comic-con

I'm sadder than I thought I would be at the prospect of not entering the Comic-Con Masquerade this year. Yeah, it's a huge commitment and a huge timesink, but it's SO much fun. I don't know what I'd do, though. I don't have a group, and no seriously-impressive-enough costumes to enter as a solo entry. As I was saying on kelbebop's journal, Kaylee's fluffy dress could work if I finished it on time, but then I couldn't wear it till Sunday and I don't want to risk not being able to wear it for the Serenity panel. I dunno, if I found a Padme we could maybe do a mother/daughter entry, something about clothes or something? How Leia's clothes are so boring? I could wear my Leia senatorial. Eh, maybe I should just give up on it and enjoy my Saturday.

ETA: Crap. Now I'm *really* becoming enamored of the Leia-Padme skit idea. I could even use one of my evil abandoned Musical costume ideas. Bad Caitlin, bad!

I have the same sadness-feelings. I'd love to enter again, since I had such a great experience at it last year, but due to some health issues in the last year I haven't really had the ability to make a show-stopping costume, you know? Or at least something I'd consider SDCC worthy.

And even if I did have a costume, I'm so horrible at coming up with ideas for skits... :(

I completely get what you mean. I don't think Costume Con would even be worth going to without competing, and I'd really like to do both the sci-fi and historic masquerades next year. I'll probably end up in just the historic again though :)

I think I probably did a fairly good job of getting over my stage fright this year too. It was so awful I was still shaking an hour later. Ugh. Last year tenel got me through it and this year I was on my own. But, I survived and even got an honorable mention for my presentations, so yay. There is a great rush from competing. I just wish more people competed in the historic, having only 16 entries took away from it a bit :)

And I'll email soon-definitely a better idea-but the hip gore directions are a sort of footnote to step 6. Took me forever to find them on my last corset, I knew I had read them, but forgot what an illogical place they were in!

And I want you to know that dress made an appearance in a dream the other night. That hasn't happened with a dress *I've* made yet, so rather odd :)
