    eyelashes are not bugs

    today we have Padme… So the truth is I wear fake eyelashes with most of my costumes. This is for two reasons: the first, I have thin, fine eyelashes that, while they’re actually decently long, they just don’t look like much even with mascara. Everyday wear, mascara is fine, but not for costuming/getting your pic taken, etc. And secondly, I…

    Amidala Senate art

    I only have one more episode 1 outfit to go 🙂 So I’ve changed up my Dragoncon costume plans a bit. I need to update the in-progress page because of it. I’ve dropped two costumes and added one definite, one maybe. The two I dropped are Ame-Comi Black Canary and Batgirl. Batgirl I dropped because #1, the expense – if…

    365 Project – Black Invasion Amidala

    Got up this morning and went to the mall. Then to Target. Then to Best Buy. Then to Hastings (comics!). Then to Lowe’s. Then back home for a few – then to the airport to drop Tom off. Then to Hancock’s (bought Lady Gaga fabric, new thread holder, yay memorial day coupons). Then to Lowe’s (again). Then to… the zoo.…

    Redbirds Troop pics

    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…

    365 Project – Padme Nightgown + Crazy Emails

    Yesterday I got an email from someone who has sent me emails a few times in the past – always just forwarded stuff, nothing important, I assumed this person was someone who had emailed me once ages ago and I’d been saved in their address book, so I get this stuff they forward. Well that person sent me two emails…

    Bruises, Randomness, Art

    Things have been busy. My great-great aunt Louise died earlier this week. She was 95. Her husband, my great-great uncle died in 1964 so I never knew him. The graveside service was interesting. It was pouring rain and we were huddled under a leaking tent, but the minister who spoke was straight out of a movie, an old-fashioned country minister,…

    71 pairs of shoes, 53 wigs

    Did a quick count off the top of my head, and that’s what I came up with. 71 pairs of shoes, 53 wigs. Stupid shoes. Stupid wigs. Having issues with fitting everything right now. Or, rather, finding places for everything. Really it’s not so much MY costumes. All of mine would fit just fine in that closet with no issues.…

    moo cards!

    My mini moo cards came yesterday! They have them in a neat new box. I felt kinda sad having to just tape them to boxes, but I got about 20 extra to hand out at cons – not that I ever handed any of my original 100 out – but hopefully I’ll remember them at dcon this year. I put…

    first, today’s princess, Padme again 🙂 Last night I really dug in and got all of the costumes I have here right now into boxes. It’s a mess! But it’s mostly done.
