All my text! Gone! WAH??? Tumblr monsters et my words?
Anyway, this is how I met several of the guests at Armageddon yesterday. But when you commit to Alcohol Activted paint you are committed for the day!
Rachi Sitra, Jedi Archeologist. I tried to make the Indy/Solo connection but failed. I have a very Teutonic sense of humour. It needs explaining to others. So dry it is something Rachi would have dug up.
“We’re talking about kissing and I’m still wearing the ears…”
“This is the weirdest Q and A ever.”
“Ahh! I still have the ears on!”wow… i totally forgot i had ears on… and why do i have ears…
only in christchurch.
Ahhhhh, the ears.Yes. pretty sure I got caught out wearing tiger ears presenting the cosplay one year at Christchurch Armageddon (so on stage as well). They are so light aren’t they? So easy to forget you are wearing them. And aren’t they just wonderfully enhappy-nating? They make everyone smile, even the grump who doesn’t really want to admit that they are amused in a good way.
Sorry I didn’t make it to any panel, hope your stay here was nice, if brief and surprising!
“Do you ever think that maybe there’s something more out there?”
“What do you mean, evolution?”
“I don’t know, like, that there’s some greater purpose for all these animals I’m making, other than just eating and pooping and having little animals.”
“I guess I hadn’t really thought about it.”
“I just wonder what the point is sometimes. What’s stopping me from going off the rails and making this sage grouse look completely absurd? Why don’t I just give it demon eyes and ridiculous inflatable chest balloons? Who cares? What difference does it make?”
“Aw, come on, don’t talk like that.”
“Why not? Seriously, I’m going to do it. See if anyone stops me. Bet you they won’t.”
OMG! See, female Turians can haz boobs!
I shall hide now. My own brain hurts and now i don’t know if I can finish Nyreen at all now…
Rachi Sitra progress!
The Obi is actually an underbust corset cut way down. It doesn’t show the effect so much because the mannequin is slimmer than me at the hips and bigger through the waist 😉 But I need it for comfort’s sake: pressure on my ribs is something I avoid as much as possible.
So:
Inner tunic tank tee with welts, sew down the selvage to avoid stretch, then cut on the bias to fit the front. Tall collar is tall and actually is the length of my neck.. ehem, it’ll be scrunched a little so I don’t look like I’m in a brace. It’s a super soft knit faux suede.
To do: face sleeves??? in matching knit to the darker aspects of the costume.
Loose tunic in mechincal stretch crepe with flared and split sleeves, all edged bound in (woven mechanical stretch) faux suede, self made and ironed.
To do: possible hooks and eyes CF
Tabbards in faux suede bound in ditto, shaped at the waist and satin stitched together to reduce bulk
Obi: glazed brown cotton and plain white canvas sewn as one, seam allowances top stitch to create soft support. Dark faux suede bound top and bottom, secondary layer of same stitched down. Obi overlayer/pale decoration cut and sewn by overlocker then hand sewn in place.
To do: hammer holes in the back and gather the obi “wrap” which will hide the lacing but be permanently attached.
Pants: same soft faux suede as the the inner tunic. Terrible back shape so as to stay in place….
Twi’lek headdress: dark faux suede shaped to lower half of head, wide strip of same sewn above and three large pin tucks sewn. Wide elastic threaded through to create the three rows seen in art- but allows for the whole thing to suction to my head.
To do: hooks and eyes at chin and forehead, decorative piece to cover the closure. Cut holes for ear buds/nubbins and see if I can make them small ish.
Lekku: Cleaned and painted purple.
To do: last layer of paint and stripes. Ick. Not looking forward to the stripes.
i just hid 27 of these little bastards around the house
and im waiting for my parents reaction
”WHY THE SHIT IS THERE A CHICKEN IN MY COFFEE CUP”
the first chicken has been found“amiee we think you have a problem” my parents say as they hold 15 tiny chickens in their hands
1000 notes because i terrorized my family with small chickens
I like this person’s sense of humour..yesssss
My friend did something very similar with tiny wooden ducks. They were hard to spot because they were muted colours and I am shortsighted.
“Bug or bird?” was my reaction for a while.
Excellent 🙂 I hope it helps 🙂 Funnily enough if you put Project Runway on mute and just watch the background when they are in the workroom you can pick up a lot of ideas for how to drape and draft :).
Awwwwwww, thank you 🙂 Completely lovely compliments like these just totally make my week 🙂 They are fuel to keep going 🙂
Cakes have gotten a bad rap. People equate virtue with turning down dessert. There is always one person at the table who holds up her hand when I serve the cake. No, really, I couldn’t she says, and then gives her flat stomach a conspiratorial little pat. Everyone who is pressing a fork into that first tender layer looks at the person who declined the plate, and they all think, That person is better than I am. That person has discipline. But that isn’t a person with discipline; that is a person who has completely lost touch with joy. A slice of cake never made anybody fat. You don’t eat the whole cake. You don’t eat a cake every day of your life. You take the cake when it is offered because the cake is delicious. You have a slice of cake and what it reminds you of is someplace that’s safe, uncomplicated, without stress. A cake is a party, a birthday, a wedding. A cake is what’s served on the happiest days of your life. This is a story of how my life was saved by cake, so, of course, if sides are to be taken, I will always take the side of cake.

I love this quote so much I want to frame it to hang in my kitchen.

I’m pretty sure this is my new life philosophy.

Reblogging for fab @eddieizzard and a philosophy I want to live by and rarely do. I usually am the one passing on the cake- though not out of smugness but of shame installed by what people will assume if I have it .
I do though have baby fish (ummm… these are marshmallow coated in chocolate) and hot chocolate at will when I feel really bad/under stress or celebrating. So I go through a lot of each at Armageddon 😉
It’s taken me this long to realize that Obi-Wan is riding a veractyl in Episode III, and they are like all over Belsavis and I watch these movies regularly.
I was soooo excited to see them in game and got very sad that as an Empire player I get to hunt them. Yeah no, Buioware, don’t make me target behbeh ones either…… My bounty hunter especially does not want. Neither does Tykhi.
It’ll be interesting how my behbeh Chiss agent deals with it. So far she and Kaliyo are just shooting their way past anyone in their path including local fauna. I would skirt as many as possible with my BH and Inq 😉
Costumorama!!
SEEE!! Huge ass hooks and snaps. Took a long time to be vindicated but there.
