California Day 1: Manhattan Beach Nights

Just got back from my week-long vacation in California visiting friends and attending ALA 2014! I’m beyond exhausted and aching from a lot of weird skin allergies that are still mysteriously reappearing every day, but I’m excited at the same time to update my blog with more recent content. 🙂 Let’s get started! After pulling […]

ALA Progress: Wang Yuanji from DW8

Progress for Yuanji has kicked into high gear — I just bought all my materials last night and have been sewing like crazy to finish by Sunday ahhhh!!! Here’re some shots I took of the wig! The base is actually a (fairly innacurate) wig for a Love Live! character, but the color and length just […]

Tonight my cousin, who was seven and not my cousin, told me how quiet my voice is most of the time. I told her I get that a lot. “From everyone?” “From everyone.” She looked up at the ceiling and kind of smiled funny before running back up the stairs to the living room. I […]

Happy Halloween from Kiki’s Delivery Service!

Just a quick post. This year I dressed up as Kiki from Studio Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service. 🙂 It’s one of my favorite Ghibli movies (which I guess isn’t saying much, because they’re all my favorite to some degree….) Sorry for the grainy photos, I didn’t have time to take them with my DSLR ahhh! […]

PAX Progress: Hope Estheim and Lightning Farron

We could only grab a one-day pass, but we’ve had FFXIII-2 planned for quite a while. Since we’re both full-time students in our junior year though, summer quarter […]

Lavender Hair!

Oops, back from midterms. Surprisingly…. I had almost none! They were replaced, instead, by two-three week long projects. Summer quarter is pretty weird, but I’m so thankful that it’s the least stressful… Last week I touched up my roots and dyed my hair lavender with Chong and Liz! We ended up having to bleach my […]

Con Report: Anime Expo 2013

After my business trip, my summer break (only 3 weeks!) was spent working on my costumes for AX. I bought Animal Crossing about half-way through, so it was probably the most relaxing break ever hahaha. There were a lot of hiccups with my taobao group order (it was delivered to me the day before I […]
