Shoots! and...Japan! 8D

Journal Entry: Sun Dec 18, 2011, 4:26 AM
UWAAAHH I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T WRITTEN A JOURNAL IN AGES T____T;;  Hello to new watchers!! I had meant to make a post when I got to 2000 watchers, but that passed in a flash a while back LOL...woops 8"D Anyway~~ to the 2100 or so of you, hello hello hello! :love: I have no idea where you all come from, and am constantly surprised that people will visit this page *3* :heart:

My last journal was...after Halloween while I was still in exam block...LOL OTL...
Well, I finished exams! XD; And since then have been churning out shoots and trying to get back some semblance of a social life, before going overseas!
Before exams finished though, I took a day out of study to go to Supanova in Brisbane!
Cosed Starish with :iconkaguyaxhime:

Got to see so many fabulous people~! :love: I wish I could have gone to the whole weekend though, felt so sad and lonely going home and studying while everyone else was having fun ;;;___________________;;; /mopes in a corner

Then came the shoots! 8D  I apologise for not having lovely (HURR XD) outtake photos from most of these...truth is, my giant harddrive on which I stored all my cos photos crashed...so I have no photos of anything anymore T_____________________________T
:iconotlplz:
I had just shifted them all into the one place, and was going to buy a new one that day and back them all up...and it died. omg. I just...don't have words =___= ALL OF MY TEARS ;A; I really really hope someone can recover the files ;;_________;; *sobbing*

ANYWAY~
First after exams was Natsuno from Shiki~~ hand carved myself a stake for the shoot OHOHO~ >D

Shooting in the forest was really cool in terms of the atmosphere we got...but we all got sooooo bitten by bugs D8 I could still feel them crawling on me hours and hours later I swear OTL

Photo set is here - [link]

Then I did two shoots in one day, with ~JKale as photog and ~raspipop helping ^o^
First up was Tsuzuki from Yami no Matsuei

The next week ~kaguyaxhime and I roped LdevJkale: into shooting 3 UtaPri versions in one day!! =D SO MUCH FUN WHEEEEE~~

From Dec 2-5 I was in Sydney! 8D Went down to see friends, and go to the Cosplay Revolution photography exhibition, run by :iconaramis01:, and held in the Powerhouse museum. The exhibition was heaps of fun! It was great to see our pictures displayed like in a gallery :XD:

The absolute highlight of the weekend was going to the HARRY POTTER EXHIBITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! :love::love::love::love::love: IT WAS FABULOUS. UTTERLY FABULOUS. THE END.

WHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~

We weren't allowed to take photos in the exhibition, and all my photos from the trip have vanished on my HD...lol...so have a random picture of me wearing my Slytherin scarf in the airport about to fly home! :XD:

(yes that's my real hair, for those who have been asking what it looks like ^_^)

While I was in Syd I also had the opportunity to shoot with the gorgeous :iconbreathless-ness: and cos Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi! :heart: I'm so glad people liked the pic I uploaded here from that set *3*
We got to shoot first in this cute little bookstore~~ which was kinda...awkward for intimate poses?? 8'D but the dude working there didn't actually seem to care at all so MEH XD;;

Once I got back to Brisbane, the weather was all cool and rainy~ in fact I'm sitting here wearing a jumper and Slytherin scarf right now - which is weird because it's summer over here! It's so nice and cool it's fabulous! =D
Went out for a spur of the moment shoot in the rain with ~kaguyaxhime :heart:

My set - [link], and ~kaguyaxhime's set - [link]

Last week ~JKale and I started on the massive mountain of un-shot pair cosplays we have built up from the year, with Angel Beats!

I'm so excited to see the photos from Japan! <3 They'll be awesome. Also, I lol'd so hard at the strawberry fabric in Gintoki's jacket. xD

If you dont mind me asking what kind of camera do you use? I'm looking into getting a new one but I'm not sure which ones give the best quality.

Man, you are so amazing!! How do you manage to keep up with everything and do so many amazing costumes?! XD Love them all, though some of the series I don't know you're costumes and YOU just look great! I'd have to say your Lavi is by far one of my all time favourites EVAHR. Out of everything/everyone XD Keep up the great work! <3

Aww that's a shame, you suit him really well. At least that'll leave room for all your other new characters! :D I'll be looking forward to whatever costumes you're doing :D
