TEH WORD OF SHI

Yay! i got these shoes for 1000Y

nothing wrong with them at all. Pretty sure NO ONE IN JAPAN HAS FEET THAT LARGE. ( me being size 10 AU)

Oh SHIT

Lol

I don't have a costume.

Something simple cheap and easy plz XD

BTW I have tonnes of chinese brocade, FROM CHINA

What are your usual matieral shops Melbournites?

Just done the road from me is the biggest Spotlight so I frequent there, but often they're a bit meh.
I like going to Sydney Rd too.
I have also found a place in heildberg that had some lovely fabrics at a great cost ;D
In Lilydale there are a couple places too.

How COOL would it be if I could find a shop that had like pure velvet that was like $5 a metre or super heavy satin XD I know I know.

You get what you pay =)

I find little shops are a bit better then large chains cause I dunno, just different stock I suppose. I got green velvet (rayon) for Suiseiseki (omg i loved that cosplay <3) and that was $15. I was determined to use THAT fabric but Spotlight had it for $30, so THERE YOU GO.
 

Place in Lilydale I got silver lycra for $3 a metre! I haven't used it XD
 

And for Belle!

I could not find THAT COLOUR ANYWHERE!!!!!! I was SO angry. So I went to some fabric store on Sydney Rd and they had the best colour but it was super shiney, so I revered it XD I was happy with that cosplay.

What are your opinions?
 

Hey ,

Won't take long!! Entered a comp and need the votes!!

thanks!!

How long should I spend in Osaka and Kyoto? XD

This is the VERY ROUGH plan of action!!

Arrive Tokyo.
Spend a few days "exploring the sites" (thats what chris said)
Tokyo to Osaka or Kyoto (depends which one I feel like)
Osaka/Kyoto to Okinawa ....LOL if Chris doesn't want to fork out the dough for plane trip =3 we will prob just go to Nagaski.
Okinawa/Nagasaki back to Kyoto/Osaka
All the way up to Nagano
Nagano on to Hokkaido (yes, chris wants to go there FUKKEN COLD)
Hokkaido back to Tokyo.

All of the above may have stop overs. Esp Hokkaido. 10 hours from Tokyo!

What do you guys think?
I think i will spend more time in Kyoto than Osaka. But they are so close together!
I arrive Dec 27th and leave Jan 23rd.

I think 7 or 6 days in Tokyo on the end of the trip would be nice and relaxing. DISNEYYYYLANNNDD. I dont really want to have any plans, just roam around and enjoy! Plus I can always just take the Shink somewhere! Damn you accommodation
 

********** BTW
I meant staying at BOTH Osaka and Kyoto just one city on the way there and the other on the way back. Not sure how long in both citiies though.

Wahhhh

So I have "attemtped" to start my Japan trip planning in ITENARY FORM.

chris wants to go to Okinawa and Hokkaido.....I don't know how to get there ;_;

I need to save money for my trip to Japan! Both days are pretty similar right?

the only reason I would go two days is two cosplays. Maybe I will make my Malificent and then decide. Work on her starts next week. Full on documention and sketches will be recorded. That said, I don't know who else to cosplay as!!! Maybe if I can find a cheap matieral/easy enough/awesome/geeky cosplay I will go two days.

But I think Arma is when chris's birthday is! Oh. it isn't. I just checked, its like 10 days before lol

btw I didnt know they were in Syd! lol!

Opinions?

Manifest was good.

I won "best prop" fukken lol.

People still piss me off, but love seeing my friends <3

and Chris <3

and some fuck broke my side mirror on my car

So I'm going to Chris's cousins 40th party in 2 weeks.

theme is "movie characters from the last 40 years"
Chris PLANS to go as Optimus Prime (as if) his mum Sandy from Grease, the birthday boy is going as The Joker from Dark Knight and one of chris's sister is going as Pippi Longstockings.,

I am limited for time, easyness and money.
I have three costumes I could use, Belle, Poison Ivy and Jessica Rabbit.

Chris does not want me to wear Jessica Rabbit LOL.

Any tips?
I can always use Belle as default.

Jessie - Toy Story?
Mary Poppins?
 

SO

After Av-Con (post later)

I now need to make TWO costumes, haha......any ideas?

Always worried I will forget something.

I always divide into three categories

1.Cosplay
2. Other fasion (e.g lolita)
3. Normal attire  & everything else I will need

What else will I need?
 

Yum. Singapore Airlines.

let me know ASAP , I will ring after the public holiday and see

I seriously can't stand work anymore.

I keep on fucking things up and i get no help.

I got hardly any IF any training and I get told things are wrong and not how to fix it.

So tomorrow I THINK there will be a 'talk' of me, my position etc.

When I didn't want it in the first place and didnt have a choice!

BECAUSE NO ONE BOTHERED TO TRAIN ME WHEN MY PURPOSE OF BEING THERE WAS TO BE TRAINED!

Its pretty annoying when your own staff can SEE that you're getting the shit end of the stick.

I made a previous entry, but it wasn't very helpful.

Has anyone used WONDERFLEX before? I am thinking of getting some....

I need to construct shapes, items, attachments, mechanical arms etc

so if anyone has some tips or help. I was also thinking about using craft foam?

what about helmets?

KINDA like that. NOT THAT COSTUME!!!

But in the sens that there is a body suit and things attached to it
