Sometimes, you must suffer for your art! The amount of stupid costumes we've done where bending over is not possible, or stairs are an insurmountable hazard or the day after, bruises and welts and like, RIDICULOUS THINGS are sort of... ridiculous. XD But, it's always, always fun, ahaha.
OVER FIVE THOUSAND. 8D! but uh... not personally. XD the entire fundraiser in fed square raised $5k, which was pretty decent. :'D I think the cosplayers were mainly there so people would come up and ask what was going on, and we could funnel them towards where people were actually selling things. XD
THIS IS WHY I LOVE LJ. >:D EDITORIALISING.
Jo, uh... sports tape. XD A lot of sports tape. And about an hour of pain and crying.
Oh my god, that's amazingly wonderful! So how was it organised? Was it just a walk around, who organised it?! I've seen similar things going around and you know, was thinking it wouldn't be bad if Perth could get in on it too. I mean the media has sort of gotten over Japan but still. :/ Every bit counts right?
♥ YOU DO A GREAT JOB AT IT TOO. It always sounds so interesting, makes me miss you guys even more so with all the epic adventures every week or so!
OMG. *winces* That, that is sort of really amazing and ;; Oh Jo you crazy, crazy awesome girl.
They set up a proper thing at Fed Square! There were the cosplayers and then a lot of former JET people since the JET Alumni were organising it, and while we went around with buckets talking to people, there was a stand selling fanart sketches [requests available! Since, they just set up a whole heap of artists and they were sketching for two hours] and screened Summer Wars and even had a taiko drumming performance! We were collecting money on behalf of the Red Cross but perhaps if you get in contact with the JETAA Perth chapter, they could talk to the Melbourne people and organise something similar? :o
;; Ahaha, it's probably more exciting in text than while it was happening. All the crying and boring parts cut out.
:'D Apparently also took forever to come off jjkajkwe Suffering for her art, that one.
;A; TO BE FAIR, I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON. No talking to anyone that will take me seriously because jkjkajkkjwe CRY, REALITY. AND STALKING. SHOULD NOT COLLIDE. Every one is so much cooler as a hypothetical.
STALKERS UNITE. 8D I CAN SELL EXCLUSIVE BROMIDES FOR ONLY 500Y ♥
Cryyy, I was meant to have a wig ;A; I bought one and everything, then didn't have time to style, so. ;; Lucky my hair cut is uh... actually Oichi's jkjkawe.

ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU MUST EVENTUALLY SIT DOWN. "Cosplay is pain" is not actually a good mantra to live by.
EPIC CROSSPLAY IS EPIC. So manly; no wonder she acquired fangirls.
