1. Final Fantasy Dissidia for PSP. I literally played this for an hour or so and put it back in it's case. Comes with all it's original documentation and box! [link]
Bid starts at $19.95. (link goes to ebay)

2. Two pairs of Plano (no power) Twilight lenses/Amber Colormax lenses. [link] I needed these for an Alto cosplay, but since I'm not doing him anymore, I don't need them. I also thought the Twilight lenses were different from the Amber Colormax's, but they're EXACTLY the same lenses. I bought the twilight's from Vampfangs.com (who are now sold out of them) and the Amber ones from Cosplaylab.com, they're originally $50, I'm selling them for $35 a pair plus S/H. The packaging has never been opened, and the glass vials are sealed. Contact me through here/PM if you're interested in them~.

If you guys know anyone who would be interested in these, I would be so grateful if you could notify them~ :3

Thanks <3


________________________________________ _____________
So, through a series of unfortunate events (please excuse the pun), I never made it INSIDE the con center at NYAF. At all. XD Sadly that means no new Kuroshitsuji photos either :/ We'll make up for it at Anime USA, though~. To read the story, go here: [link]

If you haven't friended me, you can't read it, so if you would like to read it, send me a friend request and I'll add you if I know you decently enough~

Also, I have an alternate youtube account now, WorldBeginsWithYou. So far there's only one video up, that's Sebastian/Ciel, but I had to take the link down, so go search for it if you want to see the video~
________________________________________ ______________

I desperately need money to continue going to cons and cosplaying, so if you all could spread the word, I would greatly appreciate it. ^^ Every little bit helps!

All the items listed below are also still for sale, so make an offer, no matter how small and we can work something out. ^^

Thanks for looking!


________________________________________ _______________

This is the post where I list everything that I've been putting off to sell for a very long time. ^^

The way is works is that all prices are open, so you can PM me with the links of the items that you want and offer a price for them, excluding shipping. Then I'll list the price offered next to the item in this journal, and wait for 3 days. If I don't get a better price offered from someone else, the item's yours, and I'll calculate shipping for you. ^^

You can pay via Paypal, and either have me ship the items to you, or pick them up from me in person at a con or otherwise.

I still need to take pictures of more items, so I'll post more items in the next few days. (New Items have (NEW) tags on them)

Wigs/Headwear:

Brand new black Wisp(Cosworx): Pic 1/ Pic 2/ Pic 3 SOLD

Used Sasuke wig(This has a lot of product in it, and will probably need to be hair sprayed a bit more to make the back stand up correctly): PIc 1/Pic 2

Lighty used Pink Bob wig/Shuichi wig(Cosworx): Pic 1/Pic 2

Brand new Cyperous wig caps(assorted colors, plus 2 black ones not pictured): Pic 1

Red cat ears hat: <... ]]> ~Inuashley http://Inuashley.deviantart.com/journal/21834123/ http://Inuashley.deviantart.com/journal/21834123/ Fri, 05 Dec 2008 15:56:53 PST
So, same rules as before:

Shipping from Cyperous is $30, no matter how many wigs you purchase. So the way this is going to work is that if you are interested in a wig, please send me a note or an email with "Cyperous wig order" as the subject, that includes a link to the page(s) with the wig(s) that you want. I will then need the money for JUST the wig cost sent via paypal.

After all the wigs are purchased this THURSDAY, at 7pm PST, I will contact you with the shipping cost amount that you will need to pay BEFORE I ship out the wig to you. This cost will be $30 divided by the number of people in the order, plus a $5 shipping to you, per wig(unless you want to pick it up at a con from me), and a small paypal transaction and yen to dollar conversion fee that's divided by the number of people in the order.

We currently have 1 person in the order. You can order as many wigs as you want, and the shipping cost will still be the same.

In my prior experience, it takes about 3-4 business days for them to ship to me. Whoever needs their wigs shipped to them will be shipped Priority mail from me here in CA. So that's another 1-3 days.

