Hi! I'm Ginny McQueen and this is my website.
I'm a cosplayer (someone who dresses up as characters from anime, video games, sci-fi, etc.) and all-around geek. Here you'll find my costumes, modeling, travel blogs, and links to various shenanigans on the web.
Add me on your networking site of choice, and keep up with my (very nerdy) life! <3
I come from the 70’s
January 09, 2009
First update of 2009!
Firstly, new costume of Yuki from Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers). Bodysuits and guns again, I can’t be stopped. Kyle was nice enough to take some pictures for me even though it was SO COLD. Shooting at night in January just isn’t the best idea. So if I look a bit uncomfy in those pictures, it’s because I was concentrating on trying not to shiver so much I would blur the photos. Also I can’t walk in heels very well, they hurt my feet. Thank goodness my next costume involves sneakers!
Also I was just invited to be a guest All-Con in Texas, so that should be fun! I haven’t been to Texas in a long while. I’ll have more updates about that, I just found out yesterday.
I hope everyone’s year is going okay so far. Stay warm, spring will be here soon! (Or at least i keep telling myself that.) This weekend I’ll be hanging out with Stripper Vash and Voltz. Wacky fun will ensue, I’m sure.
Here’s a retarded picture of me from New Years. 
The most elusive color
December 27, 2008
Who would think the color magenta would cause this much of a headache? I’m going to have to custom color a wig (or 2 wigs and some extensions). It’s gonna take forever! Oh the pains of accurate cosplay! I’m working on a lot of costumes at once right now. Sometimes I get in modes where I can’t think of any costumes I want to do, and then other times I get a wave of tons of things I want to work on. So in the next month I should have a couple new costumes. I’ve been oddly motivated.
Health-wise, I haven’t been so great. I was diagnosed with a heart murmur that might get to be an issue to the point that I might need heart surgery. So far it’s fine now, and the doctor gave me the ok to continue on as normal, even with going to the gym. I also have had unusually bad migraine headaches, and had to switch pain meds. My skin thing is slowly clearing, but isn’t gone yet. I think I’m going to find yet another Dermatologist. I’m such a frail little thing!
I’m not sure I’ll have time again to update before New Years, so I wanted to give a little recap. I know most people are always excited for a new year to come, hoping it will be better than the last. But for me 2008 has been my best year ever. Sure my health hasn’t been as great, but I physically look better than I ever have. I’ve been happy, met someone I love more than anything, kept my job and wonderful friends, and am finally starting to feel like I’m getting somewhere with my life. While I of course look forward to doing more great things, I loved this year. It was great to me.
I’m looking forward to working hard in the coming months and traveling when I can. Hope to see some of you soon!
Snow Day in Vegas
December 15, 2008
It’s been snowing all day! Yuck! Though kind of lucky for me since I woke up sick today. Two excuses not to work are better than one. I actually went outside for a minute to check it out. You can view the video of it to your right, or just click here to watch.
I feel like there was more I was going to say, but the wanting to puke has made me loose all my thoughts. Oh well. OH! I did put another photo up in the modeling section.
Here are some random pictures. The first is of Rob and myself the night I had to go meet his parents. LOL. I don’t know why I’m the only one with scary red eyes, but also holy crap am I pale. The second is from earlier today of Hayama in the snow. ^_^
Like rain on the desert
December 07, 2008
It’s raining and just plain ugly here in Vegas today, so of course my allergies are going crazy. I’m all sniffy and puffy. I’ve been wanting to make a vblog for a while, but I just haven’t found the strength to yet. I’ve been getting over various degrees of sick and drug-reactions. Not exactly my idea of fun. Plus winter has finally settled in so combine that all together and you have a grumpy, lazy girl. Luckily I have Rob who takes good care of me.
Nothing else but slow progress on stuff now. I feel like I’ll be hibernating this winter, toiling away and hoping to have something to show for it by the end. I have a few trips planned so I do want to stay on schedule. But who wants to work when you are huddled on your couch watching Dr. Who? I blame David Tennant for my lack of work ethic. Though to be fair, I am at the office right now working.
