Cosplay Progress ╮(─▽─)╭ + RANT

So I've been spending a lot of time procrastinating over cosplays that I've stared and NOT finished....right now I have 5 unfinished but started cosplays so I'm really trying to motivate myself to be better at it and take less time to make them but as most people should know cosplay is NOT easy!

This month there is an event and then there are 2 more next month meaning I would need to have at least 3 cosplays done ;___; ~I'm not sure what will happen but I know for sure that I will be going to ANIMEYHEM which in on 28th of September (that will be the big one for Katherine and I) 

Here are some progress pics

 5+ cosplays worth of material ;___; 

 High school of the Dead blouse wip...

 85% finished 

Lily Saber chest armour WIP (after 2 coats of spray paint gold/silver)

I also made a cosplay for begginers video! 

It's basically about planning a cosplay no matter how you are going to get it together.

OH OH OH while on the topic of cosplay a debate came up about cosplay vs porn...lol it sounds stupid but any otaku would know that Cosplay does not equal porn despite it having sexual elements but that is just the fact that characters can be very sexy and wear revealing outfits so if a cosplayer wants to cosplay as them they have to expose some skin...wearing something like a bikini for cosplay is considered too sexual (like porn) wft people wear bikinis and underwear in fashion magazines and on TV but no-ones screaming about that....Cosplay is just another expression of creation and displaying talents whether that's modelling, photography, sewing, makeup, prop making etc. Everyone and anyone can cosplay in my mind! So what if a pretty girl wants to dress up as a sexy anime character or anyone else for that matter! Cosplay isn't explicit and there are bounds to what cosplayers will wear depending on the clothing rules in a certain country (for example I live in the middle east wear at conventions showing too much skin ie wearing a bikini would be inappropriate so cosplayer either stay away from those cosplays or alter them to make them more appropriate.) Overall I'm a little disappointed in the international otaku community for they close minded-ness and disrespect to cosplayers as well as the general public for judging before understanding. No matter how simple or easy a cosplay is effort has gone into doing it so people should respect that and if they don't keep it to themselves rather than insulting someone to their face (it's fine to have an opinion on something/someone but keep it to yourself unless the person asks!) Okay I've said my piece ;___; wow that was a long rant *sigh*

 Here's one of the images that caused a lot of trouble (This cosplayer was banned I think) I feel that's unfair unless the convention organisers specified the dress code for that event and what cosplays were not appropriate! Plus everyone knows that almost all otakus are perverts...I'm a pervert too in my own way (of yaoi) but it's not really fair to just blame the cosplayer as well as the photographers....

Like I said ANYONE CAN COSPLAY ANY CHARACTER OR THING THEY WANT`!!! COSPLAY IS FOR FUN!

Everything happened so quickly so I didn't know what to do with myself! I was so happy and excited but tired and scared all at once! But It was a great experience and I loved every bit of it (except getting sick afterwards XD)

COMIC CON DUBAI 2012

Katherine and I are going to COMIC CON DUBAI!! Yay, this is going to be the first con I've been since leaving Australia! My plans are to enter the cosplay comp with my Taokaka cosplay and Katherine is going a Alois Trancy! We're entering as individuals!

Here's the website to check out the details!

MIDDLE EAST FILM AND COMIC CON!

I'm so excited and there are going to be some really amazing people there and I will definitely vlog and take pictures of the progress and then of the actual event!

I made this video to sum up my announcement on youtube. 

 full outfit...lol the wig looks so pink

without the wig!

I'm entering into the Manga fanrat contest and the Original character contest as well as the Cosplay competition!  

I did Rin Okumura from Ao No Exorcist and here's a preview of how it looks! I borrowed COPIC markers from Laila to do the details!

 Watercolour Base!

And I used this as my reference image

This cosplayer is so amazing <3

Also Katherine started a Anime/Manga/Cosplay blog ->Le Petit Otaku Girl- 24 hours of anime!

She will mostly write reviews and things related to being a otaku girl!!!

I drew this for her! <3 lol she's not as big a yaoi fan as me but she still reads  a lot of it!

BIG BANG is BACK - Blue ヽ(；▽；)ノ

Okay so most people who know me will know that I'm a huge fan of Big Bang! I'm 100%  a VIP and I've been waiting most of last year  and the beginning of this year for their comeback! 

So when I found out the release date for their new song Blue I had several fan-girl spasms. Mostly due to all the teasers they released!

I love ALL their new looks (though I wasn't quite sure about GD's hair but it's grown on me!)

I think it's a really sweet song and It's not my favourite of all their songs ever, but I have to say I listened to it all day when the music video was finally release! 

LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE

I really wish I could see them in their Alive Tour (;___;)!!! I must have this mini album 

VIP for life <3

Cosplay + DIY + Back to school ヽ(=^･ω･^=)丿

During the holidays I met up with Katherine again! We just cosplayed and watched anime! (lol no different from any other day lol) It was really nice and relaxing <3 We watched Highschool of the Dead which was really good (aside from all the boob and panty shots lmao because it is ecchi) We also watched some Higurashi and Oraboku, we tried to watch Ai no Kusabi 2012 remake (she hadn't seen it) but we couldn't find it! (;_ ;)

My cosplay- Random neko school girl lol

 Katherine was Misa (Death note minus the blonde hair!! XD)

ヾ(=ﾟ･ﾟ=)ﾉ ~(=^‥^)ノ ~(=^‥^)/

my dirty pink converse (×_×;）

(((*°▽°*)八(*°▽°*)))♪

We're gonna go shopping for wigs sooooon! We're both looking for blonde wigs! And we've already started planning our next group cosplay (Me as Villeta Nu and Katherine as CC from Code Geass)

Next day I did some more Taokaka stuffff

Her zipper!!! (I need to sand it down and paint!)

And I also made her mask but I still need to paint it too! 

I'm making progress...very slowly └（★ｏ★）┐

I finished reading Zero at the Bone on my phone and it was soooo good! It was a little boring at times but the relationship between the characters were so realistic and pure that I really enjoyed it! now I have to find another Yaoi book to read...

I also got a new hair styler but its kinda hard to use...I think I might just buy a hair iron even though they're bad for your hair (I already have so many split ends)

I also made some hair ties because I wanted to do more with my hair!

I did the pink ones inspired by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

BTW I LOVE HER NEW SONG TSUKEMA TSUKERU <3 lol it's more addictive than PonPonPon...I love Kyary too much...my background on my phone is even of her...

 anyway here are my new bows 

Everyone thought they look really creepy but cute (>_<)

annnd it's back to school (only 8 weeks left! then my exams (=_=)')))

argh back to waking up at 5:30 in the morning...

I wish I could loli-fy the uniform but it's pretty much impossible...

anyway that's all for now
