I want to showcase a cosplayer today: my wifey. She makes me such wonderful cosplays, but she rarely gets in costume herself. So as a confidence booster, she borrowed my Belle dress and a corset so that it would fit her better, and we walked around together at Daisho Con <3 She got to see what it was like to be stopped for pictures and be called beautiful, and it was really great to see her reactions. Because I think she’s so lovely but I’m always the one wearing the fancy dresses.
I think the best moment was meeting J. Michael Tatum, because he spazzed over our dresses and I was like, “She’s the one who makes them.” His face after that and her reaction? Yes. It’s about time she got to be in the spotlight :)
So yeah, here’s my costume making wifey. Tell her that she needs to cosplay in more things like this with me! Oh, and she found a Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon a Time and spazzed all cute like :)

been in an artistic funk for the past few hours so drew a Peach real quick.
Welp gotta use the Peach dress again to cosplay this <3
That one time we were at Daisho Con and J. Michael Tatum spazzed over our Disney Princess cosplay and asked for a picture with us <3
More Daisho pictures to come, most are on my wifey’s camera, including me with my Lottie, and my wifey working my Belle dress. OMG you guys we got stopped SO MUCH and I ran into people who were fans of me and I couldn’t believe it at all and just EVERYONE AT THIS CON HAS BEEN SO WONDERFUL THAT I HAVE TO USE ALL CAPS.
And to top it all off I get to end this weekend with a bunch of Persona announcements AND picking my mama up from the airport on the way home for her week vacation with us for Thanksgiving OMG WHY IS LIFE SO PERFECT RIGHT NOW?!
Happy Saturday, everyone. Today is Tiana day and we may have found some other princesses along the way, huzzah! Yesterday was this holiday festive version of Peach <3
Friday at Daisho was great. It is a bit strange being able to just walk around and not sit at a table, but it’s been a lot of fun. The really cool thing that’s been happening that I wasn’t expecting was people recognizing me from the article I wrote and who follow me here and on tumblr O.O That’s really incredible! Like I got some, “I recognize you from this article you wrote” and some “Hey is this you” and “omg I know you from the internet” and… yeah. Wow <3
I also was really incredibly super brave and not awkward (was totally awkward) because I gave J. Michael Tatum a Grell clock I made because he likes Grell. I did it all by myself like a big kid and was all ready to walk away forever but then he asked for a picture and called me gorgeous in my Peach cosplay and everything is a blur after that. But I did it alone so yay me!
More con pictures coming soon, you know, once I’m more coherent and stuff.

Oh my God, Haruka…
I’m reblogging this because I want to stress how pleased I am that people like my portrayal of Sailor Uranus/Haruka.
I had no idea what I was doing and I was a nervous wreck, but I think the take-home lesson for me was “fake it ‘til you make it”, because despite feeling like a total hack the whole time, I think the end result was really successful.
I just wanted to share that with you guys, in case you ever think you’re not talented enough or “pretty” enough or “normal” enough to do something - just rock it anyway. It doesn’t matter that a real agency would never sign me because I’m not tall enough or skinny enough - what matters is that I walked in there faking confidence and I grabbed that sword and I modeled as if I belonged there alongside those real agency models.
And so while I’m still super nervous and embarrassed about the whole thing, I’m also really ridiculously happy and flattered that people like what I’ve put forth here. Thank you for your support!
It’s confidence like that - not like, self absorbed confidence or even the confidence I see represented generally, but confidence that the day will go on - even if today doesn’t go so well - that is important to remember.
It’s not confidence ‘I’m good enough’ more than it’s confidence ‘I have to try this - for myself’. It usually turns out okay! And if not, you can always practice until it does turn out good enough - at least for yourself, to know you improved. I think that’s a positive way to live.
As a Uranus fan, I was both excited Kris got to do it, AND pleased at the result! Way to rock Kanji and Haruka this year~ o_o What a fluid babe~
Favorite group of Sailor Scouts, and my girl Kris makes a damn good Haruka/Sailor Uranus <3 And here you thought she just drew amazing kannao OTP art, it turns out she’s a beautiful cosplayer too!
