ladyofthethreadOn Friday, I went to visit my best friend who moved into a new condo with her sister recently. Her boyfriend baked scones and made sandwiches so the four of us had tea outside on the terrace, which was nice. ^_^
We tried some of the flowering tea I’d brought as part of a housewarming present, a new variety I found at Pearl River. They seem to have somewhat random names and this one was called “noble madam.” It bloomed prettily though!
And here’s the food. Mixed berry scones, egg salad sandwiches, watercress sandwiches, watermelon chunks, and strawberries (the bowl on the bottom that you can’t see into).
6. Your favourite cosplay (that you have done)
Count D’s 19th Century outfit from Petshop of Horrors is still my favorite although I don’t bring it to cons that often anymore.
7. The character you have cosplayed that is most similar to you (if none that you have cosplayed, then one that you will cosplay)
Hmm… Maybe, Kyoya since he’s smart and tends to be serious. A bunch of other characters I’ve done are rather silly when I’m usually more serious in real life.
8. Your cosplay plans for the rest of the year (if you have no more for this year, then do next year!)
Um, not much since I don’t have any more cons planned for the year other than maybe NYCC/NYAF. I’d probably do Morgan LeFlay from Tales of Monkey Island for that.
And maybe get back to working on Lia from Le Chevalier D’eon which I started last year but got put aside. Probably wouldn’t get a chance to wear it until next year at Katsucon though.
9. The dream cosplay that might just happen
Layla’s Cinderella ballgown from Kaleido Star. Although group plans for this past Costume Con fell through, I’d still like to try to make this at some point.
10. The dream cosplay that will never happen
Since the Costume Con theme this year was Broadway, I had thought about making Polly’s white finale dress from Crazy for You. But decided it would be too expensive with all the ostrich feather trim along the bottom of the huge circle skirt (the feathers would have been hundreds alone) and too impractical since I wouldn’t have good chances to wear it again. Plus, a lack of good reference pictures.
