Weekend stuff
Nov. 24th, 2008 10:45 pmWell, I got a ticket for my high school reunion this Saturday. I think I’ll wear one of my costume dresses, the one I made for D’s sister. >_>; Since it looks relatively normal and actually fits me. I went to the mall with my parents yesterday and was reminded how annoying it can be to try to find clothes that fit my hourglass figure. -_-
Didn’t buy any clothes at the mall but I did pick up the latest volume of Fruits Basket and the first season box set of Emma on sale. I saw a little bit at NYAF and wanted to check it out mainly for the Victorian setting. I think I’ll save it for Christmas.
And speaking of anime/manga purchases, I ordered Japanese volume 6 of the Petshop of Horrors sequel. I got the Tokyopop version of volume 3 a while back and I’m annoyed they’re not releasing volume 4 until May. -_-X I have the Japanese volumes already but can’t fully understand everything based on just the pictures.
Haven’t made any new progress on the fairy costume or felt very motivated to work on costume stuff. I think part of the problem is that I’m not really going to another con for months and it’s too cold to go out to take pictures even if I do finish anything the next few months. :-/ (I think I’m dropping the idea of going to NYCC since Western comics don’t really interest me so my next con would be Costume Con in May.)
And so far, I don’t have any group plans to help me get excited for next year. I’m expecting to rewear and/or make new stuff from Petshop of Horrors, Kaleido Star, Twelve Kingdoms, Gankutsuou, and Le Chevalier D’Eon. So, if anyone wants to cosplay any of those series with me, let me know. :-)
I need to get out of this lazy rut and start working on stuff again. Cons are so squished together next year that I really should have most of the work done on my AB and AnimeNext costumes by the time I leave for Costume Con, too.
Started writing Christmas cards although I’ll wait another couple of weeks to send them out. If you wanted one but missed the post, it’s here: http://ladyofthethread.livejournal.com/140894.html
