2012 - A Year in Review - Costuming!
Here are the scant few new costumes (and an oldie but goodie) I made this year. 2012 has been a helluva year. Due to personal troubles, costuming unfortunately had to take the back burner more often than I would have liked. I’m looking forward to making up for what I missed out on in 2013!
Plans are already being made regarding costumes and conventions for 2013, and it’s looking like it’s going to be a very promising year. Prospective costumes include: Mad Moxxie (BL2), Diva Plavalaguna, Promethea (the first comics I ever got my hands on!), and Witchblade, Ame-Comi Power Girl, and Risti (Queen’s Blade) are still on the docket. I’ll make a post of conventions once I have things a little more set in stone, and once a few cons confirm that I’ll be their guest!
Cheers to a new year!
Anonymous asked: where did you get your jessica rabbit dress from love?
I made it (and all my costumes) myself. :)
A question I’m asked a lot is ‘What’s your favorite costume to wear?’ and I always flounder. It changes with my mood. Every costume I’ve created, I do it because I love the character and admire their qualities - their style, their attitude, their confidence, their strength. They’re like a piece to my puzzle, and when it snaps into place, I feel emboldened. I feel like I’ve leveled up.
Today is a Jessica Rabbit day. I need a little of this feeling right now.
Top and bottom photos are by my wonderful friend Benn at Robbins Studios. The center photo is by my likewise fantastic friend Kevin Green.
The response to my post yesterday was a wee bit underwhelming, given the enthusiasm previously expressed by people. I understand - you need pics to grab your attention. Here they are!
So go check out my new website! Read it. Maybe buy something. I would hate to present a meager check to the fine people at Hero Initiative.
Also, this photo set came from an interview I did. Two for one! Bazinga!

161 Days Left Until Dragon*Con!!!
Today’s Featured Costumer is BELLECHERE!!!
Awww, thanks LJ! I always look forward to seeing you at DragonCon!
A picture says a thousand words, but this says one (two?) to me: Dragon*Con.
In the midst of the holiday season I find myself on a day off (finally!) looking through this year’s and past Dragon*Con photos and thinking about my friends. I miss you all!
Even to those I meet in passing at a convention: if you’ve made me smile, thank you. I wish you a happy and merry holiday season and the best for 2012.
As an aside - I’m still waiting to see a fully functional R2-D2 unit; I demand it to display holograms.
