Haruhi Suzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
So, I'm working hard at making some items to open my own clothing shop on etsy.com, as well as making my manga, Christmas presents, and my own cosplay and clothing. So much to do! And there's school, too! x.x
I finished my ANBU!Sasuke costume, but I haven't uploaded the pictures here, yet. Although my costume ended up being better made (except in the pants, and no offense, Elizabeth! I mean, I made your vest, I just failed... x.x), Elizabeth looked far better in her Naruto outfit because of her lovely wig and expert make-up.
I also finished my Maora costume (the grey uniform) and took pictures with my friend after our Haruhi photoshoot. She has some beautiful ones as Yuki, so I hope she uploads them soon! ^_^ I'm going to try to get better pictures of my Souffle (Peppita Rosetti) costume from Star Ocean, but I didn't have time during the Haruhi shoot. Kelsey (who was Yuki) had to go to work, so... x.x
I have NO pictures of my Pirate Queen Haruhi outfit, I'm pretty sure, but it was relatively simple.
Natalia and I are nearly done with the hakama for our samurai!Sora costume from Sukisho, and I haven't even started on my original design kimono for Sunao to match. Natalia wants to finish in time for Animazement, which shouldn't be a big problem, but the wig... I need to get that in time and be able to attach and detach the ponytail at will, I think. x.x
Plans:
Animazement: Aqua Pearl Voice (Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch), Karin Hanazono cafe uniform (Kamichama Karin), Haine Otomiya white uniform (The Gentlemen's Alliance), Sunao Fujimori original kimono? (Sukisho!), Team Magma member? (Pokemon)
Future: Komugi (Nurse Witch Komugi-chan), Mitsuki Kouyama various outfits (Full Moon wo Sagashite), Meroko Yui various outfits (Full Moon wo Sagashite), Utena Tenjo rose bride (Revolutionary Girl Utena), Sakura various outfits (Tsubasa & Cardcaptor Sakura), and more!

Karin Hanazono Kamichama Karin
My Karin and Hanon outfits are complete! I'll take photos with the Princess Hanon one later, but I'm hesitant to remove the wig from its wrapping... Maybe I'll just take photos in May... Sorry, but I don't want to mess up the wig before I debut as Aqua Pearl Voice at Animazement! x_x
I'm going to work on my ANBU mask tomorrow, so all I really need to do with that afterwards is get some medical tape and the gloves and shoes... I may just ask Alex for his shoe fabric, but I'm not looking forward to working on those...
Now that I've got my hair cut, I'm working on a quick Sakura costume from the artbook, which was inspired by the boy scouts' and girl guides' uniforms in Japan. I think I'll use gardening gloves and my dad's work boots for the pictures. Then, from there, I'm going to make a boyscout lolita outfit. XD My boyfriend is in boy scouts, so we'll see what his reaction will be ^o-
What's coming up next?
I definitely want to do a Maora cosplay from Shinshi Doumei Cross (The Gentlemen's Alliance), but I can't decide whether I should do her grey uniform or the white one! x.x For both her cosplay and my Sasuke one, I'll be practicing my seductive boy looks. It's tough for a person like me, though! And in front of the camera, I'll die laughing, like Rosabella did for her Princess Ashe picture!
For Halloween, I'll be making a simple Pirate-Queen Haruhi cosplay (an original design for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) as well as her winter/fall school uniform. Ideally, I'd want the pirate pants to be a dark brown, but my friend Katie pretty much gave me the pants she and I made together for her pirate costume from last Halloween which are slightly lighter... so I'll probably use those.
I will be starting up another slow-moving cosplay: Sunao Fujimori from Sukisho! wearing an original design kimono. Natalia has agreed to play Sora, since she has the perfect hair for him (if she temporarily dyes it blue), and we're going to be working together on Sora's samurai outfit from episode 2 of the anime. The hakama will be the toughest part.
Super Future!
Nurse Witch Komugi-chan (using the same wig for my Sunao outfit once I get it, which might be around late October at the best. And that's at BEST. I mean, I really won't be surprised if it doesn't get ordered until April, and I would expect it later if my friend wasn't going to borrow it for a Kokuri Angel Cupid Tamao outfit.)
Haine (I may have to wait until I get a wig or grow out my hair again for this one.)
Esther (It seems like I'm getting roped into a Trinity Blood cosplay for Animazement this coming year...)
Also, I'm making a Team Magma hoodie, but I don't consider that as one of my huge cosplay projects. And I plan to make many more Sakura outfits (from both CCS and Tsubasa). Someday... somehow.

So, my Kamichama Karin outfit is practically done. Today I got a good top I can use for it, and I'll make the hairband for it as soon as I get back from vacation in a week so that I can take my photos as soon as possible and move on to my ANBU!Sasuke costume with my friend, Elizabeth. As for my Hanon princess costume, it's pretty much done. All I need is to buy some blue ribbons, really. My Mizuiro Pearl Voice costume is always moving along slowly, but that's okay since it's almost done and I don't plan to wear it until Animazement anyways. All I really need for that is to finish the gloves and boots, and hotglue the stars onto hairclips.
What's coming up next?
Well, for Halloween, I'll be making a simple Pirate-Queen Haruhi cosplay (an original design for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) as well as her normal school uniform, and I will be starting up another slow-moving cosplay: Sunao Fujimori from Sukisho! wearing an original design kimono. I hope to get my friend Natalia to play Sora, since she has the perfect hair for him (if she temporarily dyes it blue). Maybe I can make her Sora's samurai costume from the show.
Sooo, I'm really finishing up with a lot of things at long last. I'll happily post them as soon as I put on the finishing touches and take some pictures with my friends. This leads me to my future plans, so I'll go ahead and tell you what I have in mind for the future:
Nurse Witch Komugi-chan (using the same wig for my Sunao outfit once I get it, which might be around late October at the best)
Maora (from Shinshi Doumei Cross. But there's something so sexy about Mao-chan being a [spoiler!] that I don't know if I can portray rather than squee over!)
Haine (I may have to wait until I get a wig or grow out my hair again for this one. I'm cutting my hair for my Sasuke cosplay)
Esther (It seems like I'm getting roped into a Trinity Blood cosplay for Animazement this coming year...)

So, I received my wig from Cos-Worx for my Hanon cosplay. It was darker than they led me to believe, and I wish I had bought a lighter colored one so that at least then I could just dye it a little darker, but no... x.x At least hopefully in the blazing summer sun, it will appear lighter than it actually is.
I started on my Kamichama Karin cafe uniform yesterday, as well as my Hanon princess outfit. I finished the skirt for my Kamichama Karin one, but I still need to buy the fabric for the blouse, since it was out when I went to the store last week. I finished the top for my Hanon princess outfit. Instead of just using a swim-suit top for that one, I'm making my own original top, and I'm happy with how aqua-y it looks. I started the skirt, but didn't finish. I love the way the fabric of the skirt looks so much like water! It's perfect for a mermaid outfit! I'm not making a tail, though. Too much trouble for something I can't use again, and too much money. I've already used ALL of my money I made at Animazement, mostly on fabric and the wig.
I'll post a tutorial on my Aqua Pearl Voice (Mizuiro Pearl Voice) on here, based off of the original manga costume. It's not too different from the anime one, but it has a few little details that I think make it look more elegant. I have to get started on my hairclips for my Hanon wig, now! And I have to finish her gloves and boots for Animazement next year. That's really all that I'm missing. ...Oh, and the necklace and microphone. x.x
So, to all those interested, keep a watch out for my Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch stuff!
