Just bit the bullet and bought all my fabric for my Rey costume. So the bulk of it should be here by this weekend and I can get started. Kind of nervous as I haven't made anything like this in over 5 years now.

Got to give you props, and wish you luck! Sewing was 1 thing I totally could not do, and could never get into, but I so admire those that can!

My daughter started 2nd grade today! We did meet the teacher on Friday and I was sweating, hoping she wouldn't cause a fuss over our Disney trip in 33 days.

She was super cool about it and said that it sounded like a great time!

We go to Dragon Con this weekend and I'm in the midst of my yearly battle against my newest costume. I'm going to be a Ghostbuster. I can't sew very well, so I got a coverall that is the right color and I'm hand sewing on ribbon for the reflective strips. And it's a pain in the butt. But it will be a fun costume to wear.

I'm also marching in the parade as the Haunted Mansion's Tightrope Girl (which if you are local to the Atlanta area, you can watch it on tv! CW, I think). I'm also going to be Alice from the American McGee Alice games and possibly bringing my Snow White in case the Ghostbusters costume gets too hot.

I can sew and use to be good at it when I was a kid. When the live action Where the Wild Things Are movie came out I made a Max costume but that was the last time I did anything on this level. That was probably harder as it involved a tail and this is just a top and a bottom. I am also making her smaller canvas satchel and the belt and arm cuff too. Thank goodness I found a pattern because the Max costume was a little of this and a little of that to make it haha.

My grandma never understood why I loved to just jump the gun and learn on the fly. The first thing I ever actually sewed after learning was a barbie doll wedding gown that was meant for advanced sewers haha!

I was thinking about you this weekend and it made me realize we need to get started on my daughter's. She wants to go as a Dalek from Doctor Who. So thanks for the inadvertent reminder!

Glad the teacher was cool with the Disney trip ... definitely something that some teachers are ok with, some ... um, not so much

That is cool you are in the parade. I totally remember that American McGee Alice game (the first one) - had a very cool vibe to it

I was a little MIA from the boards over the weekend because we had a lot to get ready for my dad's family reunion. Mom and I baked all day Saturday (making banana cupcakes with cream cheese icing) and then yesterday was the reunion. It was a hot day, but everyone seemed to have a good time.

I just saw that on facebook a few minutes ago. Another of my childhood icons is gone. I loved him. Young Frankenstein is one of my all-time favorite movies. And who doesn't love Willie Wonka (the original, of course). Or Blazing Saddles.
 
Yes, I just saw this on Ryno's Twitter. I responded that the world lost a comic genius. But at least he and another comic genius, Gilda Radner, are together in the great Saturday Night Live Chocolate Factory in the sky! :)
 
Okay so because Michael mentioned it on the disneyland show Sunday I had to find it and watch it. It wasn't on netflix so I rented it on amazon. Waking Sleeping Beauty. The stories behind The Eisner/Wells/Katzenberg era. Every Disney fan needs to watch this documentary. The Eisner era is one of the most interesting and biggest parts of disney history. From the weird disconnect of Katzenberg with Eisner and Roy Disney to Frank Wells' death. Disney animation was failing but (thanks to Michael for this) Ron Miller actually started it on the right path. Eisner and the rest of them took all the credit of course. Just a great documentary overall, and I highly recommend it.

I had a roommate do this. She would eat all my food, use up my tampons, and break my stuff. Then she was confused why I moved out and didn't want to be friends anymore. :furious:

This is actually during the time that I "got into the business side" of Disney as a company, stockholder, and visitor. I actually lived a dream come true and went to a stockholder meeting that was held in Philly when Eisner was voted out. Was a VERY interesting time. Might have to read the book, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the recommendation/reminder - I still need to see this but have heard about it

I find the Eisner term fascinating as he usually is not viewed in a positive light by most Disney fans looking back but from a corporate/financial standpoint he realy turned the company into the global powerhouse it is today - who knows if they would have had the money to by Lucas or Marvel if not for that time

I also had somebody eating my food when I lived in a rooming house years ago. With the landlord's knowledge, I made some "special food" to help "flush out" (LITERALLY!) the culprit. He was asked to leave.....when he made it out of the bathroom. :rotfl:Doubt he ever ate anybody else's food again.
