Luna Loony Lovegood.

Well! I couldn't blog from the hotel because the wireless wouldn't work on my computer (since upgrading to Snow Leopard my airport has been strange-- anyone else have that problem too?) I only went to Universal/WWoHP; some things came up and we had to cancel Disney and come home early and then I took a little internet break. But whatever, I loved the HP park. I got my first glimpse of the castle as we were climbing the ramp for the Dragon Challenge ride, and between the music from the movies playing all around us and seeing the castle and being surrounded by "Support Potter!" signs, I definitely got a bit emotional.

And I absolutely loved costuming Luna Lovegood, oh dear. It was my first time actually spending a lot of time on a costume and then debuting it, so it was all very exciting. I definitely want to do it again! And I'm sorry to anyone who took my picture and it turned out bad-- I didn't get a chance to practice my Luna face/pose before I was asked for lots of pictures! I was totally taken by surprise.

The entire Wizarding World of Harry Potter was amazing, as expected. We only got to spend one day there, so I didn't take as many photos as I would have liked and didn't get to go in all the shops. But we got on all the rides-- the inside of Hogwarts is phenomonal, I cannot even describe how happy I was! The portraits move and they have replicas of everything and then you go on the most wonderful motion-simulator ride and follow Harry around on a broom and giant spiders and dementors jump out at you and I was just in heaven! I can't wait to go back.


I made everything except the spectrespecs (bought those from Etsy) and the top. I love the planet skirt, I can already see that I'll wear it a lot. My friend Quinn made fun of me because I wouldn't stop petting my wig, but it was so soft that I couldn't stop touching it! Now I really want long hair.


I think Luna would have had a fashion blog!







Honeydukes!! Shelves full of exploding bon bons and ton-tongue toffee and chocolate frogs and peppermint toads. It was so pretty!










Pumpkin juice and my bff Kalyn! I lost the little pumpkin cap. :(



What I wore to the ball: Modcloth dress, vintage lace stockings, Chinese Laundry heels, Luna accessories! Jeremy was Remus Lupin and his jacket is from Naked Vintage. His button says "I ♥ Luna Lovegood." It doesn't make a ton of sense for Luna and Remus to be together but ssh! One day we'll coordinate properly.

There are lots more photos on my Flickr-- I'm still trying to organize them!