If you have any questions, please either comment or note me. Thanks!

~Ashley

So, it's gonna be the same as last time, here's the info again:

Shipping from Cyperous is $30, no matter how many wigs you purchase.

Pictures are here:

Not many this time around, but some of them are really amusing; including Axel the keybox master, a cake that wouldn't fall off a plate, and an Obama cosplayer. xD

I don't really ever talk about what are my upcoming cosplays on dA, so here's a little progress report on how my new cosplays are doing:

*Second arc Kanda(D.Gray-man): costume/wig is pretty much done, with the exception of some minor changes, still have to receive the swords. Will be worn at Anime LA.

*Lelouch - Schoolboy version(Code Geass): Still have to order literally everything including the wig(which then needs to be styled), Geass contact, regular purple contacts, and a prop gun. Will be worn at Anime LA.

*Third Arc Kanda(D.Gray-man): Only the wig's done. xD; Will be worn at Katsucon.

Other planned costumes include: Usami(Usagi-san) from Junjou Romantica, Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji, and possibly redoing parts of Shuichi for a group with my friends. I was planning on doing Death the Kid from Soul Eater, but that would be like the 4th black haired, black suit/coat wearing character I'll be doing in a row. XDD

Here's the fun part: I promised myself I'd never ask this, but I'm quite curious, is there anyone that you guys could see me cosplay or want me to cosplay as?

________________________________________________

Cyperous Group Order:

I am doing a group order from the Japanese wig store, Cyperous: [link]

The reason for this is that shipping from there is $30, no matter how many wigs you purchase. So the way this is going to work is that if you are interested in a wig, please send me a note or an email with "Cyperous wig order" as the subject, that includes a link to the page with the wig that you want. I will then need the money for JUST the wig cost sent via paypal.

After all the wigs are purchased this Wednesday, at 4pm PST, I will contact you with the shipping cost amount that you will need to pay BEFORE I ship out the wig to you. This cost will be $30 divided by the number of people in the order, plus a $5 shipping to you(unless you want to pick it up at a con from me), and a small paypal transaction and yen to dollar conversion fee that's divided by the number of people in the order.

We currently have 4 people in the order. You can order as many wigs as you want, and the shipping cost will still be the same.

In my prior experience, it takes about 3-4 business days for them to ship to me. Whoever needs their wigs shipped to them will be shipped Priority mail from me here in CA. So that's another 1-3 days.

_______________________________________________
Well, I'm all packed and ready to go for Anime USA tomorrow. I hope to come back with some great pictures and video footage.(My 2007/08 convention video is LONG overdue). Is there anyone else going that I didn't already know of? xD

Also will be updating with links to uploaded photo galleries, like Mikomicon, and some pictures from my birthday back in JULY. XDD;

I'm so excited to see everyone at AUSA!

~Ashley

________________________________________________

So, time for the journal entry about this. ^^ I'm doing it just like last year, since it worked out so well.
Here are the full details:

Event: Mickey's Trick or Treat Party
Date: Friday, October 31
Time(for just the special event): 7:30pm-11:30pm
Place: California Adventure(CAA)

TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT. If you haven't gotten your ticket and still want to go, note me since I have an extra ticket(now sold), plus I can tell you where to find more tickets.

Now, you have two choices for the day, you can either just buy the $37 ticket(includes parking) and meet us at the main entrance plaza at 7p.m., or, you can buy a separate Disneyland park ticket($66), and meet us at the front of the Disneyland castle at 12pm. If you can only get there at 3pm, for example, you can call me and I'll let you know where the group is. ^^ Annual passholders of any kind: Friday is NOT a blackout date, so you can use your pass to get in for normal hours, but you still need the $37 ticket to get into the special event at CAA.

