Observations on costuming for DragonCon.

[featherynscale]

The number of things that I do not need to acquire in order to go to DragonCon is staggering. Even if I try to talk myself into some of them. For instance, ponytail falls. Seriously. I could make that. With dreadlocks and machine parts and shiny copper wire, even. Maybe next year.

I keep thinking of doing a wind-up doll costume. Maybe next year. Surely I could justify ponytail falls for that. And perhaps petticoats. (Yes, my tendency to Dress Like A Girl does increase as Con approaches. At any other time of the year, anyone who suggested I should dress like a wind-up doll would likely have to exit, stage left, with a broken nose within about thirty seconds. This probably doesn't bear a lot of analysis.)

Also, the power of procrastination is amazing. In the pursuit of avoiding doing anything like sewing on the Promethea costume, I made the shoulder pin for the outfit and picked out the wig I want. I've been avoiding these tasks for some days now, apparently waiting until there was something that I needed to do, that I wanted to do less than them. Rock. So I'm guessing I'll get the skirt made about the time that the toilet needs cleaning.

There was probably some of that in it. Also, we ended up spending most of the day doing prep for the Lammas ritual. And we weren't sure when or if you'd be home, so it just did not come together at all. :(

On the upside, we seem to have acquired a sewing machine now, so we won't have to bother you about it anymore :) Just need to set the machine up...
