Updates -


- YAY! I'm doing a COSPLAY PANEL AT SMASH!!!! :iconsmashcon:

Please come so I'm not in there on my own, talking to myself. LOL

The main focus this time is COSPLAY ON ANY BUDGET - 'Cosplay for Poor Students & Rich Fortunates'
I'm so happy they accepted my proposal. Hopefully I can keep it entertaining & educational. So this panel is going to be :icontsubaki-chan: & :iconamenokitarou: I've asked Will to join me to keep up a fun dynamic, hopefully we won't make too many disgusting jokes. xD
I've been working hard on the slideshow.


______


- I got into the Animania Cosplay Calendar!!! YAY!!! It's of course all thanks to :iconchristie-cosplay: for taking this photo:

Kadaj Cosplay by Tsubaki-chan

I also got my month preference for January! Unfortunately Kenny refused to put my birthday as an official date within the calendar... Damn!!! XDD

But Yay! I'm just generally happy to be in there, as I know so many amazing cosplayer put photos in this year.



- BABY CAGEY is nearly 4months old & he's soooooo fat!!! He's discovered his hands are tasty & that he can throw toys really far.
This time I have a photo with his mummy(my sister) in there. She loves him soooo much, he's a spoilt baby, she never lets him out of her sight.

______

I'm in the process of buying a house with my sister for her, myself & baby Cage to live in, as his dad has become a total jerk.
Hopefully we'll find a place soon, that isn't to expensive.


- Thinking about reopening my eBay store again soon, as people start preparing for x-mas buying. xD


- Would people be interesting in buying my old wigs from me, or newer wigs that I've never used??? Trying to scope interest to see if they're worth selling. Some are from Japan, Cyperous & Maple & of course I take great care of all my wigs. xD


- Wig commissions are currently closed due to my family situation. I'm hoping to reopen them, once I'm comfortable in the new house. I'm sorry for the inconveience.



- To my 50k kiriban :iconmarynated:
I'm really really REALLY sorry!!! but I won't have time to make Alucard anymore thanks to my family situation. If you would like I'd be happy to arrange something else with you, or do a photoshoot or something else silmpler for you. I'm really sorry for this. DX

Con Reports -

AVCON - A.k.a. Clampcon

I love :iconlittlestarfish: for organising this so much.
I didn't really enjoy the con itself as it was kind of boring, couldn't find my friends half the time, nearly got kicked out of the main event hall twice because of their lame organisation, wanted to strangle someone, Missed out on the after party which was the whole point in going, & don't really have any photos of my costume to show for the weekend.
HOWEVER, It was still worth the trip because:
-I got to see Star :iconlittlestarfish: whom I'm not going to see again for a very long time, since she's going to Japan to Study for the next year.
-I got to meet MILEY!!! :iconmileyx: She is the most awesome person I've ever met! I'm so happy I got to meet her.
______
I also loved meeting :iconramimentas: :iconlittlecrane: :iconanduril9226: :iconholybell07:

-I got to hang out in room 2 :iconemiko-sakura::iconchibifiedkitsunes::iconmileyx::iconamenokitarou::iconsweetskitty::iconlight-kitten:. I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH!!! you guys really made my con. I loved coming back from cosplaying, getting breadtop & migoreng & watching terrible ghost shows until we fell asleep.
- I loved giving my camera a good work out, taking so much KuroxFai PRONZ!!! I loved getting shots of everyone looking Clamp-sexiness!!! I just wish I had better gear to do you all proper justice.
- I'm glad I was there to help Giorgia & see her on stage, she looked so beautiful. Also glad I got to see all the adelaide madman round entries. It was really nice to watch them.
- I'm so happy I got to see so many of my friends who I rarely see :iconmrkittycosplay::iconcharmainemorganphoto::iconintricatia::iconmaybea::iconbreathless-ness::iconk-tetsu::iconclamwings::iconjkale::iconzimiel::iconyiji::iconcielroses::iconemiko-sakura::iconchibifiedkitsunes::iconmileyx::iconamenokitarou::iconsweetskitty::iconlight-kitten::iconhagis-girl-saya::iconandycamcosplay::iconshi-tenshi: :iconfloatyman::icontorment-lies-within:
______
- I'm so happy I got to watch the masterchef finals with :iconjkale::iconamenokitarou::iconmileyx: That is probably my favourite time during the whole trip, eating cut meat & delicious cheese whilst coupling Calum X Matthew FOREVER!!!!
I LOVE YOU J :iconjkale: & YOUR POWERS OF MALE COUPLING!!!!!
Here is some of the Epic Fanart Will :iconamenokitarou: drew during the ad breaks SO MUCH LOL!!!!
For any fans of masterchef, GIVE IN TO MATTHEW X CALLUM!!!! XDDDD

- KH Shoot has been postponed again, due to the freaking cold weather, as soon as it gets warmer we'll get organised LOL Sorry for the epic amounts of slow fail. xD

Updates -



- :iconwakaleo: & I somehow made it through the Sydney round of Madman Nationals & will be heading to Bris Finals in November. GAH!!!! Thanks to everyone who left goodluck messages before the event & congrats after the event. I really appreciate those who took the effort. ;____;''' I know I've been cosplaying for awhile, but a really like the occassional message from friends, it really keeps me going, in all my fail stressness.

More information about Madman Nationals below in Con Report




- I got my contacts sponsorship by coslenses
Their website is here: coslensescatalogue.blogspot.co…


They're soooo awesome!!!! They gave me 5 sets of free lenses accompanied with adourable contact lense cases, just to wear & advertise their product.
This makes me really happy as their lenses are actually really really good.

I'm trying to make as much use of them as I can over the next few months. I wore Their Black GEO MAGIC CIRCLE LENS/IMAGE LENS (CM-836) for Casca From Berserk!
Which were Perfect!
They really captured her look as I had trouble with Casca's eye colour, as it changes per reference. DX
But these were really comfortable & made my eyes look that little bit larger.

______
______
You unfortunately can't see very well here the full extent of what they do, but the fact that my eyes are black in this gives a good idea.

I'll get much better shots when we do photoshoot in the few weeks.


But really you should check out their website as all their lenses last a year & are really cheap. Hahah! I'm meant to be advertising these & all I want to do is buy more of their styles.
I know I'm a shameless advertiser, but I really like these. Especially the solids. 8D



- Calling any available photographers</i> Hey guys I'd really like to organise some cosplay photoshoots for my previous costumes over the next few weeks or so, is anyone interested or available???
Some of the costumes I need to shoot are:
* Casca - Berserk - with Group at Castle Wakaleo as Guts & AmenoKitarou as Griffith
* Lelouch/Zero - Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion R2
* Sakura (White Dragon Dress) - Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
* Kairi - Kingdom Hearts 2 - with Group at Beach InfiniteCosplay as Sora & blackraven162 as Riku

I'm open to suggestions for locations & I have a car if need be, but really I'd just like to know who's interested & when people are free if anyone. xD
If you charge, please tell me your rates & provide links to previous work.
I'm happy for other cosplayers to come along & take photos in exchange for photos in return. XD

Some conditions though:
- Don't post any photos of me without my approval beforehand.
- You must be reliable enough to get photos back to me in a reasonible time frame.
- Please provide your own gear. (I do have one camera, but it's not the best, but someone can use it if they're really eager)
- Must be able to get to locations either of the shoot or somewhere I can pick you up.


