One costume down - 1 or two more to go! I just finished up David's Leoben costume (Cylon number two - the dude who tried to strangle Adama in the mini-series and held Starbuck captive on New Caprica). Gosh, this was nearly 2 weeks of solid work. One or two days off here and there... but I dove into it on either Monday or Tuesday nearly two weeks ( Read more... )

I had a pretty good time at costume college last week.

I'm trying to get an idea if there are enough Rebel Cheerleaders attending comic-con to plan a little group picture and perhaps any honorary membership presentations. (check the forum to read who some of the suggestions are for HM presentations).

I know Joan and I will be at the con. Jessica is coming to San Diego but doesn't have passes, so at ( Read more... )

I know, I have not posted in ages. I can't get caught up with everything I want to do.

But these were too funny, so I had to share! Hello Kitty inspired Star Wars characters:

Frak, I lost my post. I hate it when this happens. LJ just doesn't like me.

OK, a little birdie told me that benaequee  is working on a BSG costume and I realized, I should probably let my friends know that this week only... ending on Friday May 29th... the Colonial Fleet is accepting memberships to their forum! After this week, no more for the entire year ( Read more... )

One of my friends asked me if I watched CSI last week with 'all the battlestar people'. I was like 'huh?' So, I watched it "on demand" through our cable box. Man, that was funny! A total spoof on Science Fiction conventions & TV shows. The TV show which the episode revolved around was "Astro Quest" (it was Star Trek).  But, some radical guy has the ( Read more... )

I know I have some friends who were contemplating the Rebel Cheerleader uniform. Orders are now taking place at the Rebel Legion and close on May 3rd. They only do runs a few times a year. I'm not sure when the next run will be. These are a lot of work for Beth to coordinate, so I wouldn't be surprised if she has to limit the runs to something like ( Read more... )

Back in like, Nov or Dec, a friend of ours who's a photography major decided to use Star Wars costumers as models for her final project in her digital photo class. Her idea was to take a photo of the model as they really are, then a photo of the individual in their Star Wars costume to sort-of show the transformation. So, I now have some true ( Read more... )

I know I've been very silent lately. I promise, I'll make a WonderCon post some day and a post about costume progress (I'm slowly catching up on things. How did I fall so behind on life? At least half of the post-it notes of  "to do's" are gone from my computer monitor *sigh ( Read more... )

Wow - I just wanted to make a quick post to say that at the last minute (like, last Wednesday) I decided to head down to LA and check out the Battlestar Galactica auction! I was finally convniced to go after checking out the auction web site where they stated that Friday would be a "Preview" day with costumes and props on display - and people could ( Read more... )
