It's been a whirlwind year and won't let up! Anime Weekend Atlanta was AMAZING this time, wish I had had the time to take photos and write up a report about it. It is one of my favorite cons and a great place for cosplayers to show off their craftsmanship! Be there next year!

Next up for me is New York Comic Con, the last big US con of the year! It is a 4-day show and my cosplay line up for the event is as follows:

Yes I am debuting another new cosplay - from the Marvel Universe so watch out! Most of these costumes I'm bringing for various photoshoots so I'll be cosplaying all weekend. Might even bring more cosplays just for fun. :) When I am wearing what will depend on the photographers' and locations available so I'm afraid you'll just have to come by my booth each day to see which character I'm dressed at haha!

I'll have a booth inside the exhibitor hall - booth #379. My full line of cosplay products as well as photo prints will be available at the booth. I've stocked up on pony accessories especially so let's hope we don't run out.

I look forward to seeing many many of you in the Big Apple! don't be shy, come and say hi! ^_~

I also will most likely pack a couple of extra fun costumes like the Absinthe Fairy, just in case the mood strikes right. As you can see, nothing too crazy this year, just want to party and geek out to my favorite fandoms!

SDCC was the best ever this year - I cosplayed every day and debuted three new costumes successfully, got to hang out with good friends, meet some new ones, and had a couple of once in a lifetime opportunities come my way. I really couldn't have asked for a better time, except maybe that my feet were shredded by Sunday of Comic Con lol. Too much walking, dancing and posing in heels.

I want to write up a real report with photos illustrating the weekend but that's gonna take hours, and right now I just don't have that time. Otakuthon in Montreal is coming up next weekend, I'm flying to Germany again (more shopping with mom? :D), I got a cosplay event in NYC in a couple of weeks and three costumes to make for Dragoncon. But I'm gonna take an evening to share SDCC photos, promised!

For now I got to update this website a little, with two new costume galleries:

and

 Also have a couple of Deviant Art Preview pics of newly debuted cosplays! More goodies coming soon so stay tuned!

I've been too busy making costumes, getting through AX and getting over being sick to update this journal. But I'm taking these 10 min to do it right now, rawwr! Thought I'd post my San Diego Comic Con schedule since SDCC is the only convention where I am not chained to a booth so I'm ready to go nuts! Costumes I'm bringing:

New costumes:
Daenerys - in the planning stages for almost a decade! My favorite character in my favorite book series. She has helped gotten me through some rough moments in my life. The ultimate strong female. I can't even begin to describe how much I love Dany. This is the year to finally make it happen, with the Game of Thrones TV show exploding all over the world, and with the fifth book coming out, and with George himself and the throne being at SDCC. My mission is to get a photo on the throne (just gotta sit my butt down in it for 1 picture!!!), and dear Gawd I hope so, meet the man himself while in costume.
I've been collecting materials all year and started on the costume about 10 days ago. I really hope it will look good ;_;... Of course I didn't get to do everything I planned on, but at Dragoncon on Friday we're doing a whole group so I can add details to the outfit for then.

Sif - I love red costumes I've discovered. It's a good color on me and I like sewing scarlet fabric lol. Plus Lady Sif is badass! I was a bit disappointed in the Thor movie and Sif in it, so I went for the comic book version. All that fur will be hawt in July weather but I don't care!

Amber - since the first preview images came out for Sucker Punch I have been told to make Amber by various friends, and I said EFF YES! LOVE the fighter pilot look. Actually, I liked the movie, too! Been working on her diligently and trying to nail down all the details. I love that my prop sourcing included buying candy lol.
Will be with Monique as Baby Doll at SDCC, and hoping for a full group at Dragoncon. Who is still doing it there???

Con schedule:

Wednesday: Flying in for Preview Night - no costumes of course, just going to drool over the new goodies on display!

          no costumes in the afternoon as I want to SHOP!

Saturday: Sif from Thor, 1pm judging the costume contest at Marvel booth,

Sunday: No costumes, gotta head back home since Otakon is the following weekend (egads!)

I'll also be modeling at the Lucas Film party and rocking it out at various other parties at night. I'm also supposed to be in the Morgan Spurlock documentary about Comic Con but who knows how they cut and edited the footage they shot of me last year... lol.

Since I have three new costumes, I am open for photoshoots and groups if they line up time wise. I'm very excited to see old friends, go shopping, eat great food and geek out at the mecca of the fandom world!

I am happy to announce that I have come to a settlement agreement with Happy Sun Enterprises, after suing them for copyright infringement in August 2010.

While I can't disclose the terms of the agreement, I am very glad the whole ordeal is over, and that HSE will not sell their remaining cat ear products, which are substantially similar to my copyright protected cat ears.
