While working from home for over a year during the pandemic, I was missing the office and my coworkers. So we marathon binged The Office in its entirety. With DragonCon 2021 not being canceled this year, but still being held with restrictions, I wanted a comfortable cosplay option for casual day wear. So we decided […]

Disneybounding Darth Vader
Last year on my second trip to Orlando for RunDisney’s Wine & Dine half marathon and Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, I Disneybounded for the first time. I Disneybound as Ursula and my beautiful flawless friend, Melissa, Disneybound as Darth Vader. This might look familiar to you if you’re no stranger to the blog, as […]
Disneybounding Ursula
Last year on my second trip to Orlando for RunDisney’s Wine & Dine half marathon and Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, I Disneybounded for the first time. And since I have two Ursula costumes, Disneybounding Ursual just felt right. Disney villains fit my personality, and my eyebrows! Here’s how I put together the outfit, and […]
Sewing a Reversible Poodle Skirt
After making four poodle skirts last year for a Halloween cruise, I wanted to make my neice a poodle skirt to wear with Tina and I at a future event. And since she could’nt decide on a llama or Hufflepuff badger, I decided I’d make a two-in-one with a reversible poodle skirt! So following yesterday’s […]
Sewing a Pack of Poodle Skirts
I’ve always wanted a poodle skirt. It was a popular costume when I was a kid, and seemingly easy to put together, I just never did it until last year. When planning group costumes for a Halloween cruise with my costuming friend Tina and my blogging besties Miranda from Spooky Little Halloween and Cheyenne from Sense & Serendipity, I made the […]
Costuming a Weird Sister from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Last year when planning group costumes for a Halloween cruise with my costuming friend Tina and my blogging besties Miranda from Spooky Little Halloween and Cheyenne from Sense & Serendipity, my friend Miranda was all about Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. She, Hallowqueen that she is, would obviously be Sabrina, and the other three of us would be the Weird Sisters. And […]
Fantasia Inspired Boho Toadstool Mushroom Costume
The latest covid era travel cancellation is a huge disappointment to my mom. I was supposed to take her on a Bahamas cruise in October, but the health and financial risk isn’t worth keeping those travel plans. As an alternative and something for both of us to look forward to, we talked about a secluded […]
Costuming (Burlesque) Aqualass
Usually when I add a costume to my wish-list or line-up, one costume becomes three, because I make, throw together, or purchase a costume for my husband and niece. When I made my Burlesque Loki costume to join a Burlesque (or Kilted) Superheros and Villains group for last DragonCon, I wanted my niece to join […]
Costuming an Inmate & a Guard from Orange Is the New Black
Orange Is the New Black is finally back on Netflix! While we binge watch the current season, here is the breakdown of my inmate costume and my husband’s guard costume that we assembled and wore last year. These two costumes were super easy to put together that required basically no creativity, skill, or time on my […]
