AOD

I’m coming down for AOD this weekend. I will be working during the con so I won’t have too much free time, but I will be walking around all weekend! So please do come and find me and say hi. :) So far as costumes I thought it be the perfect chance to finish up Nia and wear her. List time yes?

AOD 2010 Costume List
Saturday: Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier with some fellow LOVELY MacrossF people. :D D
Sunday: Time-Skip Nia Teppelin from Gurren Lagann

I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they were considering hitting up AOD, so now of course I’m curious as to who actually decided to go. *hint hint*

2009 Cosplay Review.

December 31st, 2009 - 
Tags:



Top Row L->R:

Emerald from Sailor Moon R, Eclair from Kiddy Grade, Hungary from Hetalia, Sophitia from Soul Calibur II, Hikaru from Magic Knights Rayearth.

Bottom Row L->R:
Blind Mag from Repo! The Genetic Opera, Yoko from Gurren Lagann, Ranka from Macross Frontier, Wayward Victorian Girl

Conventions attended:

ALA, Cherry Blossom Parade, Sac-Anime, Fanime, AX, Sacanime (summer).

Most Difficult:
Hikaru.  Fiberglassing was a LOT of work.  Plus other stupid things with this costume. Just ugh… I’m glad it’s done.

Easiest Costume:
Tie between Emerald and Hungary.  Thought thinkg Emerald wins because I wasn’t sick while I was trying to make it.

Most Hated:
Sophitia.  Dress is awful and makes me look awful in return.

Most Loved:
This is hard.  I made a few costumes I just love.  I think Eclair, Hikaru, Yoko and Victorian Girl are my favorites this year.

Most Worn:
Uh, Yoko, Eclair and Hikaru.

Most expensive:

Hikaru by leaps and bounds.

Cheapest:

Emerald. Super budget cosplay.

Best cosplay memory of the year:
Meeting Emilie Autumn in my costume and having her call me the “Queen of Hearts”. Meeting someone who is an inspiration for pretty much everything in your life and then complementing you is pretty fucking amazing.

There you have it.  Hopefully 2010 will bring some great things cosplay wise.  This year I want to make a solid effort to make costumes I have been wanting to do for YEARS.  This includes but is not limited to: Cammy, Morrigan, and Cassandra.  Expect these this year FOR SURE.

Big Distraction.

The computer and internet.

Is a big distraction that is.  It’s just so tempting to reach over and check Twitter feeds or Etsy.  Before you know it, it has you in it’s evil cyber clutches.  I should really think about hiding my computer from myself to get some work done!  LOL I kid.  I’m not that bad… or am?

That’s all besides the point.  Did everyone have a good Christmas?  Mine was rather low key, which was nice.  To be honest I’m glad that Christmas is said and done.  It’s a lot of work and money, and this year there wasn’t much magic to it.  Maybe because I’m getting older, I don’t know to be honest.  Of course I’m grateful to the things I got. God knows that I have been dieing to get Emilie Autumn’s Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls book and getting money to attain some much need clothes was very lovely indeed.

And oh god, the new Doctor Who episode! Did any of you see it???  I’m just… WOW.  Can’t wait until New Years.  My sweetie just got into Doctor Who and plans to do the Master at ALA while myself and my friend Ellome do Rose and the Doctor respectfully.  Should be fun.  Been meaning to do some DW cosplay for a while now.  :D

Speaking of ALA…
It’s too close!  I can start to feel the pressure of getting stuff completed.  At times though I think I work better when I have a deadline breathing down my neck.  Haven’t been taking photos of progress but I swear it’s there.  Here is what my list is starting to look like:

ALA 90% Accurate Cosplay List
Friday: Maka from Soul Eater
Saturday: Ranka from Macross F or Wayward Victorian Girl in the AM, Asmodeus of Lust from Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Sunday: Rose Tyler from Doctor Who

Aside from Maka, Asmodeus and Rose everything else is still subject to change.  We’ll see how I feel when I get to packing and if I can squeeze anything else in there last minute. :D

Back to work for me.  Feel free to
