I've got a convention coming up, so it's time for the Great List of Planned Cosplay!
As of last night (Tuesday the 18th) I have 5 planned for Anime Nebraskon which is November 6-8.
*Twilight Town Roxas - Kingdom Hearts 2
*Toph Bei Fong - Avatar the Last Airbender
*Katyusha Braginskaya (Ukraine) - Axis Powers Hetalia
*Botan - Yu Yu Hakusho +OMG PINK KIMONO!
*Slytherin Student - Harry Potter
Three of the five are COMPLETE, but need a few small tweaks, I will admit.
I've got almost all of the materials for Katyusha, though haven't started her.
I haven't even started on Botan. =3=
My boyfriend is going to be going to the con as Koenma, I think, or Kurama... I really need to talk to him about it, because we haven't really decided though we talked of it on Sunday after the Concert of Epic Win.
Also! I'm going to be taking one of my dolls, if not both, to the con. Chandrakant - my SOOM Glati is going to be the Canada to my Ukraine. He's going to be so adorable, even though he's going to be annoyed because he won't have his hooves, horns, or wings. Poor thing, lol.
If I get around to it, Pendragon - my Dream of Doll Homme Ducan will be Gabriel from Constantine, but with wrong hair unless I can get a new wig for him on time. =3= Being short on cash sucks. I'm not entirely sure I want him coming to con with me, because he's an SD doll, meaning he's a little over two feet tall and a bit awkward to carry around.
Concert of Epic Win happened on Sunday the 16th. It was River Riot 2009.
It was AMAZING, at least after the first three bands got done playing, lol. But seriously, all the bands were good, but the last four were the best!
I had lots of fun with the Boyfriend and Bennie-chan. We got to Westfair at about 1:30pm and didn't get in until about 3:15, but luckily the first band hadn't started playing yet.
Band list (in the order they played):
Pomeroy
Dirty Little Rabbits
Rehab
Chester French
Panic! at the Disco
Fall Out Boy
Blink 182
It was freaking amazing! I loved it so much and had lots of fun, even though we all got sunburned - me the least of all because the other two are red-heads. I got a little dehydrated, which I began realizing when I started feeling sick when Fall Out Boy started their portion of the show, but I stuck through the concert because I wasn't about to leave before it was over.
Throughout the day, Bennie-chan and I realized that all of the bands seemed to have a preoccupation with sex, displayed most blatantly by Tom and Mark of Blink 182, who changed some of the lyrics of their own songs to be dirty. "She gave me rimjobs on the stairs" for example, instead of "She left me roses on the stairs." It made us lol and lol hard.
The one blemish on the amazing day was the shit we had to go through to get out of the damn parking area. It took TWO HOURS when it should have only taken about twenty-five minutes. Sean (the Boyfriend) said it was the most disorganized he'd ever seen Westfair - and he'd been there for two of three concerts before. But, even with the blemish of the horrible parking - and people stealing road cones and the damn sunburns - it was a great day.
Finally: I'll be figuring out how to do the cut thing eventually... EVENTUALLY. [EDIT] Figured it out! Beware of my abuse of cuts... Now that I figured out how to do it, I'm gonna be doing it a lot for a while.[/EDIT]
