1913 Journal des Dames et des Modes Costume Parisiens "Costumes pour un ensemble" by Boutet deMonvel ~ from lamodeillustree


Random thoughts:
---- I'm going to Fanime, Anime Expo and ComicCon (as usual) but....

---- I'm going back to DragonCon this year. XD

---- I'm going back to Costume College, too. I love that it's featuring 18th century this year! I hope I can get into the Robe à la Française draping class... and hopefully some of the big-bouf-wig classes. That would be fun! (kinda wish I'd signed up for stomacher embroidery, but oh well...) Judy's going, too, and we're both going to the Gala (also 18th century themed). I'll probably wear my burgundy Robe à la Française with a different petti and stomacher.

---- left-over chicken korma is SO GOOD.

---- my scalloped pinking shears came! I ended up getting them on ebay, actually. Look for Fiskars 9791 Fabric Scallop Pinking Shears. Goodluck! I pinked and fraychecked my sleeves, dustruffle and maybe about 1/3 of the trim. Got some stray fraycheck marks though. I hope I can remove them later.

---- watched Orlando with Tilda Swinton. Boy... what a GORGEOUS movie. Makes me want to dress up in a white frockcoat with a boofy hat and go to Iiiindiiiaa. I wonder why the movie is so hard to find for sale?

---- ........ you know with all the book stuff and packing so that we can move, I really haven't had a break at all. I wonder when my brain will decide that enough is enough. ha.

---- all the paid-for garage sale stuff went out in the mail today! *WHEW!*

Costume College looks really cool! Is it always in late July and in SoCal? Will have to look into that for next year :)

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

Do they actually have a class schedule for costume college? All I can find is a class list...

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I have one here though that they mailed me

[discofish.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it seems like there are lots of benefits to membership :-D

When I first saw the class list I wondered if you and Judy or any of HCC would be going to Costume College this year, given your current project. I'll be seeing you there. ^_^

yes, but I'll be done far before costume college.... but it'll be nice to learn more, and maybe I'll use it as a kick-in-the-pants to get started on my pink one
