I’m selling Sailor V – ! I have no intention of wearing her again and rather than take up space in my closet I’d like to see her go to someone who wants to wear her.
My motivation for cosplay lately has been nonexistant. I don’t know if it’s the unbearably hot weather or just general apathy. I still have a pantload of unfinished costumes in various stages of unfinished-ness… what else is new?
I NEED TO FINISH SOMETHING. WHY AM I SO LAZY?
I’m going to go give myself a pep talk.
So, hey, shiny things are pretty awesome.
I also get a lot of questions about tiaras and figured I may as well write a quick tutorial for them since it’s pretty easy and I kind of love this technique and use it for lots of things other than bob moon tiaras. Who knows, maybe it’ll help someone else out down the road and that’d be pretty cool.
Cancelled on Dragon*Con.
While it would’ve been intense amounts of fun, it just wouldn’t be worth how much it was going to cost. In its place Kelly and I are going to hit up NYAF because it’s a hell of a lot closer and a lot of fabulous people are going to be there to hang out with.
Obviously I meant to post the above image in January… since, you know, we’re about halfway through the year now.
…Better late than never?
I was going to add the page for Usagi related costumes today and realized that the majority of photos I have of those costumes were taken during debaucherous hours of the morning at conventions. There are really folders full of climbing on statues and photo-bombing other people in these costumes - OH THE MEMORIES. Anyway, here are a few of the less awful photos (I’m pretty sure all of these are from ‘07).
Since there’s something of a gap before the next convention I went about organizing the work room and figuring out how many started-but-not-finished costumes I have that I actually plan on finishing. It’s hilarious actually, there are eleven of them. I’m pretty sure that says something about my attention span.
I’m sick of them taking up room with their unifinished-ness and intend to make a dent in the pile (then again, you know what they say about the road to hell…).
I’ll be uploading a new site design sometime today, so if there’s any wonky-ness on the site that’s probably why.
New design is uploaded… mostly. Some pages are missing here and there and it’s a bit rough around the edges, but I’m happier with it, so wooooo.
The drive was only around 13 hours, but on an hour of sleep it was awful and made stupid o’clock last foreveeeeeeerrrr.
Change of plans for ACen. We’ll do FFX-2 girls some other time. And this is pretty much why I should never post progress pictures, it’s like saying, “I WILL NEVER DRESS UP AS THAT.” As soon as you say that, that will be the next thing you dress up as. It’s like some kind of weird cosplay curse.
After what feels like waffling forever between costume choices – Kelly and I finally settled on some stupid costumes that we’ll be able to pull out in time for ACen.
I know we’re catching the FFX-2 bus a little late here, but what can you do? They’re mostly straightforward and inexpensive costumes and we get to dress up with Sam again. That last one is really the main selling point, because, let’s face it – FFX-2 was an awful game. Great world designs, but awful game.
The downside (there are actually A LOT of these) is that Kelly hates Paine with a fiery passion and I think Yuna’s a bit of an idiot. But aside from that…
I’m trying out this new concept of posting progress pictures while I’m working on stuff. It’s weird. I don’t know how I feel about it.
Due to some very persuasive people it looks like I’ll be going to Anime Central. I mean, really, 14+ hours in a car? How does that not just scream, “FUN”?
I have no idea what to make or bring and the workroom looks like a war zone. So hey, that’s cool. See you at ACen?
Apparently I only know how to pose one way in that outfit. And seriously, I’m boycotting Italian food for the sake of my pants.
Okay, enough DC – on to other costumes. Preferably ones that aren’t pinned together.
AB progress. I was originally going to wear Supergirl but changed my mind at the last minute because Wonder Woman is just better (also I realized supergirl basically wears a bob moon fuku and I’m pretty sick of those). The work room has been kind of overwhelmed with red, white, and blue lately. How patriotic.
Anime Boston was ghetto-cosplay-con-’97 and I literally pinned myself into both costumes and forgot parts of one. But it was so much fun. So so so much fun.
