Last few pics + Leia Hair
First up, the last few from the photoshoot – Magik, Johanna and Romana I. Romana was towards the end because dumbing down the white backdrop to total white was difficult around those feathers. Over the years some dings and scratches and paint peels have occurred on my Magik armor… and I really like it, I wish I had more of…

Dcon 2010 costume wrap up
I had a lot of fun at all the photoshoots this year, they were awesome, well organized and fun. However next year I’m not committing myself to ANY photoshoots. I spent all day sunday between the Teen Titans and DC shoots. From 9AM when I got up to when I left DC a little after 4PM. Saturday was the parade/SOSI…

Running errands, costume updates
Spent this morning running last minute errands. Let me see… CVS for eyelashes and bobbie pins, and looking for lipstick for Gaga. It’s an unusual colour and couldn’t find anything. Chick-fil-a for breakfast! Target for snacks for the cooler. I got reese’s, pringles, cokes and starbucks double shots. it’s what I usually subsist on at dragoncon LOL Also again no…

to-do list 8/25/10
I feel much better about things at the moment. I was able to get the waistband and zipper onto the Gaga skirt last night with no issues, and it went onto the cage just fine and I started stitching it in place. I tried it on with the corset and it looks fine (though not so happy with the shape…

Lady Gaga Updates… or something
So my Lady Gaga is not going to be that good. My shoes and bodysuit are going to be rushed and not right – my wig’s not going to be right – and I don’t have enough hoops for the outside. My skirt’s not great, the seams didn’t match up even though I freaking did them all together and pinned…

Various Updates and whatnots
I’ve been playing “Godfinger” on my phone for the past couple of days. Silly little game, but fun. Anyway – after work today I came home and cleaned the house so we wouldn’t have to do it later, then we Chase got home we ran errands. Another fabric store trip (more chiffon and a zipper), the beauty store (blonde wefts…

state of affairs: Dcon2010 costumes
A little update on, well, everything. Lady Gaga: Haven’t touched it, needing more fabric. I did get my shoes. I need to order fabric for the bodysuit, and also my wigs. This one still has the most work left on it. I’d say it’s at 20% Black Widow: Got my wig, wristbands are nearly done, need to put my belt…

costume catch up
So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn’t really go over it. I thought I’d post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I’ve got the top basically made. I’ve got the organza cut to cover it, but haven’t put it on yet – I’m worried I might run out since I’m using the same organza…

2008 in review
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn’t, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff – to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the…

2005 Year in Review!
I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done? I said I’d do: -Padme ep 1 Parade gown Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I’m still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It…