Ticketing: You can find all the types of tickets online here: [link]
Last year I didn't stress this enough, so some people didn't get ahold of tickets in time, but the special event tickets(especially for the date that we are going) sell out EXTREMELY FAST. I'd say within about a month or a month and a half at the latest. What happens is that people buy extras and sell them on ebay at a ridiculously high price. Also, you cannot buy special event tickets at the park, or online the day of the event, even if somehow they still have them available.

Costumes:
-For the special event at CAA: Costumes are allowed, including wigs, etc. No props whatsoever. Also nothing that's bulky like huge wings or something of that nature. You wouldn't be able to go on the rides anyways, so what's the point? XD

-At Disneyland(during the event or otherwise) and CAA not during the event: Costumes are not allowed, but you can go in with your wig and a casual outfit(we did it last year), or something that is a costume(EX: KH2 Riku), but doesn't look like one. Also something that we learned from last year, they won't let you in with any sort of face paint/makeup that isn't on your eyes. if you need to apply something like Axel tattoos or fake facial hair, do it once you've gotten in the park or at the special event. Also, no chains whatsoever.

RSVP: Please confirm if you're going and what you're going as either here, or note me. ^^ I'll be updating the journal periodically with the list of people going. You can also note me for my phone# if you need it to find me there.

In case you're interested, there's a few pics from last year's event here: [link]

Well, I think I covered it all. xD Hope to see you guys there!

Mini Con-Report:

I'm not really in the mood to give a huge con report, as the excitement of going to Fanime has long passed, but I'll give a list of highlights:

*It was great going out to dinner on Thursday night with my friends Candice(Saix), Tanya(Goofy) and Justin(Sora). ^^ We took lots of silly pics that unfortunately got lost and deleted in the uploading process. D:

*Getting 4th place in the karaoke contest. I didn't even make the finals last year, and I wasn't even planning on going since my voice decided to crap out on me right before the prelims, but I'm glad I did it. ^^

*Seeing the An Cafe concert; they were 10 times better live, and it was totally amazing.

*Getting two out of only 230(so the staff said?) An Cafe autograph tickets, and having Miku tell me(in Japanese xD) that my cosplay(Riku) was really awesome, and Kanon said I had a cool keyblade in English xD I was kind of surprised when he didn't say it in Japanese. I totally had a major fangirl moment over An Cafe. xD I had them sign the inside of my KH2 Riku vest/jacket and a Kanon poster. xD

*Going to Johnny Rockets a total of THREE times when I was there. xDD (And someone not knowing what Johnny Rockets is, you know who you are. lol)

*Seeing both a bunch of people I haven't seen in awhile, my good friends, and meeting some new people like *KuchikixRukia, ~Onyx-chan. *Ryoko-and-Yami, *Seraphim-Sephiroth, ~xSeyx(talking way too fast while walking opposite ways down a hallway xDD), ~maggifan, ~mlarad, ~Admantius, *akewataru, ~Spwinkles, ~Phantom-Shadow, ~KazeNeko-chan, ~digikoomi, *ebil-jenna(COFFEE!), Ed, Ms Narusegawa, Lily(and all your friends whose names I can't recall atm ), Dakota, Crystallike(your Riku was great!), Epiic, Katie, and a couple other people who I know I'm forgetting. ;

I had a great time and I can't wait to see everyone(including those who couldn't make it to Fanime) at Anime Expo!

I don't know what else they can teach me for another 4 lessons other than driving on the freeway, since I'm already very proficient in street driving, and I've only had one lesson and a month of driving every day. xD Also had a ton of fun at Stefani's 17th b-day on Saturday, we freaked ourselves out playing Fatal Frame 2, and then took pics. xD Those will be uploaded later.

