Hi guys!

Sorry it's been a very long time since I wrote something Maybe you can tell with the pictures in my gallery but I was very busy with my cosplays for Otakuthon and comic-con this year. It was my first time attending both of them and since they are only a month appart I had a lot of work to do. I don't really have a picture of my Jack Forst cosplay for Comic con but I guess I can manage to post a little something just to show the new staff I made for him (from wood this time!).

Again the conventions were great and we had a lot of fun! But it's already time to make the cosplays for G-anime anime... I got a month of break so I guess now I'm ready to sew again!

For G-anime this year we originally planned to have an Attack on Titan group... there were a lot of people interested too but in the end we'll be 2-4 people... I was supposed to be Sasha since I'm her exact height and for once I could be a girl, but in the end I will have to be Eren since our former Eren is not sure if he'll be going or not. My friend will be Armin and we will have someone as the armored titan to accompany us

I'll be making the one doing the sewing and my friend will be making the logos and printing I'll try to make a cape too with the logo in embrodery, we'll see if I can do better than with the Aoba jacket (the logo had taken weeks to finish on this one D: ).

My second cosplay for G-anime will be a bard moogle named Hurdy from final fantasy tactics A2. I can't wait to make the ears and pompom I never made ears before but I have my little idea on how I'll manage it. Here's a picture of him since I know he won't be familiar to everyone:
images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__c…

Aaaaaand if I have time left and enough space in my lungage, I'll be making a Link cosplay from Skyward sword. It's been so long since I wanted to cosplay him and I already have all the material so... why not? I just don't know if we can bring 2 3d manoeuver gears, a sword and a shield and a pair of one meter ears and pompom with us on the bus.. I don't really know what my 3rd cosplay could be though if it's not Link so we'll see about that later...

That's mostly it for my upcoming cosplay projects! I'll try to make tutorials or progress shots this time since I got a lot of questions about my Aoba jacket that I couldn't answer that well last time. I have no idea how I managed to make that jacket... so yeah I take pictures this time

Hi guys!!!

So G-anime is already over It went so fast! It was even better than last year.
Even though I went alone this time, I met someone on the bus and we ended up becoming friends and spending most of the weekend together.

We got there at around noon and tried our best to dress up quickly. I was cosplaying Jack Frost on Friday. I was expecting at least 5 others like me... but no I was all alone D: I was the only Jack Frost on Friday, and we were only 2 in the whole weekend of the convention! I won't complain about it though! I was asked for pictures and hugs quite often and it was a great feeling! It was my first time actually being noticed by people at a convention I do hope it won't be the last!!!

My friend attended the Noiz concert on Friday night so I went to a few panels I wanted to see while waiting for her. The dealers room wasn't open on Friday so we just ended up wandering around a bit and taking pictures of the other cosplayers.

On Saturday, things were a bit more complicated. I was cosplaying Rin Okumura and pants were too tight because of the tail and the button ended up popping out. I had to sew it back on, and the second time it popped out my friend helped me so it was able to hold until the end of the day. So we ended up showing up a bit later than what we wanted. I missed the autograph session with Pinku project... but I went to their graduation concert afterwards and it was really awesome. It was happy and sad at the same time but I think everyone really had a great time. We didn't go to the mascarade and went to a panel instead. I didn't want to sit another 3 hours in those pants to see the mascarade since I had just come out of the concert! I went to take a picture with Pinku Project but I didn't feel very 'cute' in my Rin cosplay so I was feeling awkward. English isn't my mother tongue so I was kinda nervous and only said 'thank you' to them. Berri wanted to see my elf ears but for no reason I felt like I needed to hug her (she was crying at the end of the concert ;_; ) and I left as fast as I could, feeling really socially awkward. I'm kinda afraid to see the picture now since I noticed later that my wig was a mess when it was taken Anyways, I hope they didn't think I was too weird. At the end of the day, we played Donkey Kong country on the SNES until closing time. People were stopping by to tell us we were awesome for playing that game... I found it kinda funny

On Sunday, I chose to wear Jack's cosplay again, even though my toes hadn't recovered from Friday. I just put band aids between them and wore my flip flops again. It was hurting but at least it couldn't bleed again. We went to see a panel on how to make better quality cosplays. Some things they said just confirmed what I thought before and some others were pretty useful. They told us it was important to get some professional pictures from time to time... and since my make-up was better that day, I ended up going to the photoshoot boot and asked for one. It was a fun experience I'll probably post some of them soon. There wasn't that much to do towards the end of the con so we just shopped and took some pictures. And so it ended... a bit too soon D: Now let,s prepare for Otakuthon 2013 !

