My Middle Earth Adventure: Tauriel

Ok, here we go.  I have taken on the making of a Tauriel costume to go see The Battle of Five Armies in the movie theaters.  I thought of this about a month ago, and I started working on it a few weeks ago, but as you all know, something always comes up when it's time to blog.  So I am finally able to fill you all in on this "little" (yeah right) undertaking.

The dress I decided to make was her archer dress.

There is a pattern for her spider dress, but I liked this one better.

The costume turned out really well!  We went to a 7:15 showing on the 16th!!!  I almost went to the Hobbit marathon, but the costume wasn't ready yet.

Sooner or later I will post how I did it, words for the wise, and so on and so forth.  

I had so much fun!!  We almost went to U-Swirl after the movie, but unfortunately they closed earlier than advertised online.

I got quite a few comments and cheers!  When we walked into the theater, my sister came up behind me and whispered, "Walk epically."  Later she told me that she saw a lot of jaws drop when I walked in the theater!!!  I will definitely wear it when I go see the movie again!! (wink wink! ;))

As to the movie....

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!

:If you have not seen The Battle of the Five Armies, I would suggest skipping the next paragraph:

It was amazing!!  I actually liked it better than the first two.  To me they did a really good job on how Thorin was consumed by greed, and his conversion.  The things I DID NOT like, was how they killed Fili!!! He's a fighter!!!  You don't just, pick him up and kill him like...like....*starts balling* *sniff* I'm ok now.. *sniff sniff*   Alright.  Anyway, another thing I did not like is how Fili and Kili died not defending Thorin, not to even mention Kili just HAD to die for Tauriel.  Don't get me wrong!  I LOVE Tauriel, but a dwarf and an elve do NOT BELONG TOGETHER!!!!!  If I had had my way I would have put Legolas and Tauriel together.  I mean, they are perfect together!!!  Not to mention I have the biggest crush ever on Legolas!!  He's plain AWESOMENESS!!  The way he walks, the way he's soooooo cute!!!!!!  Then there's he's an elve.  But, I wish Legolas' fighting could have been a little more realistic.  I loved watching it, but there's no way he could do it in real life.  That made it 10 times cooler, but I don't think he could've actually steered a troll, knocked down a tower that stayed in tact, and then, the best of all, run up falling rocks!  That was the coolest thing ever, but there were WAY too many people laughing in the theater while I was gasping for breath!!!  Almost from the beginning I was crying.  I have to say it was one of the BEST MOVIES EVER!!!!!

I will try to post as soon as possible, but life has been very busy lately.  Until next time, namárië!
