Ok so my boyfriend Brian works mostly at the Jedi Training Academy at D*sneyland and he shared a very amusing story with me. A story about Christian Bale at the park. =D It was such a cute story I asked him if I could share it in my journal and he agreed.

So this was all copied and pasted from his journal.

Eugh...Ok I have a problem with this guy.

It started when he posted a rude comment on one of my photos. It was a picture of me and rurouni_jedi wearing our D*sney Halloween costumes of Alice and Belle, and he said something along the lines of "What is this? I thought Disney only chose hot girls to play characters." And I wrote a rather peeved letter back and blocked him from commenting again.

Later on I saw that he had taken a picture from Daekazu on devArt and used it to make this manip. Granted, he is very skilled with Photoshop and I actually DO like a lot of his graphics (I mean these ones are downright awesome). But for that picture he gave no credit to the artist, and I commented saying he should and gave a link back to Daekazu's gallery. This guy then deleted my comment and blocked ME from his account. And I don't get it, because on the rest of his gallery he seems like a nice guy! He's polite to everyone else and pretty well spoken. It makes no sense.

Lately he's also been posting these kinda photos showing the various roles the girls play. On one hand, there is no rule that says he can't do this, but from a CM point of view it's bad. It kinda ruins the magic, and I know that many of the girls do NOT like this kinda stuff. On Micechat people were saying that these girls should be flattered and even honored that they notice them in other roles, but I spoke directly to a princess/fairy who said it was very upsetting. It made her feel bad as a cast member, saying she felt like she had failed at her job at keeping the magic. And she hadn't even done anything, it was just from people comparing her photos like this. It's disrespectful. >=/

Ok so rebel__princess and I need some help! We're both planning on doing Giselle costumes (I'm aiming to get mine done by Comic-Con), but we're having a lot of trouble finding the right wig styles and colors. We've tried a bunch of wig stores all the way from Mission Viejo to Anaheim to LA with no luck.

Since people have been sending me links n' stuff, I should get my opinion out there about the new pictures from Tim Burton's Alice.

Alice? I love her. I have high hopes for the actress and even though Tim TOTALLY stole the idea from me, I love the idea of her as an adult and running back to Wonderland to escape a marriage proposal she doesn't want to go though (*coughWCMIcough*). Oh Tim, are we gonna have to break out the lawyers? XD

Hatter? I want to like him, I really do. And just like before, I am not going to judge the character until I actually see Johnny perform. I guess I like the fact that he's a red-head and of course he looks eccentric. I do like the costume design so far. But the white face and fuchsia lips? Ehhhh...

The Red and White Queens are whoa, freaky looking. White Queen not so much, but Red Queen is REALLY characterized! I mean, that's just gonna be awkward to watch. It was strange enough seeing Martin Short's massive head bouncing around on his shoulders (despite being one of my favorite Hatters depicted on film).

The Tweedles are creepy and ugly as sin. Which for me personally isn't right, mainly because I'm so used to the Tweedles at D*sneyland. I mean ours are actually cute! Of course I'm a little biased considering my boyfriend once played a Tweedle, but still!

The scenery and set design? I love it. It's wistful and creepy and everything Wonderland is supposed to be. I'm also still wondering how much CG vs live action there will be, but considering they finished principal shooting in just 40 days, I'm assuming it'll be a lot of CG. Which isn't bad, I just hope Tim mixes it well. He's so good with animation, but I have no clue how he'll do with CG. So overall, still reserving judgment. I swear though, if Hatter falls in love with Alice I'm gonna freak. I don't see HOW it would happen, considering Johhny's appearance (I mean I just don't know if audiences would go for that), but still, any Hatter/Alice pairing makes me a little giddy inside. And yet I want Tim to stop stealing my ideas. If there's a purple squirrel in this movie that acts as Hatter's conscience, I'm suing! ;p

A little bit of happiness came to me the other night. There's a musical snow globe that sat on a shelf behind my desk for display purposes, and people would wind it up ALL the time and it played it's little jingle. After days and days of listening to it, I began to hate the damn thing.

Well at LONG LAST it FELL from its shelf the other night right behind me and shattered! HAPPY DAY! The weird thing is that there was no one really around it. I think it was just placed on the shelf funny, and eventually fell. Maybe it jumped itself because it could feel the hatred seething from me. Huzzah!

What's also nice is that the soundtrack in our store has been broken for weeks. I enjoy working to music and all, but this was 40 minutes of the same D*sney songs repeated over and over all day. And they weren't even GOOD D*sney songs, they were the kinda that got annoying very quickly. They said they put in a request to maintenance to have it fixed but I have been perfectly FINE without music. I hope it stays that way for a while.

Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse since 1977, passed away yesterday. I was sad when I heard it but then this just freaking broke my heart...

So a LOT of things have happened. Most importantly, I moved into a new apartment with Kait near D*sneyland and we've spent the past week moving everything in and the place is an absolute train wreck. XD The apartment itself is great and pretty affordable, but all of our junk is still lying around. But it's nice living closer to work and having my own room again. Yay! I'm almost settled in and as soon as I am, I'll get started on the commissions I have waiting (namely jjthefourth's shoes).

Also I'm officially registered for Comic-Con and The Gathering! I'm getting a Giselle gown made (her pink Mucha one) for Comic-Con and I'll hopefully have an Edward with me. I still wanna do Alice and Mad Hatter, but that depends on Sam's schedule. Also I don't know if it'll happen, but I would love to do a Dr. Horrible/Penny cosplay with my boyfriend. I think he'd make a cute Dr. Horrible. X3

Regarding costumes, my friend rebel__princess, who put the sexy princesses together last year could use some help. She's adding a TinkerBell to the group and she could get a better deal on purchasing wings from Fancy Fairy with someone. If anyone out there wants to buy a set of wings, let her know! It's cheaper if you buy them in pairs. Alone they would cost $275 but if you buy two at once, they go down to $200 each.

Also, I hate that Celebrate! A Street Party at Dland made me start listening to Ricky Martin again. XD

Hey guys, I'm doing kind of an auction! But just here from my LJ.

So a very dear friend of mine needs a bit of help. Her mother is being evicted from her home, but she needs money to make rent just for this month so she can at least have time to search for a new place to live. I'm holding this charity auction to help raise money that will all go to her mother.




So if you've seen my gallery, you know I do shoe art on white canvas Vans. You can see samples here and here. If you're interested in a pair, just place your highest offer in the comments on this entry.

+ The winner will tell me their shoe size, and what they want drawn on them. I will purchase the shoes out of my own pocket.

+ As for shipping, I'm asking the buyer to pay that price. What the shipping price will be is unknown yet since I have to purchase the shoes first.

+ Like always I prefer Paypal, but in this case other options are available, like money order, etc.

+ I won't accept anything lower than $150.

+ The auction will end Sunday, April 12 at 10am (I live in California, pacific standard time), and the shoes will go to the highest bidder.

We're looking to raise several hundred dollars, but any amount will a help! Also, I would like to keep the comments organized and to the point. Please do not comment unless you have a question concerning the shoes or if you are placing an offer.

Update: Since people have been asking, if you would simply like to make a seperate donation, you can do that here.

Update again: The auction has ended! jjthefourth is the winner, bidding $350! Thank you SO MUCH guys! This will help Jenny and her family out so much!
