New Photos: Donna, Emma, Jane, etc
I’m sorry I still haven’t finished the site! It took longer than I expected to move my content over (which is done!), so I still have finished it, looks-wise. I do have some updates – all of my Dragoncon costumes are up of course, and I have new photos for Jane, Mara Jade as Arica, Donna Noble, Ms Marvel, Lady…

2010 wrap-up, 2011 plans
So at the end of 2009, this is what I said I wanted to accomplish this year: 1. Bespin Leia – still not a thing done 🙂 dang it. 2. Belle’s Ballgown – same. 🙂 dang it. 3. Batgirl – nope. dropped it due to $$. 4. Belle’s Christmas Dress – nope. just never got to it. 5. Ame-Comi Black…

GMX 2010 pics!
I only have a few pics up so far, but here’s a few fun ones. Kevin as Superboy: I used that black Halloween hairspray stuff on his hair. It was nasty. I used up the whole bottle spraying his head, and it first it looked good, but after an hour or so it started to turn grey-ish blue. Then I…

Leia & Arica pics
When I wore Mara Jade as Arica at GMX sat, I had Chase take a few pics of me to match some of my fav slave Leia pics from a few years ago… I’ll post some more pics and a small write up later 🙂

A few Dragoncon 2010 pics!
Sorry I haven’t posted lately. Been busy doing nothing! Except uploading pics, and cleaning the house, etc. Indy had another ear hematoma, like she did last year. Except in the other ear this time. Took her to the vet saturday and he drained it and she’s on steriods now. Makes me sad because now both ears are going to be…

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…

Arica and Black Widow progress
I’m finally putting together my Gaga skirt. Almost done. Took a break for a little lunch (cheese toast, haven’t had time for the grocery in a while so it’s all we had!). Last night I started feeling icky in the middle of putting the zipper in my gaga suit, so I finished that off and sat in the living room…

4 days later… Arica nearly finished
I have a costume. Well, almost. I 95% have a costume. I’m really pleased with how quickly it came together. It has a couple of issues, the zipper is kinda funky and I should have gotten black instead of nude, but ah well. I need to move the snaps on the skirt in a little – it’s a little too…

state of affairs: Dcon2010 costumes
A little update on, well, everything. Lady Gaga: Haven’t touched it, needing more fabric. I did get my shoes. I need to order fabric for the bodysuit, and also my wigs. This one still has the most work left on it. I’d say it’s at 20% Black Widow: Got my wig, wristbands are nearly done, need to put my belt…

Arica Progress Pics
last night’s viewing: mst3k Monster a-go-go I got the sleeves cut out and hemmed, the skirts cut out and finished, except for attaching them together at the sides. Tonight will be working on the design on the front. I’m hoping I can get it pretty finished tonight.

Arica progress pic
last night’s viewing: mst3k: crash of the moons I cleaned my office, then started cutting out pieces for MJ. Got the bodysuit cut out but not sewn together – I want to sew the front design on before I sew the pieces together. Started cutting pieces out of my blue fabric – cut the front skirt, anyway. Made a mockup…

various costume updates
Yesterday’s viewings: All MST3ks: Jack Frost (again), The Beast of Yucca Flats and half of Lost Continent. (also some random stuff on tv while doing some hand-sewing in the living room). The bodice of Surprise #2 is finished! Well, except for embellishments. Made the skirt, got it attached, made the sleeves, got the embellishments on them finished. They’re a little…

Arica and Supergirl progress
last night’s movie of choice: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind I started out with dyeing my Mara Jade/Arica netting – I couldn’t quite get it dark enough with either dye, though. So now it’s dry and I’m considering what step to take next. I need to order my skintone fabric soon – I’ve tried looking locally and can’t find…

Photoshoot: Anne Boleyn, Wonder Woman, etc
I’m a pic posting machine! That’s the last of them, though. Four sets of photos is a lot to upload when the uploader on flickr doesn’t work right for me! I’ve still got Huntsville pics and our cruise pics to upload soon. I’m not going to rush, though – I’ve got a lot of sewing to do. Which brings me…

costume catch up
So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn’t really go over it. I thought I’d post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I’ve got the top basically made. I’ve got the organza cut to cover it, but haven’t put it on yet – I’m worried I might run out since I’m using the same organza…
