OH HI TUMBLR I DIDN’T FORGET YOU WERE HERE.
So this photo is practically ancient history by now, and I’ve replaced the wig, gotten new shoes, and I’m about to redo the entire neck portion of this dress, but yeah. Have some properly shot Holdo! I love her, she is amazing.
Most people would spam all their social media at once, but I'm not that on top of my online presence, hahaha. Behold, Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo. This dress is my pride and joy right now, I'm so happy with how it turned out. I'm also happy that Space Luna Lovegood is so awesome.
PSA: Jamin of Leia’s Metal Bikini is a Holocaust denier
Look, I’ve never particularly liked the guy as I found him to be a skeezy sexist bag of dicks, and I’ve held that opinion for a solid decade. But finding out he’s the literal kind of Nazi is beyond the pale.
I’m not screencapping the whole thing because it’s gotten really long and I only want to post this guy’s name all over the internet, but a couple of choice comments:
When confronted with the fact that all this is HELLA RACIST:
So there it is. Jamin Fite is a racist, and has transcended Godwin’s Law (and did so on the Jewish new year, of all fucking days). If you have a mind to make a Huttslayer Leia costume, do not fucking give this guy your dollars, there are non-Nazi bikini fabricators out there.
Well, a day has gone by, and it turns out he’s very sad we called him a Nazi.
Aside from the fact that this is a classic nonpology, his YouTube favourites (now made private) definitely confirm he’s a Nazi, so I for one am not going to apologize for not watching blatantly disgusting revisionist Nazi-sympathizer videos.
This is not photoshopped, this is real, and until the page was made private, I was sending links to the skeptics. His subscriptions were equally horrifying, but he has apparently deleted his YouTube channel altogether once he found out that PEOPLE DON’T FUCKING LIKE NAZIS.
Yeah, he likes heading out to fancy dress parties DRESSED LIKE A FUCKING NAZI but social media and those SJWs, man. They’re the real problem.
TL;DR Jamin Fite is a Nazi and I will do everything in my power to make sure that fact comes up any time you search him or Leia’s Metal Bikini.
REVIVING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT CAN GET WORSE???
In a true example of how 2016 is a complete dumpster fire and actual Nazis feel much cooler about being Nazis now, Jamin has un-deleted his page and just decided to embrace his shittiness.
Basically, I WILL NEVER STOP POSTING ABOUT HOW THIS GUY IS A NAZI AND DOES NOT DESERVE ANYONE’S SUPPORT OR BUSINESS. I am legitimately not sure why we still have 54 Facebook friends in common.
Also not sure if the “Hail God Emperor Trump” post on his page is supposed to be a joke, but if it is it’s not funny.
1. Holocaust Denier
2. Anti-Semite
3. Actual Nazi
4. Conspiracy theorist who responds to tragedy by proclaiming it’s fake, with no reason to believe that it is fake whatsoever.
I mean honestly if you weren’t anti-Jamin by now I really can’t do anything else but Jamin Fite is an absolute shitstain upon humanity and a Nazi, and I will repeat that until he goes out of fucking business because Nazis don’t deserve your dollars.
It’s going to be a long four years if this shit keeps up, but all I can do is encourage you to buy from PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT NAZIS.
HEY EVERYONE I’M SURE YOU’RE SO GLAD TO SEE THIS POST COME BACK. But guess who was a proud marcher in Charlottesville?
That’s right, he’s one of the pasty-faced tiki torch enthusiasts. Man, I appreciate how open this guy has become about being a complete and utter fucking Nazi toolbag.
Oh yeah, and he’s been going after ladies in the Slave Leia community who post even the most generic of anti-bigotry statements. Because heaven forbid anyone meet even the minimum requirements of decency, no, that is simply a bridge too far!
I think his facebook is gone (again), apparently this guy can’t come out of hiding without saying something so fucking stupid he has to go into hiding again.
To review, NEVER BUY A LEIA BIKINI FROM JAMIN FITE. Tell your Hutt-slaying friends. I’ve also heard it suggested to make a calendar of dudes rocking the bikini, even if it’s the cheap-ass Rubies version, and use the proceeds to donate to some excellent Jewish foundations. I think that’s a pretty rad idea. Even individual print sales of that would rock. I support raising money for causes he would hate, using imagery he’s been using to lift himself up for over a decade.