- Baby Cage is slowly growing, he now has discovered his feet & is learning to move each individual finger. He now smiles so much at me when he's been fed. I love my Nephew!!!!
I got to show him around briefly at Supanova to people backstage. He was sooo fussy, but I love him.

______
LOOK AT HIM KICK!!! DAWWWWW!!!!!


- I will be getting a house soon, just gotta find the right one. Hoping to try & stay near eastwood as my main preferrence, but we'll see how it goes.


- I got my photos of :iconbeethy: so expect some photospam! I'm so happy as it hopefully means I'll never have to wear Bulma again. LOL XDDD Thanks so much Beethy for getting back to me even with your family troubles, you rock dude!


- I'm currently sick after nova, which sucks, everything hurts & my throat/nose is killing me. DX I'm a bit worried as I'm meant to stay with my sister the rest of this week, so hopefully I'm not contagious & just exhausted from the weekend.

Feature -
OMG!!!! I SO FAIL when I realised I hadn't featured these two yet. These are definitely two of Australia's most amazing cosplayers out there. Their craftsmenship knows no equal & their tolerance for the amount of pain they put their own bodies through can not be measured.
This journals feature goes to: :icongowugo:
Also known as Team Australia 2010: :iconasham: & :iconlevel4chaos:

These guys are both so crazy awesome. I miss them soo bad when I don't see them. DX Both are the most manliest of men. REAL MEN!!! Ohohohohohoo!!! They're both the sweetest people I've ever met at the same time, they always compliment me even when I don't deserve it & keep me company at the most retarded hours of the morning, sending me awesome hilarious videos/pictures of themselves or others when I'm feeling down, or just simply to entertain me. I hope that I can do the same for you.

I love you guys sooo hardcore. I wish the most epic amount of luck at the World Cosplay Summit! I can't wait to see all of your amazing incredible costumes, you epic performance & I know you'll both come back with huge smiles on your faces.

So please check out these wonderful people & love them as much as I do.
You really must admire the amount of detail, time, effort & munnies that go into each & everyone of their costumes. O___O'''








If you'd like to get a feature as well, then just impress me ;)

Con Reports -

SUPANOVA!!!!

This years Sydnova was totally the best ever in YEARS!!!!
It was sooo huge, the layout was sooooo much better & the freaking cosplay stage was AWESOME.
This is the first year in ages where I really felt like spending money & actually did. I bought soo much stuff. Mainly presents for my parents & for LOL Griffith/Kairi :iconamenokitarou:. Of course got myself some sexy toys & AmenoKitarou bought me a Reimi figurine. GAH DUDE!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! XDD I also got a skirt from :iconcattypatra: & THE MOST EPIC OF COOKIES EVER FROM :iconmisazophia: Gah!!! I love you guys... GAHHH!!!! Thanks so much to Morgan (forgotten your account name DX) for feeding me fruit TWICE!!!! Thanks :iconstormwarden83: & :iconinfinitecosplay: for giving me coke. You guys are all so awesome!

Anyways Report time.
I APOLOGISE IF I LEAVE ANYONE OUT! I'M REALLY SORRY & I DIDN'T MEAN TO!


FRIDAY -

I was up all of thrusday night, had a nap before heading to :iconwakaleo:'s house in the morning. :iconamenokitarou: was already there & had already trashed the house, it was awesome. We went & got our tickets as well as last minute supplies before returning to the house to do some last minute work & heading to Supanova.
:iconstormwarden83: showed up at Wakaleo's house as well after landing from Bris to help us organise the group skit for Saturday.

Friday Preview night was rather lame, but I'm happy I went. Next year need to arrange with people for everyone to show up on time so we can actually hang out beforehand LOL
It was nice seeing the sweet people who were there already. It was really nice seeing you guys & desiring the touch of Jess. Ohhh Jess Please touch me more with your talented hands.
HAhah! I knew we were truely at a con when a horrible BO smell was wafting from random guys in the audience. It's always the hello & welcome to Supanova. DX
I wore my Kairi costumes, took no photos though. I was proud of myself avoiding one of my more creepier of stalkers. Ahahahaaa!!! So very proud of myself. We only hung out there for about an hour before leaving out of boredom & hunger. Whoo :devamenokiatrou: drove XDDD

Had one major freak out on the Friday though as the mainstage screen was only 30cm up from the stage, so that meant tomorrow our backdrop would block the video for our skit. DX which made me die majorly inside.
We asked Jacky if it could be moved up, but apparently the people who were qualified to move the screen had already left. DX GAHHH!!!!

So as soon as we got back to Wakaleo's we bought some quick dinner & went straight back to finishing our costumes. Main mission was redoing the entire background video. I had to resubtitle it & move all the subtitles to the top of the frame, so that hopefully they could still be read with the low screen. DX & resizing each frame to sit higher on the screen. GAH!!! Spent ages rendering that & finally extracting it, then realised it had to be AVI format. GAH!!!!! More freaking out. DX None of my programs work in avi format, thanks to Macs sucking. But thank god Wakaleo found one that finally worked after 3am. gahhh!!! wanted to kill it so bad. Thank you :devwakleo: & AmenoKitarou for keeping me sane in my sleep deprived state DX

Other things left to do were to finish attaching the final touches to the back drop, had to stick the LEDs in place for my anal fear of them falling out, & attach the last of the bones. Also tear up my shirt so I looked like want of those helpless chicks from a B/W movie. LOL All this whilst AmenoKitarou mixed his epic fake blood, making everything sticky. xDDDD

One of the awesome things to come out of the late night suffering was Will's idea for the group skit of manly menly ness. So we for the majority of the night sung the intro to 2 & 1/2 Men LOL AmenoKitarou being the girly voice of course LOL


Now it was nap time, think I got 2-3hrs sleep, but it was very distrubed as I was nervous.


SATURDAY -

We got up at about 6-6:30am & started the big adventure to get everyone ready, showered, get make-up on & get all our shit into the car. THAT'S RIGHT WE SHOWER BEFORE A CON!!! I had sooo much fun doing :iconwakaleo:'s Make-up, made him sooo manry & scarred LOL IT was lots of fun. I LOVE WATCHING :iconamenokitarou: DO HIS MAKE-UP, it's always sooo GAY & Pretty XDDD

:iconwakaleo: as Guts
:iconamenokitarou: as Griffith
:icontsubaki-chan: as Casca

BERSERKCON!!!!

Thanks so much to :iconaoyagi-seimei: :iconazn-ann: & :iconasham: for all the love & text support. You guys are awesome & are one of the few things that keep me going.

We had to take two cars to the event as we just had way tooooo much stuff LOL. GAH!!!! $40 for parking. DX that's like nearly the weekend ticket price. NExt year I'm getting dropped off.

