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!

Cosplay Characters list (un-official) ψ(｀∇´)ψ

Hi everyone, I know I said I wouldn't update in a few months but I decided to take a break from studying and make a post about future cosplays that I want to do as well as some randoms which I may or may not ever do. My previous list has been scrapped! ( most of the characters are still on it though)

So far I've only done 1  real cosplay...My Taokaka from Blazblue ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡

ANYWAYYY ON TO THE FUTUREE COSPLAYYYYS....
Btw when I was looking at these characters I was really thinking about their character design and not much else, so some of them I don't actually know very well. Sometimes I chose them for different elements (personality or outfit), also I know some of them have lighter skin tone but that's not something that extremely important to me and I will still do my best to recreate the character!

In No Particular Order....

Gloomy bear aprron COMPLETE! dekimashita!

So I started this project a while back but I finally decided to finish it before school started so now it's done! I based it off the Baby the stars shine bright gloomy bear apron collab and I'm pretty sure it's out of stock now (the only way of getting it would be to get it second hand?) 

(ó㉨ò) <3

haha they don't really look the same but for some reason I like my version better...

(●￣(ｴ)￣●)

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
