Oh teh angst =O

So anime Boston was a no go for me, and it only got worse.

Remember how I smashed part of my tooth in Katsu? Last week it finished coming off. The fake part, at least, when I smashed into a door.

Here's the problem.

My *actual* tooth had to be filed down when I got the fake covering. The thing is, by filing it down, it exposed eeeeeevery single nerve on that fucker. I was heavily anesthesized for the procedure, mind. Hurt like a bitch, too. Getting a needle shoved into the top front of your gum. But anyway. The covering covered all those exposed nerves, so I couldn't feel them. But when the fake part finished coming off, and my real exposed and filed tooth was out in the open? Haaaah. Now THAT was fun. Fucking *air* hurt. And it only got better. I had to take this paste thing that's like an anesthetic, but at home. Powerful stuff. So, sure, the pain would go away for brief periods of time, si I had to KEEP re applying it, but fucking hell. I couldn't talk right, couldn't eat right. Goodbye solid foods. Even after the procedure was done I had to be on it for a bit. It's better now, but I'm fucking pissed I missed AB. This is what I get for moving faster than thinking.

Also.

I just got rick rolled via phone. Landline, on top of that.

I feel like I've leveled up in memes or internet or something. Fuck yeah.

ALSO.

Alias was a fun little series. I just finished marathoning the series.

Well. Most of it. The last two seasons were laughably bad, which is why I watched them.

Not everyone! Go watch Reaper! strike>Missy Peregrym, read, hottest woman alive, is on it.</strike> Only because Kevin Murphy, fucking Kevin Murphy, is the producer! Yeah, that's totally the only reason I watch that show. Totally. Yep.

And if you don't know who Kevin Murphy is, well then. Infidel.

Things that went wrong in Katsu:

-Thursday the front of my teeth broke off. My teeth are all fake in the front because of how many times I broke them, as well as due to a huge gap between my two front teeth. When we were out for dinner thursday, the front cover of my teeth that covered the gap there fell off. This one day before the photoshoots.

- I came out looking horrible in all my chii pics because I was purposely trying to smile nicely/look innocent when someone told me I was smirking. This caused me to look perpetually frightened.

- I lost the choker for the Tonks costume. Also didn't have time to do the make up for the Tonks photoshoot, likely making me look washed out as all hell.

- Did not get pics of my Serenity costume, Death Eater costume, Black Freya costume or Andromeda costume because I left early.

- The room I was in ended up being overcrowded, meaning I lost a lot of stuff.

- Saturday my hair was greasy as hell after I took off my wig. Did not realise this until _after_ I'd met a bunch of people.

- Ended up leaving saturday and partially regretting it as I didn't get the chance to hang out with Paul like I wanted to, as well as two chicks I RP with.

- Now trying to go to anime Boston to make up for all of the above. Not sure whether I ask for a room or get a room since the only rooms available have a queen bed. And the AB discount is off. Anyone have room?

FUN FAX FOLKZ

Wig Wefting is, in fact, a curse from the Gods and proof that the universe hates you!

Hot glue will, in fact, melt your finger prints off!

You will, in fact, need 190000 miles of extensions before you get a quarter of the way done!

Extension hair will, in fact, get everywhere except inside your needle!

It also frays and jumbles and knots three seconds out of package!

HAVE FUN FOLKS

Topic: "Serenity wig DEATH" 22 Jan 2008|03:17pm


I AM LE SAD. And le bloody surprised.

So I got the white wig to weft for serenity, right? Last step, I just needed the extensions.

So I go to DRlocks? They don't have them in white.

Minor freakout, but whatever. I got to Amphigory.

They don't have them in white.

Both out of stock, what are the odds? D: This is really depressing since I really wanted to wear this to a con (this is a beautiful, beautiful serenity dress I commissioned from Beverly a few years back. Seriously, words cannot convey this dress. I even took it to Brasil to show the family who knew my childhood obsession with SailorMoon, and got shoes to match and everything. I was even making a capelet for the cold.)

I could never commission the wig itself since I just couldn't bring myself to dish out $200+ on a wig, so I had to put it off until I found it in me to try wefting. AND NOW THE TIME HAS COME AND THERE IS NO HAIR TO WEFT D:

Any of you know any place where they might have the extensions?

After literally having half my thumbnail ripped off in bloody spendor trying to undo a few of the snaps in Tonks' jacket, I decided to take a break.

Okay. I am totally, totally cosplaying from Princess Tutu at one point. I mean, sure I am going to look ridiculous in a tutu and sure I'll break everything in my surrounding trying to go en pointe, but come on. If only for the Ducky jokes alone. I just want to go around ":( But I'm just a duck."

All of you reading this will stop to go out and watch Princess Tutu. That's right, I'm talking to you. Not the other people, you. If anything, it's totally worth it as the plot can be simply summarized by the fact that in the second episode the main guys' girlfriend is an evil giant ant eater in a tutu who takes out her revenge on her love rival with her evil ballet prowess.

