<br />
I've decided that I'm going as the Corpse Bride. I have not seen the movie but I'm going to base the costume on these photos that I have found around the web.<br />

It took me forever to figure out how to sew the bodice. I think it's pretty close to the actual one - the V along the lower body could be a little sharper but I'm not going to even worry about it. I based it on a vintage Butterick pattern I found on etsy. <br />

Now I'm waiting for all the fabric paint to dry before I assemble the veil and try on the bodice with the rib cage detail. I have to wait 4 hours... and I'm not a patient person. I have to get the entire costume finished today !!<br />

We spent the night on the sidewalk to make sure that we would get in for the 10 year Firefly Reunion panel.<br />

I snuck a pillow out from our hotel to make my stay on the sidewalk a little more comfortable :) <br />

I complained and complained about how uncomfortable the sidewalk was but then ended up having a good time making friends and chatting with everyone around us. The surprise was that I got to meet Joss Whedon. He showed up at 3am to say "Hi" to everyone and to thank the fans for all their support.<br />

We waited a total of 13 hours. Believe it or not, it went by faster than we thought. Here's a picture of Nick in his Jayne hat... we are still in line but now it's daylight and we have moved inside the convention hall.<br />

The fun part for me was the panel before Firefly was "Legend of Korra". They did a live reading, they had the audience participate by making sound effects, they showed us a sneak peak of next years episodes and new costumes. <br />
Korra's remains pretty much the same - she now has longer arm guards and her top looks much more like a cheongsam<br />

After this panel, we thought that Comic Con couldn't get any better...but it did!<br />
We enjoyed the rest of the convention buying way too many t-shirts and bumping into random celebrities.<br />
We saw Ginnifer Goodwin from "Once Upon a Time". I've only watched a couple of episodes but we loved her in "Big Love". She's super adorable.<br />

I worked quite a bit on my costume this week. I wanted to just let the top go and move on but the collar was just bugging the sh*t out of me. It looked off...so I redid the entire thing. I'm glad I did because now it's a major improvement and it actually looks more like Korra's top.</div>

Next came her decorative arm band. It was also another pain in the butt. The little triangles were so much work to sew.</div>

Something so small took over 2 hours to make. Thank goodness it had a dark decorative trim on the top and the bottom because it hid all the uneveness.</div>

The pants were the easiest part to sew. They are so comfortable that I might even use them as pyjamas after the convention :) I actually used the bottom of the Kwik Sew 2943 pattern. I just omitted the front zipper and instead of a pull string waist, I just used an elastic band. I also added elastic bands at the cuff of each pant leg.</div>

So this is where I am now. I only have the blue skirt, the trim on the UGG boots and the hair ornaments left to do. I should be done by the end of the week.</div>

I decided to go ahead and make the costume, whether I wear it a Comic Con is another matter. I didn't want to use Lycra and have it look like a bodysuit, so I went with a twill type fabric with some stretch. It's much thicker than Lycra so it will have some structure and will be able to hold my fat in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This top was definitely a pain in the butt to make. I had to adjust and re-adjust over 30 times. I nearly gave up.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with the Kwik Sew pattern 2943. </div>

This was definitely the wrong pattern to use. The sleeveless turtleneck is very boxy and very loose. Even when I used the S size (and I'm usually closer to a L in everday tops) it was HUGE and very non flattering. I had to add darts, reshape the waist, take in the shoulders, reshape the turtleneck and change the shape of the armholes. What a PAIN!!<br />

After hearing me rave and rave non stop about how the baguettes are the most delicious in the world, we stopped off at Le Moulin de La Vierge. We picked this one because we saw non-stop locals going in and coming out with only baguettes.<br />

My original plan was to go shopping...but I was stupid and didn't do my research. 99.9% of the stores are closed on Sundays. ARGH! I was so looking forward to buying French Skincare at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/pharmacie-city-pharma-paris" target="_blank">Citi-Pharma in Saint-Germain</a>. I had a long, long list. I was definitely disappointed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of buying my favorite makeup remover 18$, I know have to pay double. WAHHH!</div>

