So now that I'm all settled into Tokyo, I went out cosplay-hunting. I found a store called Mitubado, in Akihabara, that sells USED COSPLAY. Yes. It's like... a million outfits, all in dry cleaning bags. You can compare and contrast! Look, 7 Madoka costumes! Oh, look, a weird color of yellow... why would you use that pink... OMG PERFECT! So I am now the proud owner of a badass Haruhi costume for 4500 yen (about 55 USD) that is BETTER QUALITY THAN I CAN MAKE. Yes. It has excellent fabric, perfect colors. The proportions are correct. The skirt is lined. It has a belt, with a buckle. And the stripe on the sailor top isn't just topstitched rib

So I'm not sure how I feel about ACen. It was terrible -- I didn't do anything. But it was also fun... I went with ~thatbloodypirate, ~evilgamerkitty, and ~girls4me2, along with my friend Mai. Mai had been making my kiyoshi armor -- and forgot it at home. But Sokka forgot his robe, so I wore his armor on Friday.  Then Mai and I got dressed up in Ao no Exorcist, and I got my picture taken by ~SFLiminality, who is still very tall. Saturday, I dressed Mai up as Mami (she looked amazingly hot) and I wore her armor, while Sokka wore her robe and his armor. We won "Best Screen Accurate" or something in the Hall Cosplay. Which was good -- becaus

Turns out I AM going to ACen this year. Just not to Detour. Joy, mostly. So I'm being a Kiyoshi warrior from Avatar: TLA, and then bringing Rin from Fate/Stay Night. And then something else, too.
