To all my friends fussing about their lack of artistic (drawing) talent:

If you have an idea for the Costume-Con 26 Future Fashion Folio, sketch it out! DO NOT worry that you are not a brilliant fashion artist.

The jury for the Folio is NOT judging artistic talent -- they are looking at the design concepts.

We have had crayon drawings from a 4-year-old published, and one of those designs was made and modelled in the fashion show.

SO -- scribble, daub, sketch, doodle, twist string into the right shape and photocopy it, but get your design idea onto paper (or into a file) and submit it!

You won't be sorry!

Is there a word-count limit on the description? Description, I'm good at. ;)

If they don't mention one, write away. Descriptions may be edited for publication purposes, but anyone building one of your designs will get the entire blurb.

There is no limit!

On the subject of costuming...I have been told by my friend who I went to cc25 with, that you mentioned during your x-dressing panel that you had x-dressing info out on your website. She and I have both looked, and can't find it. Could you please post a link to this if it is indeed out there? She wants to do an x-dressing scene for cc28, and really could use some info. Thanks in advance!

PS-HAPPY EARLY BIRDIE TWO EWES!

Ah -- not about cross-dressing in general, but about makeup.

*cough* Can I just submit my whole Steampunk portfolio (that I will be done on Friday) final project for school? XD;;

[ladycelia.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

I have the best of intentions, as I am trained in this area, however I am on the road to hell, really. No time. Sigh.

I hoped I might have time to get something done, but alas no. Going to Japan kind of took precedence.