When we arrived we weren't in full costume yet, so we could drop off backdrops first & rego. It was so surprising, even half in costume people still recognised Berserk. I'm surprised that people knew it in the first place. So many people recogniseed us throughout the day. XO

We went back to the car after rego to get dressed, which we though would take 15mins... IT TOOK AN HOUR!!!! DX During that time Wakaleo's Sword got run over by a leaving car. We were like HOLY SHIIIII!!!! But amazingly :devwakleo: had made it so well it's survived. It wasn't a light car either & it had 4-5 people in it O___O''' Go Kenny!!! xDDDD

______
Us at the door, captured by Icie :iconpireze: on our way in.

I started having a major freak out again, as my pants for Casca kept twisting & falling down, it was making me freak out majorly. They hadn' done it when I made them & I even test wore them for ages, so the fact that they were doing this on the day was sooo BAD!!! They even fell all the way down on my walk to back stage, but that was because I was holding all of Mine, Kenny's & Will's shit because I was the only one with enough mobility to carry the box, so they made me their bag bitch, DAMN MEN!!!! At least it was totally in character. I always end up being their bitch. Gawd Dammit!!!! DX
Thankfully I was able to fix my pants backstage, but meant I literally posed for no photos on the way in, which makes me a little, sad, but I don't care. xD
Back stage we finished putting the backdrops together & thought about practicing before comp, then realised we'd spent so long getting ready we literally had no time. xD

So then :iconslykura: :iconk-tetsu: :iconcielroses: :iconchristie-cosplay: were coming around for prejudging & asking us questions. LOL I never really feel serious when this happens, & I know I'm meant to be. xDDD
Gah, but after it's over my nerves go crazy just as the comp comes up.
I hadn't seen these guys at all for the first half of the day, then K & Aly showed up with SIERA!!!! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO BE IN SYDNEY!!!! XDDDDD

Met up with :iconstormwarden83: back stage who offered to help us out with getting stuff on stage, & who was also our Epic Pippin!!! YAY!!!

One of the most amazing things we saw when we got back stage was that Jacky had actually had the screen moved up in the morning, so our skit would not be ruined & you would be able to see the video as well as our backdrop. HURRAY!!!!

It was really nice, John the MC came & chatted to everyone backstage. I had no idea he was given a copy of all the folios & had even gone through them. Gawd he rocks sooo hardcore for that. EPIC RESPECT!!! I made sure to thank him after the event.

Thanks sooo much to :iconinfinitecosplay: :iconblackraven162: :iconcaimekaze: :iconelmo-wentz: Fo all the support & help back stage & before/after stage. You guys are a god send.

We were 4th to go up. YAY my lucky number. I think this is the first time I haven't gone first in a big comp, so it was slightly relieving. DX
Gah the other skits went sooo fast I was soooo freaked. DX
Even more freaking from looking at all the beautiful smex pile of entries surrounding me, my confindence was already non-existant, but gawd sooo much eye candy.

First up was ??? as Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist
Second up was ??? as Tidus from Final Fantasy 10
Third up was Haley as ??? Something CUTE xD
Fourth up was :iconwakaleo:Kenny & :icontsubaki-chan:I as Guts & Casca from Berserk
Fifth up was :iconmiyukiko:Miyu as Chizuru Yukimura from Hakuouki
Sixth up was :iconamenokitarou: as Griffith from Berserk
Seventh up was :iconqueencattabby:Anna as Kefka from Final Fantasy Dissidia
Eighth up was :iconstrawdoll:Straw & :iconsakanamochi:Su as Nana and Ren from Nana
Ninth up was :iconalita-b-angel:Alita as Unknown from Tekken 6

SO MUCH SEX!!!!!! Sydney totally had the most epic round, it was a crazy freak out. Everyone just looked sooo awesome & there were sooo many entries I couldn't believe it. & Only 2 people had to pull out.

Haha! I'm not sure what to say about Kenny & me on stage. I'm sooo very proud of :iconwakaleo:, his metal rings on his costume broke under the weight of his sword after wearing it for so long before the comp, but he just kept going. GO KENNY!!!! It's funny I kept telling him to expect the worst, & that's pretty much as bad as it could've gotten. I'm sooo proud of him. I have the best Guts EVER!!! Hahah!!! I was hiding backstage changing, so I didn't even know it'd happened until the skit was over & I was like WHAT THE FRELL!?!?!?
I think after that both Kenny & my hearts sank after so much work on the costumes for accuracy sake, we felt that had truely killed any small chance we may have had.

______


So Wakaleo & I wonder off back stage, try to watch the rest of the performances, had an interview with the ABC & had some photos taken, etc.
Both of us were exhausted by this stage. It really exhausting wearing armour & poor Kenny with his sword.

OMG WILL!!!!! :iconamenokitarou: Did such a freaking epic job. His skit was soooo intense & bloody freaking awesome. Will you're totally the best griffith ever!!! You're sooo pretty yet manry. LOL
I was literally squeeling from the side of the stage & holding my hand to my mouth from the amount of shokcing EPICness!!! Hah I think I scared John with my fangirling. xDDD GAWD WILL You're Epic!!!!

I was sad as I only got to see Tidus, Will & Alita perform on stage thanks to teh stuff going on behind stage. Thankfully :iconinfinitecosplay: got videos on my camera for me, which I'll upload as soon as I get the chance. Nto the best angle, but you can see what's going on. Thanks so much dude. I was so sad I couldn't watch them.

Miyu:iconmiyukiko: was soooo cute!!! I can't believe how epic you are. You MUST DO MORE SKITS DAMMIT!!!! Your on stage costume change was so perfect! GAh you must teach me to be at least half as awesome as you are!!!
HOMG :iconstrawdoll:STRAW & :iconsakanamochi:SU Haha you guys were sooo Kick-ass epic hawtness!!! I can't believe how good your sewing is.
GAWD :iconalita-b-angel:ALITA!!! You had me in sooo many stitches your skit was sooo funny!!!! Ahaahahahaa!!! Your videos are always the best & man your construction is INSANE!!!!
:iconqueencattabby:Anna Gah you always amaze me with the costumes you do! You were so epic as Kefka! I can't believe how amazingly detailed your construction is, holy crappu!!! O___O''' Plus your epic expressions just make the costume! xD

Okies enough fangirling.. I think. xDDD

They started announcing the madman winners half way through the cosplay comp. I didn't even realise what was going on until :iconamenokitarou: went up on stage. LOL Kenny & I didn't even think we'd place, so I was pointing at people like Alita & Miyu etc as they were building up. So when they called Kenny & I, I literally stood there with the most confused expression not moving, thinking they'd made a mistake. Kenny was like "WTF are you doing come up on stage with me." XDDD

So the placings were:

3rd - :iconqueencattabby:Anna as Kefka

2nd(AGAIN) - :iconamenokitarou:Will as Griffth

1st - :iconwakaleo: & :icontsubaki-chan:Myself as Guts & Casca

I'm sorry for being such a tool, but I honestly was not expecting it at all. DX I still honestly can't believe it. I'm so torn as I know how much Will wanted it, but at the same time I'm sooo epically happy for Kenny's sake as I know how badly he wanted to win since the comp began. I'm so happy to try & help him with this wish. ^^

Ah I'm so happy now though for very selfish reasons. Because we have gotten through with Kenny we can cosplay together as one of my favourite character duos/pairings ever!!! DREAM COSPLAY FTW!!!!!

