This post is primarily about cosplay. You know you want to read it. >3

Hi guys! Sorry to brag again, but I have no choice I'M FAMOUS AGAIN:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ann-tv/2008-07-13

I'm at 15:45, so quite a while in. OMFG, I sound like such a dork. Not that I'm not a dork, but...you know. I had no idea who was interviewing me or what it was for, so I was like "WTF do I say?"

Also, the head didn't look particularly stunning at that moment (normally I push it up a bit more so it's a better shape, but I sometimes forget to do so), which is unfortunate. :(

Oh well--I'm happy that I've been on not one, but TWO big sites so far with my Boota costume. :D And hopefully you'll at least get some laughs out of my stupid responses to the questions. I'm sure you all wanted to know I was sweaty underneath the costume.

In other cosplay news, here's a picture of my Densuke costume. There are still some definite quirks to work out (especially with the flow of fur on the head), but I hope you guys like it anyway! The head is freaking HUGE. Seriously. It's even more cumbersome than it looks. I'll try and post more pictures once Andy (asianschoolboy.com) uploads the pictures he took of Yasako and I.



If anyone is curious, here's a photoshoot of Nicole's Anti-Spiral Nia costume:

While it's obviously not my costume, I'm proud of how it came out because I drew in and painted most of those lines! 8D It took wayyyy more hours than you'd ever think, but I think the result was worth it. Also, it was hilarious drawing the lines in because we did it at 3 AM or so, and Nicole had to wear the spandex suit while I was drawing the lines on for accuracy. Of course, Nia's lines don't just stop when it comes to, ah, more sensitive areas, so I was drawing on her boobs, butt, dangerously close to her crotch, etc. We laughed through all of it and discussed how it obviously constituted hot lesbian sex. Hey, I'll bet it's a fetish somewhere.

Anyway. Cosplay is amazing. I may go on about it more in future entries. I just can't help it.

Also, I keep forgetting to say so, but thank you for so many people leaving such thoughtful responses on the situation with my friend, and also for congratulating me on being on Shokotan's blog! I love you guys. ♥

Thank youuu! I'm glad you like it. I worked really hard on it. :3

Aww Densuke

And it was cool to actually hear what you sound like. It seems you were very popular at AX. :)

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And I'm surprised at how much coverage my Boota costume has gotten--I only actually wore it for two or three hours of the convention total.

Oh god, Densuke is ADORABLE~*hearts; You are so cute!!! And wow, that's so neat that you're one TWO awesome big sites! Color me jealous!

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you think it turned out adorable. :D

Haha, I'm really surprised how big of a reception the Boota costume got... I only had it on for two or three hours out of the whole weekend. I guess I just got lucky!

I don't even know what Densuke is or what it's from, but SUPER CUTE COSTUME

[trf-chan.livejournal.com]

I second this comment. XD

Thank you, Chelsea! ♥

Awww, thank you!

And he's a dog from Dennou Coil, which is an excellent series. I think, based off your history of what you've liked/haven't liked, that you'd really enjoy this one. It's one of those series that's amazing but really doesn't get much attention at all. http://www.animeacademy.com/finalrevdisplay.php?id=631

[placetohide.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I have absolutely no interest in watching Dennou Coil. I've read summaries of the plot, and it sounds like Lain, which is one of my all-time most hated anime series. I really hate "TRAVELING IN THE INTERWEBS!111" series, sorry. D:

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

It's nothing like Lain (which I don't care for, either), but oh well. It's up to you.

[mei-san.livejournal.com]

wow Densuke!! glad you included the lock too :) Again, how were you able to see (and breath)? I really can't imagine you walking in that costume for 4 days in AX....it must be....suffocating under all that fur??

Like others said, it's nice to hear your voice in that video! My other friend who was cosplaying Hatsune Miku from VOCALOID was in it too! She sang "levan Polkka" and was holding a leek while singing it, just like the one in the youtube videos!

Your friend Nicole's costume is pretty awesome too. Yep, the lines just make the whole costume more...provocative haha. You guys are such good cosplayers! It's fun to read about your AX/Fanime experiences since I've never been to an anime convention myself *sweat drops*. I've been to comic-con since it's in San Diego but I don't remember much anime-related stuff there.

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And the costume is actually pretty accurate, with a red collar that the lock is attached to and everything. It's a bit difficult to see out of because of the placement of the eyes (which are higher up and farther apart than my eyes, obviously). I can breathe just fine in it, though, as the head is pretty roomy. I only wore it for a few hours, actually, because it gets wayyyy too hot otherwise.

Oooh, that was your friend? She did an amazing job! I was really impressed by her costume and rendition of Ievan Polkka! :D

I'll tell her you like her costume as well. :) We both worked super-hard on it. And I'm glad you like to hear about my convention adventures, though I don't write as much about them as I should because of my lazy streak.

You should come to Anime Expo or Fanime sometime! You'd love them. :D
