Sorry about the abrupt end to that last entry. There was a really big explosion at the refinery where my dad works. He wasn't answering his phone. But he's okay. He's spent the last couple of hours putting out the fire (he's a firefighter, in addition to his "normal" job)and digging through rubble, helping to carry bodies. He's okay though, ( Read more... )

...I'm going to babble about my prom dress, because it makes me extremely happy. So there.

( here's a swatch of the fabric, on top of my wrap )

So, I think I need to clarify something. When I previously stated that I loved German costume, I meant that whenever I see something German, I typically say "ooh! Pretty! German!". After a few hours of studying portraits and reading articles, however....oh baby, I think I'm in love. Seriously. Look at this collar! And the trim on that one! ( Read more... )

...and Lauren has made two updates in one day. Crazy, huh?

Anyway, I went on a bit of a web search for ideas for my German dress, and I decided to take a look at jenthompson's Feature Attyre, just to see. And I found this. Oh. My. God. That has got to be one of the best German costumes I've ever seen. It doesn't look like a costume. It looks like ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a while. I've gotten some things accomplished in the last month, more planning than actual doing, though, but still, plenty of pictures. That are on a memory card. In my bag. In my truck. Which is being driven by my brother while he's in town. Crap ( Read more... )

In all the excitement of me getting my jedi robe and making my costume , and Ashton getting her expensive-ass lightsaber and making her horns, we just completely for got about Brittany. Don’t ask me how, but we just totally did ( Read more... )

Well, I had a discussion with Ashton today concerning which projects are going to get done this year, and which are going to have to wait. My jedi costume is my first priority, and it will get completed before May 19th (SW EP 3 premiere). For anyone that doesn't know, my goal to have a really amazing, kickass jedi costume (this was before I ( Read more... )

So, here it is, the wish list. The drool worthy things that I WILL have.....one of these days months years. Things might get added to this list as new movies come out, or as a new shiny takes my eye, but I'm fairly certain nothing's coming off of it any time soon ( Read more... )

Boning is a physical manifestation of The Force. It surrounds us. It uplifts us. It takes years of training to become fully sensitive to, and to harness, its ever-present power. Featherweight is the path to the dark side.

So, ever get the feeling that you've reached new, possibly unhealthy levels of your chosen guilty pleasure? I totally just did. If it wasn't apparent, I'm a geek. Not just a little bit. A dyed-in-the-wool-die-hard geek. I call my cell phone my "Jedi Communicator", my "comlink", or my "Sub Etha Sens-o-matic" just depending on what DVD's I've ( Read more... )
