Remember, kids, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

Adam Savage (Mythbusters) has one of the all time best quotes, "Remember, kids, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down."  This quote, at it's core reminds us that any discovery, curiosity that we have is valid if we learn something and document it.  Memories are documentation too, just informal.  It's with that sentiment that I present to you today's project.  I have been lusting after my neighbors hydrangeas, they are so beautiful!  Knowing that you can grow them from cuttings, I took a shot.  Villainy isn't something that they have a proper school for, so we have the next best thing, YouTube.  I watched a few videos, shrugged, what did I have to lose?  Then because again, I am a firm believer in science... I documented it to share with you, my loyal subjects.  One of the branches was hanging by thread, so I snipped it, it had a lovely flower on it with a hitchhiker!! Let me make this part clear, this isn't so much a ho

You may have won this time, but I'll be back!

The journey has been lengthy, full of peaks and valleys, yet here I stand on the other side of my first showing.  Granted it was small, but the costume was not.  I spent a good deal of the event walking sideways. Still I wouldn't trade it! Sadly, I didn't place, but I am honored to lose to the second-place contestant (See picture below).  How she didn't win it all, I don't know.  First place wasn't bad, but I love a homemade costume and I wasn't sure if his was or not. This experience taught me a lot.  Yes, the construction, but also the joy it can bring to other people, not just the person wearing the costume.  I was thrilled that people wanted to take a picture of my outfit, the looks were fun, but what floored me were the kids that enjoyed it.  I only scared one little boy and he's fine.  However, the highlight was a little girl about 4 or 5; she came up to me dressed as Belle and said 'I love your dress, it sparkles.'  She giggled

Minion Report Monday!! It's almost done.

It's been a fruitful week, I am 95% of the way done with my costume!  From here it's finishing touches and tinkering till Saturday, when it's the local con.  I am pleased with out it turned out, there are areas for improvement but considering I am self taught and thus have no idea what I am doing, I feel good about it. I am not going to show it on me until the reveal at the con, but it'd be unfair to to tease you with a progress report and not show you the progress.  Here is a one shot, all set up on hangers. I entered it into it's first contest!  It's an online one, but you have to be in the game to win. What's next?  I hope to have my bummer article up by Thursday, but I've already started my zombie draft of this to take to the zombie walk.  I suspect next Minion Monday we'll have that to look forward to! #Rocketman #Cosplay #EltonJohn #MRM
