Dragoncon Stories: That Time David Carradine Fell Through a Wormhole
So, Ash and I did the masquerade again that year, and it was again over at the Congress Center or whatever it was called. So we got dressed, loaded up and went on over. We ended up sitting around in a hall backstage for quite a long time. There we are in the background entertaining ourselves: We got there so…

Dragoncon Stories: That Time I Made Poor Shoe Choices
Dragoncon 2004 parade – we decided to walk with the LOTR group! This worked out since I had Arwen I wanted to wear, the mums had their hobbit costumes, and Ash got talked into wearing a cape and accompanying me to handle my train. My Arwen costume was very long and very white, so to keep it from getting destroyed…

when we had a great dcon
we’re home from dragoncon. I’ll post more tomorrow – or wednesday. next couple of days will be tough, not only getting over con tiredness, but some other stuff that’s going on.

Lessa, hermione, Ozma and Padme updates
Lessa – done, except the shoulder braid, which I will either do tonight or on the plane tomorrow. Won’t take but about another 10 minutes to do. I wore it on a test-run last week – it’s almost unbearably hot, but I like how it looks. We’ll see at dragoncon. Hermione – done. will need to be pressed again when…

Updates & Dcon 04 Schedule
Man the last few days have been hectic beyond belief! I’ve finished Ozma, Lessa and Hermione. I’ve made 2 sets of hobbit feet and painted two sets of hobbit ears and put in countless grommets (but that’s ok because I love putting in grommets!) Padme and Ash’s masquerade costume are the only things left. For Padme, the headpiece is nearly…

when the bugs attacked
I forgot to mention this is my costume journal! On saturday, dad was helping us with some costume stuff in the kitchen when all of a sudden he gave a shout and pulled his t-shirt off! He said something was biting him. I looked over and saw the culprit still hanging onto his shirt. It had bitten/stung him in 3…

when i couldn’t concentrate because dcon
Two commercials I absolutely hate: Revlon commercial with that ‘i believe in love’ song. I hate that commercial, mostly because that song makes me want to rip my ears off… a Some jeans commercial. I don’t know what it’s for. Maybe for a department store sale or something, but it’s this woman walking down a hall to a version of…

Ozma, Hermione and other Progress Pics!
Pictures! my “secret” masquerade costume is ozma, which anybody who has been around my site or my cosplaylab profile would know I’ve been planning on doing for a long time. Ash and I decided we wanted to keep it under wraps until dragoncon though, so I’ve stopped mentioning what it is. Anyway, I started on it back before akon but…

when i was worried about our dcon room
I have been very worried about paying for the Dragoncon hotel room. Comic Con was really hard to pay for, and only having 2 paychecks between the two cons I knew was going to be hard. So I’ve been thinking and plotting trying to figure out how to get enough money back on my Mastercard in time for DC, so…

Furry
Indy likes the fur I bought for Lessa. She loves it so much I’m going to have to buy her her own to sleep on, lol.

Hermione, Lessa, Ozma, and Padme progress
quick trip to hancock’s today, and I got my dark red lining for my PoA cloak, some green ribbon, and some really awesome wolf-looking fur for the lining of my Lessa costume. I don’t want to cut it up! I want to use it as a blanket x_x It’s so snuggly!! So, dragoncon to-do list… Masq Costume: 75% Main dress…

when i had no point
Ugh. I have been trying to get stuff ready for this thing I’m doing week after next… it’s time consuming and tiresome… on top of trying to get ready for Dragoncon. AUGH. Don’t even mention to me the fact that school starts back 2 days before Dragoncon. That’s not even on my radar, and it won’t be until September 7…

Lessa fabric
Back at easter when I was here at my grandmother’s, I found a bolt of brown vinyl that I wanted for my Lessa costume. I didn’t get it because I figured if they had it at Hancock in Jackson, they’d have it in Memphis too. Well they didn’t, nothing even close. So since I was up here in Jackson this…