I want to thank all the people who came to me, either to take a picture or just talk. I was really happy to meet new people and see friends again!
See you next year or at Otakuthon

Hi guys!

Sorry for being kind of absent for the past weeks. I'm rushing to finish my cosplays for G-anime, which is in 3 days ;_; Time goes somewhat too fast and too slow at the same time. I can't wait to get there, but at the same time I need more time to finish my cosplay I don't remember if I already said it but I'll be Jack Frost on Friday and Rin Okumura on Saturday. Sunday's cosplay is still unsure, but I guess I'll just wear the one that was the most popular or comfortable.

I don't know if any of you will be attending G-anime this year, but if you do don't hesitate to come say hi! I'll be alone this year so I'll sure be happy if anybody comes talk to me

I'll make sure to take pictures and post them here and probably on facebook too.


Have a nice day everyone !

Hi guys!
How have you all been?

So I'm finally back from Otakuthon 2012. My first impression is that it was better than last year!
We met a lot of new people and got to see old friends we hadn't seen for a long time.

I'll do a recap by days to make it easier.

Thursday was the day we went to get our passes. I dressed lolita because I found it'd be a great occasion to wear my vanilla-chan jsk. It did was really hot but I survived. We were interviewed by Cosplay in America and he took a picture of me at the end. I was posted on his facebook and had to deal with a troll But in the end it was pretty funny. She thoguht I was a guy... I'm soooo masculine in a Angelic Pretty dress 8D

On Friday we went there earlier. It was only starting at 5 PM but we went there at around 2 PM. We shopped a bit and walker around. and I were cosplaying Neku Sakuraba and Beat from The world ends with you. We were taken in picture by and by Cosplay in America again. It was a very busy day and we were very tired when it ended, Thus I forgot my Ao no Exorcist wallscroll in the bathroom and therefore lost it forever. I had to buy another one on Saturday... that's the story of how I spent 40$ for a single wallscroll

On Saturday it was VERY hot and we had big cosplays with capes and I had winter boots. I wanted to put contact lenses for my Ryner Lute cosplay but I forgot them. I had to take a 30 minutes walk to my apartment to finally discover that they had dried. I put product in them again but in the end they weren,t in good shape to be worn until late that day so I gave up. We arrived a bit late, at around 11 AM. It was very crowded and it was quite unpleasant when it is so hot. There was air conditioning but it wasn't enough. We ended up watching a few anime in the projection rooms. I discovered Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. I finished it Sunday night and enjoyed it very much! Our cosplays weren't very popular. It was sad because I had made it myself and it looked good but since the anime is not very well known we weren't taken in picture that much. We decided to do a photoshoot though and the result is kinda good. The pictures will be posted on another account, which I will mention later. After an exhausting day, we finally came back to my apartment. When I removed my boots, I saw that I had huge water blisters on my feet and it was hurting a lot.

On Sunday it was more relax. I managed to put band aids on my feet and used comfy shoes for my Neku cosplay. My other shoes had broken on Friday night so I had to take a random blue and yellow pair of shoes I  already had to replace them. We again shopped a bit and wandered around. We did another photoshoot and had a lot of fun. We went to see an orchestra. The 'orchestre de jeux vidéo' of Montréal. It was good. My camera died on me during the concert because I didn,t charge it the day before. But in the end we managed to film a lot of it. We quit at 5:30 because there wasn,t much left to do only 30 minutes before the end and we were very tired.

That's mostly it for Otakuthon 2012.

Now on to my new account. It is a common account with my friend . We will be uploading our cosplay pictures there from now on. I may put a few on my account because I like them, but not as many as on the other account.
The account is:


Hope you all enjoyed Otakuthon 2012 for the ones who went there.
Have a nice day!

Hi guysss!

It's been a while since I wrote a journal, but you may have noticed I've been a bit more active lately than I usually am.
Well something happened again in my life and I have more free time than I can possibly wish for now. Of course I'm happy because I got to work on my mystery cosplay for Otakuthon 2012 (1 month left!!!) and I got to draw a lot too.
Oh yeah, and if you can guess what anime the cosplay preview I'll be showing soon is from, I'll give you an internet cookie!

