Hello my dear patrons, today as I'm feeling a bit more energetic, I'm coming back to you with a WIP!!
Indeed I'm projecting to cosplay an inspired and humanized Isabelle ( Marie in French) from Animal Crossing New Horizon( which I enjoyed during the confinement like many of us^^).
She is my opposite in character ( I hate TV and I'm not an homebody like she is) but I have to admit she's very cute and I wanted to cosplay a famous animal Crossing character ^0^
Did you play ? Who are your favorites residents ? I have a dark purple kitty named Kiki whom is very cute but the others are a bit too creepy for my taste XD and each time one of them leaves the island another one coming from Shiro's game ( residents he got rid of! ) comes in to settle on my town and I don't like them at all ahahaah^^,,,,
Then I used pieces of hair I had from an old wig to make 2 buns ( I forgot to take the pics of the making of the buns)
I used chalk pens for hair I had in my cupboard . Luckily It contained an orange one ^^ , with a bit of water I applied it on the the parts that would become the "ears" and the buns:
Since it's temporarily hair dying , time I handle the wig I get orange on my clothing and on my fingers XDD. With a bit of hairspray it got better though.
-Then I cut the lengths to get them at the chin and started styling the bangs ( at this moment I had removed the buns, I reattached them after with just pins):
Sadly, The bangs were too thin and see trough as you can observe on this picture :
so I used an unused wig of mine on which I retrieved several strands of hair and glued them to the bangs with hot glue:
I also added some more hair to the buns:
Not yet styled :
ET voilà !
I didn't want to make a wig with fur ears and buns like I've seen on the Internet lately, I wanted it to be a human version :)
I just need to add 2 little bells and it will be done!
Now I need a day to make the photoshoot :) Hope you'll like it
I'm sorry I took a bit more time than expected to publish this photoshoot, I have been going trough a relapse of my symptoms for about a week now and i'm so exhausted that even going on my computer is difficult. I know it's not going to last too long ( I hope ) since last times it happened I had to wait for about 5 days to 3 weeks before being back to my new"normal". Let's hope it's more 1 week than 3 this time.
I'm still thankful for my Friend sam's Factory for the photos and her husband who helped us with the light reflector ^^
And I'l am also sharing pictures with Shiro as Vegeta.
And here have some backstage pics ^^:
I wish you a very nice day and take care of you and your loved ones :) +++Clef
Hello my dear Patrons. I hope your are doing okay and enjoying summer despite the ambient crisis. Things are really going weird lately but I have a great hope it's going to get better soon. Things are moving fast, hang on !
Stay positive, focus on the good moments, on the love of your family and friends . I've seen lots of good news concerning the world lately and it's giving me big hope for a beautiful future.
My health is also giving me some rest these past couple weeks so I'm enjoying every moments ^^;;
We did some pictures with Shiro and my cosplay friend Sam's Factory. I lend her my camera( despite the fact she is not a photographer at all) and she did a really good job with it :), her Husband was given the task to handle the reflector and he also managed with it like a boss !
With some post edit I'm rather happy with the result :)

See you very soon with Bulma and Vegeta photos and I'll try to do get other Bulma cosplay and also a Love live idol photoshoot done by the end of summer :)
Hello my dear Patrons. I hope you are doing okay. Here is just a super quick hello from the beach just for you :3
With Shiro we did a Ban and Elaine Photoshoot , I'll publish the pics soon. :) Tomorrow we will transform as summer Vegeta and Bulma for another shoot :).
Hey hey my dear Patrons, after about 2 weeks of persistent pain in my lower abdomen, I can finally post my last photoshoot. I had this idea in mind for a about certain time and I decided to take some pictures of this customized dress the same day I did the tik Tok video on the previous post but it asked me some time to edit the pictures.
I also used my Lunch wig which I quickly stylized into a "Cinderella like" bun :
Tonight I'm happy because I just got my first appointment with a new physiotherapist and hypnotherapist for my interstitial Cystitis and endometriosis issues and I'm looking forward to seeing the results :)
The pain is still there but very manageable now so i'm planning a Bulma swimsuit photoshoot very soon, I'll also post a casual shoot next week and my Bulma biker V.2 is also coming up next. :)
Are some of you having holidays this year ? I know the times to come will be tough for some of us and I wish you are all going to be okay.
