Today’s episode is named after an old-fashioned saying because it demonstrates why that saying exists. In this episode, I talk about my creative use of an abandoned ‘alpha version’ of one of my existing costume pieces to fill a previously-unforeseen need. Show Notes: This blog post is backdated to the approximate date and time I […]

On Monday morning, I dressed in my Sora outfit because it’s more or less normal clothes, so I knew I could go straight to the plane without stopping to change (as long as I stashed the hat and necklace in my suitcase). I packed all my stuff and parked my suitcase at the Westin’s baggage […]
