The photoshoot Saturday went pretty good! We managed to get through all 8, but I almost stopped after 6. I was exhausted.

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.

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…

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…

Dad needs to be Qui-Gon
I think that in my off time in between MTAC and Comic Con (which is to say, in between April and July), I’m going to make my dad a Qui-Gon Jinn costume. He rented a jedi costume back for Halloween 2000 and made a good Qui-Gon, so I know he wouldn’t mind doing it again. That way whenever I need…
