july is always the busiest month;;
HELLO WORLD, NOW I AM OLD.
And also, apparently, a hooker. 8Dbb
This month has already been somewhat ridiculously busy with two and a half birthday parties and a cosplay meet already.
The first birthday was the wonderful cosmic_kath and you are ALL jealous because we played pass the parcel and decorated cookies and LIFE WAS GRAND even though I was tightlaced so hard into my corset that my hips were bruised the next day :'D Sob. Wild west theme because Kath always throws the best partieeees.
COWBOYS. INDIANS NATIVE AMERICANS. AND A SALOON GIRL.
The week after that was MelCosPho7, one of the Melbourne Cosplay Photography meets that happen every couple of months. I was plaaaaaanning on doing Lamento but, no. My laziness and inability to make things meant being ghetto is much more appealing so I joined the Midnight Navy group after stealing Jo's Hetalia Japan jacket and modifying it crazy with safety pins.
... Do not ask why I already had thigh high white pleather boots in my wardrobe. /SOB. Also, that pose was hella uncomfortable jkjkajkwe.
Midnight Navy is a tiny tiny obscure series that has crazy rules for everything including a set disclaimer: Japanisches Kaiserreich Mitternacht Marine is a comic by Rokuzaki, and can be found here. If you do not know of the disclaimer, please read it here.
OUR GROUP OF THREE. Two American planes [reibird and animesque] and my poor submarine self.
Poor Linc was my prop. 8D
That line down my back? 8D Safety pins where the jacket has been taken in about 5cm, ahaha. ALSO, THOSE SHOES HURT SO MUCH.
I love this photo kjjakkjwe Also, that's actually normally how I wear my hair except not um... as a wig.
Amused forever, though I was kidnapped at some point by a mad photographer who dragged me underground and posed me until I cried.
While the lighting is lovely and golden and everyone looks really comfortable uh...
IT WAS ACTUALLY THE DEAD OF WINTER AND WHEN WE WERE NOT POSING, I HAD MY JACKET AND SCARF AND DIED A LITTLE. Photography tricks = A+.
The next day, while we were all recovering and tired and grumpy and DYING, we had twenty two people over to Jo's house for my birthday and kaorismash's SURPRISEEEEEEE PARTAY. In planning for over a month, we gathered money, intel, and shipped things from halfway around the world in order to pelt Kaori with a billion hibirds.
A BILLION HIBIRDS. We signed the eggs instead of a card >:D
Apparently, while I was herding people into the study to sign the eggs, Kaori was herding people into the ajoining living area to sign my things. There is no door between these two rooms. :'D JO FORMED A BLOCKADE OF LAUNDRY RACKS SO NEVER THE TWAIN SHOULD MEET meaning the real hero of the day would be Jo trying to organise everything, ahaha.
My stash included a PHOTO ALBUM THAT IS ENTIRELY FULL OF MY FACE, OMFG WHYYYY.
Also: hairy gay cowboy porn, dead frog magnets, playboy bunny stripper cuffs, a chalkboard pig, fluffy headphone ear muffs and a CAMERA SO I CAN STALK EVERYONE ELSE.
I began immediately :o
MY FAVOURITE PHOTO. surealistic_des molesting a reibird.
I love this camera SO MUCH. :'D It even does panorama!
Everything else will be up on fb except for this WONDERFUL PHOTO OF HOST CLUB lainex THAT EVERYONE MUST SEE.
♥ FOREVER.
Thank you again to everyone who came along and helped celebrate and enabled me to be such a creeper. >:D NO BIRTHDAY COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. ♥
