So the role of Wonder Woman has been cast for Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman/Superman (still untitled) film. As expected, there are a lot of strong reactions, primarily regarding Gal Gadot's physique.

I've been quiet on the blog front because I've been busy prepping for Austin Comic Con next weekend! As of right now, I'm only planning to attend on Saturday, but I've also put my name out there for a social media volunteer. We'll see what happens.

Some weekend progress
I accidentally got on a sewing roll yesterday. The BF is obsessed with beating Titan on hard mode in FF14 (meanwhile, I'm all "LOOK AT THE CUTE THINGS MY LALAFELL CAN DO!"), which gave me lots of time to sew. I made progress on several things.

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.

Rogue: X-Men Animated Series
Completed: May 2013 Hours Spent: 7-10~ (on my end) Debuted at: A-Kon 24 Why This Costume: If Sailor Moon was my first forray into anime, the 90s X-Men cartoon was my “gateway drug” for all-around nerdom. I adored this cartoon, and Rogue was my all-time favorite character. I was born in Mississippi and raised in … Continue reading Rogue: X-Men Animated Series
Lilith: Borderlands 2
Completed: May 2013 Hours Spent: 40+ Debut: Dallas Comic Con 2013 Why This Costume: My friends approached me about a group Borderlands cosplay last year.
