ALA, The Great Trek!

Thu Nov 19, 2009, 12:17 AM
  • Mood: Affection
  • Listening to: She walks in Beauty
  • Watching: V
  • Eating: wheat thins
  • Drinking: Pink lemonade
lol, or something like that...

Anyway! The point is, I am officially going to ALA! I have also begun construction on two new costumes. Both of which are made from fabric I already had, yay! ehehe...
I'm making a dress from the Takarazuka rendition of The german musical Elisabeth. Which is based on the life of Elisabeth, the empress of hungrey. I am in LOVE with this show! seriosly. But really , the point is, in that show Elisabeth wears this beautiful white dress that I am in love with! The dress is based on a painting done of the empress from 1860, in a dress made by MR. worth, the world renowned dress maker. Already, this dress has managed to eat 47 yards of fabric..eek!
The second dress is...A new version of Yuuko! Suprise! lol. It's a dress tha thas it's roots in 1890's victorian clothing. And guess what...it too is white! So really, ALA is going to be a con of white. I have pulled 72 yards of fabric for this dresss, most of which I plan to use, but I will probablly still have some left. I'll keep a tally of the final count, as always!
In addition to that, I will be bringing my Marianne costume, for some awesome code geass pictures!
So yeah, that's my costume plans for ALA! I would like to try and get pictures of Elisabeth and Yuuko, but I don't have anything planned yet. I don't want another Anime Oasis to happen! I didn't get pictures of Rozalin until seven months later!


~*Costume Progress*~

Elisabeth White Dress: Dress is cut out! I will begin sewing it in the next few days. I'm also trying to figure out the designs that are going to be in the dress. I also have the extensions for my wig ordered.

1890's Yuuko: I have the fabric out, and I have planned how i'm going to construct it...but that's about it! I plan to cut that dress out as soon as I post this. I'm still working out what sort of understucture I want in there (Bustling, petticoats, and such).


Well, that's about it! Tata till next time!

I adore your Yuuko cosplay with a passion, you have no idea. I'm aiming to do an elaborate costume also in the future as you know from my comment on your deviation.

All I can say is your work is amazing and it inspires me to do my best. ^^ :rose:

You asked me which meant more to me, you or my life, I said my life and you walked away. But what you didn't realize is that you are my life.

Yeah, I heard >.< Sorry you weren't feeling well and glad you could make it to the con. I was actually looking through Anime Banzai pictures and I found it XD It was burried deep in all the pictures.

It's alright, I should have expected it. I've been sick at every con i've gone to this season....lol.
The first to days I knew I needed to come because I was judging cosplay chess and the masquerade. But day three I was there dressed as myself and managed to fit in Three photoshoots. actually, I'm sad I didn't see you and your seabastian again, I would have liked to shoot those costumes!

lol, yeah...maybe it's best if that stays buired....lol!

Awww, sad!!! D: :hug:
Oh wow! That's a lot of photoshoots! Aww, I'm sorry >.< Well, I'll be Ciel again on Wednesday but I don't think Sebastian will be dressed up...Hopefully we'll wear the same cosplays again next year to Anime Banzai ^^ I'm also hoping we can cosplay as Ciel and Sebastian at next year's Anime Expo. *crosses fingers*
Aww, don't say that! D:

Well, beyond mostly getting over being sick. I launched into a series of deep cleaning sprints at my house. I cleaned out the cupboards, top of the fridge, and the inside of fridge and freezer. James it working on the game areas and such. Other then that...I'm working on a few personal sewing projects. Just burning through the fabric stash a little. (THough let's be honest, one set of pajamas and a dress is not really making a dent in my stash! lol.) I think that's about it. What about you?

Wow well cleaning will help you with getting better/also help you from getting sick in the future. Spring cleaning early is always good :) Haha fun! Jeez your like a sewing machine yourself ;) Anyways that's awesome, don't overwork yourself though!

Uhm not much really, I'm getting over a cold myself. Oh! I don't think I told you, but my mom left with my little sister. So I have to stay with my dad now, because he is kind of emotionally unstable. But he is getting better :)

I also got a gazelle(excerise thing) that is a full body workout machine. So now I can get in shape! Hopefully I will be in shape by the beginning of next year, so I can start making my cosplay outfits for AX and Banzai!

That's it. I'm still looking for a job, oh and I'm twenty one now :) YAY. Haha yup, that's it. :D
