dancerjodiMy Lady Tusken dress, mask and birka (for lack of a better description) is finished, whoot!
I have dance class tonight, but Brian is going to make me the pouch and make my clothes dirty (read: airbrushing brown and black paint in spots to make it dirty) while I'm out. After that all that's needed is gluing some fabric on the canvas shoes I'll be wearing and cutting a ton of strips of fabric to wrap around my ankles, calves and arms. The comments were flying last night about how unsexy this outfit is. The next thing I sew will have curves!
Apparently the Rebel Legion made an ass of itself at the parades in Disney this past weekend. You know, its a few lazy or stupid shits that give the group the reputation it has, and its really annoying! Looking at video last night, none of the pilots had helmets, one of them didn't have a chest box, there was a character wearing some kind of brown dress that was nothing like anything movie canon (which was a limitation of this event, being at FRICKEN DISNEY it was a formal event and all). Most of the Jedi were OK, but there were definitely a few that were unkempt. Geez guys, and we wonder why the 501st is taken more seriously? The level of activity in our own Rebel Legion base has been low, with the same people doing things all of the time (its not really fair to those people, you know)? It sucks, because I generally prefer to make rebel costumes (being more of a sewing person than an armor/props person), but the groups are just so frustrating! The main Rebel Legion website sucks major ass, and its been "in development" for years. It was supposed to be done by C3, then by DragonCon last year, now who knows what's going on. So much for good communication, organization and all that! It hurts my brain to be involved with groups of geeks sometimes, because they generally aren't organized by definition (and I'm just a compulsive organizer).
Ah well, we're going imp this weekend and Brian and I will have fun in all of our dirty, sandy glory!
