Weekend

[ladyofthethread]

Well, the weekend started a bit roughly for my family. My grandmother hit her arm in the bathtub on Friday evening and had to get x-rays to make sure nothing was broken. She was at the hospital with my mother and uncle until 1AM and my father went to check up on them since it was past midnight and they hadn’t called home. Fortunately, nothing was fractured although she did have some bad bruises and pain. We’re letting her rest and my mother is bringing her meals up to her so hopefully she’ll feel better soon.


In costume news, I’ve finished the bodice of my fairy costume except for some detailing on the sleeves. I’ve got fabric for the overskit/train but not enough for the skirt so I’ll have to go fabric shopping before I can do that part. Maybe, sometime this week. Should check some bead and trim places for ideas on what to do for accessories, too.

And my brother gave me some photos from NYAF so I finally have more Eugenie pics to post. He’s still working on some black and white film ones. The hat turned out to be my favorite part of the costume and I thought this was an interesting shot with it.






















Still have to figure out what I’m doing for Halloween. I’m hoping to do some photos since my brother gets out of class around noon that day and I can meet him in the city afterwards. But undecided about what to wear.

Your brother is a really good photographer. I love that outfit so much.

Was he the boy with you most of the time at NYAF?

Thanks. :-)

My brother was wandering with his friend a lot of the con but we did run into you a few times when we were together. (He had glasses and was carrying around a film camera in addition to his digital camera.) Should I ask him for the pics he got of you? I know he got a couple of your Yin and one of you with Team Osaka. He doesn't normally post pics himself so the only ones that make it online are the ones he passes on to me.

Wow that is sexy! Keep rockin that hat and heels! :D
Your brother's photos are always impressive!

[ladyofthethread.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-)

I sort of wish my heels weren't that high; they're supposed to be lower but I found base shoes that were otherwise the right style for $5 and couldn't turn that down. XD;

Wow, those are some really awesome photos! :) The hat does add a lot of personality to the costume, and the contacts you have are so pretty! I love that color.

And I agree with the others: your brother is a great photographer!

[ladyofthethread.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :-) Yeah, I like the contacts, too.

Nice costume, I really like the hat too. What brand are the contacts you are wearing? They show up really well in photos, I imagine they would look quite freaky in person XD

[ladyofthethread.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-)

The contacts are ColorMax in Aqua. (I also wore them with my Cecelia costume.) I ordered aqua instead of regular blue because it was brighter and I thought it would show better on my dark eyes as a result. But, yeah, it can look kind of freaky in person since they're so bright. XD;

I'm glad that she didn't fracture anything! I hope she feels better soon.

The photos are lovely! The costume looks so fantastic (and I love the fun designs on the hat/shoes).
