My Birthday is this weekend.  I’m not sure how I feel about this.  I’m starting to feel old! Maybe it’s because I’m surrounded by teens so much in this hobby and at my job.  I’m really not that old, but still feel old.  HOWEVER! This WHOLE WEEK there is free shipping in my store. Think of it as my birthday gift to you!  How awesome is that?? Also, Wednesday is looking like the day that there will be new products added to my Etsy so keep an eye out!  Lots of cool things coming up.  I’m excited. Are you excited?

Lastly, I got two new photos of my Sophitia Alexandra SCII costume.  :D  Thanks to David Yu for the photos.

I have actually been really busy making new products for Etsy.  I’ve started a new line of products reusing old comic books and magazines.  It’s a great way to recycle plus make something (I hope!) people will like and enjoy.  Keep checking back here or on my Etsy for new stuff every week.  I’ve started a Tumblr account to focus more on this aspect of my life.  I might mention cosplay info every now and then, but I really wanted to separate work from play.  I’ll be discussing new products, tutorials, videos, and some other things.

Cosplay Talk

Now to talk about what I would venture most of you are interested in reading about.  Next week some friends of mine are coming near my area and staying for the weekend.  We are calling it our “Snotoshoot”

weekend.  The idea was to have some fun doing cosplay shoots in the snow and just in general have some good times with each other.  For this I decided to make a new outfit with left over fabric: Eclair from Kiddy Grade.  I know I know, another Eclair?  What can I say I’m sap for Kiddy Grade.

I’ve also been trying to work on mock ups for Fanime costumes.  I can’t believe how close it is already!  So hopefully progress shots soon.

ALSO! I added two new tutorials! Vinyl Armor and Two-Tone wig.  I hope you all find them useful and helpful.  If you have any questions don’t be afraid to contact me.  I’ll try to answer them to the best of my ablities.

Thanks everyone for ready and have a great weekend/week!

I’m still in the works of making new products for not only the everyday person, but also for the cosplayer in mind. Keep an eye next week (OR SOONER!) for these new items.

Also new photos of Ranka Lee and Nia Teppelin have been posted form AOD.  Major thanks to Lionel, David Yu, and many other photographers that shot with me during the weekend.  I appreciate all the photos guys.  Big hugs and shout outs to everyone I saw there!  Thanks for attending and making AOD the biggest one yet.  Here’s hoping that next year is just as awesome.

I’ve added my new costume from this past weekend at AOD.  More photos to come along with Ranka Lee ones too.  Check back later this week!  For now click on the image to read/see the costume.

I’m coming down for AOD this weekend. I will be working during the con so I won’t have too much free time, but I will be walking around all weekend! So please do come and find me and say hi. So far as costumes I thought it be the perfect chance to finish up Nia and wear her. List time yes?

AOD 2010 Costume List
Saturday: Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier with some fellow LOVELY MacrossF people. D
Sunday: Time-Skip Nia Teppelin from Gurren Lagann

I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they were considering hitting up AOD, so now of course I’m curious as to who actually decided to go. *hint hint*
