Dressform Pics
Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

Old pics, part 1
I’ve been uploading some old costume pics from my external hard drive, just as a back-up, mostly. Some of them I haven’t seen in YEARS. Heres a handful of ones I found funny or interesting; I’ll just post a few now and some more later. This one cracks me UP because Kevin is passed out asleep behind me. This was…

when i was in a skit
Deathcom Multimedia has the video from Katsucon 10 up. If you want to see me looking dorky, go download it. It’s around 50MB (and we were skit #21 – it’s seperated by skits, so I think we’re the 3rd video). It’s really nice quality, and I crack myself up in it. hehe (fyi, I was Urd in the AMG skit)

Katsucon 2004 pics!
I’m dead tired. I don’t know how I made it through the weekend. I fell asleep in the room 3 times by mistake. But it was fun! I was part of a great AMG group for the masq, and I met lots of cool people and it was great seeing friends from other cons again. Not enough really happened to…

I dyed my Lina gloves!!! They turned out good, I’m so happy XD It’s so easy! Now I’m ready for Ash’s Yuna sleeves! Dad and I went and got chicken wire and wallpaper paste and a bucket for making paper mache paste. I’m worried about doing this, I’ve got so little experience. Today got my Urd pattern cut out and…

Lina & Urd wigs
I just bought my Lina wig. whew. It’s now the most expensive wig I own. I wanted something that would look more natural than just a regular straight style wig. I bought it from the same people I got my She-Ra wig from. It’s layered and really nice looking. It’s a little darker than I really wanted, but… it’s just…

when i found a lum bikini
Today… Ash and I ran around all day. First we went to Salvation Army to look for shoes for my Urd costume, shoes for Ash’s Yuna costume, and a skirt for her Yuna. I didn’t find any shoes. Ash found some but they were too small. We actually found a *great* Yuna skirt – but it was too small too…

Lina & Urd stuff
Went to the fabric store today!! I got black fabric for Lina’s cape, and purple to line it with. Also got off-white fabric for the white bits of her costume. Got a *perfect* pattern for Urd. It’s great. And black fabric, sort of suede like for the black pieces of her costume. And yellow ribbon for the yellow bits. I…

Lum!!
Dude!!! I’m totally doing Lum for MTAC!! I’ve always wanted to do a Lum costume… but I didn’t want to wear it to a big con so I always figured if I ever actually made it it would just be for fun. But then I thought, why not wear it to MTAC, it’s not such a huge crowd. I just…

My aunt, my grandparents, Kristie, Ash and me are all going, it’s almost like a family vacation except with anime and costumes!! ooo I’m so excited!

Upcoming Costume Ideas…
Hmm… I’m gonna go out into the woods and take some new pictures of my elf costume this afternoon. Ash and I talked for a long time about our costumes at the basketball game saturday night. I can’t find the stupid piece of paper where I wrote it all down, but Ash is looking at Meryl, pink outfit Ling Xiaoyu,…

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!

Planning out Urd…
Well, I showed the Urd costume to mom. She didn’t flip, thank god. She suggested using flesh coloured material to cover that part, but I don’t want to do that. I thought maybe one strip of flesh coloured underneath my chest and then spirit gum the rest, maybe… I don’t know. I have a long time to think about it.…
