Cosplay plans
Apr. 1st, 2008 07:52 pmOkay, now that I’m somewhat caught up with paperwork and other stuff after AB, I guess I can post a bit about cosplay plans for the rest of the year. :-) Will try to get back to commenting a bit, too.
Anything Goes photoshoot: Will see if I can make it. Not sure what I’d wear though.
NYCC: Planning to skip it this year. I’m mainly interested in the anime/manga things and there’s NYAF for that now. Plus, it’s hard to run into friends in the huge crowds.
Sakura Matsuri: Will definitely try to make it after missing it with a cold last year. Not sure what I’ll wear for this either.
AnimeNext: Going as usual. Pre-registered last night and have a hotel room booked. ^_^
Otakon: I have hotel space for this but I’m feeling a bit blah about it now since it’s expensive and I didn’t actually like the con and location itself that much when I went a couple of years ago. :-/ My main reasons to go would be to see friends from farther away that I might not see at the cons around here and possibly joining a couple of groups, Gankutsuou with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
genkitozuku and her friends and Le Chevalier D’eon with the_masayume. Will see how I feel closer to August.
NYAF: Will go since it’s local. Seems the dates have been pushed back a couple of weeks which I hope won’t be a problem because it’s now the weekend before my birthday and my parents usually like to have a dinner party for that on a weekend.
Costume-Con 2009: I know that this is still way off but I’d like to go since it’s going to be in Maryland next year and finally within reasonable distance for me. (I checked and it hasn’t even been near the northeast since Connecticut in 2000, which was a few years before I started cosplaying.)
As for costumes, I really need to do something non-bulky after the last couple of space-eating costumes. ^_^; I had been planning to do Valentine’s final episode dress from Gankutsuou for AnimeNext and bought a wig to style for her several months back. But after the group at AB, I’m kind of tempted to do another D. ^_^; Becausekiwi_lady and heartxofxlilith wanted to do PSOH with me at Next and I’m a bit worried the 19th Century outfit might be a bit warm for June with the velvet and layers. I now have the urge to make the tailcoat outfit from the chapter with Ten-Chan because I have a few yards of brocade that I think it would look really elegant in. (even if it’s Western style brocade rather than Chinese. ^_^;;) Plus, I haven’t done a tailcoat yet.
novaraven also surprised me at AB with news that she’s going to try to come to AnimeNext and was asking me about possibly doing something Yu-Gi-Oh again to go with her Pegasus. Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve watched any episodes. ^_^; I still have the pieces somewhere but my Kaiba costume has been long retired and it’d probably look a bit silly for me to do any of the guys when I’m going to have my nails for D. My thoughts for girls were Mai or Vivian Wong (so I can poke fun at what a silly fangirl she is :-P). I sort of wanted to do Wingweaver, the six-winged fairy, way back but that would just turn into another monster of a costume that I’d have packing issues with even if I could figure out the wings. ^_^; And I’d want something I can put together relatively quickly if I do this.
Also planned are some costume repairs/improvements. I’d also like to wear my nyosen uniform from The Twelve Kingdoms again since it hasn’t been to a con for a year and a half. I need to remake the obi first though since the old one is a bit beat up and falls down due to the fact that I’ve lost weight. Not sure when I’ll wear Sarah again although I need to tweak my makeup for her and buy boots to replace the shoes before I do. I’m considering redoing my strands of beads for 19th Century D with smaller ones, too. The ones I have now looked great and showed well for studio photos but they tend to make the costume bunch up a lot when walking around a con since they’re so heavy.
And anyone want to help with a skit for AnimeNext? It’ll be great! It’ll involve singing and dancing and a frilly cake! :-D ( Read more... )
