    Anna Valerious

    dude… that chick from Van Helsing. I totally want to make her costume. The one she’s wearing on the wallpaper on the official site – the corset with the pants and sword. That’s freaking awesome. Wish I had room to make it this year. Maybe I can cancel Megara and make it for Halloween.

    AKon Panelist

    from mtac, from usagichan.com! hee I’m going to be on a cosplay panel at Akon… scary! :B Also maybe a wig care/styling panel (whoo!) Speaking of which, instead of studying for the two tests I have tomorrow or writing the 7 page essay that’s due on friday last night, I randomly got out that crimpy, wild wig I was going…

    My first photo at a convention

    So… my first convention. Animazement 2001. I get to the hotel, we get checked in, and I toss on my Selphie costume. I’m so excited I don’t bother with my hair, and (as usual in those early days) didn’t bother with makeup. I stepped out of the elevator, not knowing what to expect but excited beyond belief to be there.…

    Doppleganger

    Apparently I have an evil doppleganger. People are always saying to me, “I saw you at -con I didn’t go to-!” At MidSouthCon, 4 seperate people said they saw me there last year – I didn’t go last year! It’s kinda creepy. I just nod and smile when people say something like that. I really must have a doppleganger. Maybe…

    when ozma changed in every picture

    Mom pulled out an album of old pictures… man. I look SO much like my dad. If I had my scanner hooked up, I’d scan some of them. Alas, alas. Good news tho, I’m ‘inheriting’ my aunt’s printer. Which is a fine printer, it’s just not working very well right now. Between dad and myself I’m sure we can get…

    Ozma updates

    Random updates: I bought all my material for Ozma Monday. $95 worth, blegh ;;; Started fooling with my Phoenix wig. I hope to have them both done by Akon. I’d like to finish Ozma in the next week or two, before it gets too hot, and take it out to the Dixon for photos. anyway-

    Contacts

    I know I want to get contacts for my Phoenix costume. Thing is, I can’t decide which I want. The character generally has just white eyes, but I wanted something cooler, something related to fire. My price range is $250-$300. I’d like to get something I could use again, also (since I’m spending so much!) Look here Which one do…

    Upcoming Plans

    Is it wrong, oh so wrong, that I want to go as Marty McFly from Back to the Future? There are a couple of anime based costumes I want to do sometime next year. Belldandy’s battle outfit – possibly an alternate colour Princess Jupiter Paine (don’t know which Paine yet) Mikako (Paradise Kiss, Miwako’s older sister) I think there was…

    when mtac was over

    We are leaving Nashville! I hate to leave this broadband connection behind… Yesterday was fun! Kevin got to go onstage in his Link costume, he loved it. I got Best Master Craftsmenship….. which was kind of a given since I was the only Master entered in Craftsmenship, lol. But still! We walked over to the Parthenon and took pictures yesterday…

    MTAC 04 Pics!

    MTAC photos for today here. Warning: most of it is shots of my Chun-Li costume, Quistis costume or Integra costume. A few random con shots, other cosplayers, and me and Kevin being weird. I wore Tohru, ChunLi, Quistis, Integra and Sana today. I’m quite worn out! Tomorrow will be Asuka and the 2 Belldandys.

    when i was in a skit

    Deathcom Multimedia has the video from Katsucon 10 up. If you want to see me looking dorky, go download it. It’s around 50MB (and we were skit #21 – it’s seperated by skits, so I think we’re the 3rd video). It’s really nice quality, and I crack myself up in it. hehe (fyi, I was Urd in the AMG skit)

    OMG I had my Amidala Lake Gown on the floor, and Indy found it, started scratching around on it to lay on it! I was like “NOOOOO!” I know I shouldn’t leave it on the floor, but she’s never try to sleep on my clothes before, she always finds a blanket. Crazy dog! I have nothing done on my cousins’…

    when i went to midsouthcon with cat

    So anyway, onto more interesting things, I have been at MidSouthCon all day. It’s been fun! Padme has held up well. I’m at my aunt’s house now, waiting on Cath to catch up to me. She’s going to put on Leia, and I’m going to change into my first Padme (the rainbow lake one) and we’re going to head back.…
