Monster High photoshoot- Twyla and Spectra! Also... Halloween/cosplay thoughts?

[milleniumgypsy]

In my headcanon, Twyla and Spectra were destined to be friends since the first time I saw Twyla! xD I haven't seen anything with Twyla in it yet, so I don't know how this actually would work. lol But I decided I'd take my pictures of my new bb with Spectra. :3


Aw, your dust bunny is so cute!



The ghouls together

Next time... Catrine!

I was going to take pictures outside, but it was cloudy. It also started to rain, and the wind was really kicking up. I was afraid that we were going to have another windstorm like we did last fall, the one that kicked out my power for a couple days. So far it's not that bad. lol

In other news, on Friday I went with Scottie to a Halloween ball planning meeting for the wiccan group we're looking to become a part of. They want to do a Halloween semi-formal costume ball, and us witches should come dressed as, well, witches.

The first thing that I thought of was LOKI IS TOTALLY A MAGIC USER I CAN BE LADY LOKI. Somehow I don't think that Loki's horned helmet is exactly what they meant by a pointy hat... but what can I say?

And the pointy hat thing was more of a suggestion, since they said we could also come as zombies or whatever. I'm still following a magical theme! And of course, *points up at gif*

I said Scottie could dress as regular Loki. This is what came to mind...

I don't think he's going to do that, but we're not actually sure what he'll want to do. We'll see.

I'm also not sure exactly which Loki I want to be. Avengers Loki? Thor Loki? Which costume out of those? Comic book Lady Loki? I'm probably not going to do kid Loki or comic book Loki.

It just seems so perfect... because I was actually wanting to make a costume for the Loki 2 Thor 2 premiere... And I wanted to do a costume for the work Halloween costume contest (WHICH HOW COULD I BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN LOKI). So uhm, that would be like three times that I'd wear the costume within a couple of weeks? lol There's also a local con sometime this fall that I could go to. I've never been to a con before, but I've always wanted to!

When I was originally thinking about doing this, one part of my brain was saying "But I'm not tall enough/thin enough/imposing enough/whatever enough to pull this off" but the much larger part of my brain was like "THIS IS LOKI WE'RE TALKING ABOUT I DO WHAT I WANT." I think Loki is a good influence on me.

Now... I do a lot of figure sculpting, and I've even made some doll clothes. But I've never made a costume before? I'm not sure how this should work. Scottie had some AMAZING ideas, but I'm not sure if we'll have the time/money to pull them off. Maybe on a different year? Scottie has made clothing for both of us though, so he actually knows what he's doing. I hope that I'll be able to do more than just Kermit flail at the project. n_n'

Anyway, I'm REALLY EXCITED about this idea and I have NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. What could go wrong? xD

I also am considering dying my hair black with indigo. I've only ever hennaed my hair though, I've never even considered going black! I've actually been meaning to get henna to do my hair again, but I'm so torn because I also want to do black (I'd still have to henna first for the indigo to take though, so I guess that doesn't change). I did Dark Willow one year for Halloween, and I did non-perm black hair. I was trying to find a picture of it to see what I looked like but I couldn't find anything. It's probably all back with my family in MI, boo.

Another thing that I'm concerned about though is that I am currently losing weight, so if I make a costume now I'm going to be smaller by Halloween. I'm not sure how to plan for that. Plus, I'd rather make a costume that I'd be able to use more than one year?

Twyla is so cute ><

I dyed my hair red (auburn red not ginger red) for two years. I loved it. But I let it fade out and dyed it back to just lighter than my natural hair color so it looks like I actually went outside this summer XD

As for costume making while losing weight, you can make the horned crown thing and the jacket now, and wait to do the more "form fitting" stuff until like the beginning of October. That way it won't be huge on you/you won't swim in it. Or alternatively, they make stretchy dresses were there is a lot of leeway in either direction if you wanted to use that as a base. I saw them at my Halloween store for like 10 dollars or so.

I don't know what I'm going to do for Halloween this year. I could do Velma from Scooby Doo rather easy or Daria <3 but we'll see. I would love to have a job by Halloween so I don't feel so bad for celebrating.

wow. I wrote a lot sorry ^^;;

I know, she's just so precious! :D

I've been dying my hair with henna for years, but the last couple of years I just didn't have the ambition to do it. But now I'm feeling more like myself, and now I want to henna my hair again! Naturally I have dark brown hair with some gold highlights. (Scottie misses my real hair colour when I dye it but I love red hair!)

Scottie said to start the Loki horns early too, and that makes sense. Plus guantlets and other bits and buckles would make sense. The jacket makes sense to start on earlier too, as that isn't as form fitting. Thanks!

ehehehe, I love your costume ideas! Velma and Daria are awesome. xD I hope that you find a job in time so you can celebrate without guilt!

I like to get comments, especially long ones, no worries! xD

Yay! Do Lady Loki if you really want to! (And somehow I have the feeling you really want to! :-D) I think you'll have so much fun! :-) (Sorry, I have nothing useful to add, though...)

[invsagoth.livejournal.com]

ehehehe, I really do want to! xD I think it would be a lot of fun, especially if I act the part! :D

I love to get comments, so definitely no worries. :3

Good point.

Hallo'een IS right around the corner.

And what with me loosing weight too...I will be tempted to eat all the All Hallow's Eve candy and start the diet all over again.

**whimper** But the 3 musketeers bars! THE THREE MUSKETEERS BARS!!!

Welp. There's only one thing to distract me. And his initials are TWH. ;D

[invsagoth.livejournal.com]

I've strangely had like zero appetite for the last couple of months, so it's actually been taking more willpower to make sure that I eat something during the day to keep my metabolism up. o_O

Chocolate is still good though! xD

Hiddles is the best distraction though! How can you think of anything else when looking at his adorable face? xD

[agentbethbonsai.livejournal.com]

Indeed, but not as good as Tom distracting you. ;D

ASDFJKL, his face! HIS FAAAAAAAACE!

Tom!! You're tooo adorable not to looove!

....


....Sorry, what?

XD

[invsagoth.livejournal.com]

Tom is the best distraction!


Have one of my favorite gifs in the history of anything!

[agentbethbonsai.livejournal.com]

Daw!


He's so adorable!

I'm loving Twyla so much *-*. Her hair is amazing!!!

I think that if I ever get this MH doll I requested I'm going to start collecting them all XDDDD. Which is going to be hella expensive because I found a place that sells them here, but unfortunately at a very high price T_T.

It's really nice you guys celebrate Halloween over there :3 we don't really do it here, unfortunately ;-; I always liked the idea of dressing up, but all alone is no fun XD.
I'm with daughterjudy's idea of making the outer garments first and maybe leave the rest for later. Do you think you'll lose too much weight? Because in that case maybe you'd just have to take in a couple inches of fabric.

[invsagoth.livejournal.com]

I know, she's so cute!

I'm sad that you don't have them at a more reasonable price near you! Would they possibly be cheaper to get online?

I love to dress up! I wish there were more things that I could dress up for, ehehehe. It's fun. :D
I'll start on the outer garments, that is a good idea!
I'm not sure how much smaller I'll be, but if I keep up on the pace I've been at I could be around 20 lbs less by Halloween, which is will probably be significant. n_n' I also will continue to lose weight after Halloween, and I'd like the costume to still be as useable as possible later, if that makes sense?

Those dolls have got such personality - so much better than Barbie!

[invsagoth.livejournal.com]

They do, and it makes them so easy to love. :D
