What at first felt like a slow crawl changed in the blink of an eye, and Final Fantasy’s 2023 Fan Festival was upon us. I will be completely honest, if you’ve heard at least a little bit about how this con was a train wreck, my recap will echo those same sentiments. A small PSA that it might not be the most fun read.
Today I decided to dress up and try on a wig that I bought for Yamato Rinko from Ore Monogatarii!! — one of my absolute favorite shoujo series. I’ve been hesitant to do a makeup test with this wig because of how unnatural the fibers look in artificial/day light. Oh well! At least it photographs […]
My love and appreciation for My Hero Academia was almost instantaneous. I started with the anime, and 1 episode in I was already sobbing hard. And then with episode 2 I cried more. And episode 3 even more. Then I picked up the manga and caught up in… maybe a day or two. Still lots […]
This year I told myself I would be better at organizing my living and creative space (which happen to both be my bedroom). Something I really enjoy is home improvement (I’m one of those types that actually enjoy watching HGTV while waiting at the Verizon store) and lately downsizing the clutter I end up accumulating […]
I purchased my Saber cosplay awhile back from 1/3 Delusion, and I love it immensely. The level of detail and work put into the kimono and details were beyond my expectations. It is as close to the figure as I feel I’ll ever get. So today’s post was just a minor adjustment I made in something already exemplary.
After prepping and packing for the con, I met up with my friends for dinner at Pike Place Market! It was super windy, but the setting sun was gorgeous, so we walked around while waiting for our table. Seattle is filled with all sorts of quirky graffiti haha. Chan is always a safe dinner plan, […]
Some progress updates/fixes for my Rin cosplays!! Styled his wig a lot better — it’s less of a sweaty mop! hahaha. I really want to do Rin’s Kyoto Saga arc, so I bought his shirt and sweats today! I wonder if Rin is an Ad*das fan, because that’s where I got both of them haha. […]
It’s been awhile since Sakuracon, but I wanted to write up a masterpost of my Dorothy cosplay that I made while volunteering for ACParadise. The entire process was fairly straight foward, with new challenges in patterning out unique design elements and figuring out how to enable easy, comfortable wear for volunteering in. For starters, here’s […]
What a wonderful invention these are. I’ve been seeing wonder clips making its rounds amongst cosplay friends, so I decided to get a box for myself from Amazon to try out. Typically used for quilting, wonder clips are plastic mini-clips that are intended to keep your fabric in place without the use of pins. These […]
I’m SUPER excited to share my latest Big Kid purchase: my first serger!! I’ve been saving up for my first one for awhile now, and it came in the mail two months ago! I’ve been so thrilled to finally be able to work with knits, and especially having clean finishes for all of my costumes/garments! […]
