Dragoncon 2002 recap!
report… sort of preliminary, as I remember things I’ll have to go back and add them. Friday Friday saw us up at 4:30 AM to drive to the airport to catch our 6:30 flight. We got to the airport and checked in… we had perfect timing, as soon as we walked up to the gate they called our seats and…

Dyeing my Padme Lake dress, updates
UGH! We did the first dying on Amidala yesterday and it turned out too bright. It looks like a banana snowcone. I’m going to have to use some colour remover on it. Cut out the pattern pieces for Shadowcat’s shirt. Finished Ocha’s boot covers and figured out her tail. To do list: Amidala: -Finishing dying -sew arm rings in -finish…

LOL Comic Con
Cath called me last night, upset with me ’cause I didn’t tell her about this convention that she wanted to go to. LOL! San Diego Comic Con. I was like, Cath, we couldn’t’ve all of a sudden pick up and flew to San Diego Comic Con, especially with Dragoncon right around the corner. Anyway, got most of the Ocha ears…

Pre Dragoncon rush
Finished most of the work on Ocha’s white dress today. Still got to attach the collar and the sleeves. And maybe take up the sides a little bit. Also finished her tail (it’s neat!), and redid part of her wig last night (one curl was kinda funky), and discovered I could use the sewing machine on the vinyl I got…

Ocha & Padme progress
I just dyed some fur for my Ocha costume. It turned out perfect… gads I love dying stuff! This afternoon we are going to pick up all the stuff I need for Amidala. Mom and talked about it the other day and pretty much figured how we’re going to do it. They only thing we haven’t figured out is the…

Shadowcat, Padme and Ocha updates
MTAC was fun! 😀 I took five rolls of film (only used 3 at otakon…!) Actually……….. DAD took 5 rolls of film, mostly ’cause I told him to take pictures of everyone in the costume contest. I should have them back by the end of this week. Shadowcat – got boots, got tights, got blue bathing suit bottom. Got fabric…

Otakon 2002 pics are up!
I’m alive!!!!!!!!! sort of. otakon report + pics are up. Anyway. I’m still not sure whether I won something at otakon or not. Very confused, I am. I’ve been working on dragoncon stuff. I start curling my ocha wig last night. Also got white fabric, blue fabric, white vinyl and yellow ribbons for ocha. I have everything I need for…

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…

Ocha postponed
I think I may hold off on Ocha until DragonCon, and go ahead and do Faye for Otakon. Reason for this is, I was planning on wearing Ocha on Sunday at Otakon. That way if the green face makeup stains my skin, it wouldn’t affect other costumes *g* But, we’re going to have leave the hotel at like, 10AM to…

Dragoncon suggestions
There’s a good chance I’m going to DragonCon this year. It was sort of a sudden decision between Cath and I… she can’t go with us to either Animazement or Otakon, so I brought up dragoncon… it looks *really* cool, with a lot of really neat guests and events. I was thinking of costumes… right now I’m working on Xiaoyu…

Animazement plans…
Whoohoo! I booked our flight for Animazement. I guess that makes it official now! We leave Nashville at 7:30 AM on friday and get into Raleigh/Durham at 9:40. It was the same price as the first tickets I found, which left Nashville at 7:00, stopped over in Cincinnati (sp?) and didn’t get into Raleigh/Durham until around noon. Heh! Too bad…

when i got a green wig
How did my Google search get in german? What the… I put up a new quiz! Finally. I guess I’m going to try to do Ocha, seeing as how I now have a pretty green wig. Hehe, changed the ranks on the bbs from Star Wars to LOTR. It was hard trying to categorize everything and figure who was more…

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…

Makeup
Makeup and me do not mix. I can’t stand wearing it! The only time I ever wear it is when I’m in costume. And then I have no idea what to do with it. No one ever taught me what to do with it… that’s why I wanted my mom with me at MTAC. Well Mom took advantage of the…

when i found a wig that wasn’t just right
Man, if this wig came in green, it could be an Ocha wig!
