And to think you were worried no one would recognize you, silly thing *^_^* Maybe I'm biased, but I think you look waaaaay better than the other Claire cosplayer (yes, I appreciate all the hard work she did, and she does look good, but YOU were definitely channeling Claire.)
That katana is frelling gorgeous *^_^* I know it was pricey, but I have to agree with Shazzer; that thing was made for you. As for all the other stuff, oh boy, did you do great!
I'm so glad you had a blast this entire weekend. It's certainly about time...and have you noticed that when you follow through on your own plans, they always turn out to be fun?
Thank you *^_^* I had so much fun, I really did. People were coming up to me all day, asking to take my picture. I loved it. Next year I have to start early--I want to cosplay as Scarlett, which will probably involve some custom pieces. I hope I can convince Shazzer to come with me again. I really had such a good time. I can't remember feeling so happy at the end of a day in a really long time. I only hope Halloween is as fun, and Shazz and I are thinking of going to JemCon next year, too

*^_^* You know, I've never held a katana. I wonder how it would feel in my hands? I'm guessing the balance is solid, and makes it graceful to handle, no?
Damn, I really really wish I could come along, though the gods only know who I could possibly cosplay as, other than maybe Genkai from Yu Yu Hakushu *chuckles* I also wish I could come over and read all of your new comics *~_^* I'm especially curious about the Wonder Woman one. That title grabs me.
I'm not sure which is supposed to be more fabulous, the NYC Con or the San Diego one. I believe the second is the original, literally the mother of all cons, at least here in the States.
The katana is balanced beautifully, and one of the things that really anchored me to it. It's Damascus steel, and while it's a replica, it's certainly not a toy--it was created with too much care for that. After over twenty years of being obsessed with storytelling and fantasy weapons, few things please me more than collecting my favorites, from Leon's Desert Eagle to Claire's Lugers to Squall's gunblade, and there'll be many more treasures to find in the future, but I never had a katana, of all things. And out of all the many, many katana in the world belonging to the many, many heroes, this is the one I am supposed to have, and that's very clear to me.
San Diego Comic Con is indeed the master of all cons here, and is legendary. I'd love to go to it someday, when the finances are kind enough to do both in one year. Not everyone cosplays, either--lots of people do, but not everyone. It's almost as fun to read people's witty t-shirts as it is to see costumes--my favorite was the 5-day weather report for Alderaan, with Monday,

My bad, I must have made a mistake? The pict that's seven down from the top of the post. The one with you posing with other chick who's dressed as the same person as you are. The person who's all the way to the right; with the brown (bomber-jacket style) coat. Me and that person has the same haircut.
Still, it's funny you said that. People do comment on how boyish my hair looks. :D
Oh, no, I must have counted wrong :) You were referring to the girl dressed as Leon Kennedy in the first RE-group. I always envy anyone who can cut their hair that short--I'm so not brave enough to meet the world face-first. That's why most people describe me from the hair outward.
Well, thank you! I've always wanted to cosplay her *^_^* I was so pleased with the way the embroiderers handled my vest--lots of people asked to take my picture. I'm so wearing that out somewhere randomly again. Didn't that girl do such a nice job painting hers, too? It was so much fun to talk to other cosplayers--that's always my favorite part of the con!
I commented on your con-photos over at plainrea, but let me say again: You look AMAZING. I admit cosplay is something I've never really thought I would do, but secretly would love to do if I could find a costume that didn't look like it was made with materials from the 50-cent store. ^^ I'd have to cut and straighten my hair (or wear a wig), but I've always wondered how I'd look as Yuna from FFX/FFX-2. *^_^*
I love your wall o' weapons, BTW. I see the Korin Ken is mounted highest on the wall (as it should be). And I see you snuck (sneaked?) a shot of Timber into your photos too. ^_^ He's adorable.
I would have liked to have dressed up as Arwen for ALEP II, except the costume I found was WAY too expensive, and it seemed impractical to wear only once. But I admit, I wouldn't have liked being stopped for pictures. I hate snapping pictures, especially of myself. _-_
Nah, I looked chubby, but boy did I have fun! *^_^* It's been a thirteen-year dream of mine to cosplay Claire, and now I've done it. Next year I'm doing Scarlett. So I can't be chubby, not in her outfit!
You'd be a great Yuna! Cosplaying is fun and at con, everyone cosplays so you're never, ever going to be the silliest one in the room It is great. I loved having my picture taken. I felt like a star, even if I looked awful.
I've got to figure out how to mount the crossbow on the wall...and yes, that is my Timber *^_^* isn't he darling! He's almost as long as I am and the best to cuddle with.

I'm not sure who everyone is, but that person in the brown, leather coat has the same haircut as me. Spooky.
*except mines in more 'poofy', currently, because of all the humid, rainy weather were having*