Of course, it is not normal to have that much free time when you rent an apartment alone is it?
I did quit my job a month ago. No I wasn't fired but it was as if really...
I cannot talk about the details or it would take forever to write and read.... but it seems I did -_- And there is a lot of stuff I had to let out of the story too O.o I write too much sorry Read if you have 10-15 minutes of free time

***

I had this job for 7 months where I was never secure about my hours and was always under pressure. It was in a paintings and custom framing store. My manager and big boss were always on my back trying to scare me and pushing me to my limit. I got good reviews towards the end from customers, they told how wonderful I was to my manager and the big boss without knowing who they were, but it seems that in the end they still thought I wasn't good enough for them. I was promised 30 hours a week, which I only got for some months, but it was always war to get them back when they suddenly would disappear. The girl whom was hired 3 days before me took the place of manager when the old one was transferred somewhere else. From that time things were going well, but the big boss was always on my manager's back and she was really stressed. She was taking out that stress on me almost everyday. She was rarely happy and I had to endure her character all the time. I am a very patient person when it comes to tolerance towards others, but I was still planning to quit after Otakuthon this year because I needed money for the con and the rent so I couldn't quit right away.

My boss took an unplanned vacation for a week last month. So I did my very best to make things go well when she wasn't there. For months I had been very calm and nice towards everyone and had been replacing and helping the others out almost every time they needed it. I was the one you could rely on and whom knew her stock and frames well. I don't know how they could forget everything I was doing, but it happened.

The first day I met my manager after her vacation, I found a stranger behind the desk. My manager often asked her friends to watch over the shop when she was smoking outside so I thought it was her friend. Well IT WAS her friend indeed. But she wasn't there while she was smoking only, she was a new employee in training. When my boss finally came back from her break, she began to again take out her frustrations on me. I tried for the first time to defend myself more seriously as I was very tired of all of this. She turned the situation to her advantage and managed to make me look like a very bad employee in front of the new girl. My manager considered me as a friend and I was often her confident (I know many things that could make her lose her job indeed)... but in those times she was always forgetting about it. At the end of that day, she told me that I might need to find a new job. She said she couldn't be sure because she was not the one who decided about those things (and she wasn't for real). The big boss wanted me out for so long, I was accustomed to those warnings. But this time was different. This time my boss had a friend for her new employee and wasn't protecting me anymore towards the big boss. She probably told her what she told me that day, that I was letting myself go. I wasn't doing any different from before... but when you want someone out you can say anything right? She left me like that for my shift. I cried a lot but there wasn't any customers by chance. I was at my limit again.

So only 2 days after that, the big boss and her assistant came to see the new employee at work during the day. I was doing the evening shift like always so I didn't meet them. When I came in, everyone seemed happy so I wasn't too stressed. But then my boss told me about the modifications of the schedule. She didn't really find words to describe it... so I looked at the screen and was horrified to find that I went from 30 hours a week to only 8. I was a full time employee and I had 8 hours a week and the others, even the part time ones, had more than me. I couldn't believe how stupid this company was. You can fire me, but you cannot laugh at me like that! Keeping me for a little 8 hours a week was a total joke. I called everyone I knew that night. I was crying in the store but I didn't care. I was talking on my cellphone too, who cared? I was alone in the store like always. My dad finally told me I could quit if I wanted, that he'd help me until I found a new job. I quit at the end of my 8 hours the next week. I didn't warn them before, I quit after my shift the very same night since they had modified my schedule without telling me too. My boss was surprisingly sad and was about to cry. But I was really calm and confident. I've had had enough of that joke and knew it was better for me to quit.

The irony of all of this is that recently I received a message from my old manager who was telling me it wasn't going well in the store and that she wished I was still there. You never know how much you care for someone until you lose them right?

So that's the story on how I got all this free time. I wish I would've found a new job by now but it is really not the right time. I also prefer trying my hand at a real job, in front of a desk or a computer... or both I just applied for a test in animation again... it is in coloration this time so I cross my fingers that I will maybe be able to live without too many worries for once. I know I'm not that old, but I think it is time I find a real job now, not store jobs that lead me nowhere.

If you have stories to share about injustice and stupid companies, go ahead It is always nice to know you are not the only one and to share your experiences with others.
