  • Sprained ankle contest prize update

    So I was shopping for a few buttons to add to one of my costumes for the Long Beach Comic Con, which is tomorrow-sunday. I step out of the fucking fabric store, didn't realize there was a step and I totally stumbled and crashed down on my ankle all weird. I took 3 mores steps and realized that the pain was so bad I was beginning to feel nauseous.Great, I was already behind on making one of my costumes, now I have to go to the fucking hospital to get this shit checked out.

    You know your fucked when all the workers in the ER take one glance at your shit, wince, shake their heads and say ouch. Thank God there were no fractures, but I sprained it pretty bad. I was so pissed. It just had to be the worst timing ever. So now, my Friday costume is out of the question. ( can't rock super tall heels) I'm glad that this con, my other costumes can be worn with flats. I had to talk my Dr into giving me a cane instead of crutches. I told her I was going to be working the comic con and crutches are just a bit much. She was actually cool and told me she was a big fan of comic book guy from the Simpson's, and when I told her what I was going to be dressed as on Saturday she did a funny sound effect that the character makes... awesome female geek dr. =)^Notice the swelling on the right ankle. So fucked!Anyways, so I have this cane, and I'm not sure if I'm just gonna take off the air cast for the con or rock it all gangsta like. All I know is that right now I'm fuckin pissed. They gave me 2 vicodins in the ER so I'm feeling loopy, but I still have to finish sewing one of my costumes. Gah! Too bad I didn't plan on being a pimp. Then I could've just bedazzled my cane and just planned the outfits around the cane. =P Actually walking around with the cane isn't as cool as I thought it'd be. My arm gets all wobbly. I look and feel like an old lady, seriously- not hot.^The therapist comes out with this shoe, and I start laughing hysterically. I was just thinking of my friday costume as the sleek and sexy Sage...He probably thought I was crazy. I just kept laughing and telling him that I was in a living nightmare. He just smiled uneasily and strapped me in. I asked if the shoe was on the wrong foot, cuz it looks weird. He said, "they're universal." I replied, "Universally ugly," and I actually got a bit choked up. I mean the shoe combined with my jacked up nails( I was so about to get a pedicure) the site was so ugly I seriously almost  cried. haha.

    On top of all that, I had to cancel a shoot I had for today, and I have a shoot on monday with 2 other models. I'm not sure if I'll be well enough by then, but we'll see. This really blows. Sigh...It's strange, I was doing so much lately that I was thinking something was going to have force me to slow down. Gah.

    On the brighter side of things...my contest. I know you folks still have lots of time, but I just wanted to add that anyone can dress up as more than one character if they'd like. Each costume will count as an individual entry. Any one person can get 2 prizes. Hey, if someone wants to put in that much more effort, then they should go for it. You don't gain extra points for having more than one entry. Like I said, each character will be judged individually. You can enter the look your wore for halloween or looks that you've done for tutorials, as long as the looks were done AFTER the contest started.I just got some of the prizes that I ordered in the mail. So far I have

    I also have lots of other accessories and fun stuff  for the contest. I think I just keep buying more stuff for the contest every time I go shopping. =) I would really like to get an idea of who might want to join the contest, I know it's early, but I'm actually quite excited about it. =) Okay, maybe it's the Vicodin talking. Actually, it's a dope ass contest, and I want people to have fun with it. Don't forget, there is a secret GRAND PRIZE, and I promise it's going to be SIKK!I'll add photos of the prizes when I have time. Some things are hard to describe. I guess that's all. If anyone is going to the LBCC, be sure to stop by my booth and say , Howdy.xoxo
