Just back from a preview of Stardust-- SO AWESOME!!! We also won a copy of the book at the screening, which I know, the movie's quite different, but I'm very much looking forward to reading it. The movie was wonderful, and I can't wait to go again and ogle the costumes some more! The blue dress will be mine, oh yes, precious.

And last night my official Sith Cheerleader outfit came, wooohooo! A few alterations need to be made, but it looks fantastic and I can't wait to wear it in a group at D*C! Gotta figure out which direction I want to take-- punk, goth, prep, etc. I did buy some clip-in red extensions, but I think they might be the wrong shade of red. Of course I wore it around the house for like an hour, and sirrogue put in the Bring It On DVD and we ended up watching all of it, naturally. God, I love that movie.

Been a busy week so far-- we saw the Red Sox lose to the Angels (boo!) on Monday night; on Tuesday we helped jencallisto, lemurtanis, and yandros with their Giant Moves of Doom (never again the 5x5 Ikea Expedits!); Wednesday was for laundry, but then we also ended up going back over to pick up some more stuff that lemurtanis and yandros awesomely gave to us; and then today we camped out in line for Stardust for a couple hours, then saw the movie. Phew! Tomorrow night is cleaning the upstairs, which should *mostly* get the house back in order. (Like the icon says, "Costuming: the real reason your house is such a fucking disaster.") And Saturday morning is my haircut and color in prep for D*C. (Has to be this weekend-- I still have to go on business trips to San Jose and Portugal before D*C. Ack!)

In conclusion, here's the ACParadise video of our Rebel Dreams skit-- it's a full-stage view from the audience, rather than the "official" video, so it doesn't have any strange closeups that don't show the choreography.

What color are you doing your hair? Anything fun? I am going to get blue for the first time ever.

I'm doing it the weekend before, though, so hopefully the blue will hold up long enough to look cool at D*C.

Woo hoo! D*C!!

Nothing "fun" necessarily; I'm going to go a little blonder and a little more layered to get my POTC Elizabeth hair looking right. Oh-- hell. I was going to have Rogue print out some color pictures at work to take in as references! Guess I'll have to stop at Kinko's tonight.

Boo, Red Sox losing! I'm also totally jealous of you for going to the game. I know I just went to a game in Fenway. I'm still jealous.

Also, I'm going to see Stardust tonight.

Yay Stardust!

Yay Davy Jones's bucket!

Booooo Sox losing. :(

You haven't read Stardust? Is there actually a realm in which I outgeek you? :)

I am very very behind in reading Uncle Neil's stuff. I got totally bogged down by Anansi Boys and I think that screwed me up a bit.

But hey, now we have a free book that we didn't already own!

I am about 1 day of work away from being
done with all my costume stuff.
My costume bud and I will be Admiral Caine
and President Roslin. We also each have general
BSG officers uniforms. And we might even drag out
the dress grays.
I am really looking forward to
the Parade this year.
it coming up so fast.

I don't know what group I'm going to march in for the parade-- that's something you have to commit to ahead of time, right? Yipes.

hey, what "official" Sith cheerleader outfit? How could anything improve on your original one?
(okay, maybe fluffier, laser-beam-shooting pompoms, or a lightsaber-baton...)

but still! I love your original one!