I got another roommate for Fanime, but the other one dropped out, so I still need one more person(For a total of 4 people in the room). We're in the Marriott attached to the con center, and 5 nights(thursday-monday nights) is only $100. Please contact me ASAP if you're interested. Thanks. ^_^

Edit: The book has been ordered~! Thanks so much to everyone who submitted corrections and pictures on both here and my LJ. ^^ I'll be bringing the book to Fanime and AX for sure, for those who want to see it. ^^

I'm currently making a book full of my photography and cosplay pictures so that I can get it printed to bring it to cons so that I can show it as an example of my work. ^^ All cosplayers who appear in it will have their screenname listed next to the picture that they're in, for credit purposes, and if I'm the one in the picture, the photographer will be noted. Just out of courtesy, I'll list the cosplayers names here, so that if you do not want your picture in this book, I can take it out. Also, if you'd like your name to appear differently than what I've listed, please tell me. Likewise, if you're not on the list and you'd like to be in it, if I've taken a picture of you with my new camera(conventions Mikomicon 2007 and on), comment or note me with a link to it and I'll try to get you in there. ^^

Cosplayers in the book are as follows in no particular order: Phantom-Shadow, Seraphim-Sephiroth, KazeNeko-chan, Aya-Frost, Fullmetal-Tora, Admantius, KuchikixRukia, Yami, Ririka, Twilight-chan, CosplayerNyoko, electro650, ZiPPY, RaMMY, Ray-chan, Kuuhaku, Chuwei, Zalora, KikyouLuver, Vikki, Cloaked Schemer, Maguma and Sonsko.

---------------------------------------------------------
Would anyone be interested in a Demyx wig that's never been worn that looks exactly like the last one I posted in my gallery? If so, how much would you be willing to pay for it? I'll probably post it up on ebay or the cosplay .com marketplace if no one here wants it. ^^

---------------------------------------------------------
For Fanime, I'm looking for another roommate(there's currently 2 others besides myself). I have to know you, and you have to be female. XD The price is $100 for 5 nights(Thursday-Monday nights). It's less if you only need a room for 3 or 4 days.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to get my KH AMV done by Fanime, as I have a lot of wig commissions and other commitments that won't allow me to finish it. Besides, I only have about :30 out of 2:30 of it done. Hopefully I'll submit it to AUSA or PMX or some small con like that depending when I actually finish it. I'll be doing a DGM AMV after that, most likely.

I've opened up photoshoots for Fanime for the following days/times:
Friday: 12p.m-1p.m., 1:30p.m.-2p.m., and 3p.m.- 5p.m.
Sunday: 11a.m. - 3p.m. and 5p.m.-6p.m.
Monday: 12p.m.-2p.m., and 3p.m.-6p.m.

Rate is $10 per person per 30 minutes. ^^

Now onto non-cosplay stuff xD [/gasp]
I had my first driving lesson on Tuesday, which was actually very fun xD The instructor wasn't mean at all, like I've heard from some of my friends. After the lesson, I drove my mom over to the Pontiac dealership and sat in a Solstice, which is the car I'm hopefully getting when I get my license in October. She says maybe I can test drive it this weekend xD

I also visited Moorpark college's counselor again on Monday, to figure out what courses I have to take starting next Spring. The advantage of being so young is paying off now, because I can spread out the courses over 3 years without taking classes in the summer, and graduate with a degree in Business and still be younger than everyone else. xD I'm planning on transferring to UCLA after I'm done at Moorpark.

I'm also planning another gathering for the summer, instead of the Ontario Mills mall meet up and Disneyland like last year, I have the idea of going to a waterpark, namely Hurricane Harbor. People liked this idea, so I'm going with it. xD I'll be posting up details sometime in June. Also organizing another group for cosplay at Disneyland during Halloween, but details for that won't come until July either. Just giving you guys a heads up, start saving your money. XD

I can't wait to see you all at Fanime!

ONOMINOMINOM!. Anyone who was part of the "KH rant" knows what I'm talking about. XD That really needs to be posted. The freezing cold was not fun, but our team winning the karaoke contest and winning Best of Show in the masquerade made it totally worth it to be outside.