For Finals we're going to cosplay Clover by CLAMP!!!
:icontsubaki-chan:Myself as Suu
:iconwakaleo:Kenny as Kazuhiko

I've been dying to do this combo for ages, so I'm so happy to bring it to life & actually do Suu justice after failing so bad at her in '06. GAH!!! *suzacides* Plus Kenny will be the most Perfect KAzuhiko ever & is one of the few people who has actually read & owns the manga. I will post more details as we work them out. Gah! Kenny is so epic he's already making construction plans with me.

Just on another note. THANKYOU :iconsakanamochi: for selling me your old Clover manga volumes all those years ago. I love you so hardcore for that. YOu're the best person ever!!!


I just realised how much I'm writing,s o I should really start summarising more. Before I go over DA's character limits again... OTL'''


Next up we had our group entry for Berserk with :iconwakaleo: as Guts, :icontsubaki-chan: as Casca, :iconamenokitarou: as Griffith, & :iconstormwarden83: as Pippin. We had so much fun all entering together under the group name 'Three & a Half Men' Of course Will was the half man. xD for fun we sung the intro to Two & a Half Men. xD It got some good laughs, which made us so happy! XDDD

My favourite shot of the day, thanks so much Pet:iconpet-chan: for capturing it!!! <3333


Saturday night we went to dinner with a bunch of people, for much celebrating & Karaoke. Didn't get back until after midnight. Freakin Brisbane people making fun of me for not being able to party as hard as them. DX I die so hard during con times. XD


I'm sorry I'm running out of allowed space for this entry, but it was sooo lovely to see the following people over the whole weekend.

Cosplay Updates -

- Going to be working full time on Madman & as well as working on side projects for Avcon, Smash & Main, not sure at this stage, but I'll likely be dropping a couple to make sure I give myself enough time to work on everything to the extent I want it completed.

- I'm going to start my weightloss mission again, I'm not gaining or losing weight atm, so I figured I could probaly try losing weight again. I want to get rid of my flub dammit!!! Gonna try & look good for Rikku & Suu.


- I really need to get to Cabra & look for sexy fabrics for everything I'm working on right now. DX Anyone want to go?????



PROGRESS TIEM!!!!
Right now I have no progress to show you as I've finished my main costumes & have yet to start the next lots. DX

Right now main cosplay projects are:


* Suu from Clover
______
I'm going all out with my fabric choice. I want this outfit to be perfect as I love Clover & hope to do it justice. DX
I've ordered my wig already, I have some of my fabrics & am ordering more... Freaking hell the fabric base I want is $25/m before postage, which is also murder. GAH!!!!! I think my wig will be the cheapest part of this costume DX which is insane, Why do I do this to myself?!?!?! DX



* Luchino from Lucky Dogs #1
______

Again no progress yet, have my fabrics sitting there, yelling at me to get to work on them. xD MY BAD!!!


* Rikku from Final Fantasy X
______

I'm really worried about doing this costume, but Rikku is totally one of my favourite characters ever. I'm such a FFX fangirl. xD I've started patterning my shirt so far, but soooo much more to go yet. GAH!!!! MUST GET TO WORK!!!! I'm gonna try & get her done in two weeks. This is my mission & I know I'll fail from being to anal about details DX

Updates -


- MORE BABY PHOTOS!!!! I'm probably going to post one per journal of my sister's baby  & my adourable nephew Cage. He's now 7weeks old. Hard to believe & he's the cutest thing ever!
He can smile now, he loves staring at everything, loves blank walls. He tries to talk to you sometimes when you smile at him, he goes 'ARRRRrrrooooo' It's sooo cute!!! He likes snoozing on me cause I'm warm & he never wants to stop snacking. XD

______


- I've been having so much fun just hanging out with my boys :iconamenokitarou: & :iconwakaleo: & my lovely sweet :iconazn-ann: lately. It's really fun & has become a weekly thing somehow, it's epic. XDDD
It's a nice break from working on gear commission & from helping my sister 2-3 days a week. DX


- My eBay store is closed for now, was getting fees through the roof, with little sales, as it's not a buying time of year, so may reopen closer to xmas, etc.


- I'm still waiting on my photos from Beethy from Brisnova, so no photos of Bulma or anymore of Sakura yet. OTL''' I'm a bit tired of waiting...


- Wig commissions I'm only taking on a case by case bases. Had a few too many rude requests & people not paying & not serious quote requests. So if you are really serious about getting a wig styled from me, please say so.


- I really enjoy my late night cosplay chatters with :iconaoyagi-seimei:, :iconasham: & :iconamenokitarou: You guys are all so good to me, I don't know how I'd survive without you. Thanks so much for keeping me motivated & for hanging out, even if it's only online, at the crazy hours I'm up at. xD


- Also a Reminder note to my winner of my 50k kiriban :iconmarynated:
I haven't forgotten about you. I'll find a gap for alucard, he will get done XDDD I'm sorry it's taking so long. DX
I'm still getting this done I swear!!! I've bought so much fabric & bits & pieces for this, I'd better get it done. xDDD Hope you don't mind the wait. DX

Feature -
Now I have a special feature this time, it going to another one of my boys. This guy is totally epic in all that he does, he's an adourable friend & an Uber Sexy Cosplayer!
This journals feature is: :iconmrkittycosplay:

Kitty is a very special guy to me, he's the sweetest & one of the most epic male cosplayers I know. I think it's because he's prettier than most girls. XDDD I think he even sews better than most girls. What the hell man!?! XDD  Every costume he does, just stuins me into awe every time. I love him too because he's an epic wig master too. XD
He has the most epic underwear & most amazing personality. I love hanging & chatting with him, even though we live in different states, there are no boundaries. I love you man, you definitely something special. :heart:
Be sure to check him out, as I tend to do, whilst perving on his page.

Cosplay Updates -

- I'm finally, finally, finally photoshooting on of my most longed for cosplays with the amazingly beautiful :iconazn-ann:!!!!!!!
We're cosplaying Soul Eater together! 8D
Black Star(:iconazn-ann:) & Tsubaki(:icontsubaki-chan:)
I'm soooo Happy & excited to be finally getting this done. XD YAY!!!!

Hopefully we get some epic fun shots together. ^^



- KH Shoot is still coming, but has been put off again due to lack of organisation. OTL'''



- Cosplay has been getting way toooo serious for people lately, I kind of enjoy hanging out with new cosplayers sometimes more than old. Just because they are still excited just to dress up, perform for the sake of a series they love & just hang out & that's what I love about cosplay. So Calm down guys it's just dressing up. I'm tired of being alienated, so I'm just going to reward & shower with love those who are close to me & deserve my attention. I'm really neutral in what ever happens to everyone else, I really don't care. I'm kind of glad & sad at the same time that this horrible stuff has happened so often to me that I'm really good at ignoring it now. But yeah... DRESSING UP.



