I’ve wanted to write this post for a while,
and since the alternative evening activity is homework OR reading mean papers OR learning (…*sigh*) OR writing the blog post about enlightenment by the algebro,
it’s this post ^-^
In 2013 I did not cosplay new stuff very much, since I was pretty busy studying, or wore old costumes or stage costumes (and did not attend that many conventions at all).
But I sewed some new ones, and I’m a bit proud, so here they are:
Cosplay-year 2013 started with the book fair in Leipzig, where roomie, another friend and I participated in the ECG-Preliminary (we didn’t win anything, but we were awesome). We chose Ozais Angels (Azula, Mai and Ty Lee) from Avatar the last Airbender as characters, so that’s me:
(yep, that’s the Rhein in Bonn, we shooted at the Ani).
Then the Chisaii Con in Hamburg took place, I was helping the technician, so I did not cosplay too much,
but the amazing Chiko-chan ♥ shooted me as Utena (School Uniform) from Utena:
(please note the pink eyebrows. They are awesome.)
In Berlin was the Ongaku Matsuri, a ‘convention’ which exists for the sole purpose of watching the WCS-final in japan and to give a DCM-preliminary to the north of germany. I participated as Shaolan from Tsubasa Chronicles – Tokyo Revelations,
after sewing the costume in two nights. I still have horrible time management.
(yeah, it’s a boy, and I’m handsome!)
And then there was the Ani. At Friday I went in civil, since we arrived late and I didn’t want to change for an hour or so,
Saturday I wore Mai again and we did a shooting, and sunday was the interesting day:
My showgroups first official performance with new cast, my first performance in this showgroup (I had been in another before I joined), my first time on stage after two years absence…it was fun, although the picture captures my discontent with the role I played (yeah, Bubbles is awesome, I know. Buuuuuut…)
After the Ani comes the Connichi – I rarely cosplay there since I’m too busy working. I could insert a picture of exhausted me, but this would shatter the illusion that I’m pretty ^-^
Traditionally the MMC/AniMaCo is the last convention of the cosplay year,
on friday I wore last year’s (DCM) Utena:
(pink eyebrows again! and it actually doesn’t count, it’s an old costume!)
on saturday Bubbles again
and on sunday Roomie and I cosplayed Nami & Nojiko from One Piece.
Although we were female and not horribly ugly, there are no pictures. Perhaps we’ll shoot them some day…
