Okay so I know I haven't posted in a long time, and this post isn't actually going to be of an importance either but I want to show my progress on my costume.

So it's Queen Serenity (Mommy Moon) Its all completed except for the Prop. The wings are detachable.

Sorry for the low qualiy pictures, my Photoshop is being retarded so I have to use paint. :'(

So other than that, I have Ciel Phantomhive and Asuka Langley Sohryu's Plugsuit I'm working on.

The cons I'm going to this year are: Anime Boston, AnimeNext, Otakon, and Connecticon

I'll post more important life stuff at a later date. (Maybe...<.<) But don't worry I'm doing well. I'm just over worked these days and no money to show for it.

I'm undecided on alot of costumes this year but here are all the ones I want to do in the future. Some are definites and some are if I have time and money.

( 2009 Plans )

My familys getting a new house and we're moving in a few weeks, but the awesome thing about it is I get the whole finished basement as my sewing area. So Large fluffy dresses here I come. XD

I just got my new business cards in the mail today! >< Their so glossy and it has my cos.com and cosplaylab Username on the back. I only got 250 of them though just because I didn't want to buy too many, incase they came out crappy. I also got a window cling and customized pen with my business name and info on it too.

Again, soo excited. And for those who don't know I run a cosplay business Called BlackMoon. ^^

So I went on Cosplay.com and I found the thread for the Lolita Tea Party. And I remember Lo saying that she was in charge of it while we were at Arisia. I've been wanting to go fo rthe past 2 years. So anyway, obviously I figured I wanted to make a new lolita outfit for it, but I can't decide between 3 things:

I want to do a character from Paradise Kiss since I wanted to for a long time, I figured this would be a good excuse. ^^ My first choice is Yukari (the first picture), but I wasn't sure if it was lolita at all. The other 2 are Miwako outfits I thought were cute! ><

Please help me decide ^-^

I thought that maybe I'd be able to get alot done today after hanging out with Anthony but I was so wrong. I got home at 6pm and i wanted to sit and relax a little since i was tired and had to work all morning. I ended up falling asleep for about 2 hours! So already I'm 2 hours down, and on top of that my sister was watching "To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything!" and I just had to sit down and watch it. So I ended up starting to work at about 10:30pm, and I only hemmed the skirt and reinforced the sides of Maria's dress. That's it! I should've had the boot covers done at least tonight. Ugh.. this is so going to bite me in the ass.

And now I need to head to bed because I have to be to work for 9am. So I got nothing accomplished today. nothing. I'm so angry at myself. And on top of that I have to work everyday till boston, I don't know when I'm going to have time for this.

Sailor Star Fighter is finally finished and ready to go for Anime Boston. Now I only need to finish one other costume, style a wig, and fix up the zone trooper costume for anthony.

and also...



I lol'd at the villian the most. ^_^

For any of you that are going to Anime Boston:

I made a sailor moon gathering @ 2pm on Saturday, we'll be meeting in the general area outside of Au Bon Pain (It's easy to find) and we'll be moving to another location for the shoot.

Figured I'd let people know just incase they're interested in joining us.

I'll be Sailor Star Fighter, I also have Rachael as Taiki in the school uniform, and a Sailor Cosmos. There's otheres going to the con as well but haven't mentioned anything about showing up as of yet. I guess it'll be a surprise to who shows up.

Also there's a naruto and death note gathering at the same time and area, so I'd like to try and outdo them. There's going to be so many.

And if you decide to go, PLEASE DON'T BE LATE! we'd like to not lose anyone that wanted to be there. We'll wait a few minutes and then move to the next area.

KTHXBYE

I feel like I' getting nothing accomplished with my cosplays, even after working on them for hours on end. And Anime Boston is only 2 weeks away.

I finished Star Fighters top, my machine wouldn't take the ribbon well so i ended up hand stitching it in most places. Hopefully I can make the shorts tomorrow. I also got the tiara done, and the brooche casted so thats also a plus. The one thing I'm worried about is that I bought a seiya wig from a girl on cosplay.com that getting rid of hers and its still hasn't come in. She said she sent it out 2 mondays ago! I'm freaking out just a bit. but not too much since tiff said I could borrow hers for AB and she'll have Cassy bring it since she's unable to go.

And speaking of wigs. I also bought a wig from coswrox for a commission I was doing, and the order came in but that one wig was missing. I had all the others that was in my order. Trying to get ahold of anyone over there sucks. I don't really want to get into that, its a long story. Long story short, they recently got back to me and said that wig was out of stock till MAY! and wanted to know if I wanted a subsitute. So I told her which one and all she said was "I'll see what I can do." So now I have to wait and see if anythings going to come in. and the worst part is that that commission is due on the 23rd of this month. Ugh!

whatever, I'm going to sleep so I can work my lousy job

Katsucon is only a day away. ^^ EEEE I'm so excited! I have so many new costumes to dawn. Luckily I only have 2 things left to do costume wise:

Serge the inner seams of Sakura
Finish Rachaels Kikyo wig

Other than that, I have to clean out my car to pack me stuffs in it, and buy some snacky snacks for the trip. Luckily I packed all my bags and costumes 2 days ago. ^^

What sucks though is that I'm working tomorrow night, 6-10pm, so I'm going to get home late and I'll have to go right to bed to get up and out the door by 7am on thursday. Thats bad news only because I need to make sure I get everything done in the morning before I go to work. I'm not stressed now, but I bet I will be in the morning. >
