Snapshots from Miami
Will make a proper post soon. ^^
Growing out my hair!!
I’ve been uncommitted to the idea of growing out my hair for several years now, but I think I’m finally ready, haha! This morning I particularly liked how my hair looked, so I thought I’d take some self-indulgent self-portraits to help chronicle my journey back to long hair. Though I’d dyed my hair a very dark […]
Con Report: Sakuracon 2015
Sakuracon this year felt like the shortest convention I’ve had. Ever. I spent most of my time tabling at the Artist Alley so I really don’t have a lot of photos to share, but even though it was so short it was very enjoyable and very relaxing. After having a super stressful quarter at school, […]
Kim Jung Gi: Seattle Pop Up Art Show
Had the wonderful opportunity to see Kim Jung Gi at his one-day Pop-Up Art Show in Seattle! My coworker Kelvin invited me to go, and I invited Kent and Rico to come with us as well. Due to the Within Sodo venue having a power outage, the show was suddenly moved to 1927 Events on […]
Mini-haul from Sockdreams and WeLoveColors
Anyone who knows me irl, whether at school, work, whatever, knows that I love long socks and colored/patterned tights so much. So when I realized I’d ripped my last pair of colored tights last week, a pair that I’d had since 2010 when I went on my Korea trip, I went out to buy some […]
Cosplay Progress: Kotori Minami + Hyuuga Hinata
My TB order for this upcoming Sakuracon came in a few weeks ago!! I managed to get my new Kotori wig, my Hinata and Jubilee wig, as well as the shoes I’m using for Kotori’s cheerleader outfit, and my hat for Chopper from One Piece. ^^ I was so excited with how Kotori’s wig looked […]
Make-up test: Kotori Minami
I got over my fear of fake eyelashes today! Hahahaha. After a lot of trial and error figuring out what style works best for me, I think I finally found my go-to eyelash look for female/idol cosplays! And they just so happened to be a $1.50 pair from Daiso HAHAHAHA. I’m wearing my Beuberry Kitten […]
Cosplay Progress: Love Live! School Idol Project
Today I’m going to be uploading some WIP shots of my Love Live! School Idol Project cosplay. I made Kotori Minami’s “ユメノトビラ” (Yume no Tobira) outfit from their 15th album, which appeared season 2×3 of the anime ^^ I have a huge soft spot for flowers, pastel gradients, bridal satin, and chiffon, so this costume […]
8tracks: sleepless nights + quiet mornings
Here’s my second 8tracks mix! I’ve been meaning to make something like this for awhile, but using only my k-indie music. There’s a lot of k-indie bands that I want to introduce to others, so in the future I’ll probably make some more themed sampler mixes. This playlist is both a relaxation mix as well […]
Cosplay Progress: Yowamushi Pedal + knit construction info
A somewhat step-by-step progression of how I made my Hakogaku cycling jersey from Yowamushi Pedal. :)! I learned a lot working with such a slippery knit fabric, but I’m super happy with the end result, even though I still need to finish the cosplay! Materials used 1.5yd Nylon/Spandex Milliskin Matte (WHITE) 1.5yd Nylon/Spandex Milliskin Matte […]
