CONvergence & Costuming

I went to a local science fiction convention (CONvergence) and it was awesome! There were loads of amazing costumes, lots of people, and a great time to be had. I recommend you to check it out, it's an incredible experience! 

I decided to dress up like Babydoll from the movie Sucker Punch. I made my costume myself, which took almost 20 hours all together. I didn't take pictures during the process because it was about two days before Con and I needed to hurry. However, I took a few while I was wearing it that night. (I apologize for the mirror selfies, but I wanted to share these with you.)

Full costume (minus the extremely uncomfortable shoes)

What do you think? I altered a pattern for the top and used a basic tutorial for the skirt. I based it on this video's instructions but changed a few things to make it more simple. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments. I'm thinking of making another pleated skirt, so I might do a tutorial on that. 

Oh, and one last thing... If you're a geek like me, OWN IT!

Oh Hai Dere!

Hola errybody!

I've decided to take this blog into a bit of a new direction. I won't be strictly posting fashion stuff because I've been doing some thinking on life the universe and everything (yes, I'm a Geek and I'm proud.) and fashion isn't what's extremely important in life. It's just one of the many things that makes life fun. So, my plan is to bring fun into my blog. How that will manifest itself I'm not sure, but I hope to share some of it with you guys. :)

Black Milk = Awesome

My new fav site for when I have lots of clothing money: BLACK MILK!!

They sell leggings, skirts, tops, bathing suits, dresses, body suits, suspenders and shoes. Most of the stuff they have is awesome images printed on fabric, and they have a few geeky categories, including Star Wars, and Middle Earth. (Geeks for the win!) I fell in love with a pair of leggings that just had green pears all over them. Take a look, they are incredibly amazing!

My mom found this awesome dress that she bought my sister for her birthday. It's a white background with a map of Middle Earth across it. AWESOME. You can find it here, because it's totally worth looking at, even if you can't afford it.

The prices are rather large but they have awesome stuff. I love the Star Wars stuff so much! I am definitely planning on shopping this site in the future. 

***The prices are in Australian dollars, which is close to US dollars for those of you who use US dollars, but make sure you check how much more what you buy will cost because the cost will be slightly higher in US dollars.***

This link is to the general site, and they have lots of cool stuff to look through! Go check it out!
