a first look at my costume - this is me along with disney's mace and shaak ti. ;D  you wouldn't believe how many comments I got - even from disney STAFF. the photographer fro sw.com even took my pic at the 3rd weekend but they never put it up  Very cool so far. well - any thoughts before I get back home and add more pics? edit: ps the black shirt you see underneath is NOT a tshirt - it's "underarmor" to help keep me cool in this 80F weather. |

Looks pretty good and when you'er finished making the tabbords, you'er all set. Were you cool enough in it with Florida's heat and humidity?

yeah, had a little bit of heat exhaustion today so that's why I'm at the hotel. dad wants to go out again but I'm kinda iffy about it. Might go see cars at the AMC. I did finish the tabbards but I mis-measured them and so they're either too short or too long (wether going for the belt length or bottom of the tunic bottom) so if it is NECESSARY i'll try to fix them when I get back so they're appropriate but if not I'll just leave them out of the costume all together. they food capsules are a little off so I need to sand the inside a little so they sit lower (also to do when I get back but at least those aren't necessary for the costume) edit: aaaaand as per application procedure - one of me alone.  |

Oh boy, You MUST drink water out here or you'll pass out. Have water and power-aid/gatoraid at a 1:1 ratio. If you'er hitting the fresher every 15 minutes to 'go', then it means you'er getting the amount of water your body needs. The poweraid/gatoraid replaces the salts, sugars and electrolytes youer losing. I suggest cutting it with water beccasue the sports drink straight up seems to shock the body with too much suagr. It'll spike then crash leaving you dizzy, not good down here. (It helps having a nurse as a friend.:-D. )
Rather the tabbords are too long than too short. You can always shorten it. I have mine going the wide of my hand past the tunic hem in front and back. When i want to short I just hem 'em up to the tunic's hem.

Ok... I had a dream about this car yesterday. It was in a random parade, followed by a fire engine! I drove to an overpass where I could watch it from above, then I had to hurry to work. Then I really woke up and was late for work.  |
