So I am going absolutely sicko mode on my bedroom and I'm adding crown molding and thinking of using corbels so I don't need to miter the corners of the bay window and I was like these are really cool... But then The Voice asked, but could you goon in your own bedroom with 3 Hestias staring at you?

I FINALLY FOUND THE LOST MEDIA but basically my TLK video essay would boil down to this.

I don't have quite so established types when it comes to women EXCEPT this haircut. I think it's because it's both a hair style I WISH I could pull off and also women with this hairstyle are just very cool.

85C knows how to at me specifically (or, well, any white woman)

Because I have now, tonight, run into several folks who have not heard of my favorite Texas cryptid/local legend, please allow me to introduce you to Knife Gator (don't worry he's vibing despite the knife)(he was never captured he's still out there).

My toxic trait is having other stuff I actually need to get done but seeing something unhinged and going "I wanna make thaaaat"

I have a few hours before my flight so I am indulging in my favorite vice: weird flavored churros. Pumpkin Spice on a churro is, in fact, peak.

I had a ton of fun cosplaying my lizard (read player character from FFXIV) today at Anime Impulse. Also accomplished my entire mission for the con >:3

Spent most of today using a piece of masking tape as a bobbin well cover because I somehow lost the actual cover.

Dear reader, this is the epitome of putting something is a place so safe I can't find it.

Finished my aura tail and ear horns! Because the tail needs to fit in a carryon the tip pulls off and I used ribbon to anchor it. The ribbon will slot through the back of my Nier tank dress and then ties around my waist.

Added the blonde highlights to my WoL wig. We'll see how punky colors holds up being stored in a wig bag but I liked being able to vary the intensity.

Really glad I kept my patterns for Bryn because I lost the bottom scales off the garterbelt at Colossalcon. I already had the foam clay out so I whacked out another.

Hanging out at Colossalcon today in Berserker Brynhildr. Using the sport mode bun for hanging out in the pool but did photos with the ponytail earlier. c:

Once I find my new place I plan on building a frame so it looks like a giant specimen box and can have these mounted on a wall under the safety of some anti-uv plexi. But for now she is a little crowded by a fat cat.

The moth mom shrine continues to grow thanks to my friends seeing Athena charms and sending me links like "you have this one yet?" uwu

I would have said it reminds me of the Bengaline I got around that same time period but I think yours might be higher loft than that.

I can't believe it's been 10 years since I became my favorite mobile suit in all of Gundam.

Lastly, use some kind of top coat, preferably satin or glossy. I really like Mr Top Coat in glossy as it's thin so it doesn't remove detail and it's never crazed on me either.

I would avoid UV nail gel topcoats for this final step due to yellowing over time.

Using the alcohol to clean up while sculpting had removed some of my matte primer so I went in with matte Tamiya black to cover up some stray chrome bits, post chroming. Works well enough.

Once you've buffed things, use a fluffy brush to dust off excess powder. Don't worry about brushing away the stuff you buffed in, it's stuck there! After the fluffy brush I go in with a stiffer brush to clean up seams/corners.

For chroming: Use a sponge applicator & buff the powder on. It really is a buffing/rubbing motion you need, don't forget to get into crevices/corners. The chrome won't stick to anything that was painted matte so if the alcohol removed some of your matte, dab a bit more on those parts before chrome.
