2009 Cosplay Review
Dec. 7th, 2009 07:49 pmLast call for holiday cards! I’m in the process of writing them now and hope to get them in the mail around the 10th so if you still want one, check this entry: http://ladyofthethread.livejournal.com/165049.html
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was one of the winners for the Le Chevalier D’eon contest at ACP. :-) Thanks if you voted for me! I’d entered mainly to get a bit more exposure for the costume and I didn’t expect to do that well since Ekaterina looks rather plain on the outside. I actually voted for someone else! ^_^;
And since I haven’t had much of interest to post lately, I guess I’ll do the cosplay year in review thing now. 2009 was rather unusual for me in terms of cosplay.
-This year included my first attempts at corsetmaking, panniers, hoopskirts, and hatmaking.
-I had a sewing meltdown and had fitting issues on 3 or 4 garments in a row. o_O; I can’t remember any other time when I’d had so many problems with fitting stuff!
-After years of wanting to check it out, I was finally able to go to my first Costume Con! ^_^
-Starting with Costume Con, I had 3 cons within a month and a half. o_o; I usually only make it to about 4 a year and 3 of the ones I wanted to attend just happened to be squished together this year so I wasn’t used to that kind of pace at all.
-I ran my first panels this year on the topic of seam finishes. I’m not sure if I’m continuing next year though because I only got about a dozen people at AB and half a dozen at AnimeNext.
-I got to be one of the kings for cosplay chess at AB this year! :-D
-I cosplayed while upstate on vacation! XD
-Except for AB, I ended up sewing in my hotel room or the night before every con this year. This was partly due to my sewing meltdown and the spring cons being so close together. I’d never had to sew in a hotel room before this year and hope I don’t have to do it again in the future! X_X
- I entered 3 masquerades this year. o_O; I usually only do 1 masquerade per year and didn’t even do any last year. I normally prefer hall contests but ended up not doing any this year so things were kind of backwards.
-I actually made a new costume for Halloween which I’ve never bothered to do since I started cosplaying.
