So, my parents and I went to the wedding reception on Saturday night. It was at a Chinese place in Queens and it took us an hour to get there because of traffic. The dinner didn’t get off to a really great start for me. By the time the third course had been served, I was starting to feel odd and a trip to the restroom and a look in the mirror showed that my chest and arms were turning pink as if an allergic reaction was starting!
That was rather worrying since I usually can eat seafood (there tends to be a lot at Chinese wedding banquets) without any type of problem but the one time last year that I had a bad reaction to some canned tuna, I ended up looking like roast pig skin. X_X; Anyway, we went outside for air and my mother made me eat a couple of pieces of Chinese ginger candy that she had in her purse. (Her answer to most allergies, it seems.) Went back to the table and thankfully, the pink spots went away after a while.
Also, over the weekend, I got the most recent Nancy Drew computer game “Danger by Design” and have been playing through it. It’s set in Paris at an eccentric fashion designer’s studio. Not sure how much longer I have until the end but I think I’ll wait until I’ve finished to post more about that. They tend to be easy enough for me to finish within a week.
Moving on to cosplay stuff… I cut out lining for the sleeve of the peacock dress and got it stitched together today. I think it came out pretty nice. Despite the slit and the curving hem, I managed to sew it so that all the seam allowances are hidden. Still need to put in eyelets along the sides of the slit for lacing. Hope I can do that right since my costume making attempts usually don’t involve hammers. ^_^;
And is anyone else thinking of applying for cosplay chess at MangaNext?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
