Took my little sister toy shopping today. After much browsing, she chose a pack of Hot Wheels cars. She wanted to pay so I gave her the money. As we were waiting in line, some dude waiting behind us asks:

“Buying those for your brother?”

My sister gives him a weird look,…

Beautiful.

I wish I was confident enough to do that. I’ve had more than my fair share of “those are boys things” or “hur hur what are you going to do with that, nudgenudge” and been vocal but polite or way too humiliated to say anything.

Most recent:
I buy an E11 Hasbro at half price because it’s a nice base to mod. I go to the counter to pay and see some really cute blingy charms.

Me: Heh, is it funny I want to buy both the uber sparkly blingy charms and the blaster in the same trip.

Counter dude: yeah but only the charms are for you right?

Sigh. I did politely tell him they were both for me, but I’ll just that the gun right now please. I still have plans for the charms, I’ll just buy them another time.

We won’t go into what this other dude did when I bought electronics for my lightsabre. I should have actually reported him for sexual harassment because it went way beyond simply being annoying.

I wish my foundation had a name like this!

I nicknamed my foundation corpse grey because it really did look grey in the bottle. Revlon Colourfast I think it was. Can’t find 000 foundation any more. I use powder only now. Though I have some of that colour match stuff, where it mixes in the pump? I have it set only to pump from one side. The lightest.

Though my medication now has given me so many freckles I look darker than I am. Ditto for the pink cheeks.

back to your regularly scheduled tumblr….

Cosplayer: glittersweet

Yay! always like to see photographers credited 🙂 It’s got me pondering though- how do you credit the costumer if a cosplay was not self made and you are at a convention…. I’ve even had people flat out refuse to say who made their costume.

Hoping against hope to be able to fit Liara in my luggage but the stress is piling up before D*C and I may not be able to make it.

Gosh, she’s gorgeous, I wish I looked like that!

Ms B! I hadn’t seen this set, that’s her as Blind Mag right? Darnnit. If I weren’t so broke I know where to get that elastic and a good fabric substitute…. And my new wig is just so. Add to that a slight resemblance (she has much better cheek bones for one) and booyah!

But no monies and sadly no one at my local Cons would recognise this. That said anyone doign a Repo costume in NZ for Armageddon let me know! SB was one of my earliest influences. Put it down to an obsession with phantom and a kid. It got me into thratre, singing, costume history… So much.

#shaevizla #swtor In case you haven’t seen, I am getting Shae almost totally overhauled for #CVI and #dragoncon Work backwards from here 🙂

Thierry Mugler Haute Couture Fall/Winter 1997: The Chimera Gown

H’oh lawd.
I’ve only seen still images of this before. Seeing it moving is BRILLIANT.

This has been on my inspiration list since forever. The 90s seemed to be the decade for the most amzing theatrical stunt couture gowns. Look at how the model has embraced the whole persona. Thierry Mugler is most certainly one of my major influences in design, which I never make into reality because of cost!

lol! I haz no cheekbones but yeah I have wanted to make her concept headpiece for ages. And the airbrushing on the final design.. wow. Just in awe of the layers of shading and texture…
I have a list of bald characters for if my hair finally all falls out (current mop of curls may not be permanent) and she is on there 🙂

Sigh, actually this one is true, for a given value of true.:

A few sell the stuff doesn’t make it a delicacy here by any means.

There are so many things I could say about this.  So, so many.  More than anything, it horrifies me as a student of journalism that people of the profession have no problem with printing such absurdly, obviously incorrect and non-researched information.  Just… HOW.  How does something like this even happen in this day and age of near-instant access to answers to everything?

Excuse me. I’m just going to pop on my kangaroo and go down the pub to have my daily healthy pint of Horse semen. I dont even.

What.

JSYK non-Australian/NZers…this is kind of incorrect. And by kind of I mean completely. 

Also how was it collected. 

Though I guess they might need it. For breeding and stuff. 

Someone is pulling that journo’ leg big time, in summary. 

W.T.F!?!?!?!
