I always feel like I'm running a fancy turkey spa on Thanksgiving. Here Tom, it's time for your salt and herbal rub down, let me get all those tender spots... Now for your buttery skin treatment... Finally, let's wrap you up nice and cozy, not too tight now... and pop you into the turkey sauna. Don't worry, I made sure the temperature is just right. I am weird, and I am completely comfortable with that.

Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me
Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me
Hip hip
Hooray
It's the best place for me
For Pinkie
With decorations like streamers and fairy-lights and pinwheels and piñatas and pin-cushions. With goodies like sugar cubes and sugar canes and sundaes and sun-beams and sarsaparilla. And I get to play my favorite-est of favorite fantabulous games like Pin the Tail on the Pony!

Today is chore and sewing day. I should be able to post pics for the base skirt of my Pinkie Pie cosplay. Yay!

I'm all about independent films, but when the sound is horrible, the actors are covered in dirt without explanation, and the most entertaining moment, a gunshot wound through the hand that the guy looks through so you get an eye in hand effect, happens in the first 5 minutes, I have to turn it off after 45 minutes and give it a low rating on Netflix. Now the only thing that looks remotely interesting is rewatching old Pokemon. Well, come on Jiggly Puff!

Hmm... decisions, decisions. Do I dye my hair green or blue?

It depends on what you're definiton of cute is. Here's a clip from one of my favorite animes that I think is very cute.

I'm watching The Santa Clarita Diet again, and I just found out it was renewed for a second season. Yay!

Hi, I just read your welcome thread. I have my bachelor's in psychology, and before I had to stop working due to medical reasons I was doing in-home Lovaas therapy with children with autism. The clinic I worked with was called Wisconsin Early Autism Project or WEAP for short. I am volunteering at the Milwaukee Ciderfest con in children's events this year and am cosplaying my favorite pony, Pinkie Pie. If you need some help with your Fluttershy, I am a professional seamstress too. I charge to make things, but advice is free. I read your intro and felt a bit a kindred spirit. Feel free to message me or not.

Hi! I dropped by to show you some ideas. I don't know if you sew or, if you do, what your skill level is. The pictures are of a sewing pattern. The skirt is Victorian era and needs a bustle to keep its shape, but if you like it, I can help with all that stuff. My Pinkie Pie Grand Galloping Gala dress has a hoop skirt. I'm also a professional seamstress and I don't mind giving advice or even talking you through something.

My best recommendation for a starter machine is a Brother. Don't go with anything too complicated, but automatic buttonhole stitches are highly recommend. Another option is to check estate sales and the like. Find an older model sewing machine in working order. If it doesn't have a manual, most can be ordered online for a small fee. My current machine is a high end Brother, it has stitches I haven't even used yet. I only recently got it. My old, now back up machine is a Kenmore Ultra-stitch 8. It's older than I am, but it still works like a dream. Brother still makes durable machines and have a 25 year warranty. Most newer machines have replaced metal parts with plastic and, as a result, break and wear out.
When you start sewing, remember, it's ok to make mistakes. I actually learned a lot when I was swearing under my breath picking thread out of a seam with the seamripper. Start with easy patterns, most have the difficulty on them. Make things for practice with crap material. I have found some at garage sales and the like. The last place is classes. They offer some at joanne's. But you only get better by sewing. I learned by having the basics and my neighbor (who was teaching me) said "you've seen me sew enough, and it's your costume, so... sew." I was 10 and, except for a few bobbin incidents, I did, and I have been ever since.
