Video Game History Museum Exhibit & Bedford Anime Convention 2014!!

Hey guys, so Animarathon was a real blast and now it's finally time for the Summer Con season to really kick off. I didn't attend Colossal but plan to go next year. This weekend I'm attending two events related to Video Games!!

      1. The Toledo Art Museum is hosting a very special exhibit on the history of video games!! It begun yesterday and extends through next Thursday. [facebook event]

I'll be cosplaying Phantom R from the 3DS game, Rhythm Thief and The Emperor's Treasure.

       
       2. The Bedford Library up in Temperance MI, is hosting their convention, and this year, it's Video Game themed!! I'll again, wear Phantom R or possibly Guy Cecil there, and will be heading up with my fiance and a friend. [facebook event]

I'm so excited for both events and cannot wait to debut Phantom R!! I've been playing the game a lot recently, and am stuck on a super hard Rhythm. xD the most hated one R21. I'll be back on Monday likely for entries on how things went and photos. :)

Next, is the exciting news that I'm finally attending my first con of the year!!

It's this month, only a few weeks away!! I'm super happy to go and have a cosplay planned.

I'm going as Ittoki Otoya of Uta Pri~ Casual as I only have the wig right now. I will though, be making some other outfits later on. I also plan to cosplay more characters from the show after Ittoki, so I'll be working on them in months.

Currently I'm watching the show before hand to see everything, I'm terribly behind on so many shows xDD

[Cosplay and Convention Updates] 6.9.13

--A lot of stuff has been happening with me lately, and I've kinda been in convention want for a while, since BASHCon in February. Being unable to attend both Animarathon, in March, and ColossalCon this weekend, in Sandusky has been slightly hurtful. Both were conventions I wanted to attend, but certain things got in the way of them both. Though some other cons are up and coming soon, and I hope to attend as many as I can!~

--Recently, I've had a few photoshoots for some of my costumes, and I'll post those each later in other posts. This entry is focusing on the upcoming cons in the area, nearby state-wise, and what I'm planning to wear.

Con List!!

June 23rd [Bedford Library Con] - Kaoru Kaidoh
August 24th [International Cosplay Day] - Kaoru Kaidoh
Nov. 2nd MAYBE [Youmacon] - Kaoru Kaidou &/or Guy Cecil [Good Spirits]
Dec. 14-15th [TAGFest] - POSSIBLY Karneval cosplay with my cos partner [ArawnElidd A.K.A Alex] if not, Koga [and frolic as a Wolf in the cold xD]

[Update] // A return to Blogger

Well, it certainly has been a while since my last post. 2011, June. (Though I deleted a few older posts, the last one, that is now gone, was posted then.)
Anyway, I'm back to keep this blog updated and full of interesting cosplay shenanigans.

To start off, I will give an updated run through of this and what it will contain, as I've been sorely absent from it for over a year and a half.

--This blog will contain, but is not limited to (each with their own entry):

• Cosplay Plans
• Construction Notes/Pictures (Whole Costumes)
• Videos
• Convention/Cosplay Even Recaps (With Photos)
• Piece-By-Piece Construction (Single parts versus the whole)
• Cosplay Musings/Rants
• Cosplay Photographs (Of others)
• My Personal Cosplay Photographs
• Cosplay Spotlights (of my older work)

The first new entries in this blog, will simply be recapping a few earlier parties I've attended along with many, many amazing photos. :3

Also, the latest entry I will soon post holds exciting news for my convention wise~ <3
