OMG WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONLY 6 DAYS?!!! - AX final post of DOOOM!!! (roomies read!)
So, with a certain *cough* con *cough* less that a week away and my leaving for Seattle tomorrow to return Sunday afternoon, I thought it best I get this post out ahead of time. This will be my FINAL POST before Anime Expo. Roomies, if you don't want to see the rant.....skip to the bottom, all hotel information is there. Well shall I get started? All information that I have in my head towards the convention is posted right here...any questions or concerns please contact me on my cell 1(949)689-4203.
End thy Summer school now plz?!
My summer school for College writing 1 will end on Wednesday, day 0 of Anime expo. So far I have only my final paper to write and to just mentally prepare for the in class final. Luckily for me, the teacher moved the official final day to Wednesday so it works great for me because no I get out at the regular class time. AND I get Tuesday off to sew my arse off. Which I will be doing. I think it is a great end to a great semester, and personally I think I will have done great in the class. I worked hard and put my effort into it, so I sure hope so. Now when I get back from AX I'll have to pick up an unofficial transcript and drive it up to Fullerton so that they can place me off the English probation.

Cosplay Progress.
Beatrice- 75% done: STUPID SLEEVES! Finally figured them out. Combining a Victorian era technique with something Susan told me to do and it seems to work so I'll be working on that nest tuesday pretty much all day. I need to cut the gold and glue it on, then there is adding the bottom part of the sleeves and cuting out/ ironing/ and sewing on the white pleated part to it. Add the gold there and to one last piece of the skirt. Then I need to sew the white riffle trim on, make the hair bow and chest bow then attach their respective decorations and then I will be done. Shouldn't take me longer then Tuesday if I work diligently. Got the wig today!!!!!! OMG ....OMG.....OMG....0.0.......need to trim bangs but other than that...OMG!!!
Prussia- 60% done: just need to put together the peices of the jacket and sew on the trim, collar and cuffs as well as those stupid buttons. Need to sew trim onto hat and go buy and attack a rose. Also will have to add the pearls and make spats at the con once I get hold of Erica for a second. Need to sew her cravat as well. wig styling.
Austria- 95% done: Need to sew buttons onto his vest and sew various points on his jacket to make the lapels stay in place. Need to steam/ iron it. need to find glasses...speaking of which..ANYONE HAVE A PAIR OF GLASSES I COULD BORROW?!!
Alice- 95% done: need to sew on her side bow parts/ bring ribbon to con for corset lace up. Need to finish the necklace by adding blue ruffles and blue strands to collar line on shirt. Also need to add lace to sleeves and collar of shirt. Most of the necklace/ collar stuff has to bee done at the con unfortunately.
Miria- 98% done: Need to add black trim to bottom of sleeves and find black gloves. BLACK GLOVES?!! ANYONE HAVE A PAIR OF ELBOW LENGTH GLOVES I COULD BORROW?!
Gilbert- 95% done: Need to readjust chest button, sew neck tie together, and hem bottom again. Also need to cut sleeves open and add white frill part.
Most of this simple stuff that I can do at the con will be done within the hour before I wear it, most of the little stuff that i cant do at a con but can do at home in minutes will be done monday night. The hard stuff is all tuesday. I will probably pack late that night and call it quite at 11pm since I will have school the next day.