Of course we couldn't leave Europe without a quick trip to Paris. After all, it's only a quick 1hr20 minute train ride from London. We left Friday evening after N finished work and arrived at our hotel around 10:30 pm. Did we go straight to bed ? Of course not, we went to see the Eiffel Tower. What an amazing view - especially with it all lit up.</div>

So what did I discover this time and what did I end up buying ?<br />
<br />
The first is a brand of handmade bath and body products called <a href="http://www.cowshedonline.com/" target="_blank"><b>COWSHED</b></a>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUw9g3PaAPoadjN_g79iRKrB3aidFsqwT62HqNNHQvU6zc_YeIxc55jXI7rhwcFIwaZka0cacn_oZUVRFS9MbKylSNPGk_mUaRhntygQV39Kop1RO6UYq8UMUwiXAJwRxPIs9UzKxNqZO8/s1600/cowshed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUw9g3PaAPoadjN_g79iRKrB3aidFsqwT62HqNNHQvU6zc_YeIxc55jXI7rhwcFIwaZka0cacn_oZUVRFS9MbKylSNPGk_mUaRhntygQV39Kop1RO6UYq8UMUwiXAJwRxPIs9UzKxNqZO8/s640/cowshed.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
According to their website, all their products are made from 100% premium essential oils. They are free from parabens, petrochemicals, sulphates and artificial fragrances and colors. I was able to try most their products at the cute little boutique hotel I was staying at (Dean Street Townhouse). Yes, the products were pretty awesome. They smelled fantastic! But I think what I loved most about COWSHED was how they named all their products, for example - their uplifting shower gel was named <b>Grumpy Cow</b>, their seductive shower gel was named <b>Horny Cow</b>, their soothing shower gel was called <b>Lazy Cow</b>, their indulgent shower gel was called <b>Spoilt Cow</b>. How cute is that ?? I think I would have bought their whole line if the exchange rate wasn't so bad. They cost 16£ each so that would have worked out to 29$ each. And then I would have to lug around 10 bottles during my entire trip which didn't sound too fun. I think maybe the next time I go back to the UK, I will treat myself to a Grumpy Cow.<br />
<br />
The second was a brand of accessories, stationary and household goods called <a href="http://waldopancake.com/" target="_blank"><b>WALDO PANKCAKE</b></a>. If I lived in the UK, you can bet that my kitchen would be filled with things like this :<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Of course it's unreasonable for me to be toting around tins throughout my 12 day trip, so I passed. Just before I walked out the store, I spotted this - I only needed 10 seconds to decide I had to have it :) This has to be the <i><b>cutest</b></i> (and most accurate) makeup bag ever.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRXg1JCuBhEh3ea1GM1tXa4Zu1cdpOSU2wxIEw8DLFA4mR3KryQnR5pk7-LXGaZuEwokQKx0btzHl-OSORS-4sxqFQrJjbI73WiwEV9MAVFYhQxgc0a6bQi7hx58pHoO4On2JUhlryDYGg/s1600/IMG_1150.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRXg1JCuBhEh3ea1GM1tXa4Zu1cdpOSU2wxIEw8DLFA4mR3KryQnR5pk7-LXGaZuEwokQKx0btzHl-OSORS-4sxqFQrJjbI73WiwEV9MAVFYhQxgc0a6bQi7hx58pHoO4On2JUhlryDYGg/s400/IMG_1150.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The third was also an accessories & household goods brand by an artist by the name of <b><a href="http://www.misterrob.co.uk/" target="_blank">ROB RYAN</a></b>. I'm so in love with his stuff. Technically, I really didn't discover him on my trip to London. I had already bought a plate set from him off of <a href="http://modcloth.com/">modcloth.com</a> in the US,<br />

but it was at Miss Selfridges that I discovered he had his artwork on a kajillion things !!! I was head over heels with this his and her mug set :<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

and all his cosmetics and small purse accessories!! So I bought the mug set and this cute little ID card/coin purse ( it fits the Oyster Card perfectly - I feel so British because I have my very own Oyster Card - lol)<br />