- Supanova & Madman Nationals are creeping up so quickly! GAH!!!! I should have everything done, but I'm still freaking out. I'm happy to be entering with the Epic :iconwakaleo: I can't remember if I said this earlier or not, but we're cosplaying as Guts(:iconwakaleo:) & Casca(:icontsubaki-chan:) from Berserk. Kenny's Guts costume is soooooo EPIC!!!! I hope I can look sort of nice next to him maybe DX
If you haven't read Berserk I highly reccommend it. XD It doesn't have 32 volumes for no reason, it's freakin' WIN!!!!
Sydney round of madman is going to be so epic, so many amazing cosplayers are entering thise year, which is awesome. Sydney always has the best turn out I swear XDDD


Sunday will be fun as well I'm going to cosplay Beyblades G Revolution with :iconchristie-cosplay: as Kai, :iconwakaleo: as Kenny XD, & :icontsubaki-chan: as Tyson. LOL

I'm hoping for some shots like this:

______


They're meant to be....
______
Feel the sexual tension. LOL *is shot by Christie* xDDDD*



PROGRESS TIEM!!!!
I really enjoy having this section in my journals, reminds me to actually update more often & it's just nice to show the hard work that goes into each of my costumes. It's really rewarding. ^^

Right now main cosplay projects are:


* Kairi from Kingdom Hearts 2
______

She's a bit wrinkley, hoping that comes out with some ironing, but yes this was the costume My underpants poll was referring to. LOL & yes as you can see I have made them in the corner there. *cough* LOL

______
______





* Casca from Berserk
______

I'm working hard on her, next hardest step is the backdrop for the skit, I just know it's going to annoy me. DX

______
Shoes that abuse

______
Does this potato sack make me look fat???
I think half my part of the madman folio was me raging about this shirt. LOL
____________
Her freaking sword design is annoying to cut out. & had make an epic hole in my stocking to prevent camel toe. DX But apparently Kenny likes that. CREEPY!!! XDDDD
____________
Everyone LOVES GLOVES!!!! These are my first pair of properly made gloves & I actually really enjoyed making them, which is rare for me to really enjoy working on something complicated, but it really was fun. XD
____________
My sword sheath & armour in the works. The sheath looks so much better than I expected, so I'm really happy. Hopefully my armour doesn't make me look tooo fat DX
______
Casca hair... I look like a guy DX Gonna have to make sure to girlie up the make up to prevent confusion... hopefully. DX

Wig Commissions -

Status: OPEN, but only for serious orders




Here are some samples of wigs I've styled in the past:
Spikey wigs-
Kamina Wig by Tsubaki-chan Soul Wig by Tsubaki-chan Tendou Kozunu Wig by Tsubaki-chan

Gravity defying wigs-
Lucky Star Anime Tencho Wig by Tsubaki-chan Barbara wig by Tsubaki-chan Kyouichi Wig by Tsubaki-chan

Pretty girly wigs-
Euphemia wig by Tsubaki-chan Sakura Wig by Tsubaki-chan Kenshin Wig by Tsubaki-chan



The cost of a wig changes everytime as it is based on:
- Base charge (how much the wig base is)
- Cost of tools (such as: hairspray, pins or clips, hair ties, etc.)
- Time & effort (how long the wig takes & how hard it'll be to style)


Examples of simple wig prices-
Soul Eater wig: (Base=$30)+(Tools=$8)+(Time/effort=$30)= $68 (+P/H)
Sakura Kinomoto wig: (Base=$50)+(Tools=$8)+(Time/effort=$30)=$88 (+P/H)



Complicated wigs can cost a lot more mainly for time, such as when they need wefting or custom buns, etc. They can look a lot more accurate & are recommended for those who are very picky about their costumes being PERFECT!
For example, Euphemia wig with hand made matching bun attached, individual curl styling, & heat resistant wig fibre.
(Base=$150)+(Tools=$30)+(Time/effort=$100)=$280 (+P/H)


Of course these are sample prices, they can be cheaper, but less quality, or more expensive for more accurance & wig fibre quality.



SEND ME A NOTE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN A WIG COMMISSION


Payment/Delivery options, as well as, Terms & conditions can be found here: tsubaki-chan.deviantart.com/jo…


It'll take about 5 steps to order a wig:
1) Make the request, Via NOTE & provide references & descriptions

- I had so much epic fun at Kenny's :iconwakaleo: house with Will :iconamenokiatrou: workshopping on costumes in the lead up to Brisnova. You guys are so epic to hang & make cosplay with. I had such a ball. It's even more epic because Kenny has outside workspace & feeds you DELICIOUS CAKE!!!!!! XDDDDD His Dad's Bakery is awesome. XDDDD

We did it again last weekend & it was epic constructive. I made a whole shirt LOL... OTL''' it shouldn't take that long, but I swear I'm retardly slow now with everything. so worried about fsuking it up. *sigh*
Will worked on his many armors coming up & Kenny  played with cardboard, showing off his l33tness *joke* XDDD
Rinne :iconazn-ann: came over as well to visit for epic catch up & seafood fried dinner of fried dinner LOL



- I did an epic shoot with Christie :iconchristie-cosplay:!!!! I've forgotten how good it is to work with photographers who are cosplayers. Christie knows the character & knows how to capture my face. the whole shoot she fixed my wig when it moved & asked if there were bits of the costume I wasn't happy with &* wanted to cover up etc. it was really nice & relaxed. That & I love christie & hanging out with her in general so we had a ball. xDDD
I LOVE YOU DUDETTE!!!!!!





- I had the most Epic time in Brisbane! It was awesome! More details in Con report below.

Con Report -

- Brisbane Supanova was insanely EPIC!!!!!
I swear my interstate trips have been soooo EPIC this year!!! Like insanely epic!!! I've been having sooo much fun with everyone. XD

I'm waiting on pics atm, so majority are just nabbed from FB for now. I'm kind of fearing my ugliness. DX

Went to Roxas' :iconinfinitecosplay: at 11pm the night before we both had to leave for Bris, both of us exhausted. LOL we got distracted chatting for 30mins before we realised we really should catch up when in Brisbane LOL. Dropped off my Sakura stuff with him to save on Excess Baggage! I LOVE YOU ROXAS!!!!

So no sleep for me, packing & finishing things before leaving.

Got to the airport at 5am on thrusday with Will :iconamenokitarou: He was still hand sewing bits of his costume together. I decided to leave the rest of my stuff until we arrived. We chatted up until take off, then both of us passed out. Got free breakfast on the plane, but neither of us really wanted to eat it. Either because we were too exhausted or too overly hungry. =___=''' We both sucked down the juice though... LOL we were sooo dead. XDDD

Landed in Bris got picked up by Greg :iconstormwarden83: & Casey :iconemiko-sakura:

We went to Greg's place to drop off bags & boxes, then made our way to MOVIE WORLD!!!!
Meeting up at the house with Judith :iconchibifiedkitsunes:, Samoan, Nicole :iconpaphio:, & Amber :silhouettedwhim:.

