It's been a long hiatus.. almost 2 years?

In and out of this hobby, I found myself frustrated with life and decided to take a break off cosplay and to focus what was in front of me.

But things have settled and I can finally come back.. It was painful to once have hated your hobby, as much as you loved it.

My comeback will be slow.. but hopefully with a blast of passion!!

I created a cosplay account on facebook to make friends, so do add me!

I can't believe I managed to procrastinate a good half year before writing this review. What made me get down to writing this was a refreshing memory from the day of the event itself.. Video taken and edited by elpheal, our dear local 'paparazzi'! Thank you for your hard work!

The video is a put together of how Jesuke and I made our costumes, like a mini tutorial and interview. Do visit thecosplaychronicles.blogspot.… for her many helpful tutorials and reviews!

In support, I uploaded a second shot taken by :iconrescend:'s awesome 'cinematic' shot.

Do stay tuned for the rest of my teammates! We will finally be having our shoot, guys!

_____________________________________________
Moving on to the review on that day..

Starting with a rough summary. Since forming the team for our traditional Hakuouki costumes, I had always wanted Kanasaiii to join us once again for the Calendar version of Hijikata but countless times, she would reject me. Due to the difficulty of dyeing the gradient on his hakama, lack of funds, interest and would rather do other series. We are best friends, so naturally, I was upset, although respecting her decision. Later, I was told by ashteyz that we have a coser named.. N-..NN..omg I forgot. Nelly? whatever. joinging us as Hijikata. Despite that, I continued to relentlessly grill Kanasaiii to still cosplay Hijikata. But she never agreed to in the end, so I disappointingly gave up.

I was annoyed at this girl who was gonna be our Hijikata. Because she never did come for our team discussion meetings, and was even late turning up for the event. But when she finally came...

The video is for friends only on fb so I screencapped..

keixtique69 turned almost immediately to see how I reacted!


...and followed by a roar of laughter TwT


Really, I was just STUNNED.


Kanasaiii as Hijikata Toshizo.


WILL YOU LOOK AT HER PRIDEFUL FACE!! LOLOL!


...everyone was laughing!


I was speechless and finally, senses hit me and I knew I was pranked.


KANASAI, CAN I HIT YOU NOW?


Embarrassed. Amused. Speechless. And....


....amusingly annoyed!!




*WHACKTENTOLDSOVER*




They were like... SUCCESS!! WOOOO!!!!!

....orz
It was not very manly, but I cried. Happy tears of course. Thank you all for bringing me such a dear memory to my heart, especially to Kanasaiii who suffered a lot of verbal abuse, tantrums and tried so hard to keep it a secret from me.

Apparently! She gave her thumbs up to cosplay Calendar Hiji even before me. OTL And decided to 'get back' at me for the same prank I did to her 4 years ago. XD

.....Thank you..

I was invited to join :iconcvy: in her team for Alice in Wonderland -Steampunk- as the Red Queen of Hearts! I had so much fun with my team members:

:iconplhu:: Alice
:iconcvy:: White Rabbit
:iconbanditying:: Cheschire Cat
:iconreiyuv:: Caterpillar
:iconxiaobai:: March Hare
:icontsuyin:: Dormouse
:iconamaegari:: Duchess
:iconjesuke:: Tweedledee
:iconashteyz:: Tweedledum
:iconblacklashjo:: IX of Hearts card soldier
:iconrescend:: V of Hearts card coldier
...and my awaited :iconkanasaiii:: Mad Hatter

I was enthralled by the unlimited inspirations and things I could design for her, so I would like to thank Cvy for asking me to take up the role! It was going to be the first original costume I have ever done and I was both nervous and excited about it. The theme steampunk was already enticing enough, and as a fashion designer, I really wanted to put in what I learnt but could not do for my graduation collection, despite choosing the same theme.

The design kind of came up in a rush, and I had the help of my fellow team mates for opinions to put together this my sketched design:


Can't say I really explored all the possible aspects in brainstorming but after just 2 sketches, I was really happy with how this one looked!

Now for some behind the scenes shots at the event!


With my loyal card subjects <3


With Caterpillar, and march hare photobomb-ing behind, so cute!


With Dormouse, and march hare at it again.......*_*


....and roped the bunny in.


Son no.1 <3


Son no.2


With my cute busy rabbit!


As a lot have known by now.. the past 3 weeks was simply torturous for me. Having to cope with this costume, school exams and Japanese Language Proficiency Test, I fell really ill and almost gave up even trying to show up for this event. It was really difficult to stay focused being so ill, but though I could finish only 80% of my original intent, I am very relieved I made it. Shut myself in every day to either study, costume or cough my life away |||orz

Thank you everyone, my dearest mates <3
