It's so close and we're all still frantically getting our cosplays done as I type this!

What is everyone wearing? Are you still working on your cosplays and props too? ;o;
Here is the final schedule of what I am wearing with :devfullmetal punk: and my two roomies (~Bogx Sami + ~MusicMuse Nicole)


Friday: Zelda (Ocarina of Time) w/Jer as Link
Masquerade: ^ Also Zelda but Jer will be in a more snazzy attire~

Saturday: Princess Peach w/Jer as Mario (and Sami as Rosalina, Nicole as Daisy) - We will also have Toad! xD I am so super excited about these.

Sunday: Organization Coat Roxas w/Jer as Axel. All revamped and complete with Oathkeep, Oblivion, and Chakrams. I am SO excited. (Sami and Nicole will be in an awesome Steampunk Riku and Sora!)


I hope to meet some of you there in person! It would be awesome.
Thanks!

@#$%^! -spazz-

Hello all~ Shinrai here again. (REPOST) So I'm trying to slowly clean out the cosplay closet and the first to go is my old Organization jacket! I have had that thing since 2009 and I have my new one from OrgXIII.org! I hope the old one will go to a loving home~ I am also selling the Kingdom Hearts Doujinshi "Innocent". Yes THAT amazing one.

It is this one from these photos:





It is for the coat only! It has had a LOT of love put into it and is pretty awesome and comfy. There is no damage to it. I DO swim in it of course (as Roxas kind of does with his) so it can fit different sizes. I have lost weight throughout the years so this is a bit bigger on me now then it was back then. I am 5'3" and this did touch the ground (didn't drag though). I modded the chains slightly at the top so it would look more like the actual chains. The zipper is from Orgxiii.org but the coat was made by someone else. It is fully lined and the pockets function as well as the hood! I would have to say it will fit anyone a size medium. If you are concerned about detailed measurements and very interested, let me know and I can give you more details.

Rough measurement details:
Shoulder to Shoulder - 17" across
Waist/Hips - 20" across
Sleeve Length - 26" (from shoulder seam down)
Coat Length - 53"

Price: $90 + shipping. $10 shipping for those in the USA, other countries please inquire.
If you are comfortable with sending the payment as a gift, paypal fees will not be charged. ;o; Yes. I am a meanie like that. The fee will be $3.29.


Innocent Doujinshi is by RS and Riku x Sora based. It is SUPER rare to find. I am fortunate to own two copies of these babies, so I am selling one! Please let me know if you are interested in it. It has like 100 pages of cuteness!



Price: $80 shipped within the USA.
Shipping elsewhere please let me know so I can calculate. This also does not include the paypal fees~ So please add $2.69.

Thanks guys! ;D
Just message me on this post or in a PM

LIFE IS SO HARD BEING AN ADULT!

So yeah I think I will be having some breathing space now, but when I do I work on cosplay for Aki! ;~;

I'm very excited to say that I have the time off approved for Aki! (I knew I would but working at a fabric store and wanting to get the weekend off right before Halloween is a hard toss up.)

So good news is good.

~fullmetal-punk and I shall be there along with our awesome friends/roomates!
Cosplays have also been decided for the con (except the Masquerade still is a toss up!)

Not sure which days we are doing what but here is what we are bringing!

~ Mami Tomoe (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) - With ~fullmetal-punk as a sexy human Kyubey~ (We also have the full group so look for an awesome set of magical girls with their contractor!~)

~ Dream Drop Distance Sora (with Riku of course... and my OFFICIAL WONDER MEOW AHHHH!! I LUV HIIIIM.)

~ Halloween Town Sora (wth Replica/Dark Riku.. because we're scary like that! BOO!)

Masquerade: Unknown. Sebastian or Yuuki will be there? Maybe something else. NO CLUE UGH!

---

But yeah. Hope everyone is starting their holiday season off well.

WHO IS ALL GOING!?
Excuse me while I go work on more things before the con next weekend! -panicPANICPAAANIC-
<3
...

So who is going!? I am! (I believe I am hahaha~)

Not sure what I shall be wearing yet. I think I will bring Halloween Town Sora seeing as how it is the weekend before Halloween! (What better thing to wear right?)

I may feel really ambitious and finish my Ventus suit of armor... Probably bring Sebastian for the Masquerade? I DUNNO! I DUNNO WHAT TO WEAR AHHHH.

What will everyone else who is going be cosplaying?
<3

Life update: Things have been busy! I am settled. Does everyone miss me? I miss everyone. ;o;
I miss uploading cosplay photos too!

..

Bellingham Washington to get technical. ~fullmetal-punk and I have finally made our adventure on our own! It feels so good especially since it is finally happening and it should have years ago!

