My b-day report :D
So, I stayed up all night friday night to try and get my costume done. I honestly didn't start sewing the dress until friday evening even though I had the day off. I'm just stupid and like to procrastinate like that.
SO. Saturday morning around 10ish, I wake Jackie up and we figure out what time we're getting together to go. So I'm trying to finish the dress still, the back wasn't connected to the front and there was no zipper and the lining wasn't sewn on and XD There were no sleeves on the dress yet and the cape wasn't done XD So 12 comes around and she's still there so I had time.
To save you all a long story, the costume is DONE... kinda. The dress is sewn together and all the accessories are done and ready, they just need to be attached to the dress. The cape still needs it's little tabs sewn on but that's ok.
I didn't wear it to the con. BECAUSE, even though it was done, it was a rushed done and I didn't feel right like leaving the house looking like that. PLus, the sleeves are too wide at the top so the back kinda flops out and then the front drops XD SO it's done, just not completely fitted right XD I ran out of energy to fix the sleeves, so I'll do that later.
Now that it's all 'done', i'm going to go in and fix the little things that bug me about the dress. Like, line the sleeves since they look gross with hemmed edges. And fix the bottom because for some reason, one corner of the back doesn't line up with the rest of the dress O_o And then, I'll buy some more metal snaps so I can attached the gold pieces to the dress so they'll stay on more securely than with the cheap plastic ones i had laying around.
ANYWAY, TL;DR, I know, let's move on to the pics :D I took some pics of what Jackie and I wore to the con :D I didn't have the energy to finish sewing the dress, so i didn't have the energy to iron Ringo and wear her XD SO i just kinda threw an outfit together. It's very Nana inspired considering it's mainly made up of my Nana cosplay stuffs. Only difference is that I don't have a Nana wig. So I wore my Rei Ayanami wig :3
Here's Jackie as Dr. Girlfriend from The Venture Bros.
:D She had fun running around in that get-up :3
I tried to get a cool pic with the sun going down through the frosted glass but meh, didn't come out as good as I had hoped.
And here's me as my original character, Rei Ayanana. She's a punk rocker who lives in Tokyo III, she fights Angels by day and fronts a rock band by night.
...I'm totally joking about that.
My character's name is really Shana. She's Shin and Nana's love child :D
That was a joke too. XD
The dealer's room kinda blew but there was one girl selling screen printed shirts in the artist alley with catch phrases on them. There was one shirt I knew I had to buy for Elisa the moment I saw it.
I'm sure it's pretty self explanatory for all you Dr. Horrible fans.
And a shot of my some-what-done Nia costume :D
You can see the dress, the wig in a little baggy, and the choker/collar that I LOVE soooo much. LOVE IT. I really wish I could have finished the costume if only for that collar XD And the wig X3 and the PINKNESS of it all. ALso, I apologize if my bedspread blinded anyone ;D
OK :3
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE B-DAY GREETINGS!~~ ♥!
And yes, my birthday wish DID come true. OMGOMOGMOGMOGMOMGOMG SHITENHOUJI MYU CAST VIDEOS!!!
Is anyone else as retardedly excited about this as I am? I even looked up the price of flights to japan. You know, JUST IN CASE I COULD MAGICALLY AFFORD TO GO XD
