Modcloth has such cute bathing suits, but I don't go swimming often enough to justify spending the money on one. They charge as much for a one-piece as they do for a whole dress.

I've got the outfit. Still need the makeup and accessories.

My Mythic Feiya cosplay is progressing! I put together the headdress today, and I believe I have all the components of the outfit proper. I still need to acquire a plush fox, decide whether or not I want to make her staff, and select an appropriate perfume ( Read more... )

The corset for my Mythic Feiya cosplay arrived today. The decolletage is a bit lower than I'd anticipated, so I'm either going to halve to find something appropriate to wear underneath (a lightweight peach top in leotard fabric?), or practice my Bunny Dip so I don't wind up flashing the vendors every time I pick something up ( Read more... )

Because I had so much fun with my Calliope Halloween costume about a year and a half ago, I've decided to make another attempt at cosplaying. I'm doing Mythic Feiya from the Pathfinder RPG. To be honest, I mostly chose this because the Pathfinder illustrators like extremely detailed and improbable outfits, and this looked like one of the easier ( Read more... )

Halloween is coming up, and I'm trying to decide on a costume. So far my top two choices are the Whore Of Babylon (purple dress, purple and red accessories, lots of costume jewelery, a sticker on my forehead that says "MYSTERY: Babylon the Great" and maybe a stuffed toy Seven-Headed Beast made out of socks if I'm feeling ambitious) and Rule 63 ( Read more... )

A guy at the Game Matrix once told a friend of mine that I dressed like an Amish person. I'd think that "pseudo-Fundamentalist LDS Hippie" would be more accurate myself, but I suspect that John's not enough of a fashion geek to care about the difference between pseudo-17th century and pseudo-19th century styles.

Because I'm not optimistic about the chances of finding Elegant Gothic Aristocrat/steampunk/pseudo-Victorian stuff in my size at a local thrift shop - even if one expands the definition of "local" to include the higher-end ones in Seattle - and under my current financial circumstances I can't really justify spending a hundred dollars for a dress, ( Read more... )

I have a character with strong bioelectric powers (she also has tentacles, a cute girlfriend, and a love of overly elaborate superweapons, but these are not immediately relevant). Since I'm the sort of person who gets compulsive about petty worldbuilding details before I have more than a few shreds of plot, I want to know what kind of underwear ( Read more... )

I sent in an application for a job today. (Actually, I sent it last night, but due to computer issues had to do it again this afternoon.) Since I don't know how many other applicants there are and just what standards the library system holds its prospective pages to, I don't have my heart set on this particular position, but it feels good to have ( Read more... )
