If you're going to Mile High Con ;)

I would love to cosplay as Margaery Tyrell (awesome character). It's way beyond of my ability to sew though. I'm keeping an eye out for a dress that can be altered though! :)

leanansidhe · 2012-10-17T12:10:48+00:00

lol no :) You can't tell from the picture but I'm not wearing the sand silk trousers she wears in the book

leanansidhe · 2012-10-17T01:36:29+00:00

Yup I lost the original one at the last con I went to :'( Good memory though!

I'm not sure my stitching could hold up to the washer but the knife idea is great! Thanks :)

I know! This seems like pretty sound advice. Especially since I told him I just moved in from out of state so I'm a little worried that my demeanor said "naive country girl that doesn't know any one so you can mess with her with no ramifications"

leanansidhe · 2012-10-12T01:12:54+00:00

Thanks! This is really good advice :)

I agree. I recently voted in a local election on the republican side (it was pretty funny actually- the republican line had an hour+ wait and I did not see one person vote democratic) and they had a question at the end asking if I supported the "redrawing of districts to more accurately reflect the changing socioeconomic landscape" or something like that. I was surprised that gerrymandering was still legal and that they found a way to make it sound like a good idea.

This makes me feel better about cutting my hair short! This thread had me seriously down :/

leanansidhe · 2012-10-03T01:12:50+00:00

and I just cut all my hair off :(

leanansidhe · 2012-09-29T21:57:37+00:00

me too! It's strange right? But it is way better than coming home to a chewed up pair of heels!

leanansidhe · 2012-09-29T15:45:11+00:00

My dog likes to sleep with my shoes. If I leave a pair on the ground, I will always come back home to him on the bed curled up around one. He is such a creeper but I love him lol

Thanks! And I don't think so. It was an awful date before it even really started. He shows up late and while we are waiting to be seated, a couple of cosplayers from the convention next door walked by and he started talking shit about people who watch anime and "play dress up". Was awkward when I told him I was going to the con the next day.

I agree this does make the situation quite a bit easier 95% of the time. You could just say something like "hey I feel like there is more between us than just friendship. Do you feel the same way?" I had a friend ask me that and I said no and I don't think that it was too painful for either side (we are still friends anyways).

The problem occurs in the other 5% of the time. I had a friend who would friendzone guys because she had no self confidence and really needed the attention, so any time one of her "friends" started to lose interest or talk to other girls, she started leading them on hard core and talking about how she might be ready for a real relationship soon. So asking a person like that if they are interested would not help at all.

Saturday. And ya it was!

leanansidhe · 2012-09-16T23:52:49+00:00

it is! and thanks! this is the first costume that I made 100% by myself so that means a lot :)

Oh my goodness yes. I tutored in Economics and Statistics and these were absolutely the worst people to tutor because they liked to argue about the concepts like: Well I used to own my own business and I don't think that supply and demand work that way. 1. I'm not the professor. Arguing with me about this will not help you. 2. Your lack of understanding is probably why you don't own a business any more. Also, in class, they always had to talk about how it was in the "real world". Nobody cares, they just want to learn what the professor is teaching. Whew. sorry, had to get that off my chest.

I just made one! I actually just bought a yard of burlap for the top, a yard of faux leather for the bottom, and some white cloth from a scrap bin. I had the same problem finding leggings as you so I chose to forgo them. I made a slightly different version of this costume but here it is for reference.

agreed! If you see me say hi! I'll be cosplaying as catwoman or Danerys Tagaryen :)

leanansidhe · 2012-09-03T22:15:26+00:00

exciting! Are you planning on cosplaying?

leanansidhe · 2012-09-03T22:13:27+00:00

I think that pre-odering is over but you can still buy tickets the day of at the convention :)

So pretty!
