DragonCon 2022

Wow. That was so much fun! It has honestly taken me this long to recover enough to be able to sit down and write about it here. I am really glad I made the costume choices that I did. I think I'm going to have to retire Jane Lane. It seems to be time. If …

DragonCon planning inspiration

With the increased announcements of guests for DragonCon, and the fact that it's a little over a month away, I've been thinking about which costumes to bring. As you might already know, I'm not the cosplayer who needs to bring new costumes to the con every time. I like bringing new costumes when I have …

Cosplay at Work: SG-13

I decided to start my cosplaying at work off with my SG-13 uniform, which I haven't worn in years. It's been so long that I forgot I had bought stuff for it. I last wore this costume in 2014 at both Marcon and DragonCon. I don't think this picture is from 2014, but it's the …

17 days to go…

Let the chaos begin! I have my app installed, my packing list ready, and three out of five costumes to complete. Here's the plan: Friday Morning: First Doctor bathing suit for Bathing Beauties photoshoot Friday Afternoon: Harry Dresden for Legendary Sleuths photoshoot Friday Evening: SG-13 Woodland Uniform for the Intergalactic Military Ball Saturday Morning: Post-regeneration …

Intergalactic Military Ball

Today my hubby showed me an awesome new item in the Dragon*Con Store. This year they are holding their Inaugural Intergalactic Military Ball. As you can see, a multitude of fandoms will be welcomed, which got me thinking. At first, my Star Trek uniform dress popped to mind. Then I remembered my underused SG-13 uniform. …

Marcon 2014

That was a wonderful convention. I've already gushed about it over on Polymind, but I wanted to talk costumes a bit more. Arthur was the most recognized costume of the weekend. Come to think about it, I may make Arthur a staple of Marcon. I had my picture taken three times, which was great. I …

Slight change in plans

So, I got to thinking. I've got a lot of work to do to get Arthur's wig in shape. Then a thought popped up: why not go genderbend instead? So I tried on the pyjamas and liked it. Then I tied my hair back and knew it would be perfect! So it looks like Arthur's …

Motivated

Now that I know what I'll be doing with my life for the next year, my motivation has returned! Tomorrow I'm going to get some new razor blades so I can get Harry's wig in better shape. Sunday I'm going to get working on his coat! Finally! Granted I've got less than a month to …

I give up!

I know I said I wasn't going to post, but I've been really busy lately and just can't stand not posting here anymore! Okay. No progress has been made on getting costumes made. The pattern for One's bathing suit finally arrived, which is progress of a kind. I have gotten my sewing table up and …

MARcon!!!

It's now official. I'm going to MARcon! I've registered and reserved my hotel room. I am so excited! I was never this excited for Ohayocon, but I think I know why. First, I was going to the con every day from my apartment. I figured, why bother getting a hotel room? Last year I realized …
