dragoncon persists
Well I’m back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I’m kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn’t do any of it. It was like I only had a…

Last couple of new sets
Got the last two sets uploaded – Ozma and Ame-Comi Wonder Woman! Really happy with how Ozma turned out. I really like how the new fluffy Anna Valerious wig looks with this costume, as opposed to the flatter, straighter wig I always used for it. And… the wand. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my Ozma wand was missing,…

Dressform Pics – Last bit
Here’s the last few I didn’t have uploaded yet yesterday. Anne was a bit too big to properly spread out the train. Did the best I could in the space I had. I was surprised I was able to get Johanna’s shirt on the dressform at all, but somehow I did. And I’m amazed the collar piece fit. (Early on…

Con Nooga 2008 Pics

Hogwarts Robes finished + photoshoot!
Secret project is FINISHED! I’ll try to post pics tomorrow before we leave. I took these pics a while back, when I bought a new backdrop – I want to try to put together a nice book of some of my costumes, eventually.

when we flew over the grand canyon
So, San Diego report! Wednesday! We got up at 4AM, went over to Ash’s house and picked her up. We got to the airport a little before 5 and got checked in. Nothing was open so we just had to sit around. We ended up in like, the loser part of the airport I’d never been in before. So we’re…

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.

when i couldn’t concentrate because dcon
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…

Doppleganger
Apparently I have an evil doppleganger. People are always saying to me, “I saw you at -con I didn’t go to-!” At MidSouthCon, 4 seperate people said they saw me there last year – I didn’t go last year! It’s kinda creepy. I just nod and smile when people say something like that. I really must have a doppleganger. Maybe…
