Here are some photos I took of Mandy and Matt in their Captain Harlock and Queen Emeraldas outfits. This shoot was challenging because it was cold and snowy outside and I was in fishnet stockings. :)

I didn't forget about the photoblog, I just haven't been taking and processing many. This weekend I've forced myself to go through a lot of photos of me and a lot I've taken. So here's a big batch from Amanda's surprise bridal shower! We threw it for her at Dragoncon 2008 and it was a lot of fun.

I didn't do much editing on these because they are more for the memories than the beauty of the shots. Also a big portion were taken by Michael, not me! Confusing isn't it?

Update!

Just a quick post to say that things are finally shaping up here. I will be attending MomoCon 2009 as a cosplay guest so I needed to update the site a bit. New bio coming tomorrow but for now here are the updated Collections pages.

Airmaster Shoot

So slowly trying to go through old photoshoots, mainly for the benefit of our cosplay website www.wego4kyo.com. This photoshoot of Kichara has been waiting for a long time! The natural light was so good that I barely had to tweak these photos. I am really happy with how they came out.

If you like the idea of women actually fighting and kicking butt, you should watch the anime Airmaster. It is a hardcore fighting show that is seriously underrated! I love that kind of action stuff.

Mina: Post Surgery

Some sad news in our household: our beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback Mina has been battling with mast cell tumors for about six months now. This comes as a shock because we have been running many tests on her that were all coming back negative; it seemed like the worst case would be a side effect to some medicine that she had been taking. But last Tuesday we received word that she is going to die very soon. This is especially heartbreaking because she is fairly young for it to be this severe (six years old).

These photos are from after she had a small mole removed from her side. It is painful to me to see them now when she is actually in mortal danger, but I love to take photos of Mina and especially now want to preserve what makes her a special member of our family.

Halloween Party 2008

So we had a little Halloween celebration this year, costumes required. The result of that was me dressing up at least 5 people (Gerald, Daryl, Clarissa, Lily and Alex) in random things from my cosplay crap. :D

For laughs, I actually changed my costume 3 times over the duration of the night. The wizard costume was brought by Brian and Laina and featured in a pornographic Wizard porn. I refused to put the beard on my face, considering that I'm not sure exactly how many other people have worn it. Not to mention I was thoroughly amused by an entire new concept of "neck beard".

More pictures of everyone from the night. I think Gerald ended up being a Train Conductor rapist by the end of the night. Clarissa wore my Wizard-chan outfit that I made for the Wizard party. Sosa was the ghost of 1976, with hilariously large eyeholes. Andrea started out as some kawaii elf girl, then changed into Officer Jenny, catching Lily/Mudkip on the stairs of my place. And Alina, Laina, Brian and Nikki were random pirate girl(?), B.B.Hood, Piccolo and Sakura, respectively.

Laina and I had a potions lab, making potions for "Being Not a Slut", "Getting a Smaller Penis", "Becoming Last Attractive", and "Mustache Removal". The ending joke about it all was that I switched out the potions that Laina made over the sink with bizarre-flavored Jones sodas, including Candy Corn, Vampire Berry, Candy Cane and Christmas Tree. Unfortunately, my favorite part of the potion-making session, where Laina asks for my help in developing a potion and I just scream for no good reason at the vial she's holding. D: Still, these videos are pretty pro.

Pictures from various games from the night, including the Potion-Making Session. We also had a Post-It/Name Guessing Game where Lily was ecstatic that she was Bella Swan, and Clarissa was Lestat, which she figured out soon after I told her that her character was really gay. Other activities included "Pumpkin Dick", a Halloween version of Fluffy Bunny (which Carolann destroyed all competition at), and some strange game where we made a huge spiderweb by wrapping yarn around various limbs in a circle.

Decorations/Food from around the house.

YES, CODE CRUSH

I haven't updated this in ages, and decided to start using it more often, if anything as an update blog for my cosplay site & progress!! Previously, my cosplay site was located at miracle-shine.net, but I had hosting issues & started getting tired of that name. A few months back I purchased code-crush.org, since I've always wanted that domain and thought it would be cute for costuming as well! ♥ Especially since I want to start getting Matt, my husband, more involved. So while it's still a work in progress, our new cosplay site is up and running.

Over the past few months I've done a few new costumes, and now I'm gearing up for my favorite convention, Anime Weekend Atlanta. More on that later, for now, here are my latest accomplishments~~

Minuki / Trucy from Apollo Justice

Artbook Hachi from NANA (not new, just revamped)

Louise de la Valliere from Zero no Tsukaima

Miwako Sakurada from Paradise Kiss (Best Group @ Anime South 2007)

Street of Dreams: How Millionaires Supposedly Live

So every year my mom and I usually check out the Street of Dreams. Its an event where you pay some money (which goes to charity) and you are allowed to walk through these huge houses worth millions of dollars. I think the purpose is that it gives builders and interior designers an opportunity to find new patrons. After all, the whole house is worth millions but maybe you just want this pool that cost hundreds of thousands. I dunno, I hope I have a pool like that someday.

This time I took my camera. The photos aren't anything special but the material is pretty extravagant and cool!

Here's just a few more photos that I personally tweaked to make them a little better.

I hope I have more time to edit photos in the future, I know I'm really far behind...

The Netherlands (Lots of Photos)

Back from an academic conference and I have a lot of photos to share! I know it's been a long time since I've updated; I tried a new batch edit method for this and I'm not sure how successful it was, but i did get a lot of photos done at once. Later I will take specific ones and tweak them since I did have a few favorites that didn't respond well to the batch treatment.

This was my first time to the Netherlands, or even Europe! I had a great time though it was short and I didn't get to buy anything. Hope you like the photos; keep in mind some of the ones from Amsterdam are not for all ages!