I know this is late notice, but I totally forgot to put it up earlier I'll be doing private photoshoots at these rates: $10 + $5 for each extra person, around 40-50 shots. I'll either take payment through paypal in advance, or cash at con. They'll be put up in a separate gallery on my cosplay.com. Equipment used: Canon Digital Rebel Xti with a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens. As a reference, these were taken with that camera(And so were my Mikomicon pics): [link]
These are the times that I'm available for photoshoots:

Friday: 5:30p.m.-8p.m.(I can take night shots).
Saturday: 2:30p.m.-5p.m.
Sunday:1p.m. - 6p.m.

If you want a photoshoot, you can either find me at con at the above hours, or message me on one of my sites and we can lock a specific time. ^_^

I can't wait to see everyone at Ani-magic!

1. post these rules
2. each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3. tags should write a journal of these facts
4. at the end of the post 4 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. go to their page and leave a comment telling them that they're tagged.

So here are my really lame random facts:

1)I actually hate sewing and prop-making(I only do it for the love of cosplay).

2)I live for comments on my cosplay. xD

3)I love going to raves and dancing but I'm really shy when I'm dancing in public

4)Contrary to popular belief, I'm not legal >.>;

5)It makes me depressed when I can't get as flat as I want when I'm crossplaying. XD

6)I get stage fright before a performance, but when I'm on stage, I'm fine.

7)I love it when people *rarely* confuse me for the opposite gender. It makes me feel like "mission accomplished" XD

8)The shirt I just bought for cosplaying Soubi from Loveless was found in the little boys section. lol Not really about me, but I thought it was semi-interesting.

Yeah, so I tag... No one lol

In other news, Ani-magic's in two weeks, and I just got new boots for Axel; I still have to modify them to make them super accurate. Tomorrow I have to style KazeNeko's Roxas wig so that she can be my Roxas for AM. ^^ We also still have to record our group's KH skit, so I'll have quite a lot on my hands in the next few days. Until next time,

The con itself wasn't so great, but hanging out with my friends definitely made it awesome. ^^
I got there pretty late on Friday because I got my new camera that day, so I only got to see the AMV contest and then take some pictures later. Saturday was, as usual, the best day. I met up with and in Kingdom Hearts cosplay and proceeded to have our own KH gathering since hardly anyone else except for a few other Sora's were in KH cosplay. I then got this crazy idea to do a KH skit in the masquerade, so we made up a skit in 30 minutes, 3 hours before the Masquerade. lol I think we pulled it off okay, we didn't make any glaring mistakes or anything. I have it recorded, along with cosplay.com, so I'll post a link soon. ^^ We named it, "The Disneyland that never was." XD The best part of the masquerade was when we were backstage lined up to get on stage and we were kinda nervous so we started doing weird things like singing the Little Mermaid songs to words of Kingdom Hearts/The organization, and we kept accidently breaking stuff off of our cosplay and laughing at it. ; Anyway, we went to the rave after that, which was kinda fun, although semi-hard while in Org. XII cosplay. Sunday was mostly filled with taking pictures, we really didn't do much of anything, although right before we had to leave, there was this drawing contest, and 3 people had to draw me in 1 minute. The results were hilarious. XD
Anyway, I have all my pictures up.

So if you need a styled wig, please come to me. ^^ I can get them out really fast, since I'm not taking a lot of orders.

In other news, I'll post and update a list of people going to the Halloween cosplay trip to Disneyland soon.

My next con is Mikomicon, who else is going? ^^

EDIT: Today through this weekend(9/5-9/9), Cosworx is having a big sale, so if you want a wig from me, chances are that you'll get a discount because of the sale. ^^

People going have two choices, either to go to the CA Adventure Event(Mickey's Halloween Treat) which is from 6:30p.m.-10:30p.m. and that costs a separate ticket price of $29 which includes free parking, OR to go to both that AND Disneyland from 1p.m.-6:30p.m. which is a separate ticket price of $63. Note that even if you have an annual pass, you still have to buy the special $29 event ticket for CA adventure.

