Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off.
Hrm. So uh...is everyone still going to Sakura Gathering/Balboa Park this weekend? Or next? o.o
Random Tidbit:
Y'know that new Audi commercial where a bunch of kids get out of school only to find that all their parents' cars parked on the curb look the same? That was filmed at my high school. XD;
Stolen from avaricious~ ♥
Five Things about Cosplay:
1. Influence
I had never known about cosplay until I went to my first con, AX in 2003. Yes, I'm a late bloomer and I was never that teen who thought that every single thing from Japan was awesomesauce, but I had known about costuming however -- "Oh the people who dress up like Star Wars at sci-fi cons?" My sis and I thought it'd be fun to try and so we did the following year and well, that was when I sold my soul. I never intended for this to be such a...consuming hobby but hi, I'm still here and enjoying every bit of it.
2. Character Trend
Obscure or secondary characters from popular series, characters from obscure series...canon fodder. They all have one thing in common: they need more love. I'm ultimately attracted to those and I like not being the umpteenth person cosplaying a particular character. Though, I do have my share of those. As for character type...it varies but ranges between emo and angry to cute and bubbly and sometimes bratty. All cosplays seem to involve kickass girls and crossplays end up being uke. Bah. Then I have random ones I was somehow coerced into doing, lol. I also do try to pick characters I know I can decently pull off, which means I can never do sexy manly men. Booo.
3. Cosplay Handle
The way I came about Evanae has nothing to do with cosplay nor is it very interesting/cool/etc., lol. I had realized I didn't want to use artsigurl forever. It's also sooo dated (yet I kept it for when I moved from Yahoo! to Gmail XD). So anyway, I'm driving somewhere, thinking of nicknames and Evanescence came on the radio. Well, do the math: Evanescence - scence + a = Evanae. Tada~ Lol. And no, I'm not a fan of hers, I just stole half her name. 8D;
4. Most Resemblence
My face is just too round for most anime characters...Uhm, maybe Auel, Maka and Nanao? I don't think I'm too bad in Tetsu, Lunamaria and Soi Fong.
5. Favorite
At the moment, Maka, Auel and Tetsu. Lunamaria's always fun to wear. But they all have a place in my heart and closet or else I wouldn't have made them. :P