And finally - the last thing I found is not a British brand per se, but I have never ever been able to find it elsewhere. It's the Converse high top running shoe with the Union Jack !!! I've been to the UK 3 times and have looked everywhere for it. I finally found it on my very last day in London :<br />

<b>BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE MY SIZE </b>!!! I wanted to cry. I even contemplated about getting them one size larger... I have been checking online still to this day. They are sold out in the UK and they don't have them on the US site. Boo :(<br />
<br />
So, I ended up with these instead. Wonder Woman Converses just in time for Comic Con. They cost me and arm and a leg but you can't get them in the US (yet ?)<br />

Okay, so that's it for shopping in London. I'm going to end this post with a picture of one of the cutest fabric shops in the UK. I had to control myself in this shop since I'm such a fabric hoarder.<br />

While the mister was working (part III) - I decided to visit the Tate Modern. I could have taken the tube, but I didn't want to miss out on anything. I love walking and taking the tiny alley ways, you never know what hidden treasure you might miss if you take the taxi or the tube.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was about a 3 mile walk from where we stayed, but I didn't mind :) I ended up walking by the <b>Royal Courts of Justice</b>. Apparently, the courts within this building are open to the public. Had I known that, I think I may have just walked in and sat in on a case to see if it's like "Law and Order" but with an English accent ;) Anyhow, the building itself was cool to see - very gothic.</div>

I also passed by St. Paul's Cathedral. I was soaking wet by this time - even though I had a rain coat and an umbrella. All I could think was " Just get me to the Tate before I drown" Haha.</div>

Luckily the Tate Modern was just a 5 minute walk across the Millenium Bridge. It was a gloomy, gloomy day (had to add the 2nd gloomy to emphasize how gloomy it was :P)</div>

Yep, here are more of the art pieces displayed at the exhibition. All photos are from www.damienhirst.com I'm too lazy to write about them and I'm really not sure what they are supposed to represent anyhow. I really don't know how to appreciate art. I either like it or don't and then don't give a second thought about it. </div>

We decided to take a day trip out to Cambridge. I was pretty excited by that because the last time I was in the UK, I didn't make it out here. I was able to see <a href="http://ade11e.blogspot.com/2011/08/oxford-england.html" target="_blank">Oxford</a> and I know there is this ongoing debate on which place is better. I think someone once told me that Cambridge is a University with a town attached while Oxford is a town with a university attached. </div>

The only disappointment was that we went to Cambridge on a "bank holiday" so the famous Wren Library of Trinity college was closed to the public. I guess I will have to visit it the next time I'm in the UK :) I will definitely be back... when it's SUNNY. Haha.<br />

My hubby had to fly in for a couple of days of work and of course I decided to invite myself along :)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We decided to fly in a little early, so we can spend the weekend together before he started his work week in London. Of course - I had to get sick the night before our trip. ARGH.<br />

I had a fever, a runny nose and didn't get any sleep on the flight. I felt bad for the person sitting next to me and my infectious germs, he had to listen to me cough and blow my nose 10 hours straight. I had <u>a thousand wads </u>of tissue stuck in that back pocket of the airplane seat. I know... GROSS. My husband, on the other hand arrived all fresh and rested. He was on Virgin Atlantic sleeping in one of those fancy pods ;)<br />

I was still a travel-trooper though. I didn't want to waste a day so I went out with the aid (overdose) of DayQuil.<br />

We spent our weekend exploring London and one of the highlights was the <b>Sherlock Holme</b>'s museum. We got there by taking the tube to Baker Street. OMG, that station was just adorable :</div>

I'm pretty sure we weren't allowed to take pictures inside the castle, but I still had to sneak in a couple with the iphone . The place was too cool not to.</div>
