Below you’ll find my blog posts about my two Princess Leia (Star Wars) ceremonial costumes, the first quick version constructed in 2005 and the second in 2007.

anything can happen on halloween
Another Halloween in the books. Wednesday I picked up Kevin after work – his mom (and my parents!) was on vacation so it worked out for him to come stay with us a few days. Thursday as soon as I was off work started getting him and myself ready for Spooky Science. He wore ceremonial Luke and I wore ceremonial…

may the 1st
It’s dad’s bday today! We went out for dinner Saturday night to a new korean bbq place. It was ok. Not like the one we had in NYC. I don’t have a lot of costume progress to show this week. I’ll chat about it at the end. New pin for the collection! A friend gave us some irises back in…

Dragoncon Part 2!
Ok I was hoping to have this post up last week, but Chase had a lot of trouble exporting the photos and I was only getting them in chunks. I think I’ve got all of them now, or at least, most of them. Might be a few more stragglers. Besides uploading pics, last week was absolutely crazy at work, and…

back to fake life
I started to title this “back to real life” but I realized doing something normal like going to Dragon Con is real life. Going back to the day-to-day of the last year is the fake life. So — Dragon Con was actually pretty great. I had my reservations, as you may have noticed in the last post. But the low…

dragoncon updates
I know I just posted yesterday, it’s dragoncon season, I’ll post as much as I want. I came up with what I think is my finalized line-up. So let’s go through ’em, because I was finally able to order a ton of stuff yesterday and I have a better trajectory than I did in yesterday’s post. 1. Wanda Got my…

2020 wrap-up
I always looking forward to doing my end of the year costume wrap-ups. This year is sad. I really didn’t think a year could get worse than 2019 and that 2020 would be a great year. Instead we got a dumpster fire. I’m angry, sad, depressed. All I want is to get eat pizza in a restaurant. Anyway. I did…

migraine nation
It’s that time of the year… the time when the weather can’t make up it’s mind and leaves me in a migraine/sinus headache hell for weeks on end. I’ve had an off and on migraine since last weekend. A lot of it has been in my neck which makes me wonder if it’s also stress. Or the way I’m sleeping…

haha i like it but not a lot
… i dont like it. So we were holding out hope that things would look better to be able to go to the rescheduled Huntsville con next month. But obviously they are not, things are worse here where we are. So last night we canceled our hotel. Going to see if we can roll our tickets to next year, if…

i put on a spell on you
I’ve got that song stuck in my head and it has no bearing on the contents of today’s post. But then again, do my titles ever actually relate to the post? Sorry for no post last week; since I posted on friday the week before I didn’t have much to share. Now I’m back with a bunch of stuff. Last…

Into the great wide open
I have meant to make a post ALL WEEK but it kept slipping my mind. Last week when I posted I totally forgot to include the photos from the Padme Lake dress shoot! So ever since I kept meaning to come back and post them but here we are… over a week later. But I do actually have more content…

tired
man im so tired. As I think I said last week my motivation to do anything has just evaporated into thin air. I’ve been trying to make myself work on ceremonial Leia without much success. My greatest achievement in the past week is that my Animal Crossing island got to 5 stars. I dunno how because last week I decided…

imagine a world where time has no meaning
because that is the world I am living in. It’s like time stopped in March and there is nothing to delineate the days from each other except some days I have to sit at a work computer in one room and some days I lay on the couch with my switch. Like I go outside and it’s like… how is…

sew what
Oh look another weekly blog post where I have nothing to talk about because I can’t go anywhere and everything is canceled and I have no motivation to do anything. Well actually we did go to Home Depot last week. While there we got paint for the upstairs bathroom so we can finally start redoing it. I was going to…

our watch has ended
Well mine never started because I didn’t even watch last night’s GOT finale. I haven’t really watched much of GOT the last 2-3 seasons? And for this last season I got spoiled so didn’t feel like watching it. Well, I got partially spoiled, then dived on into full spoilers because why not. LOL. But I keep seeing people talk about…

Happy New Year!
Back at work and with my first migraine of 2017… UGH. In fact it was so bad that I typed that first sentence… sat here and stared at it, then just closed the window and saved it as a draft. Couldn’t wrap my head around actually typing out everything it was so bad. Went home for lunch, took some more…

Dolores progress
I got a good bit of work done last night! I started out by first off – fixing my ceremonial Leia belt. I got it out to take a photo last night and discovered one of the button covers on the conchos had popped off and nowhere was to be found. First time that’s ever happened with any of my…

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…

FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Hairstyles – Ceremonial Leia Bun
Today I’m posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays – the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. I apologize for being repetitious, but since these 3 tutorials share a common base, I’ll just be copying some of the same directions and photos…

MidSouthCon!
Friday I ended up staying home from work with an awful migraine that was making me sick to my stomach – I don’t think the remnants of my head cold helped, either. Friday night I felt awful. So I was worried about Saturday! I had a friend’s baby shower to go to in the morning, and Chase’s birthday dinner that…
