Hey, gang! I picked up some fun props to try out for Halloween shoots (and one pretty trinket stand for less spooky times).
You can look forward to Tharja and Megumi shoots next month... and more? (I still need to decide on whom)
(Enjoy the Halloween shrine built on my Catwoman boots box - a.k.a. the Pleaser brand that comes with coupons for stripper clothes, which concerned my mother when it fell open while getting moved here 😅)
I tried the D.va suit on last night! 🐰 The pink suit's zipper was a little awkward, so I couldn't zip it all the way by myself. I may need to replace it.
I also goofed around with the Snapchat filter again. Here's a reminder regarding Snapchat! Tier 2 patrons and up have full access to my goofy and sexy snaps (no nudity) like these. If you pledge to tier 2 and do not use Snapchat, fear not! I upload the highlights at the end of the month. 💖
Apologies for my messy sewing ro...
(Enjoy my dumb adventure with the anime Snapchat filter.)
My PC has successfully booted! I am just waiting on one more thing and then I can officially set it all up on my crappy desk in the cramped basement room... xD No cute and airy gamer girl den pics for me.
For those of you who are into PC building, here are my parts.
Which game should I stream first? (Honestly it will probably be something I c...

Quack! Let me know your favourites. <3 I really need to give this wig a makeover... I kept the bangs long for grungy eyepatch Asuka, but it's throwing off my happy Asuka pics hahaha...

As promised, the second part of the Asuka shoot will be up shortly for tier 2! I was happy to sneak in some photos with my duck friends before I moved. One duck in particular was quite happy to wander up for another photo in the album. <3
I apologize for not wearing blue contacts - the ones I wore last year had expired, I was reluctant to open my new set with no cons on the horizon. ;-;

It's not a favourite anime or anything, but the characters are fun and the fireproof suits would be an interesting new sewing challenge. Here are some laydeez from the series that I would be willing to cosplay - I'd like to hear your opinions! Which one(s) would suit me best? (The great thing is I can reuse the coat with slight alterations ;) mwaha) I will list pros and cons to help those who are not familiar with the characters. I invite you to Google them for more picture refs.
Now that I will be sharing (most) WIP photos to the public Patreon feed and (eventually) Facebook, I wanted to post a reminder of where we left off.
Megumi Shimizu - Shiki: STILL stitching rope. Was actually touched briefly in July. Goal is to finish her before Halloween.
Toshiko Ino - Zodiac Wars: skirt getting somewhere! Adding the waist facing. Ruffles to follow.
New sewing room organization: ... 😰
In a land of small rooms with "Quasimodo" ceilings, one cosplayer attempts to fit all her shit.
I apologize for filming this at night, but I can at least take credit for refilming after the first video featured a bonus ASMR track of me smacking gum. I don't chew it often, so I didn't realize how audible it would be. ^^;;
Also that thing with the mannequin, while it can easily be explained as the light taking longer to warm up, legitimately gave me the creeps. I paused ...

Sponsored by Zircon, here are two new cosplays to shoot in the upcoming months! A new D.va and my first Ram.
The pink one is actually made for a character from To Love-Ru, so the tail it came with has an attached devil tail. XD The ears it came with are honestly so poorly designed... Fortunately, I plan to wear all black and white accessories with it, so I am replacing the tail and ears.
Cosplays from Rolecosplay.
Now that my tiers have been revised, I need to decide what to call them! And I want your opinion, since you're the ones stuck with the labels. (heh heh)
The options are sticking with the original food theme (Fry Friends, Burger Buddies, Cheesecake Chums, and Pizza Pals - perhaps with a revision), switching to a cat theme to better match my logo and aesthetic (something like Catnip, Purrfect Pals, Kool Kats, Meowsters), or something else you suggest!
I have also considered the "-de...

YAY! CONTENT! Like I said, it was SO nice to have a professional shoot again. This photo above didn't turn out well due to the harsh lighting we had at the location, but we had to try since Asuka is part German and I had the traditional dress on!

Hello, and welcome back to my Patreon! I am officially moved into my new place (well, all the furniture and STUFF is here, but we four need to actually put it all somewhere...) and have uploaded the first Asuka album as promised for Tier 2 and above. :)
This is my favourite photo from the red set. <3

Hello! It's getting close to September (oops), and I have revised my tiers for the reopening of my Patreon.
The breakdown is above. Everything has shifted down in price! You will notice that the $10 tier is no longer listed - I will be asking each of you in that tier to make the choice of where to move before September. :) Within the $5 tier 2, you may choose to pledge $10 instead. You may also be tempted to move to the new tier 3 and get the monthly prints, previously ...

