    Upcoming Costume Ideas…

    Hmm… I’m gonna go out into the woods and take some new pictures of my elf costume this afternoon. Ash and I talked for a long time about our costumes at the basketball game saturday night. I can’t find the stupid piece of paper where I wrote it all down, but Ash is looking at Meryl, pink outfit Ling Xiaoyu,…

    Which Wig for She-ra?

    Does the “Marilyn Blonde” Wig on this page: http://www.vavoom-gifts.com/bettie.html look enough like She-Ra’s hair? I think I’m going to get it, and try to curl it up a little more to give it a little more wave. I don’t want to spend a lot on this wig and the price on this one is much better than the ones I’ve…

    when i couldn’t be Buffy

    Oy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer isn’t anime!; Besides she doesn’t really have a costume, she just wears normal clothes! Go read Priscilla’s epic poem now!! (and yeah, Priscilla, I just got a tablet for christmas!) My head itches. I guess I should get up and go to work. *yawn*

    when i made cosplay plans

    All right, pardon me but I gotta spill a little cosplay talk into Whisky. Not because I want to annoy you, no, it’s because I need your opinion! The costumes I’m planning for next year… er, THIS year are: Rally Vincent (mostly done, will be won when bored at AZ), Misato’s NERV uniform (for MidSouthCon in march) She-Ra (MidSouthcon in…

    Otakon 02 ahoy

    YAY!!!! My aunt had been calling around in Baltimore trying to find a suitable hotel for us to stay at for Otakon. She’d called lots of places, and told me when she found one she was going to go ahead and book the rooms. Yesterday I realised something, I’d forgotten to tell her to make sure it was really close…

    Upcoming Convention Schedule

    happy new year! Hmmm… so far… MidSouthCon: She-Ra and Misato Animazement: Lulu, Xianhua, and Faye Otakon: Urd That’s all I’ve got. I want at least one more costume for Otakon. I’d like to have 3 new ones for Otakon, but if I only have time for 2, that’s cool. I’m going to take Utena with me Otakon, and Ruby Moon…

    Planning out Urd…

    Well, I showed the Urd costume to mom. She didn’t flip, thank god. She suggested using flesh coloured material to cover that part, but I don’t want to do that. I thought maybe one strip of flesh coloured underneath my chest and then spirit gum the rest, maybe… I don’t know. I have a long time to think about it.…

    Urd & She-Ra updates

    Not much happening lately. I finally found a full length picture of Urd’s movie costume, the purple one. I’m gonna be doing that for Otakon, if mom doesn’t have a conniption when she sees it. I’m scared to show it to her! Hopefully Cath can go with us, and figure out some way to make a Belldandy costume. Maybe she…

    when mom ran my table

    MTAC pictures!! (again!!) I just thought these two were funny. First off… (missing photo) me working on the Morrigan/Lilith pic I never got a picture of, and second… My mom and Ash’s mom sitting at my art table… probably while Ash and I went and changed clothes. I posted some more about the other pics there at Lazy Eternity Blog.…

    Makeup

    Makeup and me do not mix. I can’t stand wearing it! The only time I ever wear it is when I’m in costume. And then I have no idea what to do with it. No one ever taught me what to do with it… that’s why I wanted my mom with me at MTAC. Well Mom took advantage of the…

    Elf cloak updates

    I got the fabric for my cloak today. I knew I wanted velvet, like the Rivendell elves, but the green velvet I first chose was too expensive (even on sale… I needed 5 yards, and it was $10 a yard). So I got a deep, deep green, almost dark grey – I think it’s perfect. Mom insists it’s not green…

    when somebody thought I worked at the fabric store

    So we stopped by Hancock’s this morning before going to my grandmother’s, because mom needed another Santa I guess. I went over to the pattern books and was looking for a cloak pattern, just to see how much fabric they recommended for it. I was going back and forth between the books and the pattern drawers, because I kept forgetting…

    Upcoming Cons & Costumes!

    I’m fixing to add a few things to the bottom of this page, so I thought I’d talk about the cons for next year. I really don’t know how people manage to go to so many throughout the year! Cath, Ash and I are all planning on going to MidSouthCon in March. We’re pretty sure we’re going to go to…

    when edea was too difficult

    this is the costume I’ve been wanting to do for 2 years now. That’s Sorceress Edea, for those who don’t know. But I run into several difficulties in getting it done… let me list them. #1 Not enough time. This costume is just so indepth. The dress isn’t all that complex, but the headdress and the back frame thingie! Not…

    LOTR Opening Costume?

    I’m trying to figure out what to wear to the LOTR opening. I’m thinking of reusing my Hogwarts robe pattern and make a nicer robe of a different colour and just wearing that and my elf ears… oh I dunno. I refuse to wear a dress. Hrm any suggestions?

    when i got sims hot date

    Well work today was really boring, but it wasn’t so bad cause I was working at my aunt’s office today. Still, it was very long and boring. I got off at 3:30 and went to Hancock’s, cause I lost my Milly tie (which I was going to use as my Hogwarts tie), and I needed to buy some more fabric…
