Goodbye 2012
Well look at that. Less than an hour left of 2012. This year has certainly had its extreme ups and downs. On the good side, I started eating healthier and dropped some weight, improved my sewing skills and got to go to Japan and experience Takarazuka live. I'll never forget meeting the eyes of so many ladies on stage during that first viewing of ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm up earlier than my two trip mates. . .so for the few people that haven't heard me say it a million times on Twitter:
Chikamatsu is wonderful.
Honestly I was initially disappointed that Miwacchi's Bow was going to be a nihonmono. They're nearly impossible for me to follow with my poor grasp of Japanese. But I told myself I would try my hardest to ( Read more... ) -
Only in Vegas!
I must share this funny story from yesterday.
mirthfairy and I made an afternoon of it driving around Vegas hitting up all the fun fabric- and costume-related shops. We were trying to get ideas for Takarazuka costumes we might want to make in the future (yes, this is how we spend our Fridays. We are such nerds!) and there is nowhere more fun to do that than ( Read more... ) -
It's finally happening!
And so my ability to keep this thing updated dwindles, even though my desire to write my thoughts down doesn't. It's just that my thoughts are jotted down in 140-character bites throughout the day, so my need to make long posts here isn't as big as it used to be. I keep saying I'm going to make more of an effort here, but I never do. I'm not ( Read more... ) -
On That Tiny Piece of News...
Tsukigumi top star announcements have been severely delayed, and to entertain ourselves myalchod and I began making up "crack top combis" on Twitter every day. My first crack combi on February 1st was a Masaki/Mirio double top with kumichou and Magee converting to musumeyaku and being tops with them. Hilarious, right ( Read more... ) -
Quick question/opinion time!
So yesterday I decided to make a new loli dress with fabric I had sitting around. Apparently I didn't think out this plan well before I started, because I'm having a bit of trouble. Hopefully everyone's input can help me decide where to go from here ( Read more... ) -
Angelic Threads is BACK BABY!
Since my last update I've kept myself busy both weekends in between. Last weekend I was at Anime LA. It wasn't a bad convention exactly - just a fairly dull one. I'm glad I got to see some people and get some pictures of my new costumes but other than that it was a bust. I think I'll stay home next year unless I have definite plans for the ( Read more... ) -
Tomoe Mami In Progress
I said I wouldn't post about Mami until I finished my autumn events report, but as I haven't worked on that report for a month I'm giving up for now. Sorry, I'm just not in the right headspace for that stuff right now. Hopefully I'll finish it eventually, but for now I'm going back to blabbing about sewing.
So what am I making?
