Dressform Pics
Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

Supergirl and Batgirl
We took some Supergirl photos back in February but I’m just now getting around to posting them. I’ve added a couple to my Supergirl page, here’s the rest on smugmug: I also got my Batgirl mask today! Planning on having it done for Dragoncon; I haven’t done anything else on it yet!

Dragoncon 2011 Costume Recap
First up, Supergirl. My plan was to wear Supergirl all Thursday night; I ended up wearing it for about 20 minutes because I wanted to put on Donna. So now that Supergirl was out of the way (LOL) I wore Donna the rest of the night – there were so many Doctor Who people around and with K9 out, it…

2010 wrap-up, 2011 plans

More GMX 2010 pics, and Briar Rose progress
So here’s my Ame-Comi Supergirl with the new wig: And here’s one of me and Kevin: It was freaking COLD in the hotel so I didn’t stay in it long. I was freezing to death! I put on Wonder Girl after that, and ended up wearing my hoodie over it most of the time. Here’s Wonder Girl: Me with the…

the Supergirl wig curse
I feel like I was cursed when it came to wigs this summer – and I couldn’t really talk about it since I was keeping Supergirl under wraps. I searched for a long time for the 2 wigs I needed for Gaga and the wig for Supergirl. The yellow wig was weirdly enough the easiest. I found a blonde wig…

More Dragoncon 2010 pics
More Supergirl pics: Magik: Updated Starfire, with DJSpider’s Blackfire: Donna Troy: And awesome Wonder Woman group shot: And me and George Perez 🙂 I had to tell him I kinda stalked him at cons back when I did my Cartoon Network Starfire and could NEVER find him! So it was awesome to finally get a pic with him in this.

Dcon 2010 costume wrap up
I had a lot of fun at all the photoshoots this year, they were awesome, well organized and fun. However next year I’m not committing myself to ANY photoshoots. I spent all day sunday between the Teen Titans and DC shoots. From 9AM when I got up to when I left DC a little after 4PM. Saturday was the parade/SOSI…

almost there…
Last night, I dreamt about arriving at dragoncon. It was basically just us moving the van and parking the van and trying to figure out if we could check into the hotel or not. That totally stems from us not having any kind of plan for tomorrow. Them moving pre-reg pick-up up to 10 really threw us off. We’ll probably…

Tomorrow’s To-Do list
Tomorrow I’m going to get up and start knocking it out of the park. I’ve got one big thing left to do – finish my Gaga hoops – and everything else is rather small. Lady Gaga: sew one more weft into the wig, curl it sew snaps on bodice to hold hoops in place finish applying sequins to bodysuit apply…

Starfire & Gaga updates
So last night I finished installing the bra in the front of Starfire. I’m really nervous about wearing it. I’m going to be taped to high-heaven, but it’s been a long time I’ve worn something like this and I’m worried. I went ahead and sewed the boots back onto the bodysuit, too – I just need to fix the brooch…

to-do list 8/25/10
I feel much better about things at the moment. I was able to get the waistband and zipper onto the Gaga skirt last night with no issues, and it went onto the cage just fine and I started stitching it in place. I tried it on with the corset and it looks fine (though not so happy with the shape…

Lady Gaga Updates… or something
So my Lady Gaga is not going to be that good. My shoes and bodysuit are going to be rushed and not right – my wig’s not going to be right – and I don’t have enough hoops for the outside. My skirt’s not great, the seams didn’t match up even though I freaking did them all together and pinned…

Supergirl progress pics
I seriously don’t understand why people think it’s fine to repost people’s photos without permission. I’m generally ok with it, but when it’s a personal photo and nobody asked – it’s not cool with me. I’m tired of having to turn my personal photos “friends only” just because people don’t have the common sense to ask. Anyway. Yesterday I finally…

it’s friday: Alyss and Supergirl updates
last night’s viewing: mst3k, Laserblast! I dug around looking for various bits and bobbles but couldn’t find what I was looking for at all. 🙁 I pulled out Surprise #1 again, got the zipper put in and the sleeves finished and on. Now! I’ve got previews of both Surprise #1 and Surprise #2. #1 is on the left, #2 is…

progress… Alyss and Gaga
last night’s viewing: more mst3k – since chase had my computer, couldn’t watch netflix. Mostly did stuff on Surprise #2 – was working on the embellishment on the front. I’m not 100% happy with it but I don’t want to tear it off and re-do it in something else, so I’m just going to have to figure it out. Bought…

Ame-Comi Supergirl progress
last night’s viewing: The rest of the Anne Boleyn segment, half of the Jane Seymour segment. I’m getting too into it; wanting to watch it instead of sew! Last night was all more work on Surprise #2 (Supergirl). I’m going to have to get spandex in a matching colour to my vinyl to finish the shoes, the vinyl won’t curve…

Ame-Comi Supergirl! Progress Pic
last night’s viewing: The Six Wives of Henry VIII. Finished the Katherine of Aragon part, started on Anne Boleyn’s. Finished the other boot for Surprise #2 (Supergirl), and now I want to revisit the first boot because I like the way I did the second boot better. Here’s an update on the bodice and skirt section – time to start…
