Otakon! woo!

Comin' at you from Otakon in Baltimore's inner harbor!

Jessy and Shannon as June and Marcy from Katamari Damacy!


Wow. Our costumes were a smash hit. I think my picture was taken more in three hours than it has been in my entire life. Amazing! We only came back to the hotel because our shoes *suck* so badly. We'll be back out tomorrow but there will be birkenstocks hidden in our heads. I also want to get more pictures of us together. This is about the coolest thing I think I've ever done in my entire life. I had so much fun this morning! I'd have loved to stay out all day save for the shoe situation. Definitely be around longer tomorrow I think.

I love Otakon. Where else can you spend the morning wandering around with a huge pill on your head, go back to a hotel room that costs as much as a plane ticket to san francisco to eat pasta salad with chopsticks, and then go right back out again as a "normal" person? God this is so fun! Cosplay is addictive.

Rolling on down to Baltimore

June is ready to roll:)

Just about to leave my house. Will probably be blogging from the con itself too but wow am I excited!

I'm still amazed at how well it came out. Particularly since this is the first time I'd used a sewing machine since the mandatory sewing class in eighth grade.

gah! so excited!

current picture of me

 
I was attempting to take a picture of myself today for use as an icon for the larp. My character is way more badass than I am and I don't think the picture really works for her, but I kind of like it anyway. I don't think it looks like me at all, but then pictures never do. I may still use it as an icon for Emily Moore. feh.

Looking at it some more and I still can't decide whether I like it or not. The shadow under the chin gives it a strange division in the middle and I kind of hoped the cross would come out a bit clearer than it did. Also, I'm making kind of a weird face. Still, it's better than most of the pictures I have of myself, so I guess that must count for something.
