Greetings fellow Deviants!

It has been a rather slow year for me and cosplaying. Due to a new job, lack of finances, and an upcoming wedding for one of my sisters, the only convention I was able to attend this year was JAFAX. I still took a lot of pictures, and will hopefully post them soon. 
I have also realized that I failed to post my pictures from Otakon 2012, which, in addition to being the biggest convention I've attended, truly made me realize how much I love cosplaying and how much better I can become as one. I truly hope that one day I can go back to Otakon. The pictures from this experience shall also be posted as soon as possible.
Now on to the true reason for this journal entry. If you follow my page, you may know that my only cosplay so far is that of Hitomi from the Dead or Alive video game series. While I shall continue to cosplay this character, I have decided it is time to move on and try something new. From my list of future cosplays, I have selected Lucy Heartfilia from the anime Fairy Tail as my next project. I also have a mini project in mind for a part of Youmacon of next year, a joint cosplay with my sister and her future husband. Money and time permitting, we intend to dress as characters from the online web-comic Scandinavia and the World. Some of my less complicated hopeful future cosplays may also be worked on, but the two mentioned are going to be my main focus for the immediate future.

Any and all encouragements, comments, witty remarks, etc., etc., are greatly appreciated. I'm so grateful to those of you that watch my page and like my photos. Every little bit helps :)

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

JAFAX 2012

1 min read
Hello all!

JAFAX 2012 marks the 3rd time I've been to JAFAX, and I had an amazing time. I had lots of people recognize me/want a picture, I participated in a fashion show, and made a bunch of new friends. I have photos to upload and will get them put up here as soon as possible. This time around, I took photos of everything I liked instead of just what I knew. All in all, it was a very satisfying weekend, in spite of the shin splints from all the walking :p

Now I have a little more than a month to prepare for Otakon. I'd better get on that.

Thanks for taking the time to read this :)

Hello all!

I am pleased to report that my plans for Otakon 2012 are under way. I have pre-registered, and reserved a hotel room. All that remains is to book plane flights and sort out my cosplays. For Otakon, I will be bringing my Hitomi outfit(I'm thinking about re-vamping it a little, but we'll see), and putting together a Resident Evil doctor cosplay. It's nice to have a relative who can loan me a lab coat :)

Thank you all for taking the time to read this, or not. I can't wait for July!

Edit: May 21 2012

Plane flight booked! Now I just need to figure out if I should rent a car or depend on public transportation. Any suggestions?

Edit: July 20 2012
One week to go! I have my clip-in bangs, and hopefully my blue contacts will arrive before I have to leave. I am soooo nervous and hoping everything works out as it should.

Youmacon Photos

1 min read
Wow. I finally put up my Youmacon photos. I can't believe how many people have already favorited, commented, and added them to various things. It's rather...flattering really. I'm definitely going to take more photos of things at Otakon when I go. I tried to keep my Youmacon ones to things I knew, but I think I'll skip that and just photograph everything I like. There are a lot of knowledgable people here who helped me out with things last night, I'm sure someone will set me up with answers :)

Otakon 2012, I can't wait!
