Pitch Perfect is one of my favorite movie franchises ever. I watch one of the three films every time I fly, quote all three movies in normal conversation, and I’ve made several costumes over the years. So on a recent flight last year, I zeroed in on Beca’s rhineston collar in Pitch Perfect 3 and […]

A Gnarly Dudes Lebowski Halloween
If you think that me being asked to review a wine and wear a costume is weird, you really don’t know me. Or maybe you do! Celebrating Halloween and The Big Lebowski‘s 20th anniversary with a lovely Australian red wine is exactly my kind of weird. So here’s my review of Two Hands Wines Gnarly […]
Costuming Artemisia from 300: Rise of an Empire (Gold)
It’s been four years since I joined a fitness based costume group that gets together once a year for DragonCon in Atlanta. My first costume with the group was Artemisia from an early scene in the second 300 film (300: Rise of an Empire) was a striking red dress with maybe 10 seconds of screen time […]
Costuming Themistocles from 300: Rise of an Empire
Several years ago I joined a fitness/costume group (see my first Artemisia costume build here) that gathers once a year at DragonCon in Atlanta. My husband, being the supportive gentleman that he is, joined the group about a year after I did. I had made a Senator from 300 costume for him to wear so he could […]
Costuming Themysciran Senators from Wonder Woman: More Photos
Have you ever finished a costume late at night after months of work and decide “screw it, let’s go take photos first thing in the morning”? Because that’s exactly what happened. I was tired but determined to take these Senators from Wonder Woman out for a test drive so we could see how the capes […]
Costuming Themysciran Senators from Wonder Woman: Corset, Skirt, & Cape
I never intended to make most of the costumes in the Wonder Woman film, but that seems to be what is happening. Last year I made a Themysciran village Amazon costume and Diana Prince’s stunning blue gala dress, also started working on a Warrior, and have been helping friends with their Menalippe and Hippolyta costumes. […]

Costuming Diana Prince from Wonder Woman
Since seeing the first Wonder Woman preview of Diana Prince in the gala scene, I was stunned by the blue silk dress with the sword “hiding” down her back. Goddess, warrior, and a lady. I didn’t commit to costuming this gorgeous version of Wonder Woman until I saw the film…and well, I hit the fabric store […]
Costuming a Village Amazon from Wonder Woman
Like most women who saw Wonder Woman this year, I wanted to be an Amazon. I wanted to be all of them. Originally I chose Diana Prince’s blue silk dress worn at the gala to make and wear at DragonCon in Atlanta this year. But as DragonCon was rapidly approaching and I was frantically working […]
Costuming a Senator from 300
About two years ago I joined a fitness/costume group that gathers once a year at DragonCon in Atlanta. My husband, being the supportive gentleman that he is, joined the group about a year ago. I had planned on making an Immortal costume for him but I just couldn’t get it together in time. Instead I […]