This park is called the Friendship Gardens, full of monuments representing 18 ethnic groups in our city. The one behind me is the Dutch windmill. There's a German monument (see second photo), but unfortunately they never put the cute water wheel back up, so there wasn't much to work with. We tried to take some photos with it but... they will most likely be scrapped. ^^;; And there is no Japanese one.

I finally had a reeeal photo shoot with a photographer after months with no cons! I chose to shoot Asuka wearing a red dirndl and this green dress set. Both are courtesy of Richard. She is German, so the dresses really suit her! ❤💚
When I leaned into the plants to take photos, I had to dodge mating flies and mud. 😂
How do I look without the wig in the kerchief?
I have an important announcement later, but for now... Welcome to the Gun Show!
My Patreon is paused next month. I will be moving at the end of the month and want to focus on downsizing my crap and packing it up for the move. I will also be making changing to my tiers and Patreon structure that I will post about ASAP. Everything is paused, so you will have ALL AUGUST to decide if you want to change tiers or not. :)

I am using my own hair here and it works?! What do you think of my Camie? These boots I bought on a whim (probably 5 years ago) and never wore are PERFECT.
Camie Utsushimi from Boku no Hero Academia was jointly sponsored (a couple different purchases mingling here haha) by Richard and Zircon. Thank you both! The hat and accessories are Miccostumes; the bodysuit is Leg Avenue.
Can you guess the character in the third picture?
I threw on Rise for fan signs last night! Took some selfies to tide you over while I edit and upload them. It was fun to wear this costume again - definitely one of my favourite creations!

Here's a special summer treat - a preview of my Wendy MV! This is all I can put together so far because there's a big gap in the footage. I am hoping to get some socially-distant filming in to finish it... Curse you, COVID!
To my new patrons, this footage is from LAST summer. I decided to make a goofy cosplay music video for Wendy's song, "Rest in Grease." Unfortunately I was unable to finish the filming then, and now it's obviously tricky to get anything done outside. :(
Let me k...

These are all on their way to me... for Sakura, Rin/Ishtar, Tharja, and any basic Saberface. Who are you looking forward to? Thanks for making them possible. ^^

I haven't had much time to myself to work on photo edits this week. ;-; But here's a lovely blooper from the shoot - many more of these for you to make you question my anatomy hahaha... Lots feature my butt in my attempts to give myself her booty (alas), which would have been more fun if there wasn't A WEIRD WAFFLE PATTERN ON THE BUTT OF THESE TIGHTS.

... should arrive today or some time this week! I will do a little test with it once it arrives and set up my Twitch account properly at last... I won't use the camera for this test, so it will be purely checking the mic quality. :) I will let you know in advance when the stream will be and obviously save the video for the time being if you can't make it to the live stream. ^^
Wish me luck...

2020-06-30 04:18:12 +0000 UTC View PostBefore the whole END OF THE WORLD started, I had made plans with a Daishocon (ie. the Wisconsin Dells Kalahari con in November) photographer and some other cosplayers to put together the "cabaret" costume group from the Persona 5 dancing game (with the new girl, Kasumi, who is not in the video).
It's hard to stay motivated right now, so I decided to listen to the song to put me into the mood and plan how to construct Ann's corset... shorts (most likely making this two pieces). For my ne...

Here's a fun little preview of the photos from the Elastigirl shoot. Good lord, my back, butt, and legs suffered from attempting to hold ridiculous poses while squatting and kneeling on my living room floor.
Thanks to Bob for sponsoring this cosplay!

Hello, dahrlinks!
Some of you may have seen an email that I have "paused" my Patreon for the month. This means you will not be charged today or at any time this month. The reason I have decided this is because - due to a combination of things - I have gotten very slow with my content uploads. You guys deserve much better!
One major factor is the fact that all cons are cancelled this summer, and most likely for the rest of the year. The earliest convention I hope to attend is in No...

I have taken a break from sewing to focus on some fitness... I forgot that some of the new folks are not using Snapchat and haven't seen my Snaps about it!
I trimmed down Boar's skirt and shaped it some more. I also put together a structural piece for the inside of it (not aattached yet). Just about ready to make the bottom of the skirt at last...
Poor Megumi is still shunned lol
