Bishoujo Rogue Jacket
Home sick, so have a post! For my initial run through with my animated Rogue costume, I bought a bomber jacket off of eBay for a pretty reasonable price. It was okay, but I was roasting by the end of the day, and the jacket really wasn’t a good fit. So I kind of freaked … Continue reading Bishoujo Rogue Jacket
Star Wars Cambie Dress
I finally had a chance to wear my Star Wars dress at Dallas Fan Days. I’ve been meaning to post about this dress for a while now.

On book “ownership” [SPOILER]
On book "ownership" [SPOILER]See also: TL;DRI stumbled across this article earlier today. It describes the reaction of fans to one of the latest dystopian YA series, Divergent by Veronica Roth. Now I haven't read the books myself (though I guess I should add them to my "to-read" pile), but apparently the reactions are very... vitriol. … Continue reading On book “ownership” [SPOILER]
MLP: Rainbow Dash 1.0

Prior to the weeks leading to A-Kon, I caught up … Continue reading MLP: Rainbow Dash 1.0
I’m back!
Hey guys! I decided to transition back to this site in an effort to make more of a "portfolio" of my completed costumes and notes. I still love my tumblr, but I've got a lot of clutter on there and not so many completed costume pics. I'll probably post more in-progress stuff for the most … Continue reading I’m back!
