i waited…
…until I had more content to post this week, thus why I didn’t post Monday. Monday would’ve just been a whole bunch of gifs I made on the reface app. LOL. I did not do much sewing the past week. I guess I did so much last weekend that I took a break LOL. How often do I get to…

Old pics, part 1
I’ve been uploading some old costume pics from my external hard drive, just as a back-up, mostly. Some of them I haven’t seen in YEARS. Heres a handful of ones I found funny or interesting; I’ll just post a few now and some more later. This one cracks me UP because Kevin is passed out asleep behind me. This was…

A-Kon 2004 Pics!
I’m actually not too worn out from Akon!! HP3= liked it. I thought I’d fall asleep in it, but I didn’t! I did my 2 panels on friday, and they both went well. I wore all my costumes and even spent time OUT of costume. I actually ate well. I met some really cool people in the bar of the…

Tedium… Hild updates
Man, making these strap things for the front of Hild is freaking TEDIOUS! Ugh! I finished painting all the round things, got the foam pieces cut out for the ankle/wrist pieces, finished the (2nd) headpiece. I remade part of my Lina wristbands and fixed the necklace. I can’t find my other belt for her, though… I’m guess I’m going to…

COOL! Dad just found this cool fake dagger he made for when he played Lancelot in Camelot!! He said I can use it with my Lina costume!! Woo!!! XD yep, leaving for MTAC soon as Ash gets here.

Lina finished
Lina is all finished now except the two bracelets, the middle jewel, and the armour. Urd still needs the black bit at the top attached, and the tops of the gloves made, and… geez, Urd still has a bit to go. I’m starting the have the otakon-nervous dreams… last night I had about three different ones. I’m taking soo many…

Lum & Lina Inverse updates
Got fabric for Lum and blue fabric for Lina yesterday. Decided not to use the shirt I originally got for it, and to make it. That’s about it… Ash got her fabric for Skuld, and gloves and such. I also got her a wig for skuld. We originally weren’t going to do that, but I found a good one for…

Wig mania!
‘m swimming in wigs!!!! AHH!! I got my Lina wig. I’m in love with this wig, it’s so beautiful!! I put it on and took some Asuka pics this afternoon. It’s definitely the nicest wig I’ve ever owned. Also got Urd wig #2. Or 3, however you’re counting. We’ll go with 1 and 2 for now. Urd wig #1 is…

Lina gloves, and Urd updates
I dyed my Lina gloves!!! They turned out good, I’m so happy XD It’s so easy! Now I’m ready for Ash’s Yuna sleeves! Dad and I went and got chicken wire and wallpaper paste and a bucket for making paper mache paste. I’m worried about doing this, I’ve got so little experience. Today got my Urd pattern cut out and…

when i went hunting for lina pants
Mom and I went downtown today to go to Hot Topic. It was the only place I could think of in Memphis that might have red vinyl pants (for my lina costume). An hour’s drive, a whole lot of traffic and two dollar parking for a “might have.” We got there and I didn’t see any. Dude working there came…

Lina & Urd wigs
I just bought my Lina wig. whew. It’s now the most expensive wig I own. I wanted something that would look more natural than just a regular straight style wig. I bought it from the same people I got my She-Ra wig from. It’s layered and really nice looking. It’s a little darker than I really wanted, but… it’s just…

Lina & Urd stuff
Went to the fabric store today!! I got black fabric for Lina’s cape, and purple to line it with. Also got off-white fabric for the white bits of her costume. Got a *perfect* pattern for Urd. It’s great. And black fabric, sort of suede like for the black pieces of her costume. And yellow ribbon for the yellow bits. I…

Shadowcat and Lina boots!
And now cool boots! Brown Boots, which I thought could be good for any number of things, namely Lina and Eowyn (speaking of which, I’ve decided to hold off on Eowyn until the LOTR opening in Dec. If Cath is coming to Dragon*con, we want to do Urd, Skuld and Belldandy together. Which means a day of wearing Urd again.)…

Buying stuff
I got a bunch of stuff lately! Got a Misato necklace off ebay. It’ll look much better than if I try to make it. I love it already (there’s a pic in my livejournal of me wearing it w/my misato wig) Got a grey pleated skirt for Hermione. took a few pics today – they weren’t very good, I needed…

Upcoming Costume Ideas…
Hmm… I’m gonna go out into the woods and take some new pictures of my elf costume this afternoon. Ash and I talked for a long time about our costumes at the basketball game saturday night. I can’t find the stupid piece of paper where I wrote it all down, but Ash is looking at Meryl, pink outfit Ling Xiaoyu,…

when i made cosplay plans
All right, pardon me but I gotta spill a little cosplay talk into Whisky. Not because I want to annoy you, no, it’s because I need your opinion! The costumes I’m planning for next year… er, THIS year are: Rally Vincent (mostly done, will be won when bored at AZ), Misato’s NERV uniform (for MidSouthCon in march) She-Ra (MidSouthcon in…

when i was mad at the mtac hotel
Well, until I finish my report (can’t now, mom’s on the computer I started writing it on), I’ll just say a few things. I hate the Claritin (Clarion). MTAC staff & everybody at the con were friendly, nice and made the whole thing worth it. They rock. I still can’t believe I won a prize in the cosplay! What did…

when I made a cosplay survey
I hate having wet hair! Now I remember what I was going to do. I was going to comment on the poll so far. 1. Edea. I’m most likely going to do this for midsouthcon in march. I’ve always wanted to go as her, and I do NOT want to try to transport her big metal shoulder thing to an…
