イベントレポ: Manga Matsuri
Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I certainly had ;D
Spontaneous as I am (...) I decided to go to Manga Matsuri today (yesterday, actually...) and to sew a new costume.
The convention
Well, it's been the 3rd Manga Matsuri this year, each was held at a different location. And each pretty much sucked. But oh well, it's a local event, it's cheap and you can meet up with friends. Honestly, chatting with friends is pretty much the only thing you could do. Therefore I was really looking forward to today yesterday, because I knew some of my friends were comming, too. I should have asked when they wanted to show up before, because I had to leave early so I hardly met anyone >__<
On the contrary, I met/saw a lot of people/costumes I definitely didn't wan't to see. I was prepared to see crushed velvet and cheap satin all the way (and I did). I was also expecting to see a lot of "street style" cosplay (Why bothering cosplaying an existing character if you're not wearing his or her costumes anyway?). But the combination of the two was truly horrifying.
The costume
Sheryl Nome (Macross Frontier)
I've been thinking about cosplaying Sheryl for quite some time now. She's such a beautiful and strong woman and I love her different (stage) costumes.
This particular costume however is not one I had originally planned, but seeing I had only 48 hours I decided on one of Sheryl's private outfits. It was really quick to sew (although I'm afraid it's too rushed) and coloring the wig also turned out to be much more easy than I expected.
