This is looong overdue. I promised that since you guys helped me win that DA contest, I would post tutorials. The one that got the most votes was bias tape. It makes edges look nice and clean. Link above.

Sorry this is so late. My computer has been acting up. Windows Movie Maker crashes pretty much every time I touch it. So it took forever to edit all the clips together.

I'm going to do another tutorial (based on whatever got the second most votes. Pleather I think?) . That's coming eventually, probably after NYAF.

I've had a real facebook account for quite a while, but I just made a cosplay/tusense one so that I can scope out local gatherings and such without my boss looking up my name and finding cosplay.

Anyway, anyone else have Facebook? I have no friends on my cosplay account yet T_T

I just finished Nabari no Ou and ugh fuck why? omg so fucking... like... no music... just blah and then T_T I can't even relate this coherently right now.

I was expecting slightly upscale and significantly shorter Naruto. I was not expecting gut wrenching, serious ass show. Damn it.

yoite
Someone cosplay Nabari with me T____T

Fancy gloves make everything fucking fancy.







Even being sick.

And I know who wooOOOoooon. (Pssst - Team USA placed!)

Coverage is up all over GEN. Team USA is so amazing. I love them to death and really hope they win tomorow. I will be staying up to all hours following the competition tonight and covering for GEN.

But as of now, I have the team profiles, day 1 press event, and day 2 cosplay parade up and posted with pictures and video. But I am WAY too lazy to repost that stuff here. So you have to follow the links if you wanna see the WCS pictures and videos so far! And come back tomorow to find out who wins (we have an awesome chance at it this year thanks to the amazing, wonderful Elizabeth and India from Team USA).

Gah! OK, back to work. Gotta earn those press passes I get for doing this otherwise uncompensated job!
 

GEN is covering the World Cosplay Summit this year! More articles coming tonight (as soon as I finish mine) and throughout the rest of the week.

And of course I'll be following the main event closely on Saturday and Sunday. I'm really excited because we have an amazingly talented team this year. I really can't wait to see what they do for the competition. I'm sure it'll blow my mind.

Please check out the articles if you're interested. Thanks!

This post is totally pointless except to say THE WINGS ARE FINALLY DONE! Three and a half days before I leave for Otakon, and the wings are FINALLY ready to go.

omg X_X



Now I just have to clean up all the glue and feathers and bating that is all over the place...

EDIT: I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS POLL UP UNTIL AFTER OTAKON. THAT MEANS YOU CAN VOTE UNTIL JULY 20.

It's not what it sounds like, I swear.

I ended up winning my little DA contest. I hit 400 page views today and it took about as many days to get there. Which is CRAZY!

But the poll about what I should give you guys as a thank you was a bit indecisive. 1 - 4 all got roughly the same amount of votes. Soooo...

I'm going to do all 4. To celebrate having 400! 4 for 4. Kinda. (I am so lame).

1 and 2 I can do in the next day or so, but you guys will have to wait a bit for 3 and 4. I can't do 4 until I go to Otakon (which is next week). And for 3, I need suggestions. So I'm doing another poll.

VOTE VOTE VOTE

Poll #1427080 Come Get Your Present
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 13

What should I do a cosplay tutorial on as a gift to you?

Link to my DA.

So I finally got a DA account. It's looong overdue. After like a week on there someone contacted me about a friendly contest. She is trying to get to 3,000 views and since I am new to the site, I am just trying to get to 400. But I need your heeeelp plox. If you click here it'll go to my DA page. I have pictures and progress on my wings and all kinds of stuff.

PLUUUUS: If I win, you will win. Kinda. I am so overwhelmed by the support I've already gotten (mostly from my lovely wonderful youtube subscribers). So I want to do something for you. If I win I will do one of the following:


Poll #1426091 What can I do for you?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 2

If I win the contest, which of the following can I give you?

Vote vote vote. But also, go to my DA page. Cuz I'm not doing these unless I win (because most are embarrassing).

For the Otakon preview, got to the youtube video here.

I'll be bringing Tieria, Grell, Chris, Myoubi, Yazoo and a super special awesome top secret cosplay that I can't tell you right now.
