Interesting isn't the way I'd describe this summer as. I've been mostly working and doing very little, slow construction of cosplay props and costumes ( Read more... )

Whoa what a beautiful Mytho wig! One of the best I've seen, really!

AND I love when people actually take the time to style a wig for L. Really great all around! <333

Thanks! I know, that wig worked so perfectly.... I just wonder why in the world it took 3 MONTHS to get here. I don't think they were sewing it all by hand. LOL

I styled my L one, but I had to style it every single time I wore it.... here's to hoping for not having to. >.<

Thanks for the compliments! I can't wait to post more progress shots of the finished wig now. LOL

Everyting looks great so far Ran! I like the new L wig and your Mytho wig is GREAT! I love it! You two are going to look so awesome in those costumes~ I know they're going to be a lot of work for you guys too, so it's going to be great~

Chele showed me all the stuff so far for the DN event. I'm super excited. I'm going to be packing up all the things I have for prizes soon and mailing it to you guys (the box is going to be HUGE), and then I'm going to start finishing up reaccessorizing Misa so she's all ready for the con. I have Lenalee about 60% done too <3 I'm excited, she's coming out pretty good for me doing it all on my own, haha.

I hope you can get some photos taken :( You've been busy with work and other things so I guess you can't be blamed but yeah. Let me know how that goes! I miss you Ran<3 Can't wait to see you again!

Just run by us what your looking at for Misa.... maybe some pictures of the shoes too; just so we can help. L's really going to be the same old. L, oh, L. XD

I love that wig. I'm not ever kidding you.

Don't worry I will. I need to go through my jewelry box at Grammy's and see if there is anything there that works. I might get on Skype later. I already told Michele I agreed with her idea about the fingernails, so that for sure will be done, and I was thinking of a bracelet and a belt to bring in the red. I was also going to get rid of either the striped stockings or the fishnet stockings to tone down the attention on the legs since the boots go so high. I showed Michele the shoes on me on Skype, but I'll try to get some pictures. I need to find some batteries for my camera first.

The other option had mentioned her white shirt with the small red tie, or another costume she wears in the series which is a black tank and a red skirt.

If you found a way to bling out L, Randi, I think... that would be crazy. :)

It's a great wig!

Thank you SO much!! Princess Tutu is my long-time favorite aside from Full Moon wo Sagashite. They both were watched long before anyone else knew anything about them.... and even now there is such a small fanbase.

I love putting detail work into my ballet-inspired costumes. Because it's such an art in and of itself. Cosplay is about bring the character to life, and that's what I like to work on doing. The crown looks much better with most of the finished details on it now.

Wow, those both look great! I can't beleive how nice and fluffy that Mytho wig is (and thank goodness for a wig that isn't a friggin' China Doll, like everyone else use). You guys are probably going to put me to shame. XD

Oh yeah thanks! I love the base and the additions I've done. ^_^ <3

Put you to shame? You are working on your's now? That'll be cool if we ever go to a convention with Tutu and Kraehe again you can be the Prince. LOL I know you said you wanted to make a Mytho costume at some point. When are you going to start working on it?

OH! WAIT!!! I KNOW! Are you making this costume for WCS? I remember Michele saying you and Rynn were dong WCS. So let me say CONGRATS to you two!!!! What costumes did you enter and when is it?

Maybe post some pictures of your progress too. I'd love to see. Princess Tutu is SO the best series ever.

Hahahah, yes, we're working on our right now, for WCS. Alas, we don't have the kind of time your girls do, since we have have to have these finished by the end of this month, but hopefully they'll still turn out nice.

We actually have an LJ community and have been posting our stuff up over there! wcs_usa10 -- our preliminary performance is also over there; we used our Fushigi Yuugi costumes (which, we'd made to enter WCS anyway, but then it was questionable about whether it would even happen this year)

We leave for Japan on July 25 -- we get to spend a day in Tokyo, before moving on to Nagoya. We're taking Miaka and Yui, Chihiro and Haku, and Rue and Mytho for performance. ^^

I could NEVER start on an elaborate costume with only a month before it's debut; especially if it was to be a dream costume of mine. Hope you guys can finish in time though. That's a shame really. Which costume is Rynn making with you? Princess Tutu? The skit would be SO cute I bet!!!!

I'll add you guys there! I'd like to keep up! Hope things will go well and most of all just have fun over there.

CHIHIRO AND HAKU!!! SO CUTE! I love those costumes of ours most.

I didn't know you liked Death Note that much Chris! WOW! We should totally nerd together about it. Maybe this called for bringing the event to the next SakuraCon. o.O

Glad you like my L wig. I've been looking for a while for a decent one\]=er4444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444hygt (that was my cat) for a while.
