So I had about two paychecks where I had some left over money after rent and bills. I immediately put it away in a savings account so I can afford Comic con tickets when they come out and I spent some money on geeky shirts from Qweertee, TeeFury, and Threadless. But now the state of Oregon feels that I owe them money and my student loans are coming up to bite me in the ass so I might be pretty strapped for a couple of months. But hey, at least I have my Comic Con money stashed away. And no matter what happens, I'm probably going to spend a ton of cash at BathAndBodyWorks.com on Black Friday because it's a tradition and I don't care how poor I am I NEED TO TREAT MYSELF TO GIRLY FOO FOO GOOD SMELLY STUFF just once a year, ok? And it's almost that time of year and I'm pretty excited.
*sigh*
Speaking of comic con, I really really really want to Cosplay as Deanerys. Specifically, this costume outfit:
The problem is that I don't have the skill necessary for that top. I just love how elegant the top is compared to the Dothraki garb under it. And I could totally do the Dothraki stuff. It's just a brown/leather skirt and boots (the boots would be a new challenge for me, but I could probably do it). But that top? I haven't cosplayed in almost a decade and when I did it was "ghetto cosplay" where I basically just found clothes in thrift stores and altered them to suit my needs. I don't think there'd be anything remotely like that top anywhere and I'd have to start from scratch.
This another top of hers I love that puts to use the whole gorgeous top+Dothraki skirt thing. I just really love the contrast. Maybe this top would be easier, but it's still way beyond my skill level.
*sigh sigh sigh*
Anyway, if I get tickets I'm going to sit down and consider if putting this together is actually feasible. I used to love to cosplay and I haven't in so very very long. And Comic con is a very very special place so I feel like I just have to. We'll see I guess.
