Captain Li Hellsing, your Cosplaying Cosmetologist here!
Wow! Today was just...where to begin?
Started my "trial" for this new office job. Secreterial/Office work is involved, also, it's 8-5. Which means I gotta wake up at 6:30, leave my house by 7:20 just to get to work. And then wait almost an hour in traffic and don't get home till 6 :/. Small sacrifice, yes, but hey, I am tired of sleeping in till noon and staying home constantly. Plus, at 11 dollars an hour, it's worth it. Weekends off too!
And right after work, I went to my parish for the Ash Wednesday mass. I loved Father Sergio's homily. He basically in context and more eloquent, spoke about sacrifice during Lent, and it hit me home for what I had posted last night. I love it when things I have though about during the week are talked through my faith. Makes me feel a bit clairvoyant in that sense xDDD
Anywho, onto our entry!
And yes! Animation on Display is less than two days! This mini convention in San Francisco's Kabuki Hotel in Japan Town is literally at the end of this week!
As I have mentioned, I have been going to less cons and less gatherings due to work and other life issues. But AoD is the one con I do go to, because it's local, and it's a nice little taste of the cosplay season to come.
I will be presenting my panel once again! This time it's different and more to show! It will be on Sunday, February 17th, at noon! Please do attend!
As for what cosplays I am bringing/premiering here's some progress pics:
First up, Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
I have cosplayed her before, for the BAC October Gathering. As much as I have a love/hate relationship with how I came up with her cosplay, I will still bring her to con for her first con appearance.
My pic of of my Pinkie Pie cosplay. Taken at Ricky's by my manager, Tina.
My idea is that Pinkie would totally wear Mardi Gras beads, and a pink tutu. She's eccentric like that ^ ^
Wig is from Arda Wigs. It's actually my first wig from them, they are a really great wig supplier! And top quality too!
Tutu was bought at Hot Topic.
I already had the leggings. As for the shirt, Eco Thrift, three dollars, my best friend Maria was kind enough to make the cutie mark out of felt and sewed them on for me :)
Now, the shoes were seven dollars at Ross. And I SUDDENLY found them. I was buying new jeans and when I went into the shoe section, they were on the floor, my size, and fit so comfy!!! I was so happy!
Here's some new progress pics of the makeup:
Nothing but pink makeup all out here! Used dark blue as a compliment for the eyes, didn't wanna look like a total clown xD
Me being a goof.
"Can I still wear the mustache?"
In reference to this xD:
Now, Rarity.
Or as I call her, "Everyone's favorite Fashionista pony!" :D
As much as I have a love for Pinkie Pie because we are so much alike. The eccentricity, being the life of the party, being goof balls and saying stupid stuff all the time, I am very much like Rarity as well. I am sassy, cute, very much into fashion (Well, being a cosmetologist of course, also I have such a love affair with costume jewelry, purses, and shoes) So a lot of my friends wanted me to cosplay her first! xD Well now the time has come.
Progress pics!
Found the dress at Ross for twenty dollars! Such a steal! It's one sleeved and lace :)
The necklace is Vivienne Westwood that I got for my birthday, earrings will be Vivienne Westwood too!
Wig is from Arda as well.
As for the shoes, I do not have a pic of them, but I will when the cosplay is done. I got them on eBay for twenty dollars, and they are a three inch suede purple stilettos! God I love them!
And yes, I am going all out designer for Rarity. I even have a cute white Coach Bag to go with this cosplay ^ ^
And now, progress pics of the makeup before I head off to bed!
This makeup was very fun to do! I love how soft and cute it is!
Typical "Myspace Bathroom Photo", yes that is a Rarity shirt, it says "Oh it is ON!" and a MLP Phone case
Pony Swag!!! xD
Can't wait to see you all at the con!
Much Love! And Goodnight!
