New costume pics

[ladyofthethread]

Yay, ngmaster posted photos from the shoot of Count D’s sister! http://www.ng-master.com/cm/thumbnails.php?album=585 And he actually managed to make me look somewhat photogenic! :-D So many times when I’m looking over photos of myself, I end up going, “Argh! My face doesn’t look that fat in the mirror!” >_< But there’s none of that here. ^_^

Here’s a shot that shows the whole costume. (And if anyone is wondering, I bought the fan for $1 in Manhattan. It was the same as the ones that were selling for $6 in the dealer’s room. LOL)








I'm a little disappointed my purple and hazel contacts didn't show at all in closeups after I went to so much trouble to get them. >_< My purple lenses had to be custom made since my optometrist wanted me to have my toric prescription so I hadn't been able to try on samples beforehand and they turned out to be darker than I hoped. And I got regular hazel contacts later after the optometrist agreed to order non-toric ones for me because I figured it would be weird to have a theatrical yellow lens next to the much more natural-looking purple one. Bah, I wonder if I should just start over with the lenses. I hadn't wanted to get the theatrical ones before because I've read you're only supposed to wear them for a few hours at a time and I wanted to be able to see. -_-

And if anyone missed my last post but would be interested in doing a PSOH group, please comment here: http://ladyofthethread.livejournal.com/109129.html

To those of you headed to Otakon this weekend, have fun! :-)

Thanks. ^_^ Yeah, the costume is okay without being able to see the contacts. I'm just kind of disappointed it looked like I didn't even have color contacts at all when it was such a hassle to get them.
