    when somebody remarked on my bossoms

    HAHA, omg, I love elfwood sometimes. “I think that if you draw your bossoms it would make better art. i think that you are lovely and I do mean it” BOSSOMS!!!!! Not bosoms. BOSSOMS! HAHAHAHA!! Who the hell even uses the word bosom anymore, besides 90 year old ladies?! OMG I can’t breathe for laughing. I had a thought last…

    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…

    when our luggage got lost

    Well, today already has a really long story. I will make it as short as possible. We get to the airport and check in. We board our flight. The airplane has a glitch. Everybody deplanes. I run back down to the ticket counter, where I stand for 20 minutes, but manage to get us a different flight, with a different…

    when i didn’t want to be rude

    So I’m part of this group, right? (It’s for a con next year… celebration-related) Well, I was asked to be one of the ‘main’ characters for the photoshoot. I thought this would be really cool. The group accepted doubles of all characters, and there were going to be other versions of the same character I was going as in our…

    Experiments on Dyeing

    So last year – probably nearly or even more than a year ago – I got this skirt and I wanted to dye it blue. I don’t even remember what it was for. I may have just been messing around. Who knows. Well, I tried it in the sink, but the fabric didn’t take to the dye very well. So…

    when i was kawaii

    I had a convention dream last night for the first time in ages… got to katsucon on thursday, spent the night, and in the morning got up to put on tohru and it wasn’t finished. I was so upset I was shaking! I don’t know what brought that on. I haven’t had con dreams like that in a long time,…

    when i wanted to show off all my shoes

    omg, I just got a message from an italian foot fetishist who wants me take pics of my barefeet and send them to him! lmao!!! For anybody who has read The Princess Diaries I’m reminded of Lily’s stalker… remember, she wanted to devoted an entire episode of her public access show to modelling every one of her shoes, but never…

    when i hated biters

    Sometimes I think the people on cosplaylab just randomly chose a time on the “Amount of time spent on this costume” section. 40-60 hours on super simple costume? Wow OK! And while I’m ranting, this person on a board I occasionally post at started posting in this one thread, linking to the artwork of the arwen wedding dress I’m making…

I organized everything… all the things that could be hung are hanging on the new bar dad and I installed. All the accessories and things are in the 3…

    when i was suspicious

    Mom is putting together this little photo album with pics of all my costumes in it, so she can show them to people. God. I guess it’s kind of a neat idea… you know, when I’m old and grey I can pull that photo album out and think, “… gosh, I was SUCH a loser.” I find it fishy that…

    when i was going to draw us

    OH! I forgot. I want to re-do mine, ash’s and cath’s pictures for lazy eternity, so I was going to draw each of us as a character. I was thinking either… Stick with powerpuff girls… me as blossom, ash as buttercup and cath as bubbles. LOTR girls… don’t know who would be who yet, but arwen, eowyn and galadriel. Hogwarts…

    when i needed business cards

    Ok, question: Which of my pics do you think I should put on my business card? This question is the reason I didn’t have a business card for MTAC 2 1/2. Or for Animazement 02. Or for Otakon. Or for Dragoncon. Or for MTAC Pi. I just can’t friggin make up my mind.
