ParaNorman and Bullying
Last year, I won a livejournal contest for my journal on bullying. I thought I should revisit the subject a bit and the connection I felt when I saw the film ParaNorman. I probably should have wrote this back in August when I first saw the film. Since it's been over two months since then, my memory of it is probably a little fuzzy. Also if you ( Read more... ) -
HEADDESK
You really don't have a clue do you? When you starting insulting people for complaining about sexual harassment because "they should have expected it," you are victim blaming. Calling a girl an "idiot" and "whiny" because she didn't expect someone to take photos of her ass, is putting the blame on her. She has a right to complain about it because ( Read more... ) -
Dear Guy who thinks doing a Nazi Germany cosplay is a good idea.
You're seriously pissing me off. You are coming off as a real life troll. The girl who set up the Hetalia photoshoots made it very clear that swastikas were not allowed. She wasn't even allowing flags at the photoshoots which I thought was a little too far but I still followed that rule. If you really wanted to wear it you should have set up a ( Read more... ) -
YaoYaoing Review
Awhile back I mentioned I commissioned a costume and was going to review it. While I did do so, I never posted it on Livejournal and only did it on Cosplay.com. So I'm going to be doing it now.

Toni's Lolita Wardrobe 2012
I've been a longtime admirer of Lolita fashion but it wasn't until last June that I took the plunge and started buying it. Even though it's only been a few months, I've built up quite a collection. I don't own any brand at this time but I hope to one day. I'm just waiting for the right dress.

Example on How to Not Attract Customers
I wanted to share this amusing gem of a bad commissioner. In this case, he ruined things before anything was set up. I'm planning to do a cosplay of American McGee's Alice. The company makes an official replica of the blade she uses in the game. Problem is that it's made of steel so it wouldn't be allowed inside a con. So I make a short gripe about ( Read more... ) -
The Hetalia Fandom isn't THAT Bad
Ok I've been seeing a lot of people complaining about the "crazy Hetalia fandom" lately and I've had enough. Really this can apply to any fandom with a bad reputation but since I've been seeing toward Hetalia lately I'm going to focus on that. Seriously, many of the stories that get passed around are either so far-fetched to begin with that I have ( Read more... ) -
Children's Day Hungary
I've been wanting to do this cosplay forever. I actually would start a piece and leave it unfinished for a long time while I worked on other projects. I decided I wanted to wear this for Hetalia Day so I buckled down and got it done. My wig ended up arriving the same day the costume got finished.