______
We went to movie world with the theme of dressing in lolita or j-rock/punk. It was really fun aside from the heat. DX Also my lack of sleep & hatred for spill your guts out rides. DX
It was really funny as the people at the park thought we were part of the events because we were dressed up... It felt weird explaining numerous times that this is in my regular rotation of clothing. XD
It was epic fun The food was sooo giant & terrible & expensive as you expect LOL I loved the drinks though. OM NOM NOM refills OM NOM NOM. Any place with slurpees is automatic win with me. xDDD

I was sad as my favourite headband I bought in Japan fell off during the scoobydoo ride. TT3TT

I have leh regret... The sets were cool though.


I caught a 15minute nap whilst waiting for the others with Casey to go on one of the more insane rides. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! totally revived me for the rest of the night until tomorrow LOL


______

Ahahahahah Epic photobombing by Me, Judith :iconchibifiedkitsunes: & Will :iconamenokitarou:

We were so exhausted when we got back, but had to go striaght to working on costumes. DANG!!!! XDDD

I started off by finishing my Goku commission for Greg :iconstormwarden83: I was sooo happy everything fit him. OSU!!!! Means I saved time on resizing things. Left his wig to finish spraying in the morning. XD

Will & I ended up staying up pretty much all night working on our costumes on thursday night. Me finishing Bulma, him Snow.
Me, Greg, Amber :iconsilhouettedwhim:, Nicole :iconpaphio:, Roxas, Samoan & Becca heading to our motel near the venue, it was pretty awesome.
In the end Ben :iconmrkittycosplay: & his friends were staying at the motel as well. So we had soooo much fun. LOL even Beethy :iconbeethy: ended up dropping in on us as well as he couldn't get to Minh's that night, so he actually went into Ben's room & stole his bed LOLOLOL Ben ended up in my bed, so hilariously fun XDD
It was sooo awesome our motel gang. So much fun hanging out with everyone having ice cream & drinks. LOL Greg :iconstormwarden83: introduced me to the most epic mango juice drink & let me steal his ice cream OM NOM NOM. Ohohohohoo!!! these things totally kept me alive for all nighters, sorry for keeping you up dude LOL You're sooo rude when you're tired WTF?!!?!?
I got to stink out Beethy with his most fond memory EVER!!!! Ahahahahaaa!!! That will never die. Just after he'd gotten through saying how I'm really easy to talk to with him & Roxas because I'm totally one of the guys. Note they'd just gotten through a conversation about their balls. Bwahahaahaha!!!
I also will never forget the hand towel shower incident. I love Beethy & Roxas together. They're just tooo hilarious XDDDD

Friday I wore Bulma it was fun exploring the venue for brisnova, it was HUGE!!!!!! It was like running around a sydney con on the saturday, but this was the friday. could only imagine at that point what the weekend would be like. Got to say hi to Sly :iconslykura: & Luke :iconzerebin:

Saturday it took me like 3hrs to get ready for some reason. DX I think it was because of all the squeezing layers & glitter I forced onto myself. DX
Roxas was uber late with me & thankfully Nicole helped me on the way down to the venue & carried my stand for me. I love you Goku/Goten LOL XDD <333

Had sexy short shoot with Shona as sexy Fai :iconzimiel: & Beethy :iconbeethy: I didn't get to enjoy much of it because I was late even though we didn't really have a time & just got texted & told to come NOW OTL''' not impressed, but at least I wasn't paying for it LOL
I don't think I want to do anymore at con shoots unless it's on a friday. It's to hectic otherwise. DX

Rest of the time was a sweaty blur filled with lines to get anywhere & everywhere BRISBANE IS INSANE!!!! DX

I loved all the people entering madman, so much sex!!! Casey & I were twins in out big dresses & big boobs. XD
I love Shona for Tsubasa fandomness!!! Squee!!!!

Freaked out when it was finally time for my skit. Urgh... I still kind of hate myself for being so fail.

______
I like this shot as it's so INTENSE DRAMA LOL

______
LOL I'm sooo fail. I was happy with how my singing synced in the end. But I don't think many people actually realised I was the one singing on the recording OTL'''

______
Ahaahah!!!! Maintaining my tradition of making a mess of the stage. This time with feathers & glitter. I wonder if John is getitng sick of it as he seems to be at every con where I've done it so far LOLz

______
Here is the final touch I've been working on since failcon. These wings were such a fun idea to make & work on, with sequin trim along to tops to make them sparkle, as I made everything about this costume do... SPARKLE!!! LOL I was so happy to have them finished & hope they added a nice touch to the end of my skit.

______
YAY!!! LINE OF SEXY PEOPLE!!!! all the Entrants in a line.

1st: :iconzimiel: as Fai from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
SKIT - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z51cxO…

2nd: :iconamenokitarou: as Snow from Final Fantasy XIII
SKIT - www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHyF_5…

3rd: :icontsubaki-chan: as Sakura from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
SKIT - www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MqTx3…


Congrats also to:
-:iconemiko-sakura: in her Beautiful C.C. Dress & really Romantic Skit!!! You are so amazing lovely. Especially incredible for your first comp.
SKIT - www.youtube.com/watch?v=RThHsJ…
-Tina for her Ciel dress & hilarious Skit!!! You are incrdible for someone who's been cosplaying for such a short time. I really can't wait to see more of your costumes. Also I know your pain for sooo much gathering. DX
SKIT - www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGPWOD…
-& to the D.Gray-man girls. I'm sorry I've forgotten your names. You guys did a great job for you first time. I hope to see you come back. I really loved your hammer especially. Also thanks for letting me try on your Lavi hair LOLz. xD
SKIT - www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOJLfZ…

MANY MANY MANY Thanks to :icondanacyrus:  for filming the skits on my camera for me. I love you hardcore!!!!


I was really happy to even place in Madman Round especially in Brisbane. WTF? Brisbane is like Cosplay central to me, so I was really surprised. Especially since I suck at individual cosplay LOL. I loved all the people who entered in all their sexiness & was so happy with the results. Everyone was really amazing & deserving it was such a nice comp. It's the first time I've even had pre-judging & post-judging, it was different, but actually really good as I was a lot more nervous before doing my skit & a lot calmer for post-judging. I hope I didn't scare :iconk-tetsu:, :iconcielroses:, & :iconslykura: too much with all my nervous babbling. DX
I'm hoping I can take this to make me a bit braver for individual cosplay as well for groups. I still prefer groups though XD Lots of fail shaking from me on stage DX


I hate how useless I am on stage. I can do the whole pre-recorded skit thing, but after that I'm so shit fail. DX I really don't know how to get a crowd interested in what I have to say, nor can I crack jokes or speak coherantly or anything. *sigh* no wonder people usually interrupt or ignore me on stage even when I've put in so much effort. OTL''''
You'd think that with this being my 9th year cosplaying, I'd be a bit better with the stage. I feel bad when I know I've done a bad job. I at least don't freak out as bad in the lead up to skits anymore, just in those few minutes before which is good I guess. I just freak out in silence. OTL''''
*sigh* so much to learn... OTL''''


After the con was fun we got changed & went to a tasty dinner down the road. OM NOM NOM.
My costume was done, just needed minor touch ups from the friday. However we had yet to record the skit. DX Thankfully I got greg to do most of the voices as I fail at uber manry voices. OSU!!!!
It was funny as originally I wrote most of the skit content, then on the night hated it & scrapped most of it. Greg was awesome & stepped in helping so much with the new rewrite I think most of it was his material in the end LOL awesome!
I haven't seen any videos of it unfortunately.

