utena
Below you’ll find my blog posts about my Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena) duelist costumes, my first one from 2001, my second from 2007, and my third in 2022.

photoshoot pics yay
Well it took me longer than I thought to get the rest of these cropped and uploaded but here they are at last. Started the shoot with Dapper Leia because I wanted my “real hair” costumes to go first. I forgot to do any pics with my sunglasses but not too upset about it because I really didn’t like the…

no resolutions
I generally don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore, but I saw somebody say their resolution is to “pet more dogs” and that’s what I’m going to use from now on if anybody asks about my new year’s resolution. I didn’t post last week which was not great because now I have to try to remember everything that happened Christmas weekend.…

disney blather
I started writing tihs post on Friday and then forgot about it halfway through. So I’m just going to finish it up today and add my weekend update to the end. Well Monday I was so annoyed I didn’t even really tell yall about what we booked, did I? Plus we have a split stay so I didn’t get to…

im mad at disney
This morning has been an absolute clusterfuck. Today was our day to book dining, so Chase and I were up at 4:30 and ready to go with my list. Nothing came up til 5, and then the only thing we were able to book was dinner for our first night. I could see the dates after that and times but…

where’d all the time go
How is February almost over? I mean I’m not complaining because it’s one step closer to disney but also I keep getting further and further behind in my projects. I am actually nearly done with Utena. FINALLY. My new shoulder trim came in last weekend so I spent last week sewing the tassels together to make big tassels. Finished that…

wait for me
Well let’s talk this week about the fact that I still don’t have my Marvel art to show yall. I actually did finish all 24 characters last week like I said, but then when I started putting them all together I decided i needed 4 more, 24 didn’t fill the space correctly. I did 3 over the weekend so i’m…

rats along his back
It’s another week where I have hardly anything to show yall. I’ve mostly been working on the Marvel art project, which I still can’t show yall anything on because I haven’t uploaded any of it. I’m getting the individual pieces like 98% done then when I put them all together I’ll be finishing them off, which is why I haven’t…

oh my my my
Well hi I don’t have anything exciting to share this week. I’ve basically done nothing since my last post except work on some art and a little sewing this past weekend. No progress to report on Utena, it’s still not done, but Chase sanded all my 3d printed pieces and got started painting them. Can’t really do anything else til…

try your best to hold on to sanity
A friend of mine posted something about enneagrams this morning and I couldn’t remember what I was so I went to take a quiz to see. And I ran into the problem I run into everytime I take one of these personality quizes: costuming me is a very different person than real life me. Do I persevere until the job…

the endless expanse
this is my least favourite time of year because there is basically nothing to look forward to. We don’t even have any work holidays until Memorial Day in MARCH. They don’t even give us Good Friday off for Easter bruh. It’s just an endless sea of work ahead of me. We did finish booking our Disney trip, finally. So all…

hey 2022
Somebody pointed out that you can sing “2022” to the beginning bit of the Scooby Doo theme song and that’s all I can think of. Not really a lot to share today because I spent most of the long weekend putting up christmas (or, taking it upstairs at least), cleaning the house, my sewing room, etc. Thursday night we did…

this is why i don’t skip posting weekly
I really can’t remember what all has happened since I last posted, it’s all too much. Christmas was nice. I’m just going to kinda go through my photos in the order they’re in and talk about them. First up here is my favourite gift bag. I almost gave it away this year but kept it again. I just like taking…

go away sun
The good: I have seen Spider-man and it was glorious. I was already somewhat spoiled (by choice. I was digging through marvel subreddits for months sniffing out details) but it was so much more than I thought it was going to be and very emotional. Loved it. Definitely best Spider-man. The bad: today is my uncle’s funeral. 🙁 The good:…

it’s beginning to look a lot like f this
Yeah I didn’t post last week. Monday I was just really busy and was like, I’ll do it Tuesday. Then I was still busy Tuesday so I thought I’ll do it Wednesday. Then Wednesday morning my uncle Mike was shot during a carjacking. I think one of my cousins had the most accurate response to being told – “Out of…

anything goes
Well I can’t log-in to my site from chrome. It keeps giving me some cookie error which is apparently a common error but looking at the fixes on some website I found just makes my brain go fuzzy. So we’re working from firefox today. Let’s see, the first photo in my uploads today is an Utena pic so we’ll start…

i am thankful for short work weeks
Oh hi here I am back again with absolutely no Utena updates. My red fabric is supposed to arrive today finally. Then I have to get my brain back up to speed on the project. I know it’s only been like 2 weeks I haven’t done anything on it but that’s long enough for me to forget where I was…

it’s a very monday monday
Actually it was a very-Monday Sunday too. But work has been vicious today and I’m already over it. Luna did not make this mess. I did, she only sat in the middle of it. I’m a bit stuck on Utena at the moment. Got nothing done this weekend except I cut out the sleeves and collar. I spent about 3…

hello strange person
So here’s a fun fact about facebook for you. I’ve been trying to “lessen” my facebook footprint for a while, deleting photos, removing anything personal, and the other day I decided to start removing pages I’ve liked, especially since I “liked” a ton of random cosplay pages back in the day when doing “like for like” things with people in…

what year is it??
I think I mentioned last week we’d been having internet issues? I can’t remember. Was having issues UPLOADING mostly, downloading was fine but — for instance on friday? It took TWO HOURS to upload a tiktok video. Geez. We’d have occasional internet blips too, wi-fi would stop working for a few seconds, maybe a minute, and then come back. We…

New Photos!
I’ve been adding a lot of new photos over the past few weeks! I’ve got new pics for Batgirl, Ripley, Utena, and Belle’s blue dress! And I finally finished adding pics from Halloween to that set in the events section.
