Ageekyweasley and myself got our lightsabers last night. You know what that means.
My epic sisters. Wish I could be there with them! You can see what happens during a spontaneous shoot where the sisters are concerned… just wait til we’re in costume!
This happened last night. Light saber action at its finest.
Fun new addition to the store!
We could explain this, but we’re gonna leave it at this: if you’re not a Doctor Who fan, this will probably make no sense. If you are a DW fan… you just started singing.
I want it.
Check it out- more pictures of our shirts on real people! The real person in this case is ageekyweasley, a lovely young lady who modeled some shirts for us.
All of these shirts can be found in our geeky tshirt section!
My sweet sister rocking some of our store shirts!

Good news! We’ve got our tank tops up in the store! A lot of them are geeky motivational or demotivational jokes, but we have some other random ones as well. And many more designs on the way. We also have green tank tops, like the one you can see Lopti sporting.
The green, light grey, red, and blue tank tops are a soft tank of regular tank top design, but our black tank tops are racer backs with a fun, looser design to them- lots of options!
Hope you get as big a kick out of this as we did :)
So, I’m pretty proud of our new tanks tops. Not only are they cute and soft… a lot of the designs came to me when I was running on the treadmill and gasping for air. Personal fave… either the Quidditch World Cup (1994- year of the Triwizard Tourney) or… Maybe the floor is lava. Because I played that game a lot when I was little.
I LOVE this store. So many sweet t-shirts and tanks to choose from. AND great prices as well! CHECK IT OUT!
OK, now that my sisters have seen the sabers and we’ve all exchanged over-the-top-excitement emails, here are the pictures of all 3 sabers. This is a longer post, kind of a product review.
We purchased them from ultrasabers, a site we knew was reliable because we’ve seen their products at conventions AND because we read a bunch of posts and reviews to determine what we wanted.
First off, mine is the red one (for my Sith Jasmine costume). I got the Phantom Initiate V3 with 32” blades. Now traditionally, a Jedi’s lightsaber is 36”. However, me and the sisters are short girls, and we didn’t want to look ridiculous wielding these long lightsabers. As it is, when my hilts are attached (they come with a coupler), it stands a good foot taller than me. Which is fine, proportion wise. I got a midgrade blade- it doesn’t glow quite like an ultraedge does, but I read that the ultraedge makes the red blades look more orange like, so I wanted the harsher light of the midgrade.
Second is the Artic Blue- belonging to Ageekeyweasley to go with her Jedi Kida costume. It’s so beautiful, the pics taken on my cell don’t do it justice. It’s a gorgeous icy blue color, and she got it in the 32” blade on the Initiate LE V2 with an ultraedge blade. It looks GORGEOUS- it glows like something straight out of the Atlantis movie. I want one.
Third is the Consular Green- Siffy’s to go with her Jedi Ariel costume. It’s a 32” blade on The Aeon hilt, which is a long and beautiful hilt. She also has an Ultraedge blade, and it looks spectacular. The green is so classic Jedi, I love it. And it will look perfect with her colors for Ariel’s costume.
All three of these are quite bright- they look awesome even in a well lit room. In a dark room, well… you can see that they basically light it up! The sabers also have a nice weight to them- not uncomfortably heavy, but with enough weight that if you want to whirl them around- the balance is nice. These are technically ‘spar ready’, but I doubt we’ll be doing any sparring until after D*C, just so that we don’t nick the blades up.
We didn’t get any of these with sound, which I know we’ll all miss. In fact, I was make the sound effects myself last night when I was running around (no shame!). And if we make a movie with them, we’ll certainly edit the sounds in. However, getting the sabers with sound adds quite a hefty amount to the price tag, so we went pretty standard with these. But we love them and pretty much exploded in excitement. I’ll be mailing the blue and green to my sisters this week, and feeling jealous that they will be together and no doubt get to play around with them and take some gorgeous pictures. But- Dragon*Con is coming, and then the sith/jedi sisters will be united!
Guys? Mine is the blue one ^ ^ ^. I can’t wait to hold it. Funny- I get excited about lightsabers the way Twilight fan girls get excited about Robert Pattinson. Geek and Proud. Not ashamed.
If you didn’t already know, Siffy, Thor, and I are going to DragonCon 2013 as Jedi Disney Princesses. Here’s a “Jedi” version of Kida that siffy sketched for me. I’m so excited to get started! My light saber is already on the way! Here’s where I got mine - http://www.ultrasabers.com/default.asp
BTW - Siffy is going as Ariel and Thor as Jasmine. I can’t wait, guys.
The cat’s out of the bag…Georgey, Won-Won, and myself are doing Disney princess jedis for D*C this year. Did this quick design sketch, trying to use Ariel’s color scheme and incorporate some of her elements (the “scales” on the boots, the shell bra look), while still keeping the jedi look. Still working on my other projects in the meantime and as always, wrestling with myself over whether or not to attempt Sif’s new armor. What to do what to do.
Oh look, Siffy announced her jedi princess too :)
Looks like I should announce my Jedi Princess soon since the sisters did….What’s it gonna be??? DUNDUNDUNNNNNnnn
Progress on my chainmail
bibshirt. If you guys only knew what I go through to get these crappy pictures. There are 2 mirrors in my apartment and both of them require me to balance on something to see more than my derpy face.I’m at about 10,000 rings right now…will probably end up with about 20,000 when all’s said and done. I CANNOT wait.
My sister is freaking talented.
