Yes, it was great to finally cosplay Kaleido Star together! That was the best part of the con for me! ^_^ Thanks to your friend Judy for taking pics. I'll let you know when stillvisions posts his, too.

I saw you, but I wasn't able to catch up with you in time. D:

Darn. ;_; You should have yelled at me or something. I don't think I've actually seen you since AnimeNext last year.

Are you going to Cosplay Day at Kinokuniya on Sunday? I'm trying to make it.

I'm not sure if I'll still make it to the picnic for the Dances of Vice festival. So distracted by real life issues lately that I haven't thought much about it or made anything to wear for it. ^_^;; Plus, after heavy costumes at AnimeNext and Otakon, I'm not that excited about the thought of cosplaying outside for a few hours in August. x_x;

I'm so glad you had fun at the con. After all the trouble you went through you deserve it. ^^ The hail is weird, it's good your car wasn't damaged!

It is strange seeing other people in the same costumes sometimes. I've seen other people do the 19th C outfit in black and red like my version, but I think I'm still the only one who goes around with the cloak for Sofu. I honestly would have made it gold and white and a very pale blue/green if I were going to be young D.

My next con, it's the end of the month, I'll be too hot for a cloak so I may have to throw in the purple contact and be D again. I haven't worn that robe since Boston.

Do you think it's ok for D to wear such dark gothic colors? I personally don't like it when people cosplay D so gothic since in the art book he usually wears greens and whites and so many bright colors. But I feel I need more pictures of Sofus robe before I retire it. I just can't decide...

Yes, the hail was pretty weird. o_o; I'd never seen hail before but this must have gone on for 20-30 minutes and it was coming down so hard at points that my father was wondering if the windshield would crack

[novaraven]

Well it's just that I have so many D robes now, and if I want to make one or two more I have to put a few of my least favorite ones aside/away for good

Sounds like you had fun...except the sunburn and the hail! O_O The weather sounds like it was a mess.

^^ I love your 19th Century D outfit! And the fan is so pretty. :)

[ladyofthethread]

Thank you! ^_^

Yeah, the weather was pretty crazy during the drive home. The hail was coming down so hard at some points, my father was wondering if the windshield would crack. o_o;

The sunburn was a bit strange since I don't usually burn but it faded pretty quickly without any pain or peeling.