You know, I kept putting the series off because I thought it would be blatant shoujo fluff, but you know, it really, really surprised me. The plot ended up being a helluva lot more in depth than I would have thought at first, then by the end of the second season.. Well. And I did not see that ending coming. That ending was relatively tragic, I thought. Just a couple of things I didn't get:

-So wait. If Ahiru is Odette and Mute Sigfried, Is the Raven meant to be Rothbart and Rue Odille? Or is Fahkir meant to be Sigfried?

-They really like to throw the term 'princess' around in this, don't they? Fine, so Claire is princess of ravens, I suppose. But what exactly is Princess Tutu princess of? And more importantly, where is King Tutu? I think that has many possibilities of man-tutu win. Think One Piece.

-So he's a raven, she's duck. Their love is so.. Allergy inducing? Disease spreading? Feathery? On every hobo's menu? Psh, whatever. AhiruxFahkir OTP.

Watching this is like the world's biggest drug test and you find yourself saying things you never thought you would. "That is a goat. And that is a tutu. And that is totally a goat in a tutu." "Those. Are meercats. In little sailor uniforms. Talking." "And that is dancing armadillo." "HOLY SHIT BALLERINA ALLIGATOR." "PIANO PENGUIIIN." It's.. Quite an experience, actually.

Edit: Sloth in a pink leotard alert.

( Tonks Costume, Part 1: Tonks Wig, as told by a Complete Lunatic )

As many of you noticed, I took the past year off from cosplay. Sadly, I jumped way too quickly in the conventions, and for someone who didn't have a past of seriously sewing, that quickly showed itself to be a bad idea. With every con it was a deadline, and instead of focusing on making the best job I could, I focused on making the *fastest* job I could. This was not a good idea, and every costume that started out great, ended up.. Embarassing. So I took the past year to be convention free to get more comfortable with my sewing skills, making all sorts of projects without worrying they were going to be crap or not so that if they were crap, I had all the time in the world to simply re do it. I was going to AUSA last year, but due to certain events, couldn't make it. So one year on the potato as my last con was katsu last year, I return to the con circuit. Along with my usual ( but new) Chii parade and a few Padmes, this year we'll have a new runner up. Now practicing sewing was one thing, but it was before AUSA that I realized I had no *FUCKING* clue how to style a wig. Considering I had a photoshoot with a friend coming up who is mind numbingly talented with wigs and costumes, it wouldn't be fair to her after all the work she put into her own costume if I showed up looking entirely half assed. So let's follow my adventures in the world of styling my first wig, and for all of you with experience in the matter, any help would be fantastic.

So this is The Adventures and Misadventures of how to Properly Beat Up A Wig, or How I Stopped Paying Attention to Rules of Attractiveness and Followed the Lead Set By the Stylistically Challenged Hair and Make Up Department of Warner Brothers.

Since this is my first time styling a wig (that isn't half assed), any help and comments would be appreciated.

So I enjoyed that way more than I should have. Enjoyed basically doing everything you're not meant to do. Abuse of hair spray? Check. Shaking the wig every three seconds to make it all messy?

Oh yeah B)

Now, deflate my ego a little and give me some more hints, anyone? Bueller? Should I darken it a weee bit more with grey? Or try again with a lighter wig? Is it too curly? Should I make it a bit straighter and poof-it up again?

This is all me biding time for the serenity wig and extensions to get here. Next up, WEFTS! OH THE HILLARITY!

:::ATTENTION EVERYONE WITH A MYSPACE PAGE::
(from the SA forums)

Tonight over 75,000 phished and stolen passwords have been released by *channers (calling themselves Anonymous and blaming it on Ebaumsworld, as always). They seem to be releasing the accounts in some form of javascript-rich HTML page, which automatically logs you in as you select your targets. I must admit, it's pretty well made considering where it's coming from. There's an easy to read mirror (most of them seem to be rapidshare uploads of the pages themselves) here: http://bspayce.googlepages.com/, and here: http://sup2u.com/myspays/.

Considering we're on page two and already figuring out how to change background pictures to goatse and reading people's private messages and posting them (because, frankly, they're hillarious and we're assholes), I'd suggest changing your password before the goonrush. Not to mention, at least we goons only go after the pedos and the crackcases. However, it was the /b/tards that released this, meaning 4chan is already all over it.

Also, Jesus. How many people have password1 fuckyou1 and random1 as passwords? Christ. My shamallamadingdongjdkfslfd is safe5

Still with me?.....Why? Anyway. A lot of days you wont see a post, that might be because its friends only because Im afraid of starting a bit of a riot. If your really curious, just drop me a note and I'll friend you. If theres anything you need or want to know, just ask ^-^
