I waited til all the posts subsided.
That and I have been too lazy/not driven enough/concerned with other promotions at my jobs to edit/properly post images from the con.
It was the 1 year anniversary,
and in spite of all the controversy that quietly looms over the con and its' owners
I was there as my cosplayer friend's minion.
I didn't do a very good job of feeding her
but she was very good at being elusive as to how hungry or not she was.
strong.
This is the first time Lana has been mentioned in the program
and announced at opening ceremonies
we were unfortunately not at opening ceremonies because she wanted to be early for her judging duties for the DC/MARVEL Cosplay Contest
We also missed clsoing ceremonies due to clearing out in the dealer/merch room.
But we really wanted to be at the ceremonies!!!!!
I wanted to make sure she had some images from the anniversary so she could use them as web content.
She claimes she is bad at social media
but I saw her live posts *afterward* when I was going through her Facebook Fan Page feed
I was doing instagram and twitter
it's my jam.
so here are a few images from the con.
at her table
and the only reason I put my name is so people don't try to take credit for it
not that they are super stellar.
It's the principal.
AND
of course this was my first cosplay EVAR
I told Barechatta about it during one of our tea times
so I wanted to show her first
I showed some of my other friends first (Jin and Josh)
and Dinocosplay got to see it later :)
I forget how much I mentioned to Lana
Lana is the first cosplayer I got to really know IRL
I have slept over at her house
on a porch after a photoshoot we did LOL
she has slept over at my house
we feed each other
she is a great friend
and I would do anything in my power for her
I look up to her as a human and a cosplayer
Barrechatta and Dinocosplay are two lovely ladies I really wanted to show my cosplay to as well
I know they make their own cosplays like real cosplayers do
and they also are very knowledgable young ladies
and do a lot of good for the community
so I was very excited to share my cosplay with them"
They are the ones I really wanted to show.
and It meant a lot because
I wanted to prove to myself I could do it
(I crammed 90% of beginning to finish in a week- minus the drafted sleeves which I did 2weeks prior)
meaning
I draped/sewed a dummy copy in muslin
made adjustments
unpinned the draped copy
transferred to paper
cut out and marked all the final pieces
finished the pieces so they would unravel LESS
sewed it all together (including pressing seams yadda yadda yadda)
BAM
got back to the con saturday night after 7pm LOL
so I can show everyone I wanted to share it with before the rave
(Dino caught me in the merch room sunday <3)
But yea
I was very proud
YEA: It could have been better
but considering I sewed two copies
and most time was done prepping all the pieces
and of course threading 8 bobbins
and buying extra thread
and sitting in traffic
and changing two needles I broke lol DX
No major incidents like needles flying
or me bleeding
I call it it quite the success.