I don' t know how many of you followed my Instagram stories lately so for those who may have missed them, here is a summary :
A couple days ago I did a tik tok video , the one you can watch above in HD.^^
I forced myself to record it because I wasn't well at all, I had been feeling a strong pain in my lower abdomen for a few days and I thought it would be good for me to try to think about something else than the pain. So I recorded the video and took some photos (I'll show you later :)) That night the pain was hella strong. The next day I was in so much pain than I decided to take a pill of paracetamol, and 30 min later, I turned crimson red and my skin started to burn and swell. I ended up to the ER.
Looks like I had an allergic reaction to paracetamol ( first time of my life it happens and they had never seen the case here ) Then when the reaction soothed ( after I asked for an antihistamine pill, because yes , in my town's ER , I have to do everything by myself...) I asked for a gynecologic consultation because I was sure something was wrong in there ( I know my body) They didn't let me see a doctor but as I insisted , the intern gave me a note for an appointment with a gynecologist the next day. And So I went. During the ultrasound she saw I had an hemorrhagic lutheal cyst in my left ovary and also noticed than I was going trough an interstitial cystitis flair. Hence the pain ;;;
She was a very very nice person and I'm sure life put her on my path for a good reason, because she offered me new leads to work on( which I have already been talked about) and which could be one of the multiple reasons to some of my chronic symptoms and pains. I've never talked about it publicly and I'm not ready to yet. But I want to ,someday, because I think it could help people like me.
Today the pain hasn't faded and I'm running a low grade fever so I guess I'll have to go back to the gynecologist soon. But my mental health is good, I know I'll get better and that I have new tools now to get EVEN better :)
Hello my dear patrons ! I hope you enjoy deconfinement ot that you will soon. Can't wait for life to be back to normal.
I'm back ! Antibiotics finally worked and I'm now feeling better. Still, I'll have to do an IMR and ultra sound for my endometriosis during June. Endometriosis symptoms are getting worse and worse by each passing months ( it may also be the cause of all my recurrent bladder infections ) so I'm looking forward to my surgery even though It may just be temporarily relief. Doctors say it may be linked to all my others syndromes as well ( fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue), . But witch one started first ?
Anyway, while I wasn't feeling at my best I still managed to draw a little bit and posted some of my WIP on Tik Tok and instagram . ( meaning even when I'm not feeling well , it is not as bad as I used to feel before, like 2 years ago :)
And finally I got some courage to finish editing my TInk pictures and here they are
Bonus :
I'm planning redoing an old Bulma cosplay soon and I also must finish my Chibi Usa outfit which I started before the Coronavirus madness^^,,, I also have 2 casual cosplay to shoot but because I wasn't feeling good I haven't done anything yet.
All the conventions I was supposed to go and invited to were canceled and there won't be any event till before September :/
Hey hey my dear Patrons. Like I told you in my previous post , I'm not feeling top good lately. I went back to my doctor yesterday and he gave me a third antibiotic. I feel less and less good by each passing day. The basic tests are all negative so they don't know what's going on with me despite the pain and fever .. Doesn't that ring a bell? ...
So I'm waiting for an appointment with my Lyme doctor which I haven't seen for 10 months. First because my health was getting better and then because he is way too expensive. But I feel like I have no other choice since regular doctors don't know what to do with my case . I'm going back to you as soon as I feel better or have some good news.
While lots of people are living with the fear of Coronavirus I'm dealing with my usual and chronic health problems . Here I am again dealing with some strange bladder infection ( they can't find the pathogen) . It's the same thing I went through 2 months ago. And the only thing that stopped it was intramuscular injections of antibiotics.
The thing is that IM Injections are painfull but they are even more painfull when you have fibromyalgia. Anyway, I don't care . I prefere to be limping because of the pain in my booty caused by the injections ( last time I got bruises and oedema)than feeling that pain in my bladder and back for a couple days more ( it's been 8 days now) Wish me luck ! The only thing I fear each time I must take antibiotics is the safety of my digestive system even though I'm taking probiotics and being very careful with my diet. Remember how I needed 3 years to recover from 3 weeks of antibiotherapy .-_-.
