Ringo has been "subtley" harassing me to post my Cosplay-at-Comiket write-up here in our Cosplay Journal. I've finally un-lazyed myself enough to do so, so here it is! If you've read it on my personal journal, this is just a complete copy-paste, so feel free to disregard ;D


( On Being a Foreigner, Cosplaying in Japan... )

tl;dr It was AWESOME, Teca had a cadre of fangirls, and changing clothes in a room full of Japanese girls gets less weird every time I do it. XD

Click HERE for all the shots Minako-chan took! :D

While taking a quick sewing break I thought I would update one more time! Makoto has been dong lots of photo editing so we have had lots of updates! AW is in only 3 more days. *epp*

Indian Peacock, Yuuko and Sakura


This is still one of my favorite Yuuko cosplays. It has great sentimental value to me. ^_^;; Not just because I enjoyed making the jewelery and styling the outfit, I also got to meet Clamp while wearing it.
If your intrested, there is a picture and a little write up here --> http://www.cosplay.com/photo/761294/

It's the second year for a new con in Denver, and somehow we've managed to talk a bunch of people into doing CLAMP Chinese Power Rangers matching white designs from the 3D Land toy boxes.

Here's a progress photo of mine! Ignore the dorky expression XD

It's suuuuuuuper pink. #^_^#
We're wearing the set at noon on Saturday, so come say hi!

I hope it'll be a good time, Denver could use a second convention! :D

The whole Flickr thing is working pretty well because we are actually updating more than one a year!!! Wooohooo! Are you proud of us cause I am!

On to the updates!

Hungary, Lichtenstien and America (special guest Teca!) from Hetalia Axis Powers

We actaully wore these to Comiket this past winter! It was an amazing experiance and quite a bit different than when Makoto and I cosplayed in Japan in 2007. Makoto has an excellent write up of our adventures, maybe she will be kind enough to cross post it here. =3


Milly Ashford, C.C., Lelouch Lamperouge and Cornelia Li Britania (Code Geass)



Only a few more posting and we will be all caught up! Makoto and I will be attending Animeland Wasabi in a few weeks, we are going to be part of Clamp in 3-d land group.
Can you believe it I'm not making a Yuuko costume!
See you all soon!

Hokuto from Tokyo Babylon


Ritsuko Kübel Kettenkrad and Komaki Asagiri from Kujibiki Unbalance


Dominic, Eureka and Ruri from Eureka Seven


Shinku, Hinaichigo, and Jun from Rozen Maiden


Lacus Clyne and Meer Campbell from Gundam Seed Destiny


Renge, Momoka and Takashi from Ouran High School Host Club


Hide from X Japan (Rusty Nail PV)


See you soon! =D

If anyone even visits our gallery you will see that it is woefully in need of an update. Unfortunatly it's takes a long time to edit, thumbnail, and html all of those gallery pages. I just don't have the time like I used to. ^_^;;

So I have come up with a solution that will get pictures up quickly and takes almost no time at all!

Flickr!

I've been a user on there for some time and love the organization of it all, all new costumes will have specific tags that will link to new costume groups. Eventually I'd like to make a splash page for each costume but for now I can get everything updated!

Here are two phootshoots that Makoto and I have been evolved with in the last few months!

Code Geass DVD Box Version


and

Cloth Road Royal Castrato Versions




If you are a Flickr member feel free to add comments and add us as a contact!

Happy Cosplay everyone!

Hey there in LJ-land! I promise us Paper Wings girls aren't dead, we are just really bad at updating our projects in the internet. ^_^;;

I'm working slowly to catch up our gallery and get everything up to date again, but it's also time to work on costumes for DragonCon!

In the meantime Inara from Digital Dreams Photography has posted photos from Makoto and I's Chevalier d'Eon costumes. She is an amazing photographer and we are so lucky to work with her, so go check them out!



Now back to work,
Ringo ♥

Everyone ready for NDK?
I won't be there, but I'll be cheering you all on :O

I just got back from Afest. I haven't uploaded all my pictures yet, though. I haven't put any of the Nemu photos up, but I have all the best Arshtat ones :D

I swear this post isn't just to pimp out my asshat costume. I was cleaning out deleted communities from my list, and I had forgotten we had this nifty community :X So hello thar! :O

We're headless chickens up here in Denver. Yikes!

This weekend is NDK, and approximately nothing is complete. >_< (Not even my Ouran High School uniform, because I forgot about the buttons on the cuffs!) But we're doing our best, and hope to have everything done in time to start our Programming staff duties:

Friday:
*9pm: Anime Pitch! (It's our first time being in Main Events, so come cheer us on!)
*11pm: J-pop Dance Lessons
*12pm: Johnny's Fan Panel

Saturday:
*1pm: Kumihimo Braiding

Sunday:
*10am: Mizushima-sensei's FMA shoot
*1pm: Doll & Gothic Lolita Tea Party
*3pm: Sewing for Dolls

Hope to see you at the con~!

Wowzers we have grossly neglected this journal. Yeah, sorry about that. We tend to post cosplay stuff in our personal journals and then forget our little community here. XD

To catch everyone up Becca, Nick and I had a BLAST at Expo. I haven't been that tired at a con before but it was wonderful. Here are a few photos from a trip (posted in our cosplay.com accounts), so you can see what we have been up too. ^_^ We were a litte insane before hand, we each made 5 new costumes this con. XD We are crazy.

Well that's about it for now, us Denverites are on the verge of OMG NAN DESU KON time. We have once again pick a crazy amount of projects, not to mention our panel work. ahhhhh

Expect a large website update sometime after NDK. There will be more photos from our Expo, Animefest and NDK costumes. ^_^

Now for sewing! Ooooooo!! Faito!

-Ringo

Working hard, hard, hard on stuff for Anime Expo this year!

charmedseed recommended Rozen Maiden earlier this year, and Ringo and I ended up loving it. I thought it was a modified harem show about dolls. Well, it still kind of is, but it's so much more fantastic than that. So, cosplay!

Here's a couple progress photos of Shinku up on cosplay.com. I'm very proud of Kun-kun. XD

Ringo-chan buckled down this evening and updated the website! Shokku!

Click to jump straight to the Gallery.

New photos for Shiina (Tales of Symphonia), Norn and Klein (Atelier Iris), and the Outo Country versions of Syaoran and Sakura. Enjoy! More to come soon!

Lots to make before Expo... let's get crackin'!

Irashaimase!

After a fantastic trip to Expo we have an update in our Gallery. =D
The new costumes are from Gundam Seed Destiny, Bleach, Tsubasa RC and XXXHolic.

I also have a little Expo Gallery with photos from the Gundam Seed/ Destiny, Bleach and Tsubasa/HHHolic gatherings.

Expect more updates after Animefest and NDK. =D

Now back to sewing~
