I'm too tired to write any of the posts I would like to right now, so I'm going to talk about more Phoenix Rising planning.
I want to be costumed for everything except (assuming they get accepted) my workshop and fanfiction presentation -- it's important to me to be neutral for those two things for different reasons, that I think should be obvious. If I get to do the fanfic presentation, I'll probably wear my sari, because it is not everyday-wear for me, but also not a costume and no HP specific.
Anyway -- my full men's Regency outfit with scary horned leather mask will be perfect for the ball. I will probably wear my silver Regency gown to the opening feast. I'll probably wear my Severus stuff for all in-hotel con stuff otherwise. the real problem is off-site events: I'll probably get a better handle on that when I hear what other people are doing -- but there's also the temperature isue. I've been to New Orleans in May and it can be brutal, and while Kali might well find the idea of Severus swooning hillarious, I don't. Okay, i think it's hillarious too, but not when it's me having heat stroke. I should do a basic Slytherin Hogwarts uniform probably too, if I want to be a little more chill than the layers and layers of potions master armour.
It's going to be wonderful dressing in all the weird ways that suit me best for days on end.
Also, dude, Kali's Internet is restored. Descensus RSN.
I MUST go to the tailor tomorrow.
