Petshop of Horrors group for Anime Boston or AnimeNext?

[ladyofthethread]

A few months back, I asked if anyone were interested in doing a Petshop of Horrors group sometime but there weren’t any definite plans made. But novaraven (who has also cosplayed D plus his father and grandfather) is now working on plans to come down from Canada for Anime Boston so I thought it might be a good time to try for a group. She’s also making the 19th Century D outfit so we’re going to be confusing and wear our versions together as D and his grandpa. :-D Plus, she should have a Leon with her and possibly a Pon-Chan.

Currently, there are no plans to do a skit or the hall contest together but we were talking about applying for cosplay chess and I’m sure we’ll do pictures at some point. ^_^ If you’d like to join us, let me know. See the links for reference pics or if you want to look at the whole album: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v342/LadyoftheThread/psoh%20reference/. We can also try to have a smaller group for AnimeNext if people are interested since I know at least one person isn’t able to make AB.

Count D – myself (although I can also wear his sister’s dress for a while if someone else would like a turn playing D)
D’s grandfather –novaraven
D’s father –
D’s sister –
Leon –novaraven’s friend
T-Chan (totetsu) – kiwi_lady is going to do T-Chan for AnimeNext but probably won't be able to make AB ;_; 
Pon-Chan (racoon) – novaraven's friend if she comes
Honlon (3-headed dragon) – a couple of people are interested in this although I don't have a definite yet
Ten-Chan (9-tailed fox) – bloodied_tears
Medusa (basilisk) – heartxofxlilith
P-Chan (bird of pardise) – Lilly from cosplay.com
Alice (rabbit) –
Keirin (kirin) –
Eva (mermaid) (obviously this one needs some modifications so you don’t get kicked out of the con if anyone wants to do it ^_^;;;) –
Suioh (phoenix) –
Alex (vampire) –
Norma (vampire) –
Dreizehn (doberman) –
Toki birds –jezeroth is tentatively doing the male ibis; the female bird has not been claimed
Mellow (digital fish) –
Pandora (Maine coon cat) –
Tina (jaguar) –
Butterfly – 
Sohki (kirin) (Sohki is actually from Genju no Seiza, another of Matsuri Akino's manga, but he goes to visit D in a bonus story in one of the Genju no Seiza volumes)– 

If anyone wants to do something I didn’t list, let me know and I’ll add it in. I omitted a bunch of the little kid characters with less interesting designs, pets we never saw human versions of, and stuff from the sequel since I didn’t think anyone would be likely to want to do those. Also, there are a lot of pets that only appear as background characters (you can see a few in the pic with Norma) and a few that are only in artbook pictures or extra illustrations. (I think the lolita catgirls are cute but D needs nicer clothes in that picture. Ripped cobweb patterned stuff and a bondage collar is so out of character. O_o;;) 


And, jumping to a somewhat related topic, I got the collar for the new costume finished. I ended up appliquéing the trim along the edges and I think it came out pretty well. ^_^ Need to work on the main robe next.

OMG, the costume looks AMAZING! O.O
And you've got the pearls!! *claps the hands, jumping*
*___________* It's becoming soooo amazing!

Naaah, I wish I didn't live sooooooooo far T_T Here, it would be even more difficult to gather people to make a PSoH cosplay group. The only cosplayer I ever saw trying PSoH was Simone Setti, the one who tried the Kirin [and made it so perfectly that I amost died when watching the video]. If I were there I'd totally try Norma.

[[I know this is useless, but I got a bit confused when I saw something written in Portuguese in one of the mangas xD You have a picture of it. Right below the 'Diamonde' in the Toki birds' image, there's 'Lágrima de Diamante' written. I looked at that like 'O.O why the f***??' xD
Though I so wanted to try to cosplay one of them o.o So beautiful!]]

Ok, ok, enough useless comments. Just one more thing: loved the drabbles on your last post ^^

Thanks. ^_^

Yes, a lot of the Petshop fans I’ve talked to online seem scattered and there don’t seem to be many cosplayers for it in the northeast US.

Oh, it’s Portuguese? The birds in that story were also known by the name diamond’s tear. Hmm… But now that you mention it, it seems kind of random to have that since they were supposed to be Japanese birds. O_o

There's no need for thanks when we're just commenting a fact. It *is* amazing.

That's the whole problem, HAHAHA xD There are not enough PSoH fans anywhere we look! It is such a wonderful manga, why doesn't it have more fans? Are the good manga's fans all into that Naruto bullshit? u.u Seriously, I can't understand what do people see in that Naruto. or even in Vash Stampede. Anyway... I need to go to the US and help you to gather PSoH fans for a group cosplay. hohohohoho

And yeah, it is portuguese ^^ Lágrimas de Diamante = Diamond's tear, though you already know it. And that's the very reason why I got so confused, why is the name in Portuguese?? Only Akino knows for sure o.o

[ladyofthethread.livejournal.com]

Hmm… Don’t know. I’ve never seen/read a lot of the really popular series because a lot of them seem to fall into the action category and I’m not really into that type of thing. I find I tend to like series with ongoing plots that are like puzzles which you gradually work out. Must be from liking to read mystery novels. ^_^;

Not sure about that either. Maybe, Lagrimas de Diamante was a nickname for the birds that originated in Portuguese? Can’t think of another good reason for it being written like that.
