sorting out comic-con costumes

[jaina]

I'm trying to plan out what I'm wearing at SDCC and what still needs making. It's a little difficult because I don't know which days are which panels and which days I'll be volunteering at the LFL booth and thus will need to be in a SW costume. But as it stands:

Costumes that are made:

• Leia senatorial - needs a belt (metal purchased, need to get white vinyl) and hairpieces (need to buy fake hair)
  
• Padme family - needs a headpiece (need to buy fun foam and paint), if time permits should be dyed darker
  
• Sith cheerleader - wearable as-is
  
• Zoe - backup if Serenity panel is earlier than Sunday; wearable as-is, but a new vest would be nice

Still to make:

• Kaylee's fluffy dress - lots to do here. Hoopskirt is on its way, beginning corset muslin. Major project.
  
• Mal's browncoat - for sirrogue, don't know of what fabric yet (cheap suede/suede fabric needed!). Other major project.
  
• Ravenclaw student uniform - have almost all fabrics, would be fun for book opening but don't know when I would wear it. Low priority.

So, only two major major projects. That's not too horrible. If I work steadily, I should be okay. Of course I'm not the greatest at working steadily.

Costumes!

Randomly enough, Amy emailed me last night, wondering if you were still interested in doing a costume for her for ComicCon. (I can't remember what it was...Battlestar Galactica? She was very excited to find a costume idea that didn't involve being a size 0 or having ginormous boobs.) She also commented, "I pay well". Hee!

Speaking of which, how much do I still owe you for the materials for my wedding dress? If you know offhand, I can send a check down with Dan tomorrow and he can give it to Kris at the weekly game. I should have the official (and digitally cleaned up) pictures from the photographer next week, so you can pick out images you would like for your portfolio.

Wheee!

Ack! Amy! Argh...I would like to say yes, but honestly I don't think I'll have the time. I think the pink fluffy is going to just suck up all the time I have. :( Which sucks because I really *would* like to try my hand at the uniform.

Re: dress, I'll email you.
