...for no apparent reason, being able to select from multiple costumes in the drop down list in my journal, gave me a little thrill.
I am a geek.
....
Nay, I am a costumer.
Anyways.
So. Since its been a long time since my last update:
1. At my work, because we order pet costumes for halloween, we the employees have the oppertunity to order stuff from Rubies costumes at warhouse cost. I partook. And the stuff came in today.
The box was almost as tall as I was. How happy was I? So I scored three pairs of wings, and a mask, the latter which I intend on using for Nefertina at CN. Getting it into the car/explain what the hell it was to my parents..... that was interesting. I think that was the most exasperated expression I have gotten for a while. I'm kind of bemused, in a rueful kind of way.
2. Winter! It's actually coming along okay. I have selected the fabrics for my skirts. A blue gradient tone, and a sheer organza with snowflakes. They are both hemmed, and I'm the process of adding a silver sequin trim to the organza to add sparkle.....and to cover up the hemming. Remind me to never work with that stuff again. I didn't know it was possible for fabric to reject being pinned so badly.
Anyway.
MMmmmm.... so I've bought accessories as well. Bits and pieces of jewlery, fuzzy leg warms, and such. Shoes, I changed, when decided that being in the costume all day, and at the Monsters Ball at night, will incure tired feet especially if in slippers with no foot support. So I ended up finding silver running shoes with white streaks. They look like 50s roller skates without the wheels, and more disco. I love it. XD
There's lots of stuff to still work on, a few things will only come when I can complete each stage. Waiting on the fur vest from my sister, to see if that works. Such a hodge podge this costume. I hope it works out.
3. Animenorth is no go for this coming year. My roomie is getting married. (Yay!) A little bit more important, n'est pas? My cosplay will be that of a wedding guest. ^_~ So, I'ved decided to go to that mini anime con in December, DTAC is it? Another excuse to cosplay. I'll reuse either winter or Pico depending on how I feel.
4. My string of cosplay ideas has extended once more, and again from Gaia's EIs. Not sure why, but I love the designs on those. Jinxi's Charm - the Shaman. I love it, and I think it would be an amazing outfit to dress. In theory, not hard to make.
In theory.
