Cosplay guild (Reposted from a personal blog)

So, I've been emailing people into cosplay for my culminating project. During a computer lab day with Eisele a couple weeks ago Mandarr helped me found a article on a college website about Sakuracon! It turned out to be awesome, as I found information about the Olympic Cosplay guild. I emailed the guy a week-ish ago, and he emailed me back! Robert Grey is the founder of it, and he seems really awesome. The guild was founded in Sequim, but there are people there, in Seattle, Port Angeles and there's NINE in Port Townsend. Bremerton works out to be the center of it all. Turns out the best place to meet would be Seattle or... the mall! :0

So, since I told him I had several friends interested in joining, I'd thought I'd share. :D
Since we're all under eighteen, there's only one question we have to answer in order to join. Once I get it, I can give it to others to have them join. Pretty cool. :o
During our searches we also found AKI-CON! Which is a small anime convention in Everett November 7-9th. It sounds really awesome, a decent size, and they happened to have a Gurren group last year. :D


I'm excited about this, so sorry if I don't make sense. Talk to me at school. c:

Cosplay Ramblings (Repost from Personal Journal)

Aaaa. D: I want to cosplay Stein SO much now. He's such a crazy SOB and I LOVE it :D
Just need a lab,coat, lots of grey fabric and some pants :D

Cosplays I want to do now:
Nia (Have the materials)
Commander Simon (Have everything)
Lolita Nia (Have lace,etc)
Maka
Dr.Stein :D
Cut for rambling.
Stein would be the easiest. I'd want to piece together his sweater, but everything else is pretty much goodwill/Halloween clearence and lots of embroidery. Plus, giant screw.
I'd be pretty fun to go through Sakuracon on a wheely chair. But I don't have the truck anymore, so no go. :<

I got bra cups and white pleather for Yoko today. My mom paid for it, which was pretty sweet. c: We got the shorts done. They need to be taken in around the butt.I just need an hour to do the bra and its done. Yoko is pretty simple... I haven't bought the tights or the gloves... Jason can buy those. >>;
I got the fabric for SUPREME commander Simon pants. (That's how the dub translates it :D Makes me happy.)
I'm going to fix up and sell Simon jacket.. It's so godawfully huge on me now and it was before. Since I've dropped 6 pants sizes/shrunk a bit up top, it's better if I have a nice fitted jacket. I'm also replacing Simon wig (Maybe. I bought another one and will compare them if no one has replied to my ad by then.) and I stripped Simon goggles of their paint and have added sculpey and clay onto them to make them the right shape.
I wince every time I look at the pictures from Sakuracon. There's a reason why I don't go on cosfu anymore, cause I know I'm on it. >>;
Cosplaying Maka will be fun as well. I mainly just wanna make soul-scythe c:
Looking through cosplay.com, someone had the really good idea of having the staff screw into the blade part. I should do that. And have Yoko gun be collapsible so we can stuff it into cars, etc.

The one thing I'm kind of iffy about.. is Lolita Nia. I don't really feel like doing it anymore.. it isn't as exciting.. but it was the dress I was going to show off as my product as the most difficult and complicated. I have a bunch of stuff collected for it.. but mainly in appliques and lace. I don't know of anything else complicated.. so I guess I'll do it and sell it.. But I'm rather 'meh' about it.