Also, note that the CA Adventure event is the only one that explicitly allows costumes. People who are going to Disneyland earlier that day with my group, is at your own risk of non-admittance, however, Organization coats and normal looking costumes(EX: If you can buy a similar item of clothing at a store, it is ok) are cleared along with wigs. However, be descreet about it and don't make a scene while entering the park.
No props of any kind are allowed.

Advance tickets for the CA adventure event can be purchased here: [link] or can be purchased over the phone at this number714)781-4400. I highly recommend to purchase a ticket ASAP because they sell out very quickly.

If you are definitely going, message me with your cell number, which events you are going to, and whether or not you have bought your ticket yet, as I am trying to keep the status of everyone going so that no one has ticket issues .^_^


Thanks, and I hope to see many of you there!

So, my trip started last Saturday on my one and a half hour sleep. XD I woke up at 3:30am and then got down to LAX for my 8:30 flight to Orlando. We got there with no delay(complete difference from the way back, trust me), and proceeded to check in at Disney's Contemporary Resort, which is connected by monorail to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. We luckily ended up getting a suite with a king bed and a sofa bed for the price of a double double room. ^^ We didn't have a park ticket that day, nor did we want to venture out of the resort area for food, so we ate at the hotel steakhouse. Only problem was that the wait was 2 hours, and we hadn't eaten since breakfast that morning. Anyway, once in, I proceeded to take a picture of my own impersonation of the "Xiggy Face" at AX's cafe XD. [link]

Onwards to Day 2~

We(me, dad and mom) went to Disney's Blizzard Beach water park and rode the ski lift
up to the family raft ride. We also rode the toboggan slides, tube slides and went in the wave pool, which sucked ass. We avoided Summet Plummet, which is the tallest body speed slide in America. No thank you. I have no death wishes.

[link]

Then we went to Epcot and realized that we were too late to get fastpasses for Test Track, and then ate at the suckiest Japanese restaurant ever which had crummy American immitations of Teriaki chicken, tempura, and sushi. Only the rice tasted normal. >.< We saw the light/fireworks show, made fun of the cheesy music, and then my dad went back to the hotel.

[link]

Me and my mom went to the Magic Kingdom park. That was where "Disney World is better" was not the case. We rode Space Mountain, and it sucked in comparison to Disneyland's same revamped ride. It lacked music, side by side seats, and pictures of the riders. We then went to the arcade, only to discover that their version of "Dance Dance Revolution" was to Disney songs set to a techno beat at a level no higher than 8. WHAT THE HELL?! I played it anyway. >.>;

Day 3 ~

We went to Animal Kingdom, got fastpasses for Expedition Everest, their new roller coaster that goes forwards and backwards. We rode that(not without me being nervous at first XD). I ended up going on it 4 more times after that throughtout the week. We also rode Dinosaur, which sucked, and then left because it was raining. We had a joke going on the whole week, because I was carrying an umbrella in my purse the whole time because the forcasts said that there were going to be heavy rains and thunderstorms. My mom didn't know Florida weather, so she kept insisting that I leave my umbrella back in the room. She was like "Leave the stupid umbrella, it's the middle of JULY." Then when it started raining, I was like "Who's got the stupid umbrella now?" XDDD

We headed to Epcot, got fastpasses for Epcot, rode that, and then took pics of me pretending to drive the awesome cars they have parked in the display room next to Test Track. lol
[link]

Me and my dad started calling Epcot "Efcot" XDD


Day 4~

Mom wasn't feeling too well, so me and my dad headed to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. Everthing except the uphill/downhill water coaster and the wave pool, which sends a 10-foot surfable wave towards you every minute or so, sucked. So we went back to Blizzard Beach to finish out the day.

