Finding Tobey, more pics
Another busy weekend!! Friday night we had the Indie Memphis red carpet event! So Thursday night I washed my hair and put it up in curlers. Got up the next morning and it was rainy and humid and I knew if I took them down before work, my curls would be GONE by that night. So I left my curlers…

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…

Dcon 2014: Dr Forrester
I wore this both Thursday night – to take advantage of my crazy hair from Marie Antoinette – and Saturday afternoon (only for a few minutes). I’ve got a few more pics of Dr F coming soon from Chase. I didn’t wear it terribly long on Thursday because Tom made my arm pretty sore LOL And I threw it on…

GMX 2013
Well it’s a week later, I guess I should finally post about GMX, huh? We drove up after work on Friday! We got in later than we expected but we got into the room fast, and I threw on Trillian and we hung out downstairs, and went to the Favor panel! Kevin in the Falcon cockpit! Kevin was doing the…

Reworking Dr Forrester
I pulled Dr Forrester out today to rework it for GMX. This was it originally, last year for Halloween: I just made it very quickly and straight off the pattern, so it was too big. Which was fine for something fun and comfortable for work, but I wanted to rework parts of it to wear to a con. I added…

Apologies
Sorry I haven’t posted much lately. There’s not really a lot to talk about. It’s the normal post-Dragoncon lull. Besides that work has been stressful so I’ve been spending a lot of time just trying to relax and falling asleep early every night. My sewing room is a disaster. Even though I put all my Dragoncon costumes away the weekend…

Halloween 2012
I hope everyone had a very fun & happy halloween this year! Ours was rather low-key. At work, my team decided to be Mad Scientists, so I threw together a last-minute Dr. Forrester costume. Kevin was our creature! He stayed in character all day, too. We stayed home last night to hand out candy, and sadly did not have near…
