misato
Below you’ll find my blog posts about my two Misato (Neon Genesis Evangelion) costumes - I usually give completely separate costumes separate tags, but in this case, both versions are here - the costume I made in 2002 for Animazement, and the costume I made in 2019 for Anime Blues Con.

this house has people in it
Welcome to Groundhogs Day where it’s Monday in 2020 again and nothing has changed. I actually do have quite a bit of content to share today though. Let’s start with random stuff from the past week. First up, we got our ruggable! I really love it! It’s going in our bedroom at the foot of our bed, and this week…

ayyy yo
Sorry for no post last week. I really didn’t have anything to post so I decided to wait. Aaaand… as of today I still don’t have much of anything to post. I’ve spent the last 10 DAYS taking photos but have nothing to show for it. (Yet) I did not expect my little dragoncon weekend project to take 10 days.…

walking the children in nature
what a week! I am a permanently exhausted pigeon. Since I last left off, Scott got in Tuesday! Chase took the rest of the week off so the two of them could go get in to trouble and just hang out. Meanwhile I still had to work and was up at 5:30 every morning so I could work extra to…

might as well be walking on the sun
We are now beginning WEEK FOUR of having no AC at work. UGH. They were here last week on wednesday working on it, had a crane lifting parts in place. And yet its still not working today, what is happening?! The biggest issue with it is I think this is the reason my face is broken out like a hormonal…

oh my
what a busy weekend. My whole body hurts and I don’t know why! So to back up. Didn’t get a whole lot of sewing stuff done last week, was still working on the house. But I did get my fabric for Hera on Monday…. Ummmm not an immediate love here. I set it out and decided to just think about…

Pink satin, Misato and Luna
I got my Misato pics uploaded! This is now officially the oldest costume we’ve shot on the white backdrop – beating out Lum by a couple of months. Like I said in the last post, I shot with my natural tone wig first. And then switched to the original purple wig. I decided to wear these black combat boots from…

when i posted some animazement pics
Welllllll thanks a lot you stupid page… as soon as I email hispeed it comes back up. Now I’m going to get one of those “It comes up for us,” emails. Bleh! I posted some pics I’ve found of ash and I at az in my livejournal, but here’s a few more I’ve found: Ling Xiaoyus: She-Ra Misato Cosp/ACP 1,…

Leaving for Animazement 2002
Yep, tomorrow at this time I’ll be at Animazement 😀 I know this should go in my cosplay journal, but OH WELL! Xiaoyu… I’m pretty satisfied with Xiaoyu. I’ll probably wear it most of the day friday, with Ash in her 1P Xiaoyu costume. Speaking of which, I painted the design on the back of Ash’s Xiaoyu costume, and I’m…

Misato and Xiaoyu updates
Ok, just a quick rundown here before I leave to go get ready for Star Wars… Got Misato’s shirt made. I had originally bought one, but it turned out it was going to be too long and too bulky (it was a sweaterish type thing). So I made one in like, five seconds. It actually turned out just as good…

Misato fabric
We went to Hancock’s. Got orange and black material for the extra things on Misato’s jacket. And some more lining for her jacket (we didn’t get enough first time). Ash’s Ritsuko wig came in the mail. I fixed up a bit. It’s the cheapest quality wig I’ve ever worked with. But it’s going to work perfectly, I think.

when i was 12
Yesterday Ash and her parents came over to hang out. Ash and I decided to go get mcdonald’s and rent a movie instead of going out to eat with the parents, so we did. We rented A.I. (ash’s choice), Rushmore (my choice) and SNK vs Capcom 2 (for kevin… and, well, yeah, me too). I had to pay a late…

Xiaoyu Almost finished
Finished Ling Xiaoyu yesterday!!!!!!! YAY! Well, ok, still have to make the ponytail holders, but that’ll take no time. Got Misato’s jacket just about made. We had the sleeves done and one attached… but I thought they were too fitted so we decided to remake them. I’ve spent the last twenty minutes ripping out the seam. I hate doing that.…

when we got mixed up with music fest
What… a long… weekend. Yesterday morning was actually kinda slow. We went and ate breakfast at this place in Millington, and all I had was toast, since the thought of any other breakfast food made me feel ill. Mom and I worked on my Misato jacket some … and then we went to the play. They did great. It was…

when i had con dreams
Last night I woke up at 4 AM. I don’t know why. I was kinda freaked out. I was sleeping in the living room, cause my cousin is over this week and he was in my room. So I got up and made my cousin switch places with me. It still took me an hour to fall asleep after that,…

Buying stuff
I got a bunch of stuff lately! Got a Misato necklace off ebay. It’ll look much better than if I try to make it. I love it already (there’s a pic in my livejournal of me wearing it w/my misato wig) Got a grey pleated skirt for Hermione. took a few pics today – they weren’t very good, I needed…

Dragoncon suggestions
There’s a good chance I’m going to DragonCon this year. It was sort of a sudden decision between Cath and I… she can’t go with us to either Animazement or Otakon, so I brought up dragoncon… it looks *really* cool, with a lot of really neat guests and events. I was thinking of costumes… right now I’m working on Xiaoyu…

Lulu, Misato, Rally and She-Ra updates
We cut the pattern for Lulu’s skirt today. As soon as my credit card payment clears, I’m going to buy the red material for Misato. Once that happens, I’ll be on the way with everything for Animazement except Xiaoyu. How about an update? Lulu – have grey fabric, have fur, various bits of jewelry, and a wig. Patterns for everything.…

Misato, Lulu updates
I said it on my livejournal the other day, but I got the faux fur coat to use for the top of Lulu. Along with fabric samples for Misato. I think I’ll use the fabric, but I’m going to look around and see if I can find something like it around here that’s a little cheaper first. Animazement hotel booked…

If you’re happy and you know it, do all three
So, happy year of the Horse, happy Mardi Gras, happy Lincoln’s birthday, and happy birthday to Catherine tomorrow, before I forget. She’s gonna be twenty, haha, she’s old now. I got my fabric samples for Misato (we’re gonna use it, it’s gonna be expensive tho… I may go look around this weekend and see if I can find something like…

Excitement… upcoming cons
Goooosh I can’t wait for Otakon! I’m looking forward to Animazement, too, of course, but Otakon…! My aunt, my grandparents, Kristie, Ash and me are all going, it’s almost like a family vacation except with anime and costumes!! ooo I’m so excited! I’ve decided to hold off on Misato until Animazement, because I think we’re only going to do MidSouthCon…
