D23

Oh my, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Well, for several reasons, I was really stressed out over something, which I hope to share soon, and my summer cold has been dragging on and on. But I still managed to get myself to the Anaheim Convention Center this weekend for D23 Expo. So, what is D23,…

Alright, it’s my last Wizard World post, and then it’s back to the vintage, I promise. So if you’re not into Batman, Bruce Campbell or Star Wars, or never much cared for costumes, you’ll find this post pretty boring. But let’s face some facts here, I’m a girl with a lot of different passions. The…

I mentioned in my latest entries about cosplay that I would be doing a Star Wars costume to meet Lando Calrissian actor Billy Dee Williams at this month’s Wizard World Comic Con. This post will just focus on my cosplay, so look for another post soon on the event itself! So here we go… Yes.…

“I’ve Struck a Real Bonanza!”

Back in November I blogged about working on my second Dixie Cousins costume for Portland’s Wizard World Comic Con. And this last week I put the finishing touches on it… Selecting a costume from an obscure source is a double edged sword where the benefit is also the downside when it comes down to recreating…

It’s Wizard World Time Again!

…well, almost. It’s certainly cosplay construction time! I’m not sure how you spent your weekend, but I spent my sewing, and not much else, because the Portland Wizard World Comic Con is coming up again! This time, it’s in January, and since I’m making more than one costume, I decided to start early. I’m so…

Are You Ready for Halloween?

September 29, 2013, 9 Comments

The real “goal” of going to Disneyland this go around was to attend one of Mickey’s Halloween Parties, something I’ve never done before. These parties, which take place during select nights during the Halloween season, are the only time when those over the age of nine are permitted to wear costumes, and since I love…

Wait…I’m a what!?

I recently read through a forum thread from which I was getting a lot of views from. It discussed that some “vintage blogs” aren’t really “vintage” anymore. While I was mentioned positively, and I understand the readers’ frustrations, I would also like to say that a person’s blog is their own. It is for their…

“Very Fancy”

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…

“Who’s Gonna Help Me File My Claim?”

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. I can’t even express how wonderful Anthony is to work with. He took so many amazing photos, it…

Just Keep Beading…

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…
