I'm Back,Bots!

Wheee, so I've been gone for quite some time. Almost a month if I remember correctly. Off the bat, so sorry to all my little bots that still follow me. But if you have followed me on Tumblr, Twitter, or Instagram you would have seen all my progress photos of that damn Ivy costume plus some more awesom things.

What other awesome thing you might ask? Well for starters I hacked off all my hair.

Yup, I was sick of the dead/split ends and weight of the hair when I washed it. Truth be told I told no one and I wasn’t originally going to be this short. Ah fuck it. Hair grows.

This past month I was finishing up the trailer for the documentary i'm going to be working on this May. That is all finished up, had a few tweaks but over all it turned out great. You can watch the trailer here:

For a majority of the past 2 weeks before Emerald City Comic Con I was working on that damn Ivy costume. It took for ever to sew every leaf by hand onto the body suit and hand stitch the embroidery as well. The night before I went I was stitching on the embroidery to the suite. To be honest, I'm not 100% happy with the costume. There were some more embroidery that need to be done and added, as well as add more pizazz to the bustle as well. But for a first showing it was ok. For the pictures I saw I see that I really need to lose weight. Hot damn, those thunder thighs. But it was good to see my self in that light and to motivate myself to losing weight again.

So I premiered Poison Ivy on Saturday, here are some of the pictures and you can view the full album of un-edited pictures on my flicker site here: Poison Ivy

The amazing Mikozilla in her fem Varric

My man bought a back up costume for me just incase I couldn’t get together. It was a Harley Quinn from Arkham City. I had a lot of fun with this costume, might make a better one for Pax Prime if I have time. Here are some pics of her and a link to the flicker album: Harley Quinn

The low points of the con were:

• saying goodbye to my friend Katie who is moving down to California for school
• almost being hit by a car while crossing in the cross walk with it was green.
• Having the most shittiest waitress in all the land at the Hard Rock Cafe, it was so bad we didn’t even leave her a tip. We never do that but when you ignore us for the entire time we are there and give my boyfriend an attitude when as for the check, you don’t deserve one bitch.

Last week was con recovery, and getting my man ready to go over to London on a business trip for a whole week. I'm sad he is gone this week but I'm more upset at myself for not going over there. * sigh* I guess this means I just have to save up money for the next couple of years so I can go over and have a kick ass time in England... maybe try to attend London Comic Con while I'm there as well...

This week I'm hanging with the cats, trying to find a part time job, and try not to go crazy while my man is away in London.

Hair Change

Good Monday little bots, hope you are all enjoying this Labor Day weekend before you go back to school or work. Both PAX and Bumpershoot is wrapping up today, so no more obnoxious teens and young 20 passing by my apartment coming to/from Bumpershoot! With the kids going back to school and summer winding down I can finally relax and not yell at people to move away from my window at 1 in the morning.

This past week has been uneventful, mostly been working on vamping up my resume and cover letters. Since it was so boring I decided to change up my hair. On Wednesday I decided to do the hair color my mom has been wanting me to do for the past two years... ombre hair... in green... so I would look like a tree. I had to go to two different stores, both of which were on the opposite ends of town for the bleach kit that I have used in the past. To achieve a true ombre hair I should have gone to a professional but fuck it I was on a budget of under 30 dollars. Over all I was pleased with my outcome.

I ordered the green dye online so I had to wait two days before I could dye the ends green. The dye I used was Manic Panic Green Envy, it was the darkest green I could find with out it being to turquoise. Once it arrived on Friday I immediately put it on the ends of my hair and a little bit into the brown parts as well. I usually leave bright colored dyes in for at least two hours on dry hair so it can absorb into the strands of hair. Washing it out in a cold shower, I was afraid it would all wash out, but to my amazement it stayed in! And now I have this fabulous shade of green in my hair. I love putting it up, it does resemble a tree.

For the rest of the weekend, my man and I stayed in avoiding the crowds of people and the hassle to get any where in the city. I did make these amazing doughnuts that are doughnut muffins! They are so good and addicting, you can find the recipe here: Doughnut Puffs

While I was a little sad not attending to PAX Prime this year, I am looking froward to Emerald City Comic Con next year. I really need to start working out hard core again, starting now. Those doughnut muffins were my last temptation! See you guys Friday for a rant or something.
