"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself!" Andy Warhol
These words in the land of Cosplay mean a lot when thought about, and it is in my mind that if i can change one persons view of costuming from being the cliche "geek thing" to being something that helps people to express themselves, then i believe i have completed my perpose.

Sorry Sorry! It's My Time Again!



Well as most people know im absolutely obsessed with Super Junior! And so my obsession has led me to blog a small section about them. Today is a very special day for all E.L.F's (Ever Lasting Friends aka Super Junior Fans) as at 1:00am (GMT) or 10:00am (Korean Time) Super Junior are releasing their title single "Miinah (Beauty)" and then in 3 days time they are releasing their 4th album "Bonomana". Now dont get me wrong im completely Estatic about this, and have been on a Suju binge for like 2 weeks. But a little part of me is sad, as only 10 of the members participated in this album due to Kangin goin to the army and with his driving offence, Kibum working on his acting skills more, and the whole drama of Hangeng and the court case with SMEntertainment, but another part of me saw all this coming due to the fact the three mentioned havent done any promotions,concerts or even been in the news recently. Ah you all might be thinking "Why is she saying sorry sorry for?".. well the 3rd album of Suju's and their biggest hit so far was called "Sorry, Sorry" so all the fans/elf's got together and made the slogan "Sorry Sorry! It's Their Time Again!" which is baisically meaning that Suju will take the number 1 place again for many more months to come >< size="3"> post the link up on here, and be happy Squeeing all night.



!~ COSPLAY AND EXPO~!

Yippee well what can i say im so very excited! who wouldnt be? >< i have been asked by my good old friend to do a expo blog, well she put the idea out there and i said i would like to do it. so when expo is over i will be blogging about my three days in london starting from the Friday 28th - the Sunday 30th. Another good anouncement to make is the fact that myself and the Howls Moving Castle Group, Lee, and dad have been accepted into the Sunday Masquerade of the London MCM Expo... so if anyone gets any videos or pictures please do send them to me :)


Gizmo - Gremlins (100% Complete)
Well i finished off the whole suit a while back, and just finished off the stupid little things like making braces for the frousers, and sewing on some velcro to the bottoms of the trousers and to the top of the boots/feet. We had a dummy run and everything looked ace! So please if you see Gizmo please be a little careful as he is a little fragile, but he is always up for hugs!!
(Dad will be in Gizmo! and will be on the Sunday Masquerade!)


Cursed Howl - Howls Moving Castle (100% Complete)
I had completed the costume a while back aswell, but the only thing i had to do was just plump out the wings a little more with some fabric feathers. I also had to add loads more feathers to my back brace/harness, but luckily nothing major was need to be done. I have been doin some different styles of make up, but am really just waiting on Jazzy to find his red contact lenses, which i think will just set the whole costume off well. I even got boared one day and made a mini Calcifer which will be velcro'd to my costume so im hands free. Again this costume is VERY fragile, so if u want to hug, by all means do but please no glomping me.
( I will be in Cursed Howl! and will also be in the Sunday Masquerade along with my Howls Moving Castle Group)

The Baron - The Cat Returns (100% Complete)
yay! One cosplay im happy to be done with, to be honest there wasnt alot to do with him, just a few tweeks. Worst part of doing this costume was the hat, it was a nightmare to finish, if i could change anything on it, it would be the weight of the head, i think i might shave some more foam from the mouth area so lee can breathe a little, oh i also added some wiskers which arnt in the picture unfortunately. Please take no notice of the trousers or shirt he is wearing in the picture. On the day he will have black suit trousers and a crisp white shirt, along with a red bow tie! (Lee will be in The Barron! and will be in the Sunday Masquerade)




Male Na'Vi - Avatar (98% Complete)
Yes, still some painting to do but that will be done the wednesday before expo. I know own all the accessories needed for him, he has a loin cloth and his hair is 100 times better than it was before.
I also have given him some eyes, its now just a quick paint up and then he will be ready, the only one not complete!

(Jazzy will be wearing the Na'Vi costume)



Butterfly Fairy - Own Character (100% Complete)
Mum isnt really into anime characters but really wanted to cosplay something. At first we was goin to do her as my own steampunk character Excelda Gastra, but she couldnt give the attitude needed for her, so i created a different character. Mum wanted something lolita-ish so i heavily modified a old dress we had, aswell as added loads of netting and lace, with a theme of butterfies. We dont have any pictures of mum in the costume as she wants it to be a suprise, but i have a picture of her staff i designed and made especially for her character.
(Mum will be wearing the Butterfly Fairy Costume)


Well there you go. If you see any of us walking around, please dont hesitate to come over and say hello, tho i will say i wont know every one of you from face looks as i have many followers on many sites and cannot keep track, so if i look puzzled at any point please dont be offended. Tho i do have one request, and that is that could you possibly sow a little respect, not just to these costumes here, but to everybody at the Expo, and not over glomp people. A simple hug is acceptable, but to run and jump around them is very annoying, especially when something you have been working on for over a year suddenly gets broken because someone has run into you.

Anyway, enough of that. This will possibly be my last update before expo, might do one just before we leave on the friday, but until then i look forward to seeing you.
again if u want to ge tin contact there is all my info on the right hand side.
