Yesterday: Tsunacon

Wow... just wow... you guys and gals were sweet, awesome and wonderful and the costumes were marvellous. Everyone has done a great job on their outfits ^_^
There was a lovely ambiance and I was glad to see a lot of people whom I recently missed with all my heart. I do hope, next time, to have lovely brownies, not "tested" by a foul peson who ate my stock for "comfortfood".

Oh how I loved to play Mother Gothel, and how I loved to be polite. Trust me, almost six months ago I would be called snobby stuck-up bitch, but yesterday, I got so much back. Mother Gothel will be cosplayed more often.

Though even better, how much I loved the lady :iconaquaassassin: to drop by for the con and the lady :iconroxannakitty: for being my darling Rapunzel. Be ware of Men with long fangs and evil grins, for they might eat you alive  my darling sweetheart. So: quit the drama and stay with mama!

The cosplay Mother Gothel, on the other hand, can use some work *I'm being full of self critique, I know...* new and better embroideries on the dress, belts, cape. Redo lining in sleeves and start lining in cape, finish the dagger and scabbard and eventually, when the theatre shop allows it >.< a new wig.

Today: Monday

Play dead. No rolling over, no sitting up and patting my bun-bun tail on the floor for a snack, no looking good nor cute and absolutely no doing anything whatsoever. This morning I was still a-okay, right now I'm tumbling over, desiring a decent meal and a good night sleep.

I'm also awaiting a new internship to finish education *finally* and have heard lovely news concerning evil stepmom: it is good to know that there is justice in this world and that justice has been done in my favour. There is a God! He's just not always available ;p

Tomorrow: Tuesday

Start cosplays Lady Oscar (Champion and Chevaliar from Marie-Antoinette) and Lucrezia Noin OZ uniform from Gundam Wing series as well as Eowyn from the Lord of the Rings. Probably mourning dress, since my fingers and back dislike the idea of embroidering so much, again.

"enjoy", unfortunately, is a big word. I enjoyed the presence of the people present and the travelling, I enjoyed conversating with folks,and having a good time with them.

But the con itself? No. As I already stated at the journal of the lady :iconlavender-traces: there were too many cons versus too few pros. Some of these points the staff can hopefully use to make some change for the best, but at fora these are already pointed out, so there's no point in repeating that.

Next year, no Tsunacon for me. I want something in return for my money spend, and not this.

Gaaahhhh lucky you for going to Tsunacon! I had a very busy last week (or month, lol) and thought going to Tsunacon would finally relieve me from some stress. But there I was with my friend, queueing on friday for tickets... Were there about 3 hours in advance, waited for a total of more then for 4 hours, but no tickets left T_T If it had been fair, we would have had, but there were a lot of people jumping the queue... What can you do about it? :tears:
We spend our weekend making photo's instead. It was so freezing. I'd rather have gone to Tsunacon D:

Oh dear, such impolite folks to spoil the fun for others. How rude and unfriendly. I do hope you have had a good time though, shopping in Rotterdam and the following weekend. I've seen your photos, how lovely! Nice outfits and indepth research about the characters, nations and civilisations, very well done!

Indeed, it wasn't any warmer at Tsunacon, and lucky? Well... you might want to reconsider going there. It was too crowded, too small of space and too few things to do. Prices of food too costly and to be honest, I want something in return for my money spend. Though I understand the staff wants to make some sort of profit or at least, get more money than spend at the location, food, guards, etc, itself. Yet I want something in return for paid favours as well,such as cheaper food and drinks, more to do, etc. Therefore I won't join the fourth year, as far as I'm concerned.

You don't want gnawed brownies sweetheart ^^; you'd fall ill in that case...

Next time, I'll protect the brownies with my life! Besides... we're getting a new stove so that means more and better pastries in the future ^_^

Thank you so much! I loved your cosplay as well, sweet work, very sweet work indeed!

Ik zou het echt niet weten, het is jammer dat ieders facebook of DA schermnaam niet boven het hoofd hangt, dat zou het zoeken en identificatie makkelijker maken, maar het leven moeilijker ^^;

en? hoe vond je de con? trouwens, volgende keer: schreeuwen. Ik ben nogal dovig, dus voel je vrij om even je stem te verheffen en m'n aandacht te trekken.

ehm... er zijn niet echt handleidingen, wetten of bevelschriften tot cosplay, wees jezelf, da's het belangrijkste.

Start met een makkelijke cosplay (tenzij je al behoorlijke handwerkskills hebt, dan maakt het niet uit) en zoek een karakter dat qua gedrag en/of lichaamsverhoudingen bij je past. Ik ben begonnen met Cissnei: driedelig pak, beetje papier machee en plastic voor wapentuig en het haar paste ook bij me, dus dat scheelde een pruik. Lekker makkelijk, lekker simpel. Er zijn genoeg cosplay groups op DA die je van informatie kunnen voorzien, daarnaast kan je misschien wat met [link] voor gratis patronen en skills, en dan is er nog [link] waar je tips en instructies kan vinden voor bijvoorbeeld houtbewerking (hoogst gewaardeerd in cosplay-land) papier mache (niet echt gewaardeerd) en foam van [link] voor props.

Je zou :iconaquaassassin: kunnen raadplegen voor meer informatie over o.a. pruiken en het stylen ervan (reactietijd niet snel), en ik kan je eventueel helpen met make-up. (reactietijd eveneens niet erg snel) Wel veel informatie.

Het belangrijkste: het hoeft niet perfect. Liefst wel accuraat, of accuraat benaderend. Zij die vinden dat het beter moet, mogen het zelf beter doen (en dat kunnen ze 9 van de 10 keer niet)

als laatste: elke cosplayer is begonnen met nul komma niks aan skills, kostuums en hoe zich in te leven of gedragen. het is dus niet erg om met nul komma niks te starten. Zolang je maar groeit in je kostuums en skills. (trouwens: kopen mag ook, alleen zelfgemaakt geniet bij velen meer waardering)

Ik zou zeggen: zoek wat DA groups voor cosplay skills en tips :iconcosplay-tips: kan je mee starten, maar ook bijvoorbeeld groups voor korsetten, kostuums of andere zaken. Doe onderzoek naar je karakter (houding, gedrag, kleding, outfit, etc) en maak er wat moois van. (maar één laatste ding: gebruik GEEN FREE HUGS bordjes. die zijn gehaat...Free tentacle rape bij de heren om de een of andere reden niet... ik vraag me af waarom...*peinst* )