During the confinement they also delayed my IMR to see how bad is my endometriosis and when I'll have to have surgery . I guess now it won't be before the end of the year.
I'm planning 2 easy cosplay shooting for the times coming but as long as I feel that pain I'm not able to concentrate and try anything.
I really believe in a Force in the Universe and inside each of us, so despite the fact the last trilogy disappointed me beyond possible, Star Wars will always have a place in my heart.
I was working on Leia's photo when I remembered I still had captain Marvel photoshoot to finish so here have the second part ^^
I have not been feeling right lately, muscle pain, fatigue, dizziness, fever, tummy aches , lots of my symptoms are back but I'm still happy I was able to shoot Leia before the 4 of May with the help of Shiro.
People are talking about the Coronavirus all the time and I'm like : "I wonder if I would feel any different if I had it since flu symptoms are my everyday life ." It's a legit question. I really wonder. But I don't want to find out. Chronic symptoms are enough by themselves .
We are all ( or almost all) confined home and I hope you are doing okay. I was hoping to enjoy that "confined" moment to make a lot of photoshoots with Shiro but unfortunately I have been facing new tummy problems for almost one month now.
Indeed , 3 weeks ago I ate a tiny bit of seitan ( food with gluten) 5 minutes later I was doubled over on my bed and I haven't been able do do much since then. The day after eating seitan I had a fever, increased muscle pain , I was exhausted and the pain in my stomach was the same it was about one year ago ( and didn't go down since).I went to my doctor because I also started to have a rash on my skin which apparently is dermatitis herpetiformis, a skin condition that appears when you have coeliac disease or gluten intolerance.
So I got back on antibiotics for Sibo (rifaximin) and my daily probiotics. No gluten at all for me for the rest of my life, the pain is really not worth it. I'm waiting for my tummy to be a bit better before working on new photoshoots and projects.
The good side of it is that while lots of people will put some weight on because of the confinement, I won't XD ^^;;;;
I hope you and your relatives are all okay, that you didn't catch the virus , stay safe.
Are you interested in a video of an editing of a pic of my Captain Marvel shoot?
Too bad we didn't have anyone to film us when Shiro and I did the photoshootv because his advises about how to pose and look powerful on photos were really interesting!! (and also difficult to realize and fun to see ^^,,, maybe we could do avideo about posing in the near future ^^)
And I look really different here because I used a makeup technique with adhesives too change the shape of my face , I'll show you someday :)
Here it is pretty quiet, people are calm and almost all well disciplined. My street looks like we are in August when people leave for the seashore.
I have been feeling lots of muscle pain and fatigue since we came back from Japan Tours Festival ( not everyday at the same levels though) and I wonder when this move back will last. I also got a big nasty reaction to eating gluten, I guess I shouldn't have tried it , Bye Bye forever pastries , for real ! , Today I went to do some grocery shopping in the shop which is located 10 min by foot from my home, and Ouch>< : coming back with the bag full of food was tedious! But at least it's not the coronavirus , it was sunny and going grocery shopping in an almost empty shop was quite satisfying ^^ .
Shiro who is stuck at my home with me goes crafting live on Instagram when he is motivated enough and not too tired ( I remind you that we share some of the the same symptoms , which is not fun everyday) or play Monster Hunter (sometimes with me) while I edit pictures or read.
I've been wanting to take pictures of my Captain Marvel but I don't feel strong enough yet ><. Later then.
Being confined home 24/24 for normal and healthy people should lead to be more creative and productive on personal projects but for me there is no difference , body decides.
So here is a 5 min video of some of my last edits. And this time I did some speaking on it, and my accent is soooo weird XD. I sound like a German/Italian/french/Pakistani person all at the same time XD.
