Leia belt damage
I’ve done jack in the way of costumes lately – but my grandmother gave me a hancocks gift card for my birthday, and it’s burning a hole in my pocket, so tomorrow morning I’m going to go see if I can’t make use of it. What I’ll get, I have no idea. I forgot to mention in my Dragoncon wrap…

Updates for everything!!
Progress report: “Different” Leia: (the other “silly” one for wonderfest, i’m excited about it, LOL) It’s almost done.

a long overdue update
(EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.) As I said in the last quick post, sorry for disappearing the past couple of months! Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I’ve been out of town almost every weekend since…

Atlanta St. Pat’s Parade I’ve never done this event before, and it’s still not 100% that I’m going to go, but if I can hitch a ride… Wearing regular Princess Leia, most likely, if not, battle Padme with new shinguards.

Revenge of the Sith Event Pics! And Plans
Jupiter isn’t going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it’s about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven’t bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn’t be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there’s no time to worry with Jupiter. 🙁 Oh well – I’ll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking…

George Lucas is going to be at Celebration. I don’t care what you think of him, or the prequels… it boils down to the fact that the man whose movies shaped my childhood is going to be in the same building as me.
