Another very old picture from recent memories. Me, at 27, not at all looking like a 27 year old, trying on a cosplay wig. No wonder people have trust issues with me when I tell them I'm now in my 40s if that was how I looked pushing 30.

These photos of us with the Fratellis popped up in my Facebook memories. In September, it will be 18 years since we first saw them. That is a 25 year old me!

I haven't competed in a cos0la3y contest in over three years. Got a best advanced award today (they only had Novice and advanced) for Sith Maleficent!

Today was the first time in a year I called out for work, and the first time in who knows how long since it was for myself. Other than dragging myself to feed the feral cats at the barn, I've laid on bed all day sick. Hopefully it passes. I have things I need to be doing.

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

My bestie Jordan brought me this gorgeous Christmas present. I cried because this was my first Christmas since I was 13 without my horse Squeegie. She pulled lots of photos and used a quote from A.A. Milne. He wrote Winnie the Pooh, a favorite of dad's, and he's the reason I love horses so much.

Same!

I made Dr. Strange's Cloak of Levitation for @skootsart.bsky.social for Christmas. Maybe now he can stop trying to take mine for my Clea costume. #cosplay #doctorstrange #doctorstrangecosplay #cloakoflevitation

I took one whole picture tonight. But, I got my wings made and was a Sugar Plum Fairy!

As a kid, Richard Scarry's Find Your ABC's was one of my favorite books. I searched to find my three year old nephew a copy, and got this one from a third party on Amazon. It's a 1973 first edition! I'm a bit jealous now, since I haven't seen the copy I grew up with since I was a kid.

A not so gentle reminder not to be a complete dickheaded asshole to retail workers right now. You think we don't know our lines are long and online orders aren't done on time? You think we like y'all being shitty to us as a result? Stop treating us like unintelligent drones with no feelings. Thanks.

Not sure you are as badass as you think with FAFO plastered in huge letters across the back of your very fucked up Chevy Tahoe...

I still haven't figured out where to store the witch house, so she and her kitty got into the holiday spirit.

Oof...our forefathers invaded this land as uninvited immigrants, slaughter the native tribes into near extinction of entire groups, then claimed they were doing it for the freedom of all people while owning slaves...

You ever feel like people are all "support small businesses at the holidays!" but they look at you and go "except that one. Don't bother supporting them", or is it just me?

Just looked up from the couch to see my cat Loki sleeping like this on mh bookshelf. What in the actual hell, dude?! #cat #cutofbluesky #tuxedocat

I made a pink horse plushie tonight. She's kind of adorable. Yee-haw, y'all.

Just watched a video of Pope Leo talking about pro-life and death penalty stuff and someone suggested in the comments he needed to read the Bible...good sir did you just tell the freaking POPE that he needs to read the Bible. I'm certain he's read it more than I've read Heartless (my favorite book).

Meant to share it just once, but forgot to put, we already have a Tee Public, and it makes cool ass t-shirts. Don't ruin it for us, Donald.

TPUBLICAN is perfect if the "T" stands for TRAITOR.

Y'all, hear me out. I want to make a new Christmas themed costume this year and don't know if I will have the time or the funds to make either of my dreams, but I have this. With additions, the right wig, makeup, wings, I could turn this into the most elaborate Sugar Plum Fairy. What do we think?

Odin would not hold still for pictures. So have him headbutting my phone while being adorable. #orangecat #orangecatsofbluesky #oneeyedcat

Nothing like thinking you are about to hear Queen's Under Pressure, only to be fooled with Ice Ice Baby instead. The disappointment was real.

Watching my favorite movie of all time yet again: Moulin Rouge. And while every song and performance is amazing, the intensity of Roxanne has to be the best number in the whole movie.

Tonight when talking to my bestie about how I cried when I started my Invisible Woman costume, and started crying on her, I realized how much more empathic the friends I have now are compared to some old ones who wouldn't have comforted me the way she did. They would have said it was just a costume.

A lovely picture of no thoughts Thor that @pastelgothsloth.bsky.social took last year on Halloween. He's so lucky he's pretty😂 #cat #tuxedocat

My brother and his kids were so cute at Memphis Comic and Fantasy Con on Saturday. Oliver has the Spider-Man hands down. And Lily was adorable as Mayday. #cosplay #spidermancosplay

I like to remind entries when they go "I've only won a judge's choice" that that is still an award won. We judges can't give everyone awards, even if we wish we could sometimes. But I hope for us to say "you are my personal choice" for any reason makes you feel honored.

