Alright, let’s do this. Come find your space friends (old and new) amid the churn.

This community is what got me to create a Reddit account, and then a Twitter account. So I’m not keen on losing track of it!

Just let me know if you’d like to be added. ◡̈

I'm in this group! I think this was my favorite panel at Dragon Con this year.

According to Dragon Con, 110 students followed me out of the classroom today to sing in Ghor in the halls. Goosebumps!

I hope some of these wonderful beings see this.

I sure did! A bunch of people took pictures with me, but I forgot to take one of myself. Oops! I will get back in it tomorrow when I’m finished with my Andor costumes. :)

T-4 hours to Lang Belta class! Watch me level up my teaching difficulty by wearing Drummer's incredible 25kg exoskeleton.

The #DragonCon student crew is always the very best of the best, I'm so happy to be back. See you soon in Marriot M301!

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails.

This person for example has opted for „þjóðhetja“. It means „National Hero“.

Okay, I feel better having let that out.

Back to my own sewing project, which absolutely might come out hideous, but at least will be made out of somewhat logical materials and not make me feel like I’m being forced to cosplay as the grocery bag of grocery bags under my parents’ kitchen sink.

Horrific thought: Are they… making these women make their own concert outfits at home? Surely not, but now that I’ve said it, I can’t get away from the idea.

Would explain the wildly varying hems, and why none of these stretchy-looking dresses seems to have met a serger.

but then why literally underline all the chests? Whyyyyy?

But at least they all have perfectly matching pearl necklaces (that look like cheap party favors against the white, and are the perfect length to sit weirdly and highlight creases).

But back to the snark, WHY MAKE THE GIANT SLEEVES SO SHORT?! Now everyone’s mix of Apple watches and hair elastics is just highlighted against the white, they have to worry about what their hands are doing, and the varying sleeve length is yet another way to miss cohesiveness by a mile. Whyyyyyyyy.

Oh NO. I didn’t think these could possibly get worse, but the design from the side is just plain mean.

There’s no attempt to look uniform on the diversity of body types, and the mess of tents/awnings/tarps REALLY draws the eye… oddly.

Now I just feel bad, wearing this would make me feel terrible.
The performers from the first image, seen from the side. The cropped top portions of the outfits are all hanging at different heights and angles on different body types.

Wearing flimsy white lace-trimmed camisoles pulled way down over the hips under every single shirt was very much What The Cool Modest Girls of Utah did in the 2000s, so I can’t say they’re failing at brand recognition here.

But THOSE HEMS. And the (almost?) matching skirts! Most cursed layer cakes.
A group of people in their aforementioned dresses get cheerfully out of a golf cart on the Temple Square grounds. The full outfit is visible, with white skirts reaching almost to the ground and closed-toed black shoes sticking out.

What is happening here?? The longer I look, the more confused I get.

Which hems are sadder? The thin uneven ones around the crop tops, or the giant puckered satin-trimmed abominations around the sleeves and under…things? Why do they have both?

From the shoulders up, they look like the offspring of a cathedral cotta and a jersey-knit dress. Ugly, but not criminally unhinged.

But then —

THE CROP TOP!

At first glance, it looks like they’ve got an understitched facing on their necklines… and all put their dresses on inside-out.
