Right now, though, I'm not even sure ...Will do. Right now, though, I'm not even sure I'm in it as they haven't gotten back to me (the process is to submit an entry form early, then a picture of the finished or nearly finished costume when you get it done, but not later than June 20th, then they tell you if you are in the masquerade; did all that, but haven't heard back, which is understandable, since they are busy this close to it).<br /><br />I'm not really going for the celeb and business stuff, just going to more or less say I went and have fun in costumes. Although the having fun is quickly turning into even more of a panic than usual, as I'm still working on stuff and I drive out to San Diego in less than two weeks. :P Me and my abysmal planning...<br /><br />Probably will email you about costume stuff later, once I really have some things to show. :) I'm already looking forward to Arisia and Costume Con 34 next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978897184296648180.post-65697757574267809512015-06-26T18:00:51.879-07:002015-06-26T18:00:51.879-07:00I can't think of anything I need from SDCC. T...I can't think of anything I need from SDCC. The celebrity and business side of fandom has never really interested me. I'm more participatory than that. But do let us know how the masquerade goes. I've always been interested in how big events like this handle the competitions. Dawn at Dragon*Con was always a whole other ball game.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497740667660184594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978897184296648180.post-59283389414017714232015-06-24T07:21:17.518-07:002015-06-24T07:21:17.518-07:00I need to see the new Avengers (I know it's go...I need to see the new Avengers (I know it's good, but I haven't had time; plus, no Tom Hiddleston ;_;). If you do change your plates, let me know. Weird as it is, I love people having creative license plates (this is still one of my favs; http://killpurakat.deviantart.com/art/This-Guy-365408580 ).<br /><br />Yeah, I may have to buy that pattern now. Between how nifty you look and having a tutorial to help, it seems silly not to. And it is speaking to me. Something... maid-like, but not... and frilly... Hmm...<br /><br />Can't wait to see the CC pics! :) I had an unexpected event back in February that sort of messed with all my con plans (got a ticket AND hotel to the San Diego Comic Con!). Was planning to still attend CC33, but I had nothing done on the costumes I wanted to enter (SDCC requires finished costume pics to enter their masquerade, which I am still working on getting to them). Then I realized the weekend would cost me upwards of $1000 between the hotel and flight. Seemed best to not go and wait for CC34, which is closer (I'll be driving) and whose theme interests me more. :) Plus, I've been working on those costume entries since last year, and I really like them.<br /><br />BTW, since I'm attending SDCC, anything you or Mijan would like me to be on the look out for? Or any celebrities you'd like me to get autographs for/harass/stalk?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978897184296648180.post-43450633329123213162015-06-23T22:30:10.686-07:002015-06-23T22:30:10.686-07:00So much Avengers love in my world right now. I...So much Avengers love in my world right now. I'm due to get new personalized plates for my car this summer, and I'm debating leaving my SLYTHRN behind me for something new. The tutorial I linked was super helpful with the re-shaping. Back to being a fitted dress and not an elaborate preschool art smock. Costume Con was fun, but super busy, as I competed a lot this year. I was waiting for the professional pictures to get released before I wrote up a con report, though. I wondered where you were this year. It's good to hear that you'll be making it to Madison.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497740667660184594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978897184296648180.post-71891185710446015432015-06-23T22:00:40.729-07:002015-06-23T22:00:40.729-07:00Avengers! *fangirl squeeing* Loving the dress, and...Avengers! *fangirl squeeing* Loving the dress, and thanks for all the tips about using the pattern. I've seen it numerous times and wanted to buy it and try it, but I had no ideas for what to do with it. Looking at you and how awesome you look in that style, I'm getting ideas. :)<br /><br />I have never wanted the ability to physically hug people through the internet more. You look so hug-able! *internet hugs*<br /><br />Hope Costume Con was fun! :D I had to miss this year, but I'll be there next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
