Sometimes I stumble across a fictional character that I NEED to cosplay as, even if I'm not familiar with said work of fiction. Today was one of those stumbly days!   Quoting Wiki for ya, this is what the character is from:   "Japan Animator Expo or Japan Anima(tor)'s Exhibition is a weekly series of original net animations released as part of a collaboration between Hideaki Anno's Studio Khara and Dwango, consisting of various anime shorts produced by many directors."   This delightful character is from the 3rd episode, entitled "ME!ME!ME!"   Her color scheme is so shockingly wonderful. I need to be her, even for just a day.                       She seems like the kind of character that would be fun to cosplay as, personality-wise...  

Posting about Jennie has Me brooding over Dragon Con and how I always miss the convention. I have been missing a lot of conventions, but that's for another blog post. I really want to go to D*C next year. The idea of it has Me salivating. I also want to look awesome. This is a con for doing it up when it comes to costumes. It's the con for costuming for sure. I want to do at least one day in a Sari. I found a few that I'd like... need to narrow it down. http://www.utsavsarees.com/store/sarees-large.aspx?icode=SLSSW172 http://www.utsavsarees.com/store/sarees-large.aspx?icode=SKK9529 http://www.utsavsarees.com/store/sarees-large.aspx?icode=SLSZB227 http://www.utsavsarees.com/store/sarees-large.aspx?icode=SZB405A http://www.utsavsarees.com/store/sarees-large.aspx?icode=SLSZB57 But should I rock the sarees all weekend or go for some actual geeky cosplay too? Who would I dress up as? Emma Frost is cool (hur hur see what I did thur?): Or something anime? I loved the uniforms in ...

Retro is the in thing, but I've lusted at retro for much, much longer. One guilty pleasure? Retro/vintage space girls. Solar hotties, rocket babes. Mmmm mmmm! I do indeed drool. And I'd LOVE to dress up like one and do shoots until I die from old age and/or dehydration. I'd especially love to doll Myself up like this first tasty cutey.

I am obsessed with Marilyn. I have a Marilyn theme in My living room and man, when it's finished... Woooha! I've been plotting a Marilyn Monroe costume for some time now. Something breakaway for performing on stage, but still looks whole for shoots. Here's a refresher course: I'm going for her pink look in Gentlemen, like thus: Here. Here. Here. Of course, there are costume companies that churn out a cheap knockoff in bulk, but I want a custom one, and like I said, I want it breakaway. I'd be chopping the skirt of it up to mid-thigh, toning the back bow down a bit (maybe make it as wide as My ass but, not much past it!) I think, since so many photos and clips from the film show so many shades of pink, I'd like to go with something not quite... this dark . More like the shade used in the promo art , if I can. As long as I can get matching gloves. Then I need to snag the rhinestones, since acquiring that many diamonds is so very unrealistic LOL. I'd need to ge...
