:'D Props are so much less rageful to make than anything else, but it was really uh... I couldn't find sandpaper to sand it down, and then bits broke so it was half hot glue and it's a good thing no one got a good photo of it. XD I did like the effect with the cage, though, and Jo did a marvellous job with the feathers!

SIN CAN BE A ONE WOMAN BRISBANE CREW! 8D I can start referring to you in plural!

The beastmaster dress was reaaaally easy. XD There's almost no detail on it, so it's just a 3/4 skirt with an attached top that didn't need any tailoring, because it opened at the front, and the mandarin collar is just a strip. The longest part was sewing it together and figuring out how to fold the lining in. Or possibly the belt, which had to be sewn like a pillow, turned inside-out and then sewn about 1mm from the edge in silver, which was painful. That's why Jo and I were both so late, given we got home about 10ish and both slept a good 5 hours. Ahaha, I'm glad it didn't look too rushed! (Jo did at least half of it. XD Possibly more, because she's the efficient one.)

EPIC EPIC FUN :'D You should come down more often! I didn't get to show you my favourite chocolate cafe, even though I showed the Perth crew - even better drinks than Lindt, though no chocolate icecream.

<3 props, you don't have to worry about them fitting or anything! (P-chan DID try to get a close-up of your arrow but lol, camera kept trying to focus on your chest instead. Perv camera.)

XD It sounds like you had everything you needed just lying around! Still really impressive. You make it sound simple but when it's all put together it doesn't look it! Belt especially. (Sewing it like a pillowcase, genius!)

;___; I want to come down more often, and always intend to, but it never seems to happen that way! :( I know, you guys should come up here to visit! :D? THAT SOUNDS AMAZING, I wanted to try the Lindt drinks too but pfft, will try this place instead next time! Should have stayed, my plane was so delayed. Regret!

:'D Y-yeaaah, Lain has that problem, too. And a few other photographers I've worked with. It's not just her perve camera, they're all made that way-!!

Ahaha, we'd been planning those costumes for quite some time, so I'd thought about how I wanted the pieces to fit together. XD It was just that the final making of came down to the wire, as usual. Jo made the hat entirely, which was what had me stumped!

:'D WE HAVE BETTER FOOD, COME TO USSS. You can ask Pchan about the belgian chocolate cafe- she got a liiiiiittle scary over her drink. XD Flights are so unreliable;;; You can just move here next time.
