As Fanime gets ever so much closer I know that a lot of you (like me) have TONS of stuff to work on cosplay-wise! So what are you guys working on? Do you have everything you need? Will you be able to finish in time?
I'm taking 6 costumes, two of which are completely done, two are about 80% done, one is my masquerade costume (which is no where NEAR being done... lolol), and one I barely started xD';.
I also have to style a complicated wig for my friend and help my other friend make her masquerade costume... ^^';
ahhhhhhh~
ACK!!!! Can't find for my Dawn hat!!! x.x
I had to order a new one yesterday and have it shipped to my bf's place in San Jose. Hopefully, it will get there this week. Luckily, we're commuting from his house and to the convention.
I'm still trying to pack everything and print out my boarding passes
I still need to figure out if I should just take a taxi to my hotel or what
x_x
It doesn't help that I have to work in about two hours and won't get any sleep for my flight tomorrow..
thats another thing i've never flown on a plane before so i'll be totally lost
XD
I've already dropped one of my cosplays due to lack of time *shakes fist at work*, but I'm still pushing up to the last minute. I've got finishing work on my sister's white shinigami kosode, and the entirety of the black one, and about half the work left on the zanpakutou for my Unohana cosplay.
And work from 7:00 to 4:30 or later today and tomorrow, and we're leaving to drive up earlyish on Friday, so no time then.
Right, panic mode. D: D: D:
Last couple night I had to study for my final exams, so I didn't do a lot on the costumes. I have to drop the headband for my new lolita dress, but I will get it on dealer hall. I was lucky. I Finished my lenalee cosplay. My mom was screaming at me because I asked her to fix my cosplay last night. I am leaving today afternoon to SF. Yes, I printed out the boarding pass. Hopefully everything be fine. Nothing be throwing out of the plane due to security system like last year when all my hairspray and hair color got throw out because I came to the airport late, couldn't check in my luggage.
I am still at work. I want to get out so bad. Just want to get on the plane. And everything be a-okay.
I haven't practiced my karaoke songs yet.... Shoootttt.....
My boyfriend is still working on his wig..... this is like cramping...
Still trying to find some decent toy guns ack >.<
One done costume means no darn stress~
Maybe next year I'll do two cosplays. :\
*Crunch crunch crunch* Oh sorry, that was my Crunch Bar. Yeah feeling the ultiamte stress looking for my boots D:
I feel ready all I need is to print out stuff and get food.
oh god i am feeling the crunch time >< luckily my two Bleach costumes have been done for some time now, its my last two i need to work on:
Matt (Death Note) - everything is done but the vest. needs the fur trim and sewed up.
Yun (Street Fighter) - this needs most work. gloves need tidying, top hasn't been made yet, still looking for a hat to modify.
oh yeah and i have to style a wig for Renji DX
I was lucky to find a pair of overalls for the spare Kasumi outfit. :)
But it needed allot of doctoring :-X
I decided to not do a new cosplay this year, so I'm stress-free.
Currently in the middle of packing and making sure that I don't forget anything.
Gosh I found some long gloves finally >.> *Has to pay Mello back for buying them for me* But most of my cosplays are finished <.< exsept for my Dark link, I need to finish my straps to hold my sword on my back Dx but other then that I am sure I am pretty much done O_O
*Has to help my friends with their cosplays* >.>
I still have to do a final check for four of my five costumes and make sure that I've got all the pieces and that they're all in good shape, then pack them. The last one....*runs around like a headless chicken* I've still got spray-painting to do, padding to add, and leg warmer things to make. As well as run around trying to find a wig, because a week and a half after I order the wig, I get told they don't have it in stock. Yippee. And I have to find a wig for my sister as well, and will probably need to cut and style that. All before 4 PM tomorrow. /o/;;
So yeah, I'm feeling the stress ^^ I've already scrapped pants and went with ones I've already got (my rotary cutter broke, leaving me with some /very/ jagged edges in terms of my fabric pieces for the pants), and.....had totally forgotten about a pin and ring I need to make until just this minute. WHOOPS.
I have to do research for my 26 photoshoots, look at my schedule, prepare my model releases, check my equipment, and double check that I packed all my costumes.
All tonight.
Doesn't help that I work 8AM to 7PM on a daily basis counting commute.
Indeed I am also feeling the crunchness of time >.<; My other akatsuki coat still needs to be done, hopefully by tomorrow. Then on my Akito cosplay which is almost done, easy to sew. It's actually driving me insane xD I also need more ribbons for my chii cosplay so I will get to that tomorrow. If I don't get at least one done, then I will have to probably bring my sewing utensils to my hotel room lol. STRESS ARGH! xP
OMG totally! I've been stressing all week about getting my Scythe ready for my Marluxia cosplay. X(
It's almost finished...*dies*
Definitely feeling the stress. Though my poor boyfriend is in worst condition. 4 all nighters in a row; working on costumes. I'm just as bad as him. I'm working on the same costume with no end. I'm the one that will be sleeping more because I'm driving. So at least I'll get a few hours of good sleep. Unfortunately, I tend to miss out on the first day of the con due to lack of sleep. I tell myself I'll break out of this habit. Every year at Fanime it is the same.

and this is why i wait at least 48-72 hours before the con to get my stuff ready; see ya tomorrow, mel.
I've been running around like a nut trying to get things finished today. ^^; I finally found the right boots and thigh-highs to complete my cosplay after hours and hours of craziness and useless salespeople.
Well, I FINALLY finished Robin's pendant today. (As finished as it will ever get, in any case. :P) I still need to finish the wings for my OC's boots, but I'm wondering if I should wait to finish them once I get to the hotel (to save room in the car on the trip down). Oh well. They'll get done eventually.
At this point I'm just hoping I won't forget something important by the time I leave. XD (I swear, I'll be going over the checklist the whole night before.)
I STILL NEED A TIE!! DX My group's outfits are nearly done, thank goodness we're coming on Saturday so we get an extra day to prepare. Hemmed my pants today (not perfect but no one will notice :3). We need to finish fine-tuning our choreography and my friend's wig lol. The only major problem is one of our partners is at high risk for not making it ><. Thank the gawds we have a stand in. <3
