Yaaaaay

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)

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

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 ^^
