This past weekend was Anime Weekend Atlanta’s 17th year and my 9th straight year in attendance. Thank you so much to Jason Merrill, the AWA staff (especially Megan in the cosplay gallery), and all my wonderful friends (new and old) who made it another fantastic year!

If you attended this year, you might have seen Kamikaze Kiss’s Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne costumes, including my Miyako, in the Cosplay Gallery. It was really an honor to have our costumes included in this gallery and I can’t thank the con enough for the opportunity! We didn’t enter the costume contest this year, but we’re excited to start planning something big for next year!

This year I debuted three new costumes: Fantasia Juvia from Fairy Tail, Horo from Spice and Wolf, and Yukata Felicia from X-Edge. Please click on the pictures below to read more about these costumes and to see pictures. I also rewore my school uniform Ritsu on Sunday for a fun K-On shoot with my Mio and Azusa.

          

Juvia’s Fantasia Gown has been a dream costume of mine for some time. I was so happy I was able to make it a reality for this convention! Lots of love to my wonderful cosplay partner, Samu-chan, who made and wore Erza’s Fantasia outfit with me, despite not being a Fairy Tail geek like myself…and to the other Fairy Tail fans at the convention who made me feel loved! I promise this won’t be the last Juvia costume I make!

Pictures are being updated as they come in, so please check back! See all you AWA people next year!
