Lunatics and Princesses

Life has been psychotic.

I did the costumes and makeup for "Bitten"- that being the Binghamton University Circus Arts Association's Halloween play/spectacle/extravaganza thing. The show was awesome; everyone did such a spectacular job! It was a huge hit with the audience and what's more, there were only five empty seats in the house and there were people sitting in the aisles. Yayyyyy!!!!

The costumes were simple, but cool. Cat and I dyed canvas in different colors and sewed it onto tshirts in designs representing water, fire, and air. We dyed undershirts for the fight scenes. I made a pair of "transformation pants" to go over Edwin's stilts, and while they weren't perfect, they weren't bad... especially considering that this was the first time I've made a pair of pants in my life!

Quinn and Tom came down to see the show. Quinn debuted his Pyramid Head cosplay, which was a hit with everyone who saw it. He got so many looks and points and OMGS! as he walked across campus- everyone was so impressed. Tom was also a hit in his "ninja pretending to be a pirate" outfit. Heeeee. Yosra and I wore saris for our bollywood theme. I got accused of dressing as Betsy Ross by a fratboy giving drive-by costume critiques.

Yay Halloween!!!

I wound up taking two Benadryl last night because I had this headache that just would. not. leave. As a result of this, my head no longer hurts but I lack the energy to do anything at all. So far I've gone to the dining hall, and I'm wiped out.

Obviously, skipping Circus Arts. I'm tired and loopy enough that a) I don't have the energy to lift my arms over my head, and if I did, I'd b) give myself a concussion with the poi. This kind of sucks, as it's the last meeting of the semester.

Gotta study Latin anyway, dammit. Final's on Tuesday.

Also have to get everything together for con. We have to buy our tickets online by the 16th, or wait and buy them when we get there. That's not too much of a problem, but who the hell wants to wait on line in the cold? Suckage.

I'm pretty excited about what I'm doing. I'll post pictures when it's done and also WIP pics; I'm going to leave it as a suprise till then, though. All I'll say for right now is that it involves some welding and a good bit of actual engineering, and that it will trump any ----------s that happen to be floating around in the cosplay world.
