A Long Overdue Update

October4

Hello everyone! This con season was a blur, and though I loved it, I am excited to finally have some down time to do things like make this post! I’ve made several updates to the site, including adding costume profiles for six new costumes, adding new photos to some older costumes, and updating my upcoming convention and costumes. I’m also working on setting up a page where I can sell some of my older costumes because I’m running out of storage space for all of them. Keep an eye out for that if you have any interest!

Dragon*Con was Labor Day weekend and I wore four new costumes, and one rewear. You can check them out below, from left to right: Ygritte (Game of Thrones), Wasp (Marvel Comics), Cheryl (Archer), Cally (Battlestar Galactica), and Josie (Josie and the Pussycats)

          

     

Dragon*Con is always such an amazing event, and this year was no exception. Highlights include witnessing a beautiful wedding while at the massive Marvel shoot put on by the Superhero Costuming Forum and getting to meet Jamie Bamber and Michael Trucco from Battlestar Gallactica (while in my Battlestar costume)! I also loved getting to wear my Ygritte costume to the big Game of Thrones gathering and hanging out with all the Jon Snows. I surprised quite a few of my friends with my choice of Archer costumes, but the fans of the series made walking around half naked so worth it! Being reunited with my Pussycats proved to be just as popular as last year and just as fun. Overall it was a great time and I met so many wonderful people and got to spend some quality time with the people I love.


There was no time to rest after Dragon*Con though because AWA was less than a month later and I had to get right back to sewing to have two new costumes ready. I made a dream costume of mine, Odessa from Suikoden, and a new shiny, pink IdolM@ster costume for a Pink Diamond Luxury group with some fabulous ladies! I also rewore my Sayaka costume, this time with a full cast of girls.

          

This was my ten year anniversary of going to AWA, and though both the con and myself have changed a lot over the years, it still holds a special place in my heart. This was definitely a more laid back convention spent chilling with friends, which is partly why I don’t have too many pictures to share. Still, I wouldn’t have changed a thing! Saturday morning I picked up some friends and went on an excursion to Sublime Doughnuts. I never thought I was much of a doughnut person, but this place changed my mind with their unique and delicious creations. Check them out if you’re ever in the area! As is my tradition, I watched the costume contest Saturday night which never fails to showcase some amazing costumes from very talented people. AWA has one of the best contests around!

Now the cons have passed and my next adventure isn’t until February when I try out Katsucon for the first time. I have a lot to look forward to next year and a lot of fond memories to hold on to from the past conventions. Please check back as I will be updating photos as they come in, and as always, thanks so much for reading and for following my work!

Summer Update

July2

I recently uploaded three new costumes to my website! Please check out the links below to see what I’ve been up to the past few months. I also wore Lethe from Fire Emblem for the first time at Seishuncon, but I don’t have any pictures yet. Please check back for those!

          

Speaking of Seishuncon, I was offered the opportunity to be one of the judges in their costume contest. I loved getting to talk to all the costumers who entered and seeing their dedication to the characters they love. It really reminded me why I continue to cosplay and I had a great time with my fellow judges. Thank you to the Seishuncon staff for the opportunity and thank you to all the contestants!

Moving forward, it officially looks like Dragon*Con is going to contain costumes from Game of Thrones, Battlestar Galactica, Avengers, Pussycats, and Archer. I have started the procress of finding and purchasing the materials for all of these costumes, but I definitely need to get started on my sewing soon.

Only a month after DragonCon I’ll need to have new costumes from IdolM@ster, Penguindrum, Zero no Tsukaima, and Suikoden ready for Anime Weekend Atlanta. Someone please wish me luck on getting all this done! Thank you!

2012 Cosplay

This is a list of my current cosplay goals for the upcoming year:

Maids and Holiday Plans

November27

Yesterday Samu-chan and I wore our K-On Maid outfits to Atlanta Anime Day. We had a great time taking goofy pictures and eating cake! I have to thank Envel Cosplay again for gifting me this costume! I have uploaded a lot of pictures from this shoot on my costume page.

Next weekend Momocon is hosting their annual Cosplayers on Ice. I had a great time last year and I’ll be there again in a revamped Christmas Juvia costume. I hope to see some of you there!

In other costume news, I am currently 98% done with Fionna from Adventure Time. I hope to get pictures of that costume soon! Meanwhile I’m making big plans for 2012 while slowly working on Jessica from Lunar bit by bit. I’ll update my upcoming costumes and conventions soon.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and happy holidays all around!
