PGSM Photoshoot November 2009

Hello Moonies,

It has been two years since we've last been together in our Sailor Fuukus. I have been thinking about this (and planning to) but I never got around to actually doing something about it.

So anyway, who is up for a reunion photoshoot this coming November?

Cosplayers:

Geomie - Sailor Moon

Joy - Sailor Mercury

Wryan - Sailor Mercury

Tintin - Sailor Venus

Looking for Sailor Jupiter (may costume na magsusuot nalang)

Looking for Sailor Luna (also with costume, magsusuot lang )

Looking for Tuxedo Kamen (with costume rin, isusuot lang)

Tentative cosplayers: please confirm if pwede kau :D

Mary Ann - Queen Beryl

Damien - Kunzite

If there are repairs on the costumes, especially accessories, do let me know so I can have them fixed or make new ones! PLEASE GIVE THEM TO ME FOR REPAIR OR RE-MAKE BY SEPTEMBER.

Photographers:

Ayafreya

Possible date:

November 7 - Saturday

November 8 - Sunday

November 14 - Saturday

November 15 - Sunday

Possible locations:

UP Lagoon area

UP parking lots

First I want to do a forest scene for Mars (first transformation), and then Mercury rin, and also Jupiter (finding the inner senshi power). I think forest scenes are also good for all senshies. And then UP parking lots for most poses. Marami naman dun places di ba? ha ha

Please suggest other dates and venues na pwede.

Also looking for photographers, please refer me dun sa may gusto sumali.

Post lang kayo heheh :D

Magic Knights!

I DO NOT KNOW WHY but for some reason I have been staring at this particular image from the Magic Knight Rayearth series.  Maybe I like the border designs, the colors? The way the characters where positioned? And because all three are matching together? The art style? I know I have been a fan of Clamp art. I have Chobit's "For Your Eyes Only" artbook which I bought two Christmases ago. But... there is something....



Cosplay ideas perhaps? But really. Oh I don't know. I still have Presea's unfinished costume. Surely I can't be thinking of cosplaying any from the girls... am I? Or maybe that's it. I do want to cosplay one of the girls. I just don't know which one. Or. I want all the three, I fear.

LOLZ. I am going insane.

Ozine Day 2 Experience | Celestia cosplay

LAST APRIL 4, 2009 I WENT TO Ozine Fest Day 2 as part of the Shining Tears X Wind group for the cosplay contest. I was running late that afternoon because I was still working on my costume in the morning, which was still half-way done and some parts missing. Besides my costume, I had to attend to Cozy and make sure everything she needs for the day were prepared and taken cared of. Yaya Cila had not returned yet. Also, it was the same day as my sister's graduation and I have been torn for a few days on how to handle both events in one day. My sister was in a good mood and allowed me to attend the cosplay event in the afternoon, and then just join them for her graduation dinner at night. She also helped me with some parts of my costume, and accompanied me at while I stayed up sewing the bra (while watching Twilight at the same time - reason why I couldn't focus on my sewing ~.~)

I was stressed and rushed that morning knowing that I still need to attach the sleeves to the shoulder rings and the robe together. I was partly exasperated. It seems to me like everything was uncooperative - even the thread in the needle won't get threaded; and the one needle gotten broken while drilling an extra hole on my sandals; and that the needles I had already threaded with green and yellow thread kept on getting misplaced. I was glad that Tita Maya volunteered to make the skirt for me while also altering some skrit/dress for my mom and other things to be tended about. It was also a good idea to wear the skirt and the bra on the way to the con. I was able to fix the fitting  - especially the bra! Just imagine if I have not fitted it first before going to the con, and it would dangerously fall off! *woo scary* There were so many things I have not been able to prepare and focus on my costume but somehow I managed to get all parts done and none missing! To think I made them by hand, well, besides the cutting of the pattern of the robe and the skirt. 

I left at about past 12:30 after lunch. I was feeling quite nervous by this time, wondering if I will be able to make it before 2PM, though from past experience I had always made it to Ortigas in one and a half hour. I received a text from Mel (who cosplayed as Karis by the way) asking about directions and informing me that there was heavy traffic along EDSA. I decided then to get off at MRT North Edsa Station and take a cab. I had no idea how bad the traffic was! The cab took a detour but still took me two hours to get to Megamall. It was a crazy ride.

I was relieved that when I got there, Mel told me that our skit will be at 5:30PM. It was a very very BIG sigh of relief!!  So I distributed the wigs for Karis, Clalaclan, and Yuuna then got dressed myself. I was to wear green contacts for the day but I wasn't able to do so in my haste to leave the house early. Well, next time I will ;) Also, my make-up was blah. I don't even have any green eye shadow to at least make my eyes look green.

This is the first time I cosplayed alone, by myself, without my close friends, nor family, not even Tim. It had to do with the date. My parents are here but at my sister's graduation; Tim has work; close friends at the E-Games Domination event (hmmm next time I'll make an EG character costume har!). Even so, I still went knowing that I won't have my usual "PA"s. It was an experience and a challenge I wanted to try out and see if it works for me. It wasn't like I was a total loner. Aya was there and cosplayed as Houmei. She was the one who invited me to the group, and is very nice and supportive~ Actually, we get along very very well when it comes to cosplay secrecy and wigs.

I know I have looked so distant and quiet. [ Sorry guys T~T ] I am not snobbish or anything, just a bit overwhelmed with a new big group. It has been a long while since I cosplayed and part of a group. [ But me likes you all~ ] Just that. I know Aya introduced each member, but it's my problem with name-face recognition thing. So, I keep looking at the photos from the event and hoped that the names I associated with the faces are correct. And the next time I meet them, either at a con or elsewhere, I wouldn't be "snobbing" because I forgot their name+face.

We stayed mostly in a more secluded and quieter place afar from Megatrade Hall, and only went to the venue proper when it was about time for the Group Cosplay Competition. I noticed that not a lot of people recognized us but it is alright. We all looked good together and had so much fun, though I didn't talk that much. I am shy lolz.  I couldn't say much about the event proper for I had no time to wander about and look at the booths and observe con goers and cosplayers alike as I used to. Heck, I didn't even get to see other cosplayers until it was time for the skit ha ha, but on stage, I did notice there was still a big crowd gathered to watch cosplayers do their thing, and that is wonderful enough despite rising cosplay-related and event issues. Such spirited enthusiasts!

Alright, enough with the talk. Let's proceed with the photos~! TEH PHOTO TIEMS NAO!

My costume needs some minor alterations. Mostly tightening the fitting and making the straps more secure. I will discuss the details more on a later post. Right now I just can't believe how long it took me to make this post. Four hours. @_@
