John Williams Tribute!
This weekend we got to do a really fun event – the Memphis Symphony Orchestra was doing a John Williams tribute and invited us out for it. Friday night we went up to the rehearsal to get an idea of what they wanted us to do. For each Star wars song they wanted a related character or characters onstage. For…

Trip Photos – Round 2
So I wrote the whole trip report out yesterday but of course I only had iphone photos. Today I have our photopass and Chase’s pics uploaded! So here’s a few. Kevin hadn’t met Mr and Mrs Easter Bunny, and we were able to pretty much walk right up and get a photo with them the first day. Honestly I probably…

Disney Trip w/Kevin – Part 2, plus Megacon!
Saturday morning I was up and getting in costume, while Chase got Kevin into his Luke costume. Thankfully, Edith was easy to get into. Like I (think I) mentioned the other day, I decided to forego the wound prosthetics, which made getting ready much faster. We got to the convention center early, and….. parked in the wrong parking lot. We…

Some non-edith stuff
I have not felt like working on Edith at all, but on Tuesday I had a major freak out when I realized it was only 3 weeks til we leave for the con. AHHH! So much left to do!! So I started jumping into the other stuff I needed to make for the trip, but that would be quicker. Last…

New old pictures
So I’m still doing my little project of going back through old pictures and uploading new versions. I thought I’d share some of the more interesting ones, including some I’ve never had uploaded in the first place. Here’s my fourth lake dress that I made in 2008 – I’ve only ever had 3 pictures of this costume uploaded, though we…

Mooooooom how come Luke gets a lightsaber and I don’t??

MidSouthCon!
Friday I ended up staying home from work with an awful migraine that was making me sick to my stomach – I don’t think the remnants of my head cold helped, either. Friday night I felt awful. So I was worried about Saturday! I had a friend’s baby shower to go to in the morning, and Chase’s birthday dinner that…

c2e2 pics – part 2!
I got the photos from my camera uploaded last night! First up, here’s the finished Fionna costume. It was so comfortable and I can’t wait to wear it again at Dragoncon. I didn’t get a lot of shots of it at C2E2 so I may have to do a photoshoot before then. The guy doing the chalk art all weekend…

New costume pics: Boushh and Donna Noble!
Here’s a few new costume pics we took recently. Boushh: Decided to take some shots of Boushh just because my cousin was doing some of his Luke Skywalker, so I did Leia-as-Boushh to do some matching shots. I still don’t have a new helmet and it’s in some desperate need of repairs (my blaster was a mess.) but it’s great…

GMX 2010 pics!
I only have a few pics up so far, but here’s a few fun ones. Kevin as Superboy: I used that black Halloween hairspray stuff on his hair. It was nasty. I used up the whole bottle spraying his head, and it first it looked good, but after an hour or so it started to turn grey-ish blue. Then I…

Megacon & Photoshoot Pic Dump
I finally finished digging out the megacon pics Chase missed. Here’s the smugmug set. The new pics start at the little boy dressed as Link. I’m just going to post 2 of them, because they’re of Kevin. Here he is in his ebay jedi Luke costume again. I need to take it up and find him some better fitting boots.…

Megacon 2009 Pics
Honestly I kinda feel really bad we didn’t stay at Megacon very long at all. I missed seeing a lot of people I wanted to see and just didn’t really have time to enjoy it. But — like I said in previous posts, Silk Spectre was fun to wear. Starfire was a giant FAIL… and the makeup remover I used…

Christmas Parade Pics
Well first and foremost, I am cruising on my secret project. And having fun, it’s ended up being pretty simple. I hope to have it done by this weekend, and to do a photoshoot then. Here’s some more parade pics! All of these photos were taken by Dragon. And THIS was when we managed to get way, way behind the…

501st Christmas Parades!
Friday night, we managed to cram 4 people and 4 costumes into the car and hit the road to Jackson, where my grandparents live. Chase was going to go see a band with my cousin that night there in Jackson, so Ash, Kevin and I curled up in the living room and watched movies. We went to bed pretty early,…

Midsouthcon 2006 Pics :D
Here’s our MidSouthCon pics! We went up for a bit to say hi to people friday night, and I wore my new 70s Leia poncho: On to Saturday! We stayed in the hotel this year, first time ever. It was nice to have a place to change! I started out wearing Leia, since Kevin was wearing hsi new Luke costume…
