A Few Changes... But All For the Better, I Think.

So, It's definitely been a while. And a lot of things have changed.

You'll notice I haven't posted any new progress on Yuuko. That's because after trying to juggle school, and work, and various other activities that keep me busy, I simply don't have the money and the time to make it. >_< This is something I was not expecting, seeing as I took 19 hours last semester and did just fine), and I have to have my priorities in order. School first, then work (when it comes around), then WW, then cosplay.

Speaking of WW, as of last Tuesday, I have officially lost 32.4 lbs. since September. I was looking at pictures this past weekend, and I was floored at how much my body has changed. It's always encouraging to see the results of what you've been working so hard for so long. I'm hoping to hit 40 lbs by MTAC. I definitely think it's doable.

Back to cosplay, tho...

Tony, mah luv, has introduced me to a new anime that I cannot get over: Code Geass. I know, some of you are probably like, "What, you're just now jumping on the bandwagon?" But I'm really bad with keeping up with shows, so it's hard for me to remember to watch it. Now that the series is coming out on DVD, Tony's been buying them and we've been watching them.

I absolutely love the series - and that's saying a lot for me, considering that shounen is not really my thing. I've tried Bleach and Naruto, and while I like the characters, the plot always left me bored. I can't stand 4 episodes for one fight. Code Geass, though, keeps the plot moving, and the characters are phenomenal. I already have about 6 characters that I want to cosplay. I love it.

So, that leads me to my new cosplay plans...




This is my new plan for MTAC (but no, I will not be showing quite that much leg). I'm commissioning the cosplay (I've already paid for it, actually), and I'm so excited about it. Tony will be ******* Lelouch (asterisks are spoilers!!), so we'll be quite the pair. I can't wait for it.

Also, another new plan for MTAC - I'll be trying out for MTAC Idol, the singing contest on Saturday during the con. I hope to make it pretty far, but we'll just have to see. I have a lot of practicing to do!

And with that, I must go. Gotta meet a friend for lunch, and then go for classes. Hopefully, I won't wait so long to update again...

*deep breath*

AAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH.

I feel like crap. And I've been wanting to scream all day in pain.

Needless to say, I feel a bit better.

Thought I'd lay out my plans for the cons I'm going to this year. All in all, I'm planning five new cosplays - one at MTAC, and four at AWA. I know, a tall order for AWA in September, but I should have the summer to work on it. And I've pulled entire cosplays in one night, so as long as I apply myself during the summer, I should be fine. Tony (my boyfriend and love of my life, who I met at MTAC Prime 2007) is determined to not wait 'til the last minute in getting stuff done, so I think I'll have plenty of motivation. After all, I want us both to have a fun and relaxing time at the con... and when we don't, it seems it's because *I* don't have everything done. ^_^;;

And now for the list itself...

MTAC (Middle Tennessee Anime Convention) Ninja 2009:
Yuuko Ichihara from xxxHolic (Chinese Butterfly Dress)


(Yes, I'm going to be that sexy lady in the foreground. Tony will be the boy-servant in the background, Watanuki.)

Anime Weekend Atlanta 2009
Kallen Kozuki from Code Geass: LeLouche of the Rebellion
Lollipop from Shin Chan's ACTION BASTARD!
Hayate Yagami from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's
Mikuru Asahina from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

I'll add pics of my AWA cosplays as I begin to work on them (or commission them, as the case may be at times). However, since MTAC is so much closer, I thought I'd already throw a pic out there, especially since there are sooooooo many xxxHolic cosplay options.

Those are all the new cosplays I have planned for 2009. Obviously, since I'll be making/buying four new ones for AWA, I won't be repeating any old ones. However, I won't wear Yuuko all weekend for MTAC, so I'll probably bring out an old favorite (Matsumoto Rangiku from Bleach is always a popular option, but if my friends pull out their Shakugan no Shana cosplays, I may pull out Margery Daw). I dunno what I'll do, but I'll make that decision when I get there.

That's all for today. More pics and the like later, when I'm not feeling like absolute s***.

This is on a whim.

So, don't expect anything spectacular here.

My name is Kat, and I am a cosplayer.

And I started this blog to inform the world of my amazing plans to grace the cons of the USA with my fantastic, awe-inspiring cosplays.

... Seriously, though, I'm not that great. XDD

Honestly, I started this little blog on a whim. I have been going to cons for a few years now, and have been cosplaying at every con I've been to. However, as I was looking through my old con photos, I realized that I have never bother to chronicle my cosplaying adventure. I don't even have that many good pics of the six or seven that I have done. Most people probably don't see anything wrong with this... but damn, I have put a lot of hard work and a LOT of money (that I really don't have) to not have anything to show for it.

Thus, this blog was created.

A bit of a waring: I have tried blogging in the past. I have tried every form of journaling possible. And I have failed pretty miserably at all forms of this art. So, while I am planning to keep up with this one... I can't make any solid promises.

I think that's all I need to say right now. I'll have a list of cosplays (past, present, and future), cons, and photos up soon (maybe even tomorrow, since I haz no school).
