So NYAF has come and gone! While NYAF itself isn't such a great con, the masquerade was fantastic and I'm really pleased with the results. We had a really wonderful experience! Lots of great costumes and skits! I'd like to do it again next year. ^_^ Hopefully I can find some good pics of us to post here soon, but our friends weren't able to take many so I don't know if I will. I already went on a lengthy rant about the pros and cons of the con in my LJ, so I'll keep it short here.

Here's the video of out skit. Me as D, ~angidawn24 as Charlotte-esque artbook girl. Thanks for uploading, ~childprey!

Now on to Kuroshitsuji~ I got to work on Soma on Sunday, because I'm insane. I always feel really inspired to work after a con though!

NYAF is this weekend. ~angidawn24 and I are resurrecting the Vampire Hunter D costumes with a few very big changes (she's pretty much totally remade hers, for example). We were going to wear these same costumes at NYAF last year and compete in the masquerade, but a lot of really bad stuff happened Friday night and we had to drop out. So we're back this year, we've worked on the costumes more, we've re-recorded the skit audio and I'm really looking forward to actually going to the con this time. ^_^ I can't wait to see what everyone else has done too!

If anyone else is going, I'll be there Saturday only and wandering around only for a few hours in the early afternoon (before 3pm), but maybe I'll see you!

Also, I forgot, ~childprey, her hubby, and ~angidawn24's sister will be wearing the Org costumes again (so Riku, Saix, Demyx) though we aren't dragging the weapons. We'll also be with an Ed (FMA) and Tamaki (Ouran).

I guess this is where I talk about costume things now!

Well, first, I changed my "big" costume for next year. Originally I was going to do the Final Fantasy IX version of Shiva, because she's awesome, but I am not really interested in being a sexy, blue girl after all. I was immediately sold on this however. Onion Knight! I can't play Dissidia yet, because I don't have a PSP (or the game, haha), but I have been enjoying FF III whenever I get around to using my DS. And it's red and orange. And he's a short blonde kid, which seems to be my new thing??? The reason I chose Shiva was because there was no one else I'd rather be, but now there is. ^__^

I also finally decided which Soma (Kuroshitsuji) to do. I'm going to just give in and to his first manga outfit, because after carefully studying all his outfits, it's my favorite. I think it's the vest...

And these are all my thousand-years-too-early Anime Boston costumes, so don't expect to see them soon. Though I am going fabric shopping tomorrow!

The Alice event I was pimping in my last post was a success. I haven't posted any pics yet, because A) I did not take any and B) I've been too lazy to steal them from my friends. I will put up at least one pic of the White Queenie and I if I stop being so lazy. We had a rather grand string of croquet games, played mostly with children under 10 and with no rules at all. The chess match skit also came out pretty cool. YouTube video here!

Also, I've been slowly putting tons of suede in pretty colors up for sale at my Etsy shop! Hopefully I'll get more plushies up soon. ~ryutarou just helped me cut out Joker. ^^

Cosplay thoughts are on hold for at least two weeks while I regain my sanity after my current job ends, my new job starts and I'm settled in.
