Otakon is done. That fact feels so bittersweet.

Awww! I hope you find your OP group! I know you were really looking forward to that. *hugs*

MmmMmm... FSS ♥

[dear_mo]

I know, right?? So excited about this, but if it falls through then it falls through. :( T_T

Myees, FSS. Oh, if Mere drops out then it'll just be us Fatima. And....depending on how far we get with the suits when you come up...let's seriously discuss making looooooooong meccha kimono/robes... that would be so stunning. Especially if they were like Kimono.

Hmm, maybe you can come up one weekend and I come down another? OOH, and budget some monies for cheap fabric shopping!! I'll take you to Jomar!! In Philly! (The BIG one!)

I like the idea of long mecha robes but... I have cape hat. How is that gonna work? :<

YES PLZ. Miss Jomar SO MUCH. TT___TT Every place needs a cheap fabric warehouse. x___x

[dear_mo]

It'll be like Lady Gaga's bear robe! Head at the bottom!!

Yeah, but how am I going to wear it? Or is this totally separate from the fatima cosplay? *confused*

[dear_mo]

We can both find ways to 'fasten' them on top of our outfits. I imagine them to be really loose fitting; almost impractical. Kind of like the old royalty kimono, with all those layers that got bigger and longer. (But with only the biggest/longest layer on.) Did I make sense?

It might work for Megaera since her hat is mostly up, but because I want Ssizz's cape-hat (which reaches to the knees) to flare, I'm going to need to add some structure to it and the epaulettes reach near the elbows. I just can't visualize how to put a robe over all that... @__@ halp?

[dear_mo]

Hmm, I was thinking that the robe could actually drape around the arms instead of the shoulders. ^^

I think you're just gonna have to show me someday. @__@;;;
