Spooky Empire Today

It's my first time at this horror themed nerdy convention, and I'm delighted to have an excuse bring out my Halloween tiaras from sweetv crown

Question for ya'll: roller coaster video

I am asking because I've seen a few comments to this effect but I can't decide if it's something that would go over well here.

You know how, at the theme park, they take a photo of you that you can buy? Well at Universal they also take video on some of the coasters (like rip ride rockit and i think the Hulk).

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink

Happy hump day everyone 😆 I got home from Virginia yesterday, slept for 13 hours straight, and now I'm waiting for my hair dye to set so I can wash it out and be gloriously purple again!

[Edited to add an "after" photo of the purple.]

I thought I would ask and see if you guys have any interest in a blog post ...

THE JOY OF YEET!

I couldn't resist sharing this photo I took of my friend (with her permission). We are doing a big purge/declutter and the dumpster arrived this morning. The most enjoyable moment in a purge project is always the Ceremonial First Yeet 😆

Star Trek Swimsuit (intermediate level)

Some extras for the middle tier! 😘

Star Trek Swimsuit (intro level)

My mirror universe trek suit isn't quite done (it still needs the gold sash) but I wore it in the hot tub anyway last night! The rest of the photoset is on the upper tiers :)

Star Trek Swimsuit (VIP level, Part 2)

As promised! This part has most of the video clips

Star Trek Swimsuit (VIP level, Part 1)

I'm not quite done with my mirror universe trek swimsuit (it still needs the gold sash) but I wore it in the hot tub anyway last night.

One of my friends recently gave me a non-electronic badge so I can even wear a badge with it! (My regular badge is Bluetooth and would obviously not so well if it got wet.)

Flights of Fancy

Lots of fun with the editing programs today !

Variations on a Theme

I made the skirt in 1998, the corset in 2021, and the jacket in 2022.. but the outfit needs pockets

Fairy Tale Story Time

Throwback to one of my favorite photos I've ever taken! (As in, I was the person using the camera.) Only three of these are outfits I made (Cinderella, Tinkerbelle, and the gentleman in black regency attire), but they're three of my favorite projects and I'm also really proud of the photo itself. I spent quite a while arrangi...

Throwback

Throwback to earlier this summer. I had a migraine and I was in NO MOOD 😆

Red Dragon Skirt

The rest of the photos are on the upper tiers but I really enjoyed this retro looking edit from tonight's photos

Red Dragon Skirt (middle tier)

I had to get some photos of this before my hair goes back to purple again, it's too much fun

Red Dragon Skirt (VIP level)

The dragon skirt pairs nicely with my smaug corset

Blast From The Past

I found the first renfaire skirt I ever made! Like... 25 years ago. It does not have pockets! I was young and foolish. Should I add them, and film the process as a tutorial on "how to add pockets to skirts you made badly as a teenager"? (Or any skirt with side seams, really. )

Still not as pretty as Thorin Oakenshield

Another orange hair appreciation post before it returns to its proper color this week!

WIP: Velma

Jinkies!

My next costume project is a super fun one with really bright colors... here's a little preview from today's fitting.

Nami from One Piece (public blog)

Sneak peek of the content that my subscribers are getting today! This one is public already but the rest of the photoset is released behind the wall. Enjoy!

Nami from One Piece: Pinups

VIP tier only (and please don't repost them elsewhere, that's just rude). I thought it was fun to have the top of the costume clearly in the background on this main pic!

Nami from One Piece (intro level)

This costume was a fan request, so hopefully you love it! As usual, the rest of the photo set is on the upper tiers :) enjoy!

I actually bought the skirt, because I've been short on time, but then I ended up loving it. It has pockets (there's like, shorts underneath the skirt). So I ordered another one in red for my V...

Nami from One Piece (upper + middle tiers)

Lots of pics from this photoset, so I have enough to split it all the way into 3 sections!

This batch is visible only to the middle and upper tiers. I held back a couple pics for the VIP tier only, and I'll select 1 or 2 of these for the intro level (plus a couple of them are so cute I shared them on insta as well) 2023-10-11 13:00:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Nami costume preview!

I'll post the rest of the photoset tomorrow, but I was excited to show you guys right away so here's a sneak peek

Welcome Newbies

As promised the remainder of last night's photo set :)

Welcome newbies

I'm a little overwhelmed by how many views my stuff has gotten this week! Wow!

I'm working on new content but in the meantime here's a quick little gif from last night (the rest of the photoset on the upper tiers as usual)

New subscribers (or anyone who hasn't already), if you dm me your username on tiktok and/...

WIP: Nami (upper tiers)

As promised!

WIP: Nami cosplay this week

The skirt arrived for my One Piece outfit, and I'm really happy with it. I think I'm going to add the other colors of this skirt to my wishlist (it's kind of hard for me to find skirts this style that work for me so I'm glad it does).

I already have a white t shirt, I need to do the blue stripes tomorrow and then I'm ...

A One Question Survey For You

Now that I'm home I'm getting back to work on catching up on the admin side of things (which will mean more content for you!) and I'm hoping I can get as many of you as possible to answer the following question:

How did you discover my Patreon / become a subscriber?

Please answer as truthfully as ...

Project Estimate for Mme de Pompadour

So last night I sat down with my two best color people and we did some research looking for the right silk fabric for the MdP gown. A ton of research has been done on this particular painting, which makes my job a lot easier at this stage: 2023-09-27 20:15:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Cosplans: Nami from One Piece (by request)

I've gotten SO MANY requests to do this character while my hair is still orange that I actually watched the first episode of the Netflix adaptation of One Piece last night. I like her! I'll do it. Gotta be soon because my hair will change in a couple weeks, so I ordered an orange skirt instead of making one (sacrifices must b...
