old record albums for $2 each. They weren’t in any kind of order so we just sat around going through them looking for interesting things. Dad ended up buying a Three Dog Night album.…

Recent Events: * Made an A on the research paper. Was expecting a C. * Wore skate shoes to school. A skate popped out while I was walking up the stairs. Didn’t fall, but my teacher found it funny. * Went to eat with dad last night, since mom is out of town. I love molly’s. * Talked to Cath…

Sorry for the lack of postings lately. Nothing much has been going on. I’m going to go belt hunting this weekend for Lulu. Wish me luck. OH! Oh! There’s an excellent chance I’m going to Dragoncon now, with Cath. Yay 🙂 I’m trying to think of a costume to do for it (only one, I’ll rewear other stuff. I’m doing…

Dragoncon suggestions
There’s a good chance I’m going to DragonCon this year. It was sort of a sudden decision between Cath and I… she can’t go with us to either Animazement or Otakon, so I brought up dragoncon… it looks *really* cool, with a lot of really neat guests and events. I was thinking of costumes… right now I’m working on Xiaoyu…

Errr what? april fool’s already? damn. I don’t have anything planned, sorry. Go about your business. I’m trying to get Catherine to go to Dragoncon with me. I’ve always wanted to go to that, it seems so cool. I wish she would.

when i was she-ra
I’ve been so forgetful all day. I mean, more than usual. Con Report up at the bbs! Con was boring. We were only there for an hour, we missed everything we wanted to do. Costume was fun 😀 I already posted some pics at my LJ but I want to post them here too.