Day 5 ~
We went to Animal Kingdom and went on a Kilimanjaro Safari. It was lots of fun, and I saw tons of animals up-close, and got a glimpse of a lion. I got some really cool pics from that. I saw these kids who looked like child versions of Sakura, Naruto and Demyx. The girl had her hair dyed pink, and the Demyx look alike had a kid mullet. XD I really wanted to take a picture, but that would have been weird. "Excuse me sir, but can I take a picture of your son?" is just not going to fly. XD Later, when we went back to the hotel, I did something only a true Otaku would do, I whipped out my portable DVD player and
went to a semi-uncrowded hallway where security wouldn't stop me, and my mom videotaped me doing the Hare Hare Yuka... ]]> ~Inuashley http://Inuashley.deviantart.com/journal/13611401/ http://Inuashley.deviantart.com/journal/13611401/ Wed, 04 Jul 2007 18:48:57 PDT [link]

Anyway, here are my shout-outs taken straight from cosplay.com.

Ok, let's see if I can remember all the shout-outs...XD Ok, in semi-order by date:

Sey and her friends for kidnapping me up to her room on Day 0 and showing me how she did her super awesome Axel wig ^^

JRyoga and Captain Gundam for tracking me down while in the reg line so I could cut the line with you guys XD Also for going to Chile's, that was fun, and thanks for the pics you took of me with my camera ^^

Maguma for running Cosplay Chess; it was really fun although I was dying in my coat ;

Everyone in the Organization 13 photoshoot and Nobodies_Inc for putting together the awesome photoshoot, even if a couple people were missing.

Keropan for being my Naruto and taking a ton of pics over at the lagoon ^_^ ...and putting up with my strange pose ideas XD

The Naruto gathering volunteers for finally pulling it off. Our hard work paid off!

Everyone at the Naruto dinner for just being plain awesome ^^

The Roxas and Axel who jumped into the lagoon. 'Nuff said.

And a big one:

Admantius, Seraphim-Sephiroth, SinisterSeguchi, and YukiEiri for hanging out in the dealer's hall(and our mini-rave XD), plus eating at the cafe. Stuffing the bread through the glass wall for Scooby Doo just takes the cake. Xiggy's expressions took a close second place though. :3

Fireshark for recording most of the halftime show of the masquerade when my arm was about to fall off ^_^

Fullmetal Tora and Frost Aya for hanging out at Islands on Monday, and Tora for helping organize the Naruto dinner ^^

My pictures from AX are going up on my cosplay.com gallery here [link] so keep an eye out for 'em ^_^ See you at the next convention!

After months of people telling me to get a deviantart account, I have finally gotten one! Oh joy, one more site I have to update stuff on XD I'm no artist, but I am a cosplayer and have been cosplaying since AX 2004. So everything you see on my page will most likely be cosplay ^_^;

Anyway, I got back from Fanime last weekend, so I feel like I need to write a mini con report, so here it is:

To sum it up, my first Fanime was awesome. ^^ I drove 7 hours up to San Jose from Westlake Village on Thursday morning, and ended up leaving Monday afternoon. The highlights of the con for me were:

*Meeting up with old friends/new friends who I'd only seen in pics before the con
*The Kingdom Hearts gathering/after gathering
*My Riku/Sora photoshoot, even though Akewataru thinks it was a disaster(YOUR FACE IS NOT UGLY), I think it turned out quite nicely.
*The great response to my new Warrior Paine cosplay(I thought it was going to fail XD)
*Dancing with the rest of Organization 13 to Cottoneye Joe late at night in the con. center hallway.
*The good masquerade skits(I absolutely LOVED the lighting they had at the center)

...and I know i'm missing something really important, but I can't think of it right now ;

Anyway, I know my friends and I had a blast, and I'll probably attend Fanime next year as well.
My con photos(as well as my cosplay.com info) can be found here:

Please comment if I met/saw you at Fanime~ ^_^

Oh, and once I get some free time(if ever XD), I'll try to make my page look nice...somehow.
