International Geek Girl Pen Pal Club

If you follow my twitter, you know that I joined the IGGPPC (spelled out in title). It's pretty self explanatory, you sign up and tell them your top 5 geeky interests and they match you with a pen pal. If you want to join the site is here. If you follow me on twitter, you also know that the letter from my pen pal arrived yesterday. I wanted to share with you all how great it is:

I really wanna know where you get stationary like this. It's super cool.

It looks like we have a lot of similar interests, so I'm really excited to get to know each other better.
It had perfect timing since I've been super stressed recently and it's just really nice to find a surprise in your mailbox.
 I'm still sorry for the sporadic updates but after this weekend I'll have tons more free time so please just wait until then.

What are you talking about "Halloween's in 4 months"? (part 1 of ???)

I would have finally finished my Iron Man jumper yesterday had Loki not decided to be a little shit.
So here's something I've been saving up.

I really like Halloween. I know, it's summer now why are you talking about Halloween it's so far away. The point is I get a lot of inspiration from the costumes. Some costumes could be copied in a way to make them good costumes for cons and some can be used for inspiration for everyday outfits.

Such as this one:




I found this and though it was really interesting, changing the placement of the blue star pattern. This would be an easy-ish costume to recreate as a red dress with a Wonder Woman applique and then a blue underbust corset with stars and the gold belt.  The dress wouldn't need to be as short as it is in this costume or strapless, in fact it could really be any fit red dress substituted in (it could even be a store bought one). Then you have the added bonus of a new red dress if you should ever need one.
I love that there is almost always a way to make parts of costumes useful.
After looking at more costumes, I was disappointed to find that this might be a recolor of this costume, which is more similar to the original Wonder Woman costume and less easy to reproduce:


(though this one looks more like a recolor on the skirt)


On a only slightly related note, I hope the fact that forth of July is next month will make it easier to find blue and white starred fabric so I can make all kinds of Wonder Woman things.

Wonder Woman part 2

Told you guys I'd post more Wonder Woman stuff.

Here's Wonder Woman from the movie Justice League: The New Frontier

I loved the retro feel of the movie for the most part. It means that Diana got the eagle on her chest, which I always thought was cooler. I also really like armor and skirts. so yeah.

Wonder Woman part 1

Recently, my friend bought the Wonder Woman animated movie, so we watched it on her birthday.
First of all, it's an amazing movie. There are so many small details that just make this the best.

But, since this is supposed to be a faux-fashion-type-thingy, I'm featuring Hippolyta, more specifically, her armor.
I just really really like the eagle on her sword and shield
( I'm probably gonna do more Wonder Woman related posts soon, and update with some projects I'm working on. So more posts coming.)
