Up and Out
I've decided to move on from LJ. I've locked up comments and moved my historical costuming blog here:

Hope to see you there! -
Superbowl hopfeful ad to be filmed on Friday -- Needs Army!
(I'm forwarding this on to all of the possibly relevant lists that I'm on, so I apologize for any repetitions. If someone could cross-post it to the Aerie or other group lists, that would be awesome)
The BYU Adlab is filming a Doritos commercial this Friday (November 10) and want as many "knights in shining armor" types as possible. The story (as ( Read more... ) -
T4T last-minute freakouts
Is anyone coming to T4T who a) wouldn't mind judging the A&S competition and b) wouldn't mind judging a mead entry to said A&S competition? I will provide cookies! -

I did as well as I could -- a scant 1/8" hem backed with bias tape worked really well, but seeing the pictures from Gryphon's Ball I noticed a distinct ( Read more... ) -
Update of Updateyness, also costuming stuff
I don't know why I always feel the need to pile on 3 or more projects with a deadline of less than two weeks.

Not that I post things that are ( Read more... ) -
Day 1: Introduce Yourself
Quite a lot of "in great detail", but it might be fun. Some might end up being F-locked. And it's pretty unlikely that I'll actually do this in thirty days.
The Topics List:
Day 01 - Introduce yourself
Day 02 - Your first love, in great detail
Day 03 - Your parents, in great detail
Day 04 - What you ate today, in great detail
Day 05 - Your definition ( Read more... )
