Just realized I've been a little *too* in character

I've been messing with these character creators again, and here you see from left to right, Briony, Calista, and Aurelia, my main character and her sisters from Beauty is Blind.  I like to do these "character creator" games so that I can get a better image of my characters.  Besides, it's fun.  Though I'm not sure why Calista's hair is braided...

Anyway, I found this awesome one and did Calista's birthday dress.  The game had the option of making a male, so I set to doing Damien.  And I realized, I had no idea what he looked like!  Even in beast form, much less human form!  I'd been in Calista's head (it is first person, you know) that it didn't matter what he looked like versus what he felt like or sounded like.

I don't even know his hair and eye color!  I know Calista and Gabriel (her stillborn twin) have/had curly brown hair and purple eyes, due to the curse.  Briony is the green eyed redhead, and Aurelia is the blue eyed blonde.  Her father, Flavian has blond hair- and brown eyes, I think.  Her mother Elani has green eyes and brown hair.  But Damien?  I have no idea.

Color	Indication
Red	Unconditional Love
Orange	Carelessness, cowardice
Yellow	Anxious, worried, or scared
Emerald Green	Jealous, envious
Blue	Calm
Indigo	Unsure, insecurity
Violet	Courage
Magenta	Fun loving
Pink	Caring, kind-hearted
Black	Angry, hateful
Ice Blue	Cold hearted
Dark Blue	Between angry and calm
Grey	Sad, mourning, grief, sorrow
Green	Indignation, Pride
Sea Green	Fear
Turquoise	Happiness, joy
Pale Blue	Timid
Teal	Apprehension
Lavender	Amused, in wonder
Brown	Pity
Aqua	Surprise
Mahogany	Repentance
Dark Red	Shame
Puke Green	Disgust
Gold	Acceptance, respect
Plum	Frustration
Dark Orange	Deceit, lying

This is the beginning of the color spectrum that Calista "sees" in her life smudges.  So I don't really want to give him brown hair, because that will mean "pity" to her.  She associates these emotions with these colors and has been doing so her entire life, and when the curse of her blindness is broken... I thought about red hair.  I can't do black, obviously.  And what about eyes?  I kinda can't do green (fear, pride, jealously) or brown (pity) and how realistic would it be for him to have purple?  Grey wouldn't work (sadness) Hazel would look like disgust to her.. and that only leaves blue, but would that be copying Disney?  Or am I just overanalyzing this?
As of now, I've got him as a blue-eyed redhead...

Okay...why do I write so many posts about dresses?

To answer that, it's probably because I'm at a time in my life where I need to get a lot of dresses (ie prom??)  And I don't think I ever mentioned to you guys what my prom dress looks like.  I bought it for next year in June on sale for $40.  The original price? $179.  Oh yeah, I'm good.

Anyway, here's what it looks like:
I like how it's purple, (my favorite color) but is still in the style of Belle's dress from Beauty and the Beast, which if you can't tell by now, is my favorite movie and she's my favorite princess... you get the picture.  This picture isn't all that great and it looks better on me than on the model.  I guess you can define better in your own way, but since I have bigger hips, the skirt puffs out more and looks more like a ball gown, without having too much dress.  I also like how the pickups are detailed with little jewels that remind me of stars, more specifically, stars in the Keidreian sky, which is described to be purple.  Also, it's a wonderful reminder of Calista and a great cross of my "Belle" and Disney's.  Here's a detail of the beading:

I immediately saw it and thought of a tiara.  I've always wanted to wear a tiara for prom because it's the one night of your life that you get to be a princess before your wedding.  I completely missed out on the cute little girl princess stage (I seriously never got a single Disney princess dress-up dress while my sister had a whole crate- I just wasn't interested)  I'm making up for it now.  Anyway, I found a few tiaras that matched it.


But I just couldn't get this little number out of my head:

It's $12 and it would be perfect on a small half-bun style like Belle wears.  And I'm not complaining about the price.  It's cheaper than Claire's!  Still, it's gold and wouldn't match the silver of my prom dress, so I had all but given up on this little simple circlet.
Until I remembered one tiny detail: I can't wear my prom dress for my piano recital! Or homecoming (if I go...who knows?)  As much as I loved my purple dress, in my heart, I still kinda wanted a yellow "Belle" dress.  And when I remembered my earlier fascination with Disneybound, I thought, what if I Disneybounded this?  So I've spent the last hour or so on the internet looking for a $50 or less yellow ruffled dress or a yellow dress with roses that would go with this, and it has to have straps.  I'm not liking the strapless thing very much, especially for a piano recital.  But a lot of the dresses have ruffles and flowers in places that would be highly unflattering on me but would look great on Elli (the bust area-yep, we're the extremes, I'm huge, she's tiny.  Not fair, but still)  And then there's this great one shoulder dress with roses on it that would be lovely, but it's not going to look good, I can already tell. Oh yeah, did I mention it had to be modest?  And that it either has to be knee length or floor length, nothing inbetween or I look shorter than I am?  Yeah.

