AE r0xx0red. I had tons of fun, and it was so worth the three hundred dollars it took to be there and up in Canada. There will be photos and con report and such this evening, as right now I need a shower, food, and a nap, as overnight flights suck like that.

However, before I go, I feel the need to share the project Brooke and I have been working on all summer, now that I can, and I'm self-centered and egotistical like that.





Look familiar ^_~? (For those of you that have already known about this, yes, there are hakama, but there were puddles of water everywhere and the hems dragged. I'll get more photos this week sometime)

AMAZING. Many compliments to you both for such a great job on that! *typing with one hand and can't type too much right now so...*

Thank you <3 There'll be better photos come this weekend, I hope, which will probably be pimped everywhere because I'm in love with the costume and it's kind of my crowning Seishirou achievement ^^ I think Brooke did most of the actual pretty-making - she did the painting on the top two layers, I did all the sewing and the painting on the bottom layer, which you can't see in that photo. Without her, I'd really just look liked a fucked up Nagare cosplayer or something - their outfits are nearly the same, only Seishirou's is so much more gay. Men's haori aren't supposed to be patterned, much less with flowers ^^

Hooray! *loves photos* I'll be looking forward to them n_n Especially since from that one photo it look fabulous.

Again, you both just rock <3

Yeah, and that's actually a pretty half-assed photo, taken at 10:30 at night, with wrinkly kimono and a ghetto obi (Although, mind you, nobody could tell that bit as the haori covers it) ^^ We actually largely did it because it was all foggy and misty and cool-looking out over the campus, but my flash ate the fog or something. I may have to encourage Subaru cosplayer deathmatches by bringing the white shikifuku with me and then letting Mara and Claudia fight it out over who gets to be Subaru in the photos ^^;

But thanks, and I will pass on the love to Brooke, as she has no internet ^^ She seriously is my new god for doing this project with me ^^

*giggles* And that would not require a camera but a video camera XDXD

She deserves it n.n

Well, my camera does do video clips, but the quality sucks. Still, yes, a Subaru fight would be funny. I could actually see one happening between Clare and Suiel at Yaoicon >.> 'I'm the best Subaru cosplayer ever!' 'No, I am!' 'NOOO! RAR! *attacks*' *insert random fight noises here* ^^

And she so does. I made her a Yuuto coat in exchange for this originally, but after seeing how much work she did and how nice it looks (She put about 70 hours of painting in - I probably put nearly the same in on everything else), I told her I owe her another costume ^^

*laughs* You just might. Ahhh, Yuuto, though <3 Love to see more cosplayers of him XD

Date: 2004-08-24 03:15 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org
Considering her Yuuto coat only took me three days to make? I definately do. She'll make a cute Yuuto, even if working on that costume made _me_ want to cosplay him ^^

*flops over DEAD of awe*
oh. my. GOD. You guys are too amazing for words. The wedding kimono!!!!!!!
*worships like crazy* Coherant commentary is not a possibility. ^__^ I'm officially your slave now. <3 Tell Brooke I'm her slave too. XD

Date: 2004-08-24 01:27 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org
Thanks, and I'll pass that along to Brooke too ^^

It looks like that turned out really well.

Date: 2004-08-24 01:23 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org
It did, I'm so in love with it ^^

Date: 2004-08-24 10:36 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ext_25515 (from dreamwidth.org)
Wow. It's gorgeous. I wish I could sew XD;; Are you planning on making Subaru's kimono as well? ^.^

Date: 2004-08-24 01:24 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org
No, I don't really have a Subaru cosplayer and Brooke would kill me. This project ate many, many hours of both our lives ^^ But thank you ^^

Date: 2004-08-24 02:03 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ext_25515 (from dreamwidth.org)
It was worth it, I think. It's beautiful *.*

Date: 2004-08-24 03:16 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org
Again, thanks ^^ There'll probably be more photos of it up sometime next week, as this is the only one I have, and I'm totally in love with this costume. They'll probably be pimped everywhere, as if C can get away with it for _every_ Yuuzai update, I can with my one outfit ^^

Date: 2004-08-25 12:53 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ext_25515 (from dreamwidth.org)
Sure you can! I never saw you pimping anything anywhere while the pimping of Yuuzai became rather annoying. Anyway! I'm waiting for photos. Ahh, the pretty.... *-*

Date: 2004-08-25 02:41 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org
I tend to just share my photos on LJ and MSN with friends and the like, mostly because being _that_ self-centered does tend to not make you any friends - I usually just roll my eyes at the many Yuuzai pimpings _everywhere_ after a certain point and shrug ^^ Their site, even if I run it.

And there will be photos! Because I'm going to whine and be self-centered about it because that costume is my new love ^^

Date: 2004-08-26 02:38 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ext_25515 (from dreamwidth.org)
That's true! And Hell, it is my new love as well XD I have a certain weak spot for Seishirou and kimono XD Though that man does look good in everything XD So I'm waiting for those photos very impatiently :P

Date: 2004-08-26 01:42 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ext_24800 (from dreamwidth.org)
DAMN. Can I be you when I gr... wait, that won't work. Hm. I must ponder this.

Sheesh, now *I* wanna be Gorgeous Kimono!Subaru, and I'd be terrible at it. Not to mention that Ojou-chan would murder me. DagNAB you, girl. However, it's beautiful, and compliments to both you and Brooke. How'd you deal with all the painting? Did you use fabric paints? What kind of brushes? (I may need to do something like on my ABoston costume, though obviously not to that extent.)

Date: 2004-08-26 04:20 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org
I'm not sure what kind of paints Brooke used on the middle layer - the bottom and the haori were done with DecoSoft fabric paints, I think was the brand name. Bought them at Micheal's for $1.50 a bottle or so. I used a larger one of the the slightly fancier craft brushes for the stenciling, and then a tiny one for touch-ups, Brooke used a small-ish one like mine to do basically all her painting with, I believe. Hope that helped ^^ And thanks!

Date: 2004-09-15 02:51 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ext_4806 (from dreamwidth.org)
Yes. It is sooo beautiful! I love the detailing you obviously took with the...everything. I love handpainted fabric. *big shiny eyes*



Oh, and yes Isa I would kill you. I am not being______ all by myself in that big ass______. *hiss* *hug*
