DragonCon Costumes, A Little Shopping, and a Whole Lot of Moving.

Sorry for the long delay in posts... I've been very busy moving into a new apartment and working at my new job. Because of my busy life and lack of money currently, I'm going to have to cut down my DragonCon costume list this year to two outfits: DJ P0N-3 (Vinyl Scratch) with my concept art to the Left. Crysta (FernGully) Both are super easy and rather girly, which I'm fine with. Plus they're...

Job Interviews, New Haircuts, and Wig Dying.

After what I would consider a very successful phone interview for a job this morning, I was asked for a follow-up face-to-face interview on Thursday. So I go and cut off most of my hair.

A Semi-Review of Arda Wigs

I finally received three new wigs from Arda Wigs today. They were out of stock of Platinum Blonde, so I had to wait about three weeks for them to get a new shipment in.
