FANIME! 2013!!
Oh wow, so I guess I hadn't posted anything about Fanime yet? Let's remedy that.
I'm going to do this like kiwimangoodness does, because I like that way.
Warnings: A few photos? And some words. Yup. That's it.

MANNY WHY DO YOU NEVER TALK TO ME
There is like seven yards of fabric in that cloak. It swishes around pretty well, but it's also really heavy.
I thought this was a polar bear and therefore appropriate. It's actually a "California Bear." ??? Okay.
So much to fix before SDCC. Hopefully. I have to finish my How to Train Your Dragon stuff first, gah.

WELCOME TO MgRONALD's. Would you like fries with that?
It was a good convention. I got to see almost everyone and had lots of fun. I'm hoping to work less next year, but we'll see.
Uh… probably more cosplay photo junk later? I might just throw it on Cosplay.com or Cure instead. I have a big awesome Tsuritama photoshoot from last weekend I want to put up at some point, and that might take priority. (Oh gosh, we were in San Francisco and we played in the waves and practiced our casting and ate cookies and Eeeee! It was so great!)
I'm going to do this like kiwimangoodness does, because I like that way.