This looks promising, if not really short.

However, those dresses that look kinda short on the models will look fine on little 4'9"er here. (nickname from my friend Goldie)

This is pretty, but a bit much for a piano recital...sigh $55, too...

Let's pay $40 for a fitted t shirt that got mauled by an angry person with scissors... and call it a dress!

Like I need sparkles there...and this is a shirt, not a dress.

Uh, looks like you forgot a piece of the pattern...can I have some fabric with my dress?

This is called Nom de Plume...now "One Jump" from Aladdin is stuck in my head...
one jump ahead of my doom, next time, gonna use a nom de plume...
Looks like a skating costume though.

Okay, done making fun of random immodest dresses... I need to go to bed.

PS:
I'm on the skit team for Vacation Bible School at my church this year. It's my last year, and I was hoping for a bigger part.  Most girls just end up being sheep or something.  This year's theme is The Luminous Mysteries, which is another way of talking about Jesus' ministry (Baptism in the Jordan, Wedding at Cana, Transfiguration, Institution of the Eucharist...something else I can't remember...) Anyway, the skits always do a wacky theme like Inspector Gadget, the Jetsons, game show... this year's theme was suggested by none other than me and Elli!

Elli used to sing this song on the way to church: "We're off to see Jesus, the wonderful Son of God!" sung to the tune of "We're off to see the Wizard"
...and yes, you've guessed it- we are totally doing Wizard of Oz theme this year!  whohoo!  It was like my favorite movie as a child.  And we just got parts today!  And I'm...not Dorothy, but I'm Glinda! The smart one who gives dimwitted Dorothy and her even dumber companion Scarecrow a Bible and tells them to find Jesus.  This means...I have to wear pink! ek.  Oh well, the things I do for drama... wonder what sort of costume I'll get?  Find out on August 5th, I guess.

G'night people...

Disneyness that goes on forever... :D

So... I'm always discovering new things.  Today, I am supposed to be doing college-y stuff, like looking for applications, and scholarships, signing up for the ACT...looking for a job, emailing my old english professor to see if she'll recommend me to do student tutoring next semester... summer's slipping away, and senior year is already upon me... *yikes*

Instead, I discover two things.  Pintrest.  And DisneyBound.  At the same time.  Here's what I found on pintrest (via facebook)

Okay.  You got me.  I only care about Aladdin and Flynn at the end... way ahead of you.  Yeah, I almost died laughing.

Disneybound, for those of you who have not discovered it, makes outfits based on Disney characters (or in some cases, songs, as in "I see the light")Elli wants this.  Badly.  I can see why.

Surprisingly enough, I'm not a fan of most of the Belle outfits (yes, there's about 3 versions of her yellow dress, most which I can't stand, one of her blue dress, and her green one.  I like the green one)

This one's one of my favorites.  It may have something to do with the fact I was reading TrudiRose's Gaston fanfiction this weekend...("Just Rewards" and "A Man of Stature"-Belle doesn't get out in time, Gaston knocks Adam unconscious and threatens to torture him if Belle won't marry him.  Then the Enchantress curses Gaston to be a dwarf until he can find someone who loves him... when he breaks the curse, he even screws that up... but he fixes it.  It's good.  Read it.) 

I like the guy inspired outfits better than the girls...
Especially this one-the ruffled shirt! And the boots!
The one yellow dress Belle one I don't hate... but am not terribly crazy about...

This is what I'm talking about...ugly!
Mrs. Potts!

Adorable!  the shoes are awesome!
They did Phillipe!

I love this dress!

Enough Beauty and the Beast...

I can dress like Abu?

Awesome! (the hair bow!!!)
If Georgette were human, she'd definitely wear this... this is the most accurate one I've seen:

Susan!

FOR NARNIA!!!!(sorry, couldn't resist that...)
Aww, Melody...
Gotta love the treble clef thing
and with her mommy-
Dinglehoppher- I mean, fork, earrings!  Aww!
I was so confused about this one...feeling very stupid for not knowing what it was... I mean, there's no character named Wisp, is there?
...It's from Brave, the Will-of-the-Wisps... Elli says.  Me: oooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!! I get it now! *lightbulb*  It's pretty...

Elli's been on a mission for a new swimsuit and I saw this one and thought of her:
How hard can it be to find a little girl's size twelve version of this?  In a tankini, of course.  No bikinis allowed in our house.  I started looking- apparently, very hard.

This is adorable.  I would wear this.  No joke.

Then, of course, there's this-

*tilts head* Belle...Star Wars... Wait, is the Beast a wookie?  WHAT?!? *mind blown*

Okay, I'm done with that... for now.

Blast from the past- remember all those magazine covers for Disney princesses I did a while back?  Well, I discovered Prince ones... here goes...

