Not too long ago, I was contacted by eShakti again to try out something from their new Spring/Summer collection. And, oh, what a collection it is! I certainly had a hard time selecting something! Ultimately I chose this darling heart blouse… Unlike last time, where I stuck with a standard garment, this go-round I opted…

Thanks for sticking with me dear readers as I blogged on and on about my Comic Con costume experience. Now, back to the vintage and fashion you come here for! Last night Patrick and I finally made it to see Les Miserables at the cinema, yep, only after the Oscars. Go us! I used to…

So, as you all know by now, I spent last weekend at the Portland Convention Center for Portland Comic Con. And it was crazy. So crazy, both Patrick and I really failed at taking pictures. There was so much to see and do and talk about. Friday found myself dressed as Marion Ravenwood and my…

Last night, after weeks upon weeks of sewing and beading, I finally completed by Dixie Cousins costume for this weekend’s ComicCon here in Portland and today I had photographer and friend Anthony come by to shoot it.

Earlier I posted about the trial of finding new glasses, and how I ultimately settled on a new pair of frames, rather than a vintage pair. And here they are! Yeah, I know, they aren’t much different, but I’ve never been one for too much change. I am quite a fan of their nifty little…

Part of the reason for the lack of blog posts lately is the fact that most of my time lately has been taken up by the making of my Dixie Cousins costume which needs to be completed by February 24th when my dream of meeting Bruce Campbell will come true! Additionally, it’s a costume I’ve…

Today I took a break from the massive amounts of beading for my Dixie Cousins costume to search for some new frames. Glasses frames that is. I was due for my eye exam, and had it last week, however didn’t find anything at my optometrist, leaving me to hunt on my own at various optometrists…
