On the plus side… I finished most of that silly Kimono last night.
On the down side… I broke my machine’s needle working on the matching obi tonight.
*sigh* I suppose it’s off to the store tomorrow to buy some needles now.
I am going to have to re-evaluate the necessity of boning in an obi band.
I have discovered that I have a great love for creating cosplay outfits.
For those of you who don’t know cosplay is short for ‘costume play’, and is done in a wide variety of ways and for many reasons (mostly just because it is fun though). I have partaken in the enjoyment of cosplaying several times now, but for the first time this July I will be entering a contest. Needless to say, I am a little nervous.
For now I will leave you with some pictures, because they’re worth a 1000 words, right?
This is the previously mentioned Kimono… I love the fabric that was chosen for this piece.
Playing with cosplay make up is 75% of the fun! An attempt at Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin.
The wonderful Nathan as Baldroy, the Chef firearms expert from Black Butler.
Nate as a genderbent Ryuko from Kill La Kill.
The lovely Michelle as Kuranoske the cross-dressing protagonist of Princess Jellyfish.
Me as a genderbent Lavi from D. Grayman.
Me as Grell, the fan-crazed Shinigami (Grim Reaper) from Black Butler.
So, that’s like 7000 words, right?
Good. That’s a good length post.
So, get out there… find something you want to do and do it!
Enjoy the heck out of life!
