Argh, cleaning. Some days I love it, some days I hate it. Today, I hate it. I'm finally tackling the damn bedroom, and I've cleared the floor. On one level, I know it doesn't matter that much. I'm only in there when I sleep, and no one else sees it but me. But there's this little voice in my head that says 'you're an adult, clean your damn room'.

Anyway, since I was thinking about cosplay and my next con - which will be PCC again - I decided to a) start planning my costumes and b) check the site to see what's up, when it is, etc.

Um. Holy crap, Wil Wheaton is a guest. I adore Wil Wheaton. I have since I was a much younger gal, hooked on Star Trek. And now I appreciate his writing and his brilliant mind. I've always, always wanted to attend a con where he was a guest, because I've heard nothing but how witty, friendly, and awesome he is. So I'm thrilled.

On to costumes!

I'm thinking, since it's Phoenix Cactus Comic Con, that I should do the comic costumes I've been planning. Which means:

Rose Red of Fables, in her 'Pirates of Upstate New York' ensemble. I get to make a cutlass! Needed Parts: Grey pants, red sash, white shirt with rose design, white rose choker, blue bandanna, cutlass, two pistols, short red wig.

Nico Minoru/Sister Grimm of Runaways. I honestly can't decide which of her outfits to do. I'm thinking the white shirt/black tie/maroon skirt from volume #11. That or the aristocrat-esque black jacket and maroon skirt with bandanna from #2-6. Either way, they're easy to put together/make, and I can use my real hair. I just need to go nuts with my extra-strength hair cement stuff to get the right spikes. And I'll have her staff, which is recognizable, so....

Suggestions as to which Nico outfit to do would be greatly appreciated! Black and White jacket outfit, best pic I could grab without being spoiled for the shirt and tie outfit.

I know I'm starting super early, but maybe if I start way in advance, I won't be rushed like crazy the week before. Six months should be enough time.

Right?