Look at him, he’s so cute. So cute, in fact, that my coworker Brent (of Curious Props) and I decided to make a small army of them for our teammates on the Trolls Holiday Special (coming November 2017!).
We made 12 originally, and the process was such a breeze that we decided there should be a tutorial! So here goes....
First things first, gather your supplies:
1. Hot glue gun
2. Glue sticks (Target brand pictured here, but I really like Gorilla glue sticks)
3. Pipe cleaners (6 per spider)
4. 1 sheet black felt
5. Purple and white puffy paint
6. Yellow spherical beads (4 per spider, big enough to be eyes)
7. Extra fine tip Sharpie
8. 3″ neon green pom pom (1 per spider)
9. 1″ neon green pom poms (6 per spider)
10. scissors (not pictured)
Start with the slowest bit.
In a surprise twist, it turned out that waiting for the puffy paint to dry was the most time consuming part about this craft, so get it out of the way first. Maybe even the day before, if you can swing it. It doesn’t take fully overnight to dry, but it does take several hours.
The mouth should be just over an inch in width. I found the easiest way to draw it out was to draw the upper and lower lips, then connect the sides.
For the teeth, it’s really just a few small squeezes of the bottle. Just don’t overdo it, as that will a) get everywhere and b) increase your already long drying time.
Note: while this is puffy paint it actually absorbs into the felt and dries flat. While it does this, however, set it aside for the actual spider construction!
Make some legs
Each leg is made of a single pipe cleaner folded into thirds, and then twisted together. I had a great deal of success taking the last third and simply wrapping it around the other two thirds. Make six of these.
Build yourself a spider!
Take your 3″ pom pom and spread it open such that you can see the center bundle. Pat it flat, then one at a time glue each individual leg to the center in the above pattern.
After your legs are attached, Slather them with just a comical amount of hot glue- you don’t want these suckers moving anywhere. While that large pool of hot glue is drying (but after giving it just a few seconds so you don’t burn yourself), gently take the pom pom fluff from the front and back sides of the spider and press them on to the glue. This will hide your leg joints.
Attach the feet!
It only takes a dab of hot glue to attach the feet, but make sure there’s enough that you can fluff the 1″ pom poms all the way around the bottom of the pipe cleaner.
Once you’ve done this and the glue has dried, you can bend the legs such that the spider looks actually like a spider! Take this opportunity to clear away any fine hot glue strands that are lingering.
Now on to the face!
Once your puffy paint has dried, you’ll want to cut out around the mouth, but leave some felt at the top to glue your eyes. You’ll want to draw a line of hot glue all the way across the top.
Next, press your beads into the glue, starting in the center and moving out. The center two beads should line up with the two teeth.
Next up, simply take that extra fine tip sharpie and draw the black part of the eyes on the beads, and then trim off the excess felt!
Finally, put your face on your spider!
This is pretty straightforward. Just dab a generous amount of hot glue on the back of the face, and place it where you’d like the face to be on your spider! I recommend placing it a little higher than you’d think, as gravity does tend to take over and your face will sink a little bit.
But that’s it! You’re done! You can now pose your spider, put him wherever you want, or make a dozen and hand them out to your friends! They’re simple to make, super cute, and the friendliest little spiders you’ll ever meet.
I know there's a lot of interest in the TLJ Rey costume right now, so this is what my tunic looks like! It will require some modifications to fit other people with other bodies, but hopefully the shapes will be a good start!
Note: since we haven't seen the back yet, and I'm not really relying that much on a 6" action figure for details, there is some guesswork involved, but nothing that shouldn't be easily modified if I'm wrong! I've noted all the places where I had to guess.
Feel free to share, and live your Rey dreams! If you make a tunic using this pattern, do tag me as I'd love to see your work!
I only wish to share the truth of the universe. My Immortal was not written as a joke. It was taken seriously in the mind of its author. I know much. I have seen the lost, unpublished chapters. I know the truth about the rift that occurred between the author and her friend. I know it all. Because I know where to find the author herself.
This is what it feels like to be Agent Mulder. I want to chase you down eight flights of a parking garage, screaming at you about what your name is and how you know this, desperate to know if I can trust this information.
