A bit of babble and more pics

[ladyofthethread]

Let’s see… Yesterday, my mother had jury duty so I ended up going to the court with her since she doesn’t know English and it was for the civil court, which she hadn’t been to before. She didn’t need me to stay after finding the room and getting her settled so I went out and browsed at Barnes and Noble for a while. Then, went into the city and picked up a few more little things to use on the new D costume. And I made a nice find at the cheap shoe store in the Manhattan Mall. I got a pair of knee high white boots for just $6! :-D They’re not great quality and half a size too big but at that price I figure it doesn’t matter much since they’ll only be for costume use. Now, I can wear my Sarah costume without the netting in the underskirt eating my pantyhose!

Unfortunately, when I got home, there was a juror questionnaire in the mail for me so I’ll probably end up getting called myself in the next few months. (My mother was lucky and got dismissed around 1.) Hmm… And tax returns are due next week. Not looking forward to that either.

On the bright side, I’ve been able to get a pattern altered for D’s coat without too much trouble. Maybe, I can get the fabric cut and the main construction done this weekend.

And I have more pictures to post since my brother finally gave me Kaleido Star photos from AB. ^_^




Trying to be cute, I guess. I don’t think I quite succeeded. ^_^;




I don’t like the ones we took at the Sheraton as much but I’ll put up a few since I don’t think I’ve posted a full length pic of this costume yet. I think by that point, I was just like, “I’m tired and these shoes hurt” so I didn’t look especially happy. -_-;

Thanks. :-) I was trying to make it appropriately circus-y looking and was rather pleased with how it all came together.

Good luck with not getting jury duty (or at least getting dismissed early if you do get stuck with it)!

The photos are lovely ♥

Sarah <333. I need to do Kaleido Star cosplay ahhhhh!

That would be neat. It'd be cool to have other characters to take pics with. ^_^

I am not familiar with this character, but the costume is lovely!