On Sunday I cosplayed as Bulma from DragonBall again. I spent far too much on such a terrible costume. Don't know if I'd ever wear something like this again. My friends liked seeing my leg, but I got so many terrible comments from randoms I don't think I'd wear this again in public. OTL'''
I HATE RANDOMS SOMETIMES!!!!
My self confidence has been shot... again. OTL''''


The skit was fun, I just hated the line ride, but thankfully I got to lay down through most of the waiting thanks to Greg, Roxas & Brit. That was nice, but totally shredded my stockings doing it. XDDD My bad!

The skit went really well & people understood our jokes, which was great.

______
This is the only semi-decent photos I have of the costume atm, I'll hopefully get some photos off Beethy soon, but right now I'm aiming to do anything to avoid wearing it again. OTL''' thankfully no pictures of my butt have appeared on the internet that I've seen. I purposely covered my butt when posing in photos & when walking past creepy people with video cameras. DX DO NOT WANT!!!


Sunday we headed back to Greg's house all of us uber exhausted, quickly showered & got changed then went off to J's :iconjkale: MANSION for a party. XD
There were so many wonderful people there, just too many to mention. DX
It was sooo much fun though, got introduced by sabina to the cult of the magic wang. I got to draw all over roxas in glow stick. I raped Sierra with multiple glow sticks in her many holes... Ohohoohohoo!!! Plus got to eat J's Grandma's DELICIOUS CAKE!!!! HOMG!!!! It was sooo good!!!!
The night was just so much fun & simply epic!!!

Whilst driving back we did some naughty cramming in the car *cough* but no one saw it. I got to squeeze little amy in my lap the whole time, she's soooo cute she sung along to the radio most of the trip LOL. XD
On the drive back Roxas somehow got confused & followed the wrong car off the motorway & ended up taking an extra hour long detour to find the macca's. So greg & I ate sooo much food whilst waiting for them, longuing in his car. It was awesome. A great way to end the night. xD


We got back in the AM & ended up passing out for like 12hrs, it was great xDDD Most sleep of the week. Roxas had to leave early to drive back home in time to go to work the next day.
He unfortunately left his FB logged in on my laptop. MWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! so me being me was evil & changed all his profile stuff & his profile pic. Mwahahahahaaaa!!!! I love you Roxas for always putting up with me XD LOL

Took monday off & Greg was very nice & took me shopping to spotlight, etc. We bumped into Darcy at work, it was epic as he works at the centre near Greg's house. He looks just as cute out of costume as in. It was lovely seeing him.
Monday night we had a really nice dinner with Minh :iconmint-ice-tea:, Hiyuki :iconhiyuki:, K :iconk-tetsu:, Aly :iconcielroses:, & J :iconjkale:
It was so nice & filled with porn. I nearly made Aly choke though by being too much of a fangirl XD I'M SORRY!!!!! Further proving fangirling is dangerous to other peoples health LOL
K's so sweet she gave me an epic sexy Ledouch badge, which of course I put on my boob. Ohohohohoho!!!!
The food I had was really tasty OM NOM NOM!!! I still can't keep up with Aly & K's food knowledge. They listed all these names of things that went straight over my head lol... I'm just keh? I like schnacks...


TUESDAY WAS INSANELY EPIC!!!!!! We went to the BEACH at the GOLD COAST!!!!!!!
OMG I think that was the most fun of the whole trip!!! Thank you Casey :emiko-sakura: for driving!!!! Me, Greg & Casey met up with Ben :iconmrkittycosplay: & Jas :iconboco903: at the timezone at the gold coast. It was insanely huge!!!! It was almost like the ones in Japan, sooo many huge games everywhere. There was this epic game where you stomp on the screen on the floor, it was epic Ben & I failed so bad at it stomping on the bugs attacking some guys head LOL. There was also a whole room for this shoot out game it was so funny riding the horse & shooting straight. I came second 8D OSU!!!!
It was so funny by the end of our time at Timezone we were trying to use up the money on our swipe cards, so Ben gave me his whilst he was playing a finger version of DDR. So I ran off & came back with a special limited edition gold engraved picture of... MEEEEEE LOL!!! I hope you love it & cherish it forever Ben!!! ohohohohoo!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 I love you man!!!!

After Time zone we had lunch, then rolled straight to the beach!!! Casey is sooo sweet & epic & wore her CC bikini for me even though I asked her to wear it as a joke. I LOVE YOU!!!! Beach was epic huge, it had like a pool at the front of it & crazy ocean waves after that!!! SO COOL!!!! We got sooo sandy... then we made it worse by having WET SAND FIGHTS!!!! OMG SO MUCH FUN!!!! Damn Casey poured sooo much sand down my boobs & back DX We both looked so inappropriate trying to wash the sand out in the kids pool section LOLOLOLOL It was great.

______
Originally in the water in was just me, jas & casey, but we convinced Ben eventually to hop in in his clothes & his epic TIGER UNDERPANTS!!!! I lvoe your undies man!!! MWahahahaa!!! It was sooo much fun... cannot express the fun!!!! Dawwwww I miss you guys. DX

______
It was really a great way to end a trip. ^^
Special thanks to Greg for taking the photos & organising all of it XDDDD YOu're insanely epic Man!!!

We headed back to the house for quick change of clothes then I had to leave for the airport. Casey was so sweet & drove me as it was on the way to her house. I WANT YOUR PLAYLIST LOL XDDD

Now that I have your attention. This Guy wants to come to BRISNOVA!!!!
Epic cosplay photographer, well photographer in General.

The thing is he's not sure if he can afford to come unless he gets some paid shoots booked.
He's happy taking photos at the con & will make you look AWESOME.
Here's his website link for rates: www.beethy.com/about/


So if you'd like your epic photos taken at brisnova, leave him a note & hopefully he'll be able to make it with enough interest. He's uber cheap for such a talented photographer, grab him before he realises this. xD

Feature -
This feature is slightly... obvious. xDDD Kind of shameful but friendly advertising, but they're awesome so who cares. This journals feature is: :iconbeethy:

Beethy is Win for Photography & for looking damn hawt in my Sakura dress doncha think? Am I Beethy Yet? by Tsubaki-chan
Okies that's not actually part of the feature, but damned hot either way.

