    MTAC 2010, Trooping, Photoshoots… etc!

    (This post may seem a little repetitive – this was ported over from my livejournal and recapped a lot of stuff I’d recently posted on my blog. Now that my LJ posts are part of my blog, it’s very redundant!) A recap of recent costume-y stuff… MTAC came and went and we got stranded there an extra day because of…

    WSMI Huntsville Pics!

    Only a month late 🙂 I posted our pics from the opening weekend of the Huntsville Star Wars WSMI exhibit last night. From that I was able to get a few new pics of my ceremonial dress: It’s still not the way I want it; maybe one day eventually they’ll be a version 3, who knows. Anyway, my Donna Troy…

    WSMI Huntsville 2010 Recap

    It’s been over a week since I last posted!! Been busy. Working on getting stuff ready for Huntsville this past weekend! Huntsville was half awesome and half sucky. The sucky: My mom fell in the driveway before we left and sprained her wrist, my dad got some kind of bug bite on his arm that got continually worse throughout the…

    Last night we did Star Wars night at the Memphis Redbirds’ baseball game. It was a lot of fun – more than I expected! We took pics with guests and Darth Vader threw out the opening pitch. We set up right in the middle of the opening area of the park – we posed for about an hour before heading…

    Star Wars in Concert

    It was awesome! When we got to the forum we hadn’t been told where to go, so we spent a while walking back and forth trying to just get in! We got in, I put on Leia (already had my hair up), and helped Ash into her X-Wing pilot and Chase into his Vader. We had an hour to stay…

    Snow White + Graveyard Party pics

    I ran out of time because I ended up having to be at my aunt’s house an hour earlier for Trunk or Treat than I expected… I didn’t get a chance to make attach my bows or put the snaps on the upper part of the cape to keep it in place… but all nitpicky, I’m really happy with it.…

    Snow White updates, SW Family Fun Day Pics

    I’ve been working on my Snow White costume for next weekend… it’s coming along.

I’m hoping to finish…

    My cousin is the head of a summer camp and has for the couple of years had me come out for one of their theme weeks in costume (last year did Wonder Woman for Superhero week and Belle (and Stitch) for Princess week). This year she had Star Wars week, so last week I went up as Leia to talk…

    I know I haven’t actually updated on any sewing for a while – but that’s coming very soon I promise 🙂 Chase was asked to take part in this cable trade show for Turner networks in Washington DC, as one of several clonetroopers in their booth. I got to tag along as a handler 🙂 It was nice quick little…

    Hockey Game Star Wars Troop!

    We spent the night at my grandparents friday night to cut an hour off our drive time saturday morning, that was super nice. So Saturday morning we got on up and headed to Nashville. We stopped by the costume store up there and picked up a different kind of bald cap than the kind I’d gotten, it was supposed to…

    TRU toy release pics!

    We spent the entire evening after work trying to finish everything up on Chase’s clone… but we did manage to get out of the house before 11, so I was proud of that! LOL. We pulled up to TRU right after 11 and there were already a few people hanging around outside. The manager let us 501st folks in (we…

    Superhero Summer camp

    Just got back from playing Wonder Woman at a kid’s summer camp! It was fun. They have different themes every week – this week was “Superheroes.” I got off work around 2 and headed up there, got my costume on. They stuck my cousin David in a rented Batman suit – it was HILARIOUS. We answered questions from the kids…

    HSO event pics!

    What a great event! I’m so glad we were able to go. Chase and I got up early Saturday morning and ran some errands and then hit the road to Huntsville around 10:30-ish. We’ve gotten so used to driving to Nashville for events – and the drive to Nashville is insanely boring. 3 hours of nothing but interstate. Huntsville was…

    501st Christmas Parades!

    Friday night, we managed to cram 4 people and 4 costumes into the car and hit the road to Jackson, where my grandparents live. Chase was going to go see a band with my cousin that night there in Jackson, so Ash, Kevin and I curled up in the living room and watched movies. We went to bed pretty early,…
