Sunday 30th May 2010: Gothic Princess

Sunday 30th May 2010

This year a huge group of us went to EXPO. There was me, Mike and Roxana as usual, with the addition of Dan, Emma, Jason and Danfeng. Danfeng and I go to uni together, but at the time of this EXPO we had only been speaking online before we had gone to uni, so this was the first time we'd seen each other. Dan and Emma are people I went to college with and Jason is someone I work with. 

No body dressed up apart from me and Dan. I lent Dan my cape, and I don't know who he was supposed to be! I went as a Gothic-y Princess. I didn't have a real costume and I wanted to dress up in something. Jason bought a link costume, but he chickened out at the last minute and decided not to wear it!

We all had a great day. I got to leave with a Luna Sailor Moon hat so I was happy!

Friday 5th March 2010 - My mum as the Mad Hatter

Mum as the Mad Hatter

My mum works at a school (my old primary school) and it was World Book Day. She wanted to be the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, so I helped her make a costume. I made all the red ribbons for the outfit and I sewed the patches onto her trousers. I also made the white cuffs and the cravat styled ruffles down her shirt. You can't see the ruffles too well in the photos, but it took a while to make!

I also did her make up too. I applied purple eyeshadow and then fake hair to make her eyebrows 'bushy' and 'eccentric'. I was fun to do the make up for her as I was getting a bit into special effects make up and I had just learnt how to apply fake hair.