She's not perfect, but I got Invisible Woman wearable for the Spooky Science Spectacular yesterday. I want to fix the pants or make a new pair, have to make the gloves, and detail the belt. But she was a hit. I made the costume in about two days... #cosplay #invisiblewoman #invisiblewomancosplay

Odin likes the fireplace. It's a fake one that can be a space heater. No heat from it currently. He just likes laying in front of it. #orangecat

Gotta do some fitting when there is another human awake in the house to help me, but most of the blue base for Invisible Woman's shirt is done. Did I mention I am using neoprene fabric for this? It's definitely thicker than what I usually use for superhero costumes, but it had the feel of the movie.

Who is crazy enough to just start cutting out the costume they need for Thursday evening? Me...and boy does Invisible Woman's top have SO many extra seams. Once it's cut, the shirt and pants will be easy to put together. It's the gloves and belt I'm worrying about. We will see how that goes...

Four years ago, i bought one of these witch house cat scratchers for my cats, and Whiskey loved it, so I got a second one, but never built it. And when Whiskey died, I couldn't bring myself to put it up. I finally put it together tonight, and Odin was the first to hop in. I cried. #cats #orangecat

Every October, I do different wigs and makeup for every day I work. These are all the looks from this year. I am now on vacation, but I do have Halloween shenanigans coming up, so there will be more looks for the month. Also, I don't usually repeat a wig, but looks like I did this year on accident.

Forgot to share the video of the finished haunted house mural with the stars twinkling! For being completely freehand drawn with only a photo for reference, I'm not mad at it. I am a perfectionist that sees the flaws, but it's still pretty cool. #vintagehalloween #halloween ##halloweendiecut

Is my accidental photo better than that recent Time Magazine cover of a certain piece of shit king wannabe?

Praying to the cosplay gods...I usually use a dry cleaning bag to clean Captain Carter, but couldn't find the bag, so she's in a delicate wash cycle right now and I'm not freaking out at all...yes, I am. I'm 100% freaking out.

Just have to paint the sky and add the lights as stars. The purple lights turn this from classic spooky Halloween vibes to neon fantasy Halloween vibes. #halloween #halloweendiecut #vintagehalloween

Y'all, I'm both happy and sad there isn't video of me as Captain Carter today trashing to Rob Zombie's Dragula.

I'm getting SO close to having this thing finished. #halloween #halloweendiecut #vintagehalloween

Went blonde today since I'm working the midnight release of Taylor Swift's new album at work. We are the only Target in Memphis doing it.

It's October 1st, and you know what that means! A whole month of wigs at work to confused my co-workers! This is year six of the tradition. And we started Spooky Season with my Crowley wig, because demon! It needs re-styling, so it doesn't currently look like Crowley.

Been getting my creative spark going again. This is the newest addition to my outdoor Halloween decor. It's based on the old die-cuts we had as kids. It's 8'x8', and I hand drew it and now I'm painting it. Last night I was in my yard until 1:30 a.m. #halloween #vintagehalloween #halloweendiecut

Well, I did it. I ordered Invisible Woman fabric. Let's see if it gets here and I get the motivation to make it in time for the Spooky Science Spectacular at the end of October. Will this be the costume that finally resets my cosplay spark?

The most important aspect of this Tylenol debacle, is that the President raped children.

My brother Brad bought our niece Lily a Cap shield pillow and said "she needs her Aunty Peggy to teach her how to use it." I said Aunt Peggy (Annie) is on it. His reply? "I knew I could count on you." We will raise this girl to be a Sentinel or Liberty. He also gave her Oliver a Mjolnir pillow.

I got to teach Oliver how to give horses treats today. There were horses on the property where my older nephew Phillip got married today, so we went to see them. One of them was missing an eye. They were sweet and gentle with Oliver even if he dropped the treats every time they tried to take them.

Gail Simone is a queen, and very right.

Got to take my grandmother's 1940s hat for a spin today at a tea party for my nephew's fiance. I love a good vintage look.
