Marzana (War of Genesis 3) @ Otakon 2008

Neoqueenhoneybee and I got back into WoG3!

Oh, man. Marzana shows more chest than I have ever shown before so I was all wrapped up in my cape for most of the time I wore this.

And wig fail! I couldn't keep the wig on my head when I attached the giant gravity defying ponytail so I had to go without.

Costume-wise, I was very happy with it! The pleather, though, does need some sort of lining...

I tried out the competition. I knew I wouldn't win with an unfinished costume but the experience was eye-opening! Definitely interesting but I was so cold during the masq. Eh heh heh...


I do plan on remaking Marzana for a desert shoot sometime in 2012. Looking forward to it, in fact!

Toshiko Sato (Torchwood) @ Otakon 2008

Closet cosplay! I really like Doctor Who and it's spin offs and my hair looked about right, so why not throw on a top, jeans, and black boots and join the Torchwood crew?

Oh yes, spoiler. Sorry.

Florina (Fire Emblem) @ Otakon 2008

I tried out the foamie armor thing but I totally fail at armor! I was pretty happy with the way the wig turned out. (I cut the bangs and curled them.) And the boot covers came out pretty nicely too.

Florina cosplay (aside from armor) was very comfortable and the most comfortable thing is that I can totally be in character by being myself.
