A few AnimeNext notes and a meme

Detailed AnimeNext report will come later but a few notes for now. Despite some problems like all the rain and barely getting Tamaki finished, I had an okay time and it was fun wearing the Ouran costume. The most amusing part had to be that I was supposed to be cosplaying a guy in that ridiculous poofy ballgown. XD Signed up to do a walk-on in the masquerade since I figured the costume would be good for the stage with all the sparkles I put on it. Won Best Craftsman Craftsmanship for it. ^_^



[livejournal.com profile] dressdragn just posted the pic above and ACP has video of my walk-on: http://www.acparadise.com/acp/vid/5270

A silly walk-on would probably have been more fitting, considering the scene from the anime but I didn’t have time to find silly music. ^_^; So, I used the finale version of “Night Waltz” from one of my favorite Sondheim scores, “A Little Night Music.” In a way, I guess it’s fitting, too, since that musical is basically a romantic farce with lots of love triangles and mismatched couples. The first part of the finale track is actually “Send in the Clowns,” where the main couple finally realizes they want to be together. The significance of my music choice was probably lost on the audience though for being so esoteric. :-P

Had a bit of back pain on Monday, which I assumed was just left over from the con (my brother said the hotel beds made his back hurt, too) plus being tired. But it got worse that night and kept me from sleeping well. My parents think it was from when I fell on Saturday night after getting my award. My foot slipped on the first step as I was leaving the stage and I sat down on the stage. ._.; Embarrassing but I didn’t fall hard and felt fine so I didn’t really think anything of it at the time. Not really anyone’s fault; I was just clumsy due to not being used to walking around in that giant hoopskirt. Went to the doctor yesterday morning and should be fine in several days. I was hoping to possibly hang out with people this weekend but I guess it’ll have to wait until next week now.


Meanwhile, I saw [livejournal.com profile] stillvisions post this and was kind of curious what people might answer…

Dress up doll Meme

You just received a brand new doll who makes their own costumes, me!

- What 3 costumes would you dress me in?
- What series / versions are they?
- Why would you want to see me in that costume?

Hi there! I saw you at AnimeNEXT~! I LOOVED your Tamaki cosplay. I've also seen your Count D cosplays at cosplay.com. Your skills are amazing! I hope you don't mind me adding you ^^

Hello. :-) Sure, you can add me. I mostly just ramble about costume stuff here so I don't mind. What's your cosplay.com name? Feel free to introduce yourself if you run into me at a future con! :-)

I actually don't really have a cosplay.com account. I used to, but I got it a long time ago and don't remember my username. There was nothing on it anyway XD

Hope to see you at another convention~ X3

You are awesome for doing that Tamaki costume, congrats on the award! :D I think for my height, I can only be Honey-senpai though....

Thanks! ^_^

Hmm... I think I remember seeing in character profiles somewhere that Honey-senpai was supposed to be 4'9" and that Haruhi was 5'0". I wouldn't have minded cosplaying one of them but didn't think I was cute and petite enough. :-/ I'm only about 5'3" but have large bones and a huge skull. I'm not really tall enough for any of the other guys but I figured a good thing about the ballgown was that the heels and headdress would add to my height.
