Why? Well, apparently our Power Rangers line up was fairly popular and they want us there for the opening weekend of the movie. Plus, Weird Al is going to be there this year and I'VE NEVER MET HIM AND THAT WOULD BE EPIC!!!!
Anyway...
We also have planned on Disney this year which will require some planning and we have another family trip this year. That's a lot of travel. In addition, my brother has decided that we need to step up our costume game. He wants to enter the costume contest and SLCC is pretty picky and so we need to get moving on Costumes.
This year my brother wants to do Star Wars. A good thing to have in the repertoire. He's doing an original character that is going to be epic. My hubby is going to attempt a mashup. Starlord Mandalorian Merc and I'm going to attempt a Sith Inquisitor. Of course I want to do well enough that I can enter the costume contest too but we'll see. That's a pretty ambitious costume. 
We started by doing the easy thing. We are making ghetto dress forms. I taped up my hubby and we are going to fill it up with gap fill foam. The cold weather has reduced the amount of expansion we got so it's going to take a few more cans to finish this project up. Next we need to make a list of what we need to make and start experimenting with new materials.
Here's to latex headpieces, thibra armor and some serious attention to my sewing skills.
