This weekend, I attended my first Frankfurter Buchmesse!

On Friday afternoon, rmsmaelstrom and I picked up dixanadu_de_chi and drove to flokati-san's house, where we were staying for the weekend. We had a nice chilled out evening, ate yummy homemade onigiri, convinced rmsmaelstrom to cosplay Illumaniti Gackt with my Mana, and mostly spent our time squeeing over Pippi - the two week old kitten ( Read more... )

Finally, rmsmaelstrom and I managed to complete my Demon Ciel cosplay a week before debuting it at Frankfurter Buchmesse. Some of the outfit is from my own wardrobe, the accessories were bought and modified, and the bustle-train was made from scratch ( Read more... )

This weekend, chuchu-mana and yuki_magique came to stay with us! <3 After meeting at AnimagiC last month, and talking then about how either duo could make the 5 hour drive to visit one another, it happened sooner than we thought, as they were coming to Cologne for Gamescon!

Now I can reveal the second Moi-même-Moitié trio shoot with dixanadu_de_chi and flokati_sanFor this one, we came up with something a bit creative and fun! ^__^ We decided to portay not only the three different sides of Moitié clothing, but also the three different sides of Mana that go with it ( Read more... )

So, this has been a looooooong time coming, but rmsmaelstrom and I finally got to shooting a cosplay tribute photo of Mana!

The idea for this began back in the autumn of last year when I bought the lace design skirt. More things were slowly gathered (namely a suitable wig) and with the completion of my headdress last week, it was finally ready for shooting ^ ( Read more... )
