Photoshoot: Zatanna and Black Widow!
sorry I haven’t posted recently. Haven’t had much to talk about. Been sick off and on, some head cold. Missed seeing HP at midnight cause I still felt bad and Chase was still in the middle of it. Still haven’t seen it! 🙁 Went to the zoo saturday, first time we’ve made use of our zoo memberships 🙂 We took…

Megacon 2009 Pics
Honestly I kinda feel really bad we didn’t stay at Megacon very long at all. I missed seeing a lot of people I wanted to see and just didn’t really have time to enjoy it. But — like I said in previous posts, Silk Spectre was fun to wear. Starfire was a giant FAIL… and the makeup remover I used…

Megacon, Sally Jupiter, Zatanna updates
Sorry I haven’t posted here in a while! I was very lazy over the holidays and it was really nice LOL I got a lovely new top hat for Zatanna for Christmas! That’s really the only thing costume related I got, outside of a fabric store gift card. I have gotten a start on Silk Spectre I. I’ve the chiffon…

2008 in review
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn’t, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff – to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the…

Dragoncon 2008 Costume wrapup
1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour’s worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn’t care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I’d tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it’s not too cold out.…

Dragoncon 2008 – thurs and friday!
Hey guys… sorry I haven’t posted in a few days!! Dragoncon was a blast, as always. I managed to come home with a nasty head cold so I’ve been kinda in-and-out of it since then. I finished uploading our photos today, though – had over 1000, almost filled up the memory card, LOL. I think I’ll break up my posts…

Zatanna preview
Took yesterday off work – got all of our weekend errands done a day early. Also worked on Glinda, and still working on it this morning. Zatanna progress: see what i mean about my zatanna hat looking a little too small? I won’t have the replacement until right before dcon. I’m starting to freak out a little bit, dragoncon is…

Wig Problems and Updates
Well let’s see. The wig that I got that was too short? The seller wouldn’t do anything about it, so last night I found some black hair extensions in my wig box and sewed them into the wig. It’s all I could do. Got the jacket taken up, and I ended up having to attach the bottoms/briefs to my white…

Starfire and Ame-Comi WW Progress pics
Chase brought up two things out of the shop that he’s working on — First up, my Starfire gauntlets. He’s downstairs cutting the excess off of them right now. I won’t be able to bend my hand outward at the wrist, but I can deal with that. Wonder Woman shins – This will probably give away which version I’m doing…

Zatanna updates
My Zatanna jacket came! OMG I love it! I’m not going to have to do much to it at all – I’m going to take up the side seams at the waist, and I miiiiight take it up at the shoulders, but otherwise it’s great. Tonight it’s all working on Chase’s clone, to try to get it ready for later…

Lots of updates
Got the bodice of the new WW basically put together yesterday. I’ve got to figure out where my boning is so I can hopefully get it finished by this weekend. Starfire wig is coming along. I got one Starfire boot almost finished. I need to do a little more fitting around the upper portion, and hem the top edge. The…

argh… wig problems
I’ve been having the WORST luck on ebay. First the wrong boots thing – which ended up OK – but now the wig I bought for Zatanna has arrived and it’s SHORT. Like it barely touches the top of my shoulders. I’m pissed, it was an expensive wig… I can’t tell whether or not it’s a different wig that’s in…

Starfire and Zatanna updates
I worked on my Starfire wig, but mostly I worked on my Zatanna vest. I had a vest that came with a pair of pants from several years ago – I think I wore the vest once and decided I looked like a waitress LOL but I found it when unpacking so I thought it would make a cute vest…

So, Dragoncon Plans
Starfire – I got my wig, I need to start working on it – unfortunately my wighead clamp doesn’t fit on any of our new counters or tables! D: Hopefully it will fit on the new work table I get pretty soon. I’ve got my fabric, and I got my boots in the mail today. I order the bodysuit… and…

2007 in review
Well since I’m mostly done for the year – outside of my little secret project – I’m gonna go ahead and post this. I’ve had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish… keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn’t proposed yet and changed a…

Superhero thoughts
I asked Chase which should be my next superhero costume – I gave him a choice of 4 – Zatanna, comic-book Starfire (which I’ve wanted to do since doing the Cartoon Network version), Power Girl or Scarlet Witch. He didn’t like Power Girl, which I didn’t expect him to, he wasn’t too keen on Zatanna, either – he said Starfire…
