Well, compiling my cosplay list for Doctor Who/Torchwood...I have many Amy outfits...go figure.  This is mostly for the con, to see what I have and what I need and to help me finalise decisions on costumes.

( Cosplay list )

So, NYCC is approaching fast and I have been insane with preparing for that and doing school work.  I have been deciding costumes and putting one special one together ( Read more... )

So massive update (dunno if anyone cares, but I do).

Finished the sleeves...got a fake bow, which is now covered in clay (for shape and I can make it look carved)...got shoes...and a furry prop.

( Costuming beyond )

So, my Merida costume is coming along.  I've sewn the lower sleeves and one set of the strips of clothe that holds the sleeves together.  It took me less time to make sleeves (40 mins for the whole thing, both hems and a seam) than it makes for the strips (40 to sew one side...and I made four of them tonight...).

So: choices are Time of Angels/Flesh and ( Read more... )

So, bought my ticket for Gallifrey One two weeks ago and I'm already trying to plan my costumes.  I already decided to use my stable CoE Gwen costume and possibly Time/Space Amy (it's easy and the con is in LA).  I want a third costume and for Gwen, preferably S2...unless I get that shirt to do Ghost Machine Gwen.  My con badge name does say Gwen

So, Day 1 of the con went fairly well.  I went to two panels, Classic Who (but had quite a bit about New Who) and Nana Visitor.  I think my favourite was Nana, because she was very funny and lively.  And the things she said about Torchwood was great, especially John.  John Barrowman never ceases to amaze me.  She spoke fondly of him, saying how ( Read more... )

Serious lack of updates...I know ( Read more... )

So, taking a quick break from studying Japanese, because I have a chapter test tomorrow.  Just doing an update, since I haven't done one in forever ( Read more... )
