Asajj Ventress gets married (part one)
I'm posting this in installments, because I don't feel like uploading all of the pictures tonight.
This is my friend, Shada.
Shada likes to make costumes.
One of the Star Wars characters she likes to costume is Asajj Ventress, a Sith from the Clone Wars time period. Asajj looks like this.
When costuming her, Shada looks like this.
Shada got married this past weekend. To celebrate, Mark and I had the idea of making an Asajj wedding figurine. Of course, we had this idea 7 days before the wedding, so not much time to actually do anything. Mark is very busy, so he let me run with the idea by myself. I recruited Matt because... well, he's easy to recruit.
We started by looking for an Asajj action figure that we could just make a wedding dress for. They do make Asajj action figures; however, none of our local stores carried one and with only 7 days to go we didn't have enough time to order one online.
Next we went looking for a wedding dress that we could make a doll for. (This was surprisingly hard to find. In other circumstances I would be pleased to find so little evidence that small girls are being encouraged to plan their weddings from the age of two, but in this case I really just wanted a doll in a white dress.)
After consulting with a very helpful Toys'R'Us employee, who scoured the computer inventory for something suitable, found something, and called another Toys'R'Us and asked them to hold one for us, we ended up with a Princess Bride Barbie. She looked like this.
(When we were through with her, she did not look like this anymore.)