If you'd like to get a feature as well, then just impress me ;)

Con Report -



Okay I had to tell the lead up story to this con, as it was epically hilarious. I was up all night finishing my costume as I had to help beethy, LittleStarfish & Emily photoshoot the day before. It was uber fun meeting emily & getting know Beethy better, he lives freaking down the road from me WTF?
I was getting a lift from InfiniteCosplay with Miyukiko which was TOTALLY EPIC!!!! No one has EVER EVER offered to drive me to a con from my house. So they arrived in the morning, pretty much on time, then roxas collapses on my lawn wiggling in pain. He suddenly felt really ill, but Roxas ill is somehow hilarious, especially dressed as Sora, he lays there moaning & groaning, it was AWESOME!!! so in the end I was the one driving. XDDD HIS CAR IS FAIL!!!! The sun shade falls in your direct line of sight randomly, you can open windows or some doors, you can't move the mirrors without getting out of the car, his brakes barely work & there's no aircon. xD OH MAN!!!! I complained the whole trip, poor Roxas got an ear full, but man I love you man!!! XDDD




Mini Animania:

  I had an epic time at Mini Animania!!! The new venue was good. YOU COULD MOVE!!!! I was actually able to run from side to side in the convention hall for once. It was great. Free entry is awesome TWICE thanks to :iconwakaleo: etting me do panel & enter expo again. I really enjoy helping out at the con, but not as adirect volunteer. ^^
  My Zero costume was up in the expo & looked so hilarious on the mannequin as always with my costumes. I was actually surprised I got a girl one for once, so no man-louch, instead there was LittleStarfish MAN-SHARON from Pandora Hearts. Made me LOL so hardcore!!! XDDD

  Did the sex wig panel with Cattypatra we kind of rushed it a bit this time as I put too many slides, then kind of over shot it, but ended right on time OSU!!!! That's a first for me. I was a bit sad as it was less personal than the panel rooms are, but HUGE CROWD WAS HUGE!!! HOLY CRAPU WAS THAT EXCITING TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE TAKING INTEREST. XO
I love doing panels at cons I hope I get to do more. I wonder if people are getting sick of my wig talk yet?? XDDD There's still so much I never cover. xD

  WCS PRESELECTION WAS EPIC!!! It gets better & better each year. I was so proud of every team in it. Everyone was incredible, it was great fun to watch. XD

YOU CAN WATCH THE SKITS HERE: www.youtube.com/user/TsubakiSa…

The winners were:

1st - S.M.E.X. :iconcielroses: & :iconk-tetsu:
2nd - Sengoku/Tofu Knights :icontwinklee: & :iconchristie-cosplay:
3rd - GundamFamigilia :icongundamfamiglia:

Amazing work guys
Also special mention to Roflcopter Twin Drills :iconamenokitarou: & :iconryusuke-san: & also to G's Killer Crew (not sure of their DA's) for their entries.

  I was cosplaying as Kadaj, it was surprisingly less fail than I thought, people actually noticed my detailing. I was very happy for that, but FSUK WAS IT HOT TO WEAR!!!! I had to stop to lay down & fan myself continuously. DX Damn you weather!!!! Why'd you have to suddenly get hot. TT3TT

  Got to practice finally with all the UBER SEX of out group alita-b-angel as Sephiroth, Arlo-Arleh as Cloud, Budgi-e as Reno, echoing-artemis as Yuffie, Saerianne as Jenova/Momma, Athira as Aeris & ??? as Rufus, also special mention to queencattabby for helping out in general & taking many sexy photos.
  The Group Won Best Skit & Runner-up Best Group. XD
That was exciting & kind of unusual considering the number of entries. Also congrats to breathless-ness & MayBea for winning the oppsite awards LOL a Double, Double win??? XDDD How did that happen??? XD

  I had so much fun at mini I liked that I got the chance to at least say hi to most of the people I know. You guys are all such wonderful people. ^^ Thanks for the great con experience again.

ALSO MEGA THANKS FOR DRIVING ME HOME ROXAS!!! I would not have made it alive otherwise. ^^ <333




Armageddon (i.e. FAIL/SHIT/CRAPCON):

Oh man was this a bad con... Like yeah... it was in a room, with a fakes stall no attendance/advertising, cosplay comp had no audio/screen/technology/prizes & a bacwards stage. They'd actually withdrawn the majority of their advertised prizes, which was bull.

There was a couple of nice things at the con. One of the guests stopped during their photoshoots to compliment my dress which was really sweet. I was too embarrassed to reply, so I did my usual giggle & run away OTL''' Dammit Justin!!! I hate that you're always right. DX
I got to see the beautiful Juliet, that's always exciting! XD
The venue is AWESOME for photoshoots. FAR OUT!!! Got some great photos with :iconkrisez: & :iconbeethy:

I cosplayed as Sakura from Tsubasa with my uber hawt Fai :iconlittlestarfish:
There was much fapping to be had... actually sleep... because I'd spent all of the night before awake again, I was so exhausted come con time, so I fell asleep twice in on my dress LOL. It even has a tiny face smudge on it now. DX Hilarious but annoyingly awesome.
I had fun seeing the sexy Miyukiko, strawdoll, sakanamochi, GundamFamiglia, InfiniteCosplay & Luke-Chan
Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys for so long. It was fun even if I was sleeping through most of it.

Won best group with Star ^^ Many Thanks to Justin for finding what prizes he could. I got me an art.
I was sad we didn't get to do our skit after we spent 2hrs recording it & I spent 5hrs editing it together. OTL''' that was a bit of a pain... not sure if we'll ever get the chance to perform it now, which is a bit sad. TT3TT
MAN I COULD'VE SLEPT THOSE 7HRS!!!! DX

I had lots of fun hanging out with everyone afterwards for dinner. Also being evil with Asham Sorry Beethy for confusing you about his gender. xDDD LOL
Got Beethy to drink Garlic/salt/oil/cucumber/juice. That was pretty impressive. Had fun stealing Alita's food even though it was too spicy for me to handle. XDDD

Good day by the end, just kind of wish i didn't have to spend money on the con. xD it totally didn't count as a con. Those guests looked so bored & depressed. XD

Wig Commissions -

Status: OPEN




Here are some samples of wigs I've styled in the past:
Spikey wigs-
Kamina Wig by Tsubaki-chan Soul Wig by Tsubaki-chan Tendou Kozunu Wig by Tsubaki-chan

Gravity defying wigs-
Lucky Star Anime Tencho Wig by Tsubaki-chan Barbara wig by Tsubaki-chan Kyouichi Wig by Tsubaki-chan

Pretty girly wigs-
Euphemia wig by Tsubaki-chan Sakura Wig by Tsubaki-chan Kenshin Wig by Tsubaki-chan



The cost of a wig changes everytime as it is based on:
- Base charge (how much the wig base is)
- Cost of tools (such as: hairspray, pins or clips, hair ties, etc.)
- Time & effort (how long the wig takes & how hard it'll be to style)


Examples of simple wig prices-
Soul Eater wig: (Base=$30)+(Tools=$8)+(Time/effort=$30)= $68 (+P/H)
Sakura Kinomoto wig: (Base=$50)+(Tools=$8)+(Time/effort=$30)=$88 (+P/H)



Complicated wigs can cost a lot more mainly for time, such as when they need wefting or custom buns, etc. They can look a lot more accurate & are recommended for those who are very picky about their costumes being PERFECT!
For example, Euphemia wig with hand made matching bun attached, individual curl styling, & heat resistant wig fibre.
(Base=$150)+(Tools=$30)+(Time/effort=$100)=$280 (+P/H)


Of course these are sample prices, they can be cheaper, but less quality, or more expensive for more accurance & wig fibre quality.



SEND ME A NOTE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN A WIG COMMISSION


Payment/Delivery options, as well as, Terms & conditions can be found here: tsubaki-chan.deviantart.com/jo…
