Ugh, I finally have a break starting this week. Thank Heaven. *collapses* As much fun as Metrocon was, going straight from a convention into finals for the month was insane. Oy. But 'twas good fun (except for my car breaking down >.>, and I had a blast hanging out with everyone at the con. Highlights would have to be the Jezebel Disraeli cosplayer (seriously, you made my weekend), wacky fun at the Gundam discussion panel (I think we had something like three separate discussions going on at the same time at one point), and, in one of my spazzy Grell moments, attempting to kill myself on one of Sebastian's butter knives...only to discover that it was bendy (for those of you who haven't seen Kuroshitsuji, Grell's response to pretty much anything going wrong is suicide. The results are usually hilariously full of fail). And slightly see through. The Anime Human Chess match was pretty awesome too, and really made me miss doing stage combat.

And I have decided on my next big costume project. Well, next two projects. ANYWAY. After rewatching Romeo x Juliet, I've decided on cosplaying the Red Whirlwind ([link]). I love all of Juliet's costumes, but this has to be my favorite. I mean, Musketeer hat and a big red cape? How can I pass that up? I'm also still planning on doing Sabriel from Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy, but that one's going to be more difficult. I still haven't figured out how I'm going to do the surcoat with the keys. I'd like to embroider them, since that's how it is in the book, but I've never embroidered anything before and just thinking about it makes my head hurt. I'm also having trouble finding good references for what the charter marks look like. And I'm not really sure how I'm going to make her bells yet. I'm thinking super sculpy, but we'll see.

Aaaand now I need to go finish cleaning my room.
