Wondercon 2012!

SDCC Matt Smith & Karen Gillian & me
Taking a brief break from Gallifrey (Sunday's post is being worked on though!), I'll skip ahead a few weeks to March 16-18, Wondercon!

So usually Wondercon is held in San Francisco, local to me, but the convention center which normally hosts it is under construction. So for some reason instead of moving it to another localish area they moved it all the way to Anaheim this year.
Well.
This is nearby to Disneyland!

So [profile] arachnidism and I semi coordinated our flights and met at the airport where we were picked up by [personal profile] mollypocket on Wednesday night.
Unfortunately... as the plane went over the hills into LA there were low clouds and the lights from the city shining through looked so amazing... and I reached for my camera... to discover I'd left it on my kitchen table.
;________;

Well anyway.
Thursday morning we headed out to Disneyland :D Where we met up with [profile] silvernaofficer, had amazing monte cristo sandwiches, randomly ran into some Whovians who had the same idea, and discovered when [profile] arachnidism is a Rebel Spy we return to Tatooine as heroes and when I'm the Rebel Spy we crash land at an Imperial base (Okay I don't actually remember where we crashed, but I know it was bad).

Then Friday morning we all scooted over to the hotel for WonderCon!

Pictures and details )

And that was WonderCon!

Gallifrey part 3 coming soon.

Gallifrey Report - Day 2!

SDCC Matt Smith & Karen Gillian & me
Alight! Moving right along. Saturday was Shalka day!
If you haven’t seen Scream of the Shalka, you really should. You can watch it streaming on the BBC’s website here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/index.shtml
It’s been awhile since I watched it via that method so I’m not sure if non-UK residents still can, if not I’m sure it’s on youtube. Brilliant writing (Paul Cornell, who wrote episodes Fathers Day and Human Nature) and acting (Derek Jacobi as The Master, Richard E. Grant as The Doctor, and Sophie Okonedo as companion Alison), less than brilliant flash animation but still worth the eye pain.


Pic from my mobile with my [info]radio_sonic flyers.

Pic heavy! )

All in all a great day!

Blast from the Past - Utena 2004

Nine
I am so behind in lj, I have a doc on googledocs of all the posts I need to make that I work on when I have time at work... anyway.

So way back in... 2004, I made some costumes for my friend and myself. As of a few weeks ago, neither of these costumes exist anymore ;_;



That was my first Touga (Touga, btw, is the only costume I've ever remade, the more you know!), which got stained and other things and basically doesn't exist anymore.
After talking with Steph, whom I made Juri for, I decided to toss it. It wasn't made very well and never really fit her.

So I thought I'd post the pictures from way back when )

So I'll also be getting rid of the wig, I'll probably post it on cosplay.com's marketplace, but I figured I'd ask here first if anyone's interested.
This shoot in 2004 was the only time it was ever worn.


Guuuuys I want more Utena times in my life

Gallifrey Report - Day 1!

SDCC Matt Smith & Karen Gillian & me
Finally getting my act together!

This is the most picture heavy day, because we actively took pictures of each other this day 8D

Any pictures I'm in were taken by [profile] 1ucifer or [personal profile] aimeekitty 8D



New costume for me!
Jo Grant of Three era, I loooove her. But I never did her because she's tiny and adorable and I'm not. But I'm glad I did, I had a lot of fun! I need to take in the jumper and modify the shape a bit, to be less bell like.

Picture heavy! )


Basically,
It rocked.

Katy question post

SDCC Matt Smith & Karen Gillian & me
So I’m too lazy to go back and find the wording, but it’s one of those comment and I’ll ask you questions memes 8D
My lj is a little dead these days ;_;

Anyway!
Questions from [profile] katmillia

Katy asks tough questions! )

WonderCon!

<3
Guys!
Wondercon is this weekend!

Who's going?
What're you wearing?

Come say hi! Here's what to expect me in :D

Friday:

Cain from the Sandman



Saturday:

Tintin from Tintin and Desire from the Sandman



Sunday:

Cassie from Young Avengers

Spring cleaning, coming soon!

Pay attention!
Hey you lot!

I'm in the mood for shedding. If there's anything of mine you've ever coveted, give me a buzz and I may be willing to part with it.

But in any case I hope to be listing things to dump or sell soon. Cos, wigs, books, etc. I'll post them here before cos.com or e-bay, as of course I'd rather see things go to friends.

And bonus for you as my friends, I'll accept trade in lieu of money 8D By which I mean wigs, fabric, services (make-up lessons, fitting help, hair cuts :D) and so on.


I'm looking to revamp my wardrobe (digging through pics for my last post made me realize I used to be a pretty awesome dresser, now not so much so), and I just plain old want to get rid of things.


Oh! But I am looking for a wavy/curly light to medium brown longish wig.

For my Victorian in Dec I ended up using my Alyss wig last minute, which is a black curly wig, twisting it up and voila, it worked pretty well. Except it was a bit of a contrast, as I very obviously don't have black hair naturally. But the same style, or similar, would work perfectly both for 1912 and for Regency (and future Victorians!), so yes! If you have one you're looking to sell, hit me up :D

So I was a bit depressed at this birthday, so I made this list of 25 things I've accomplished or am proud of.

Uhm. Most of them are quite geeky and not really accomplishments at all. But whatevs! That's how I roll!

Fairly picture heavy )


And totally unrelated, this song has been stuck in my head since I first heard it about a month ago:
