Make a Wish Troop & Padme Pics!
WOW!! The Make-a-Wish event in Clarksville yesterday was awesome! The event was supposed to be from 1-3, we ended up staying until 4 because there were SO many people there, still waiting in line to get pictures with us! I couldn’t believe how many people showed up — we raised almost $1400! I didn’t take many pictures, but here they…

Timothy Zahn Signing Pics! & Leia updates
Well, I Istill/i haven’t worked on anything lately. I did get my ceremonial Leia skirt pieces out and washed them, since it had gotten something on it while laying around in the sewing room (who knows what, probably paint or something. It came off). Mum agreed tonight to look at it with me and help me figure out where I…

Ice Cream Social Pics!
Last night was fun! Cold Stone Creamery’s Ice Cream Social for Make a Wish. It was a little cold though – I’m going to have to start digging out stuff I can wear under Leia for the Christmas parades. At least I can layer underneath that dress! LOL One lady there with her kids told me they had just bought…

WSMI at COSI 2006 Pics!
Since I did the Wonderfest post over at my other journal, I’ll do the COSI one here! A strange crew on the falcon… Friday! Ash and I left Chase’s apt and took a cab to the airport. The cab showed up 20 minutes earlier than it was supposed to, so we got to the airport waaaaaaay early. Flight was uneventful,…

a long overdue update
(EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.) As I said in the last quick post, sorry for disappearing the past couple of months! Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I’ve been out of town almost every weekend since…

Free Comic Book Day 2006 Pics!
We trooped Free Comic Book Day in Nashville this past weekend. Here’s a few pics. I wore regular Leia for most of it, which I have no pics of… then I changed into Slave Leia for a bit and got pics with the aliens. Then we went to eat.

We’re back from the Atlanta St Patrick’s Day parade… here’s our pics! It was a lot of fun. Here’s some favs. I wore battle Padme, with an updated top, belt and new shinguards! Chase wore his mando.

when there were no slave leias
No Slave Leias!! For the Ohio exhibit in June, they’ve requested no Slave Leias because there will be kids there. What! Ok, I can understand, I’m just a little disappointed, because that’s one more spot out that I might have gotten.

Man
Aw man. The 501st photoshoot at Dragoncon is set for 2pm! Instead of in the morning! Which means I can’t do it. It’s smack in the middle of the day. I was planning on putting on Mara in the morning for the photoshoot, and then switching to Starfire until the masquerade, since wearing Star requires time to put on/take off…

Revenge of the Sith Event Pics! And Plans
Jupiter isn’t going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it’s about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven’t bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn’t be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there’s no time to worry with Jupiter. 🙁 Oh well – I’ll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking…

CompUSA Troop Pics
Last night SMT did a Star Wars thing for CompUSA – I got a few pictures. If only the truck wasn’t in the background!. That’s no droid! Oh, and here’s one Schmootika took, of me and dad: Me, as Leia, had a shoot out with a stormtrooper. Dad, as Qui-Gon, ambushed the trooper. The guy filming the stuff said he’d…

when i was officially 501st
whee! I’m officially a member of the 501st Legion now. I feel so important! I am reading all my Harry Potter books again. I’ve read all of them except PoA multiple times (not including Order of the Phoenix, because I havent even made it through that one all the way once… I stopped first time I read it). So right…

when we did the big scoop
So what’s up with me, you ask? I did something to my foot last weekend. Every single one of my costumes had uncomfortable shoes (the worst being Hild, Phoenix, and Anna) and it was a LOT of walking. So my feet were still numb by the time I got back. Well my left foot is still bothering me. Mom thinks…