Ceramic unicorns, apples, noses...frying pans... this thing's got it all. :D

Okay, I've seen this movie twice, so maybe that's why I don't find it super hilarious, but I do like "Top Chop: Naveen's mincing tips"

"Let's get down to business!" "Mysterious as the dark side of the moooon!" "What do we want? A girl worth fighting for!" Gotta love it when they shamelessly quote song lyrics
DRAGON, NOT LIZARD...*shakes head* Lucky crickets...

Hades' way to burn fat- with your flaming hair!
We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, we carry on... we go home happy.
Phil's boy...
Oh, note about Hercules: as awesome a movie as it is, don't watch it the first night of a residential VBS camp for kids- they see baby Herc and ask, "Is that Jesus?"  They get all confused... (not a smart idea, people...)

Willow Trees: more than just your average tree
JOHN SMITH: the person to watch this year- discovers a new world and makes friends with the chief- beat that!

Deadly pet tigers.  All this for a loaf of bread?
Why Magic Carpet Rides are the perfect Romantic date...(well, duh!)
Genie says no...

And these- ads?

I love the villain ones... and look closely... The frying pan is made by Corona Co, the compass by Virginia Company. And 20 cents for the atlantis necklace? What a deal- can't even get a candy bar for that much anymore...and ultimate power?  Wow.

Hey, these are new!


Mulan... haha!
Ever want love advice from the princesses?

Thank you, Jasmine.
Don't know if I've done these yet-

Always wanted to know how to make gooseberry pie...



That looks really cool- and of course it's National Geographic...

He looks kinda weird, but I like how he's holding the necklace.

No carrots.  Prince Philip is one of my favorite princes- someone pointed out that he looks like a grown up Peter Pan... I still think Sleeping Beauty should be called Prince Philip because Philip's the main character- all Aurora does is sleep.  Boring!  This is good.
How to deal with crazy sisters-in-law... help get your sanity back-I never thought of dealing with them as sisters-in-law- ouch, Charming!  Of Mice and Men- the tale of Jacques and Gus.  Cinderella used a cleaning service?

How to deal with your wife's guy friends...haha.  Someday my princess will come... nice.
Can't forget, an apple a day, Ferdinand.

Okay, wow:




haha...

I knew she was there!


hahahahahaha- Tarzan! Can't...stop...laughing!
I need to stop...


Ariel...Belle... They're all crying because if Snow White dies and fails, they'll never exist.  Aww!
Don't they go good together?
Seriously, these people look like they're in the same movie

What is Adam doing to Shang? hmm...


Belle's face...! Apparently, Charlotte stole the Princes- but it looks like they all got em back.

Gaston keeps blowing out Hades' hair... haha
Hellfire!
no really, literally.

Don't mess with the potions, people...

Aww, Belle and Rapunzel are friends (it's me and Elli! Reading together!)
Belle's so excited, Rapunzel's just in the zone.  That's totally me and my sister...
Showed this to Elli and she says "That will be me someday, with my hair all over the bed..." (she wants long long hair...personally, I can't stand long hair.  Once it starts getting caught in my armpits, I chop it off...to like, my chin)
Conversation:
Me (Belle): Guess what, Elli?  Here's where she meets Prince Charming, but she doesn't know it yet- that's not til chapter three.
Her (Rapunzel): Shut up, Haili.  I don't care.  I'm trying to read.
((so, so true... down to the way we're sitting.  I always read (well, do EVERYTHING cross legged- except drive...) and she's always lying on her stomach.  She's even the blond one (albeit dark blonde) with blue-green eyes, I'm the brown haired, hazel eyed one (and yes, Belle has hazel eyes-they said so on her profile thing.  Plus all her merchandise has greenish brown eyes.  Elli's got the side sweep thing, I've got the flyaway bangs with the one hair that won't pick a side.  And I like to put my hair in ponytails and tie it with a big ribbon bow.  I get so excited when I read.  Elli likes painting, I like stories... it's kinda creepy.  I like horses, she likes anything small and cute, so she'd love Pascal. We're both barefoot a lot, but I wear flats more than anything else. Oh, and her favorite movie's Tangled, and mine's Beauty and the Beast.  Coincidence?  I think not.))

And of course Merida and Mulan do archery together...
While Tiana and Snow White cook...

Pocahontas goes for a swim with Ariel...
And then everyone hangs out at Ariel's grotto:


Cinderella talks about shoes, Belle is extremely interested in Ariel's book- she's never read the real story of mermaids, Pocahontas makes fast friends with Flounder, and Jasmine and Ariel play "He loves me/He loves me not" Ariel makes a note to ask Eric to take her to Tiana's Place for their next date...

Disney Dance party!

Rapunzel takes them on a boating outing for her birthday party.  (Love the reflection!)


Okay, really long post.  I'm done now.  For real.

Disney freak is over... maybe.  For now.
Haili


oh, and by the way, I own nothing.  They're from Disneybound and Petite Tiaras.  Not trying to take anything, just share what I like.  :D