Here is a link to my drive where you'll find the Topaz Lab Plugin I use in the video :), I have been using this version for years, I think it is safe , my antivirus doesn't' say anything against it :
Hey there my dear Patrons. How are you doing ? Here in France we are at our 6th day of confinement and it's going pretty well. I miss going on a walk outside though. So I'm using my time to edit my cosplay photos and to sleep. ( and eating .....god I put 2kg in just 5 days arghhh) Here is the last part of our Ban/ Elaine photoshoot. I wanted to make a video where I explain how I'm editing my photos but I don't know why my software AVS video editor is not working anymore. I tried downloading and reinstalling it again and it is still not working. I aldo tried with premiere pro but the videos I screen recorded make it crash .... So no video tonight till I find how to edit them . 🤔
Since we are stuck at home I guess I'm gonna shoot this costume too. I almost forgot I had it ^^:
Being forced to stay home because of a virus outside? No problem, it was my usual routine for the previous 3 years 😅 I had training . no I know why. 😅 I know it's not everyone's case so I hope you are doing fine.
There is a lot of fatigue since Japan Tours festival , I'm coughing but it doesn't look like it's the Corona virus.
Shiro is stuck at home with me .He couldn't take the train back to his home because of the confinement . So we are resting and waiting until it gets better. When we are not too tired ( because he is too) we will shoot Norman and Emma.
I started editing some of our latest shoot but I'm really going slow. My eyes are burning as soon as I use the computer even with my glasses.
If you are also confined home, what are you doing?
Hello my dear Patrons. I hope you are doing well and happy ! As you know I came back from a two week-ends in a row convention challenge ( challenge from me to myself )and even though I knew I could face some consequences and fatigue I didn't think I would go back so low with my health. Bumer ! I thought I would only face a couple days of fatigue but I'm actually dealing with strong exhaustion and pain everywhere in my muscles and joints . I also have some difficulties to think and talk like I had before.
I know it's temporary and I should be happy I could achieve 2 week-ends of cosplay despite everything . ^^.
However I'm still trying to keep up with my cosplay plans , which are 2 homemade photoshoots. I 've already installed my background in my living room. It's just waiting for my body to be compliant ^^,,,
I wish you a good evening and I hope I can update some content soon.
Hello my dear Patrons ! I hope you are doing fine. Japan Tours Festival is over and I'm actually trying to recover form these past couple weeks. Two conventions in a row, 4 days of cosplay, can you believe it ? It is something that I couldn't dream of not even one year ago . And yet I did it!
When I look back I can see how much my health improved even thought I'm still dealing with daily symptoms. Everyday is bringing new life , projects and ideas , I'm supported by dozens of wonderful persons , I have lovely friends and family, a beautiful kitty cat and even a boyfriend who share the same health troubles ( we understand each other) and who loves cosplaying.
I can say I'm a happy person.☺️
At Japan Tours Festival I could met with another wonderful Patron 🥰 and take a bunch of pictures so I'm going to show you the backstages of these 2 perfect days.
On Sunday the convention was a bit quiet though because of the security laws related to that Corona virus thing. They didn't let more than 5000 person enter the convention and Japan tours Festival is quite a big event so the alleys where a bit empty.
We spent a certain amount of time as Ban and Elaine accompanied by a King portrayed by @jessy.k.cosplay on Instagram and @Miewl_cosplay who took lot of backstage pictures ❤. And if you don't follow him already, my boyfriend @orewa_shiro 🙂
But Saturday was crazy.^^
Now the goal of the next couple weeks is to make the photoshoot I advertised you a few weeks ago and to record backstage videos and pictures .
Hello my Dear Patrons ! For those following my Instagram, no surprise, you already know we've made it to Geek Days Rennes despite all the latest health issues !
It was a beautiful but exhausting week end, I'm happy :)
Everyone was surprised to see me sharing a booth and a cosplay duo with a new face. You already know that I'm talking about the cosplayer accompanying me as Ban from The seven Deadly Sins. Cosplayer who's name is @Orewa_Shiro on Instagram and which has also become my boyfriend back in January^^,,,,. You may see us prepare new duo projects in the future.
After almost for 4 years of illness and celibacy, everything seems new for me ^^;;
I could meet with some of you :))) and I'm really Happy I did. You are the fuel that allows me to live this passion, to make my life the dream I' ve always wanted it to be! Thank you !!
Next Week End I'm going to attend Japan Tours and I know I'm gonna meet some of you for the first time, I can't wait :)
But for now I'm beyond exhausted, on Saturday I'm going to be Elaine with my Ban again and on Sunday Emma fro the Promised Never Land. Until then it's full time rest! ^^
I'm just posting some pics of the convention to show you how cool it was for me :).
