@DireKitty & SuperBee: I had NO IDEA that there was such thing as a bead store!! O_O Oh my goodness. Thanks for sharing! Seeing what they all have on their site, that's really awesome for future stuff I wanna do. O_O;

[MDA]

I need that bead store...

[Liliana]

Okie dokie, it's that time for cosplay changes!! (changes always happen haha!) After a lot of thought, I will be debuting Emperor's Heaven form from Final Fantasy II instead of Edea, the cosplay that I actually been wanting to debut last Anime North and the Anime North before that. O_O; Even though I have already made Edea's dress, I'll save that for another con in the future. But Nefer and MDA already know that lol. I am SO MUCH more motivated for this con suddenly. O_O it will be exciting! (DISSIDIAA WINGSSS TRIOOO LOLOL)

Still being Esper Terra though!

[Nefer]

Heaven Emperorrrrr!!! I can't wait to see it in person *.* ...and yes....the evil winged trio...OH YEAH! We'll be the 'love triangle of dissidia' according to Bartz, fighting over Ultimecia... x'D (don't expect romantic pics from me Ulty, Sephiroth...doesn't care xD).

Ya so uh...like Liliana already started to explain, I'm also not making Adel for AN anymore either, will be for a later con (the wigs to make her would have cost me almost $120 O_O, I'm not ready for that yet sorry! ). Instead I'll be making....a character I told myself I'd never wear at a summer con again (epic FAIL here xD), aka Sephiroth...Dissidia version....DLC Dissidia version....Winged Ex-Mode version......yes the KH version, but the one in Dissidia 012 x'D.

And that's about it.......Still Edgar as well lol.

[Liliana]

@Nefer: HAHAHA! yes! please. x''D No love triangle lol. I was shocked to hear your wig alone would be over $120 O___O;;; that's the price of a full cosplay for most people!!

I am so excited for your Sephiroth cosplay though O.O;; I have never seen that done in person before! It's even rare on the web. I think it will be a lot of fun getting around with the wings on our backs, thank goodness Anime North is large and opened spaced!! XD Think we'll be able to get into Droo's booth??? O.o;; XD

[SuperBee]

Now that I am back from my vaca (and when I recover from jet lag) I will start Yuna (and the other cosplays with the exception of Hex... she's started already). I may need to buy more wire though.... I used a lot for another project....

[MDA]

@Lil & Nefer : Aren't yas glad that I'm flexible? XD We'll also all be silver-haired again. Except, I'm not Kuja this time. Though I'm still showing a LOT of skin... oh well. I'll feel over-exposed again xD At least its not Con-G that this is for @_@ We'd never fit!
We'll find a chance to be the sorceresses. One day... and it will give me an excuse to re-wear Ulty XD

@Nefer : Can I at least ask for a hug? XD OOC hug that is xD Because Ultimecia would never ask for a hug from anyone!!

Never mind fitting in DROO's booth, will we even get through the doors??? Though, I guess we have to since we have to leave our hotel rooms. Posable wings FTW!!! Gotta get the mesh for those... later. Kefka first >< And CoD, Rydia... GAH!!!! TOO MUCH TO DO!!!

But I can do it... still making Seifer for CosplayCanada though. Will get his measurements next weekend.

@SuperBee : I'm excited for your Yuna I can't wait to see how this turns out!

[kawaiilove]

I plan on making Rikku from FF X-2 for AN next year

[Nefer]

@Liliana: I think, if we're careful, we can manage it? Though it will be sideways pics when pics in group, I don't think we'll all fit next to each other facing him normally x'D

@SuperBee: Good luck with Yuna! Can't wait to see that tiara now O.o

@MDA: Uh...actually...it may be more in character for Ultimecia than for Sephiroth ^^; ...Sephiroth giving a hug...to the time witch...ya I can't see that happening without been OOC xD ...though I don't mind giving you one, but...it depends...if I can PHYSICALLY manage it with that gravity-defying coat, wig, wing and masamune in hand... x'D

@kawaiilove: Cute! I'll note you in the list then ^^

[MDA]

@Nefer : We could probably figure out poses for while outside - as a practice for Droo's booth? XD I'll be able to move more easily than you two, so I may be able to sort of... crouch? into a position, while still being modest, if that's possible in Ulty o-O

We'll have to see if we can actually hug each other xD Con-G was hard too for such things with all our massive shoulders XD

First silver haired villains with massive shoulders, now we're silver haired villains with wings. WTH?

@kawaiilove : :O you'd make a great Rikku! Which version will you do?

[Liliana]

@MDA: except that Emperor's hair isn't silver, it's purple. XO I'll be the odd one out this time lol.

...GAH!! I don't care what people say!! I see light purple color!! XDDDD (especially next to the previous silver haired Emperor I did, which is roughly the same color as Sephy's lol)

@kawaiilove: wow, you even look like Rikku. O.o Like MDA said, you doing a specific version of her? 8D

@Liliana and MDA : If you want a local bead store, there's a bunch downtown on Queen west between Spadina and Bathurst. For low prices on common bead products and costume jewelry supplies (wire, seed beads, decorative beads, non-silver findings, etc) - Arton's Beads is on Queen St just east of Augusta on the south side. They import tons of stuff from China. Next door to it is a second Arton's store with Swarovski crystals, japanese seed beads, stones, sterling silver, etc a little pricier. You walk in and it's like bead wonderland.

Also along the same strip is a bunch of other bead and jewelry stores open to the public. For non-bead jewelry supplies there's Transcontinental and Lacy's. Lacy's is on Queen and Yonge, upstairs above a drugstore, and Transcontinental is somewhere around Yonge-Dundas square

I plan to cosplay as Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII 2 complete with gunblade and shield I've already started but I want to make it my best cosplay yet!
I bought my wig already, and it's the perfect color! I just need to style it more and it'll be awesome
I also started my patterns for my armor because I plan to use wonderflex where I wouldn't want to order too little or too much. :P

I already pre-booked my hotel rooms at the Sheraton, and have been going for years to AN so count me in ^^ I also am there the entire weekend, so any time/location would be generally good.

[SuperBee]

Finished the tiara! It looks good, and I used less wire than I expected I would. Really pleased with it. The dress shouldn't be too hard I don't think. But I have other projects on the go that I need to finish first.

[Liliana]

@dizzymonochrome: Thanks for the info!!~ I assume that's all in Toronto area right? It's about an hour drive from where I live... but good to know.

@MeganKaro: NICE! I love Lightnings XIII-2 armor. I don't think I have seen anyone make it from wonderflex yet, that'll be nice!

@Superbee: Yay! I'm glad that worked out for you!! I think the only tricky part about the dress is the feathers I think lol. But you can do it!!~ I can't wait to see pics.
