Current Mood:  crazy
Oh man, I suck. I can't believe (okay, maybe I can) that I haven't posted here in well over a year... going on two! I suck, and I'm so, so, so sorry! I intend to change that very, very soon. First and foremost, I will change that, by letting you all know my super secret cosplay plan! Why is it super secret? Well, it isn't... and it may not even happen in all honesty, but we'll see.
A friend wanted to do a group for AWA of something not too terribly complicated that happened to have catgirls, as she wanted to be a catgirl. After much persuasion and convincing, we will be cosplaying from Mahou Nyan Nyan Taruto, aka Magical Meow Meow Taruto.
And now the groans are heard across my friends list. ::laughs::
Yes, it's an uber cute show, largely made for a younger audience, although still enjoyable to those of us who greatly enjoy ... that kind of anime. The sugary, sweet, insanely saccrine shoujo types.
I will be making all costumes, for myself, my friend, and her boyfriend (who's just BARELY dressing up). Fortunately, part of what helped me win them over was the fact that the costume for him is rather a closet cosplay with a few accents and maybe a wig.
Her costume should be relatively simple overall, as I watched and helped Kimberly make so many of them way back when. It's simple kimono, which I may just make as a yukata for simplicity, cost, and comfort's sake. I'll have to make it long enough to fold over, as kimono are meant to be made. I'll have to make an obi, and put together an obi tie, and all the other important pieces (some of which are visible) to make it all work out. And, of course, there will be the tail and ears and wig, which shoudn't be difficult at all.
And my costume will be the hardest. Since I wanted to be her anyway, and my friend wanted the group to have the main character since we don't have all three of the group, I'll be the main character. So, basically, I need a short wig with a braided extension, ears, tail, and a purple maid costume. Nothing too complex, but not exactly simple either.
This, of course, is only if my friend and her boyfriend can make it to AWA. Otherwise, I probably won't be making anything. I may scrape something together, though. I'm not sure.
Part of me says I want to make something for D*Con again, but we all know how crappy my mermaid costume came out last year, and I don't want a repeat of that. I want something that I'll feel comfortable with, and since it has become tradition for my coworkers to want to see what I'm wearing after work on Friday, it'd really be nice if it was something impressive, too.
And then, of course, I am going to basically be an unofficial bridesmaid for a friend's handfasting that happens to be scheduled right smack dab between D*Con and AWA... and I asked if I could make my dress, and design it myself. Good idea, self! Well, actually, it is, as I'd love to be able to design my dress for this, as it's really important to her, and so I want to look perfect... but wow, am I setting myself up for a lot of work in the next couple of months. ::flails::
I'm probably not doing nearly as much as most of the people who still have this journal friended, honestly, so I'm not crazy for wanting to crank all this out, am I? XD
Edit for PS: Anyone going to AWA that wants to be the blond if we end up doing this? XD
