Hey look... I'm posting on a Wednesday, only 2 days after I last posted... what is this, 2001?! Well a lot has happened since I posted on Monday. The "snowpcalypse" was no joke. This is the most snow I've seen here in... possibly decades? Remember that pic of our cove on Sunday that I had in the last post? This one: Here it is Monday at 11:30: Wow! And it kept snowing like ...
When UPS says your package will arrive 4/14, hands off to USPS on 4/13 and they scan it twice but it never shows up USPS THIS IS WHY NOBODY LIKES YOU Anyway, I got a couple more sets of the new photos uploaded... Bespin Escape Leia! Nice to mark this one off the list - now I just have one more Leia costume to shoot on the backdrop, the 70s Doll Poncho ...
So last night we trooped the midnight release of Battlefront 3 at Best Buy! Chase had play practice so I thought I was on my own... until Kevin ended up staying with us last night. Yay! I was going to put him in Luke, but he arrived at my house with a big fuzzy beard. So I pulled the jedi out for him to wear. Unfortunately the belt was MIA and ...
I got Merida mostly finished! I got the eyelets set into the neck with Chase's help though I cut one opening too big and after a freak out spiral I ended up having to go back and wrap each eyelet in embroidery floss to fix it, but in the end it looks good and there's no visible metal eyelets, so that's nice. I got the neckline and sleeve chiffon added ...
Once again I'm posting 2 Leia hair tutorials today - again since these are similar I figure I'd post them together! Today I'm doing the Rebel/Endor hairstyle and the Hoth hairstyle - this post is for the Hoth braids :) My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It's been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles - most of my Leia costumes I did 2005-2007ish. I don't ...
Today I'm posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays - the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It's been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles - most of my Leia costumes I did 2005-2007ish. I don't claim them to be 100% accurate then ...
I finally found one pic of Hoth Leia from Friday night at MidSouthCon, from laspector: Goodness my hair was everywhere. But anyway, today was day 4 of insanity. Cardio Recovery. The stretches were hard and I have trouble with balancing but the recovery is so much easier. Can't wait til tomorrow! :)
Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little. We had a 10am photoshoot with Eurobeat King, so we got up at 9 to get ready. Cath had moved to the girls' room the day before, once Ash and Melissa had gotten up and settled - they were on the 36th floor!! LOL Ewok Leia is really fast & easy to get on - the only drama was getting Chase's Han ...
I'll start with Friday :) Indy wanted to go! We loaded up (again, after getting permission to borrow my aunt's car!) and set off. We made pretty good time, got in around 9:30, I think? Checked in, found everybody, then unloaded the car and hit the sack, because we were really tired after the drive! Saturday morning we got up early, Chase put on Vader, I put on Hoth Leia, and we ...