I feel so good being in this state right now... and refreshed. I'm so close to the Canadian border (when I et my passport I am going to visit for the first time) and close to... well everywhere. And with Seattle being only a quick drive, I feel like I can do pretty much anything. I hope that everything works out.

We are both job hunting to the max with some potential. It's going to be rough so there may be a bit of DA deviation disappearances. We are also moving in with some rad people who are also cosplayers and long time friends! It's going to be pretty awesome. I am really excited. I would keep going on but my brain is broken~

SO WHO all lives in Washington or even in Vancouver!?

...

<3

EDIT: SO nothing is selling and I am desperate. So price drops... Yup. You heard that right. These are just the little things that are really getting in the way (and I've been trying to get rid of them) that we will probably never wear/use again. My old Kingdom Key, KH2 Sora (OLD, I don't have the heart to throw it out...), wigs wigs wigs, etc.

I'm in the midst of moving in a week so these things really need to go ASAP. REASONABLE offers are excepted if the price may be a TAD bit out of your budget.

Hope to see you guys there!
You all better be getting that last minute cosplay done!
<3
...

Totally editing this now. Please read. xD

Someone seems to be having a problem with people asking for their friends to vote for them over on the contest and finding it not fair. I just want to let you guys know that I, IN NO WAY, think that I am trying to take over the competition by asking you guys to vote for me. The main prize is what really matters and that is for the judges to decide! ^^ I really hope that I win that more than public votes and hope that everyone can win prizes! I have actually gone and voted for other people and not myself~ I think everyone has awesome entries~!!

If you would like to vote for me that is awesome, but BY NO MEANS does it mean to just vote for me because I am "asking" you to. There are some amazing entries out there and they deserve your vote too! So please please please vote for them as well!!


Thanks guys so much for your support in this contest. It means a lot to me.

Much love. <3

...

Yes you read that right~

I have upgraded my Kingdom Key recently (if you guys saw its sexy face in our new CMV) and have no use for my old one. It has had a LOT of love put into it for a year. I would love to pass it down. It is made of PVC and wood. I have gotten a LOT of compliments on this key at cons, so it is an eye catcher as well as lightweight! I am 5'3" so this is great for those who are on the shorter side as well as being tall!

Note on "issues": Some paint has been scratched off in some ares, but it can easily be re-painted! The handle pieces had broken during my move, but I have tried to fix it as best as I could. I did hot glue it back on but it may need some extra care. The pieces do slide into the main piece. The whole keyblade will be super bubble wrapped before shipment.

Asking Price: $75 + $20 shipping and handling fees (for US and Canada)
Payment: I am currently really only accepting paypal! (I can ship this ASAP)

Photos:






Please let me know! Serious buyers please.
It needs love!

..

So some of you may know OrgXIII.org is hosting a flippin awesome contest to give away one of their coats... for FREE! I pretty much busted butt and did my best for my entry! So I thought... why not a CMV? It's totally not professional in any way (my camera is a poopy-head) but I tried! So I hope you guys enjoy it! I hope they do too over there. I love their stuff (I buy zippers from them ALL the time) so I hope to own their gorgeous coat... xD



(Oooo~ Pretty. I do love that Axel/Roxas shot. Mm. And the Riku and Sora is moving so it's not as clear, but they are in it too! So is Xion and "Namine". AND you can see my new toy... MY NEW SEXY KINGDOM KEY AHHH.)

Link to the YouTube video (watch in HD!): [link]

Thank you guys for watching!!
~<3

..

I don't have the option... but... Is there something I am missing here? I just got 3 news feed notifications for people changing their DA name!?
Not that I will be changing mine, but how do you feel about that? xD

I think it will be harder for people to know who is who and what is what!

...?

EDIT: ORDER PLACED!!

EDIT: GOAL REACHED, BUT STILL TAKING ORDERS!! THE ORDER WILL BE PLACED ON THE 15th SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO JOIN AND CAN PAY ON THAT DATE OR SOONER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

----

OKAY so, attention All my cosplay friends.

I was hoping and thinking about doing a "group order" on Pinky Paradise for colored lenses hoping to reach the $130+ limit (this is AWESOME for those of you who need prescription lenses like Jer, are last minute, or maybe even need some make-up?). Me, being horrible and not ordering sooner, would like to take advantage of the FREE express shipping and only having to pay a good $25 for great lenses that will last a year! I would ship out everyone's order the next day of arrival or bring them with me to Metro (if you are going or would like me to do that, buuut--) I would ship First Class in a bubble envelope and you would only pay and extra $2 for shipping~

We can discuss much more if anyone is interested. ;o;
I am pretty reliable and all that jazz~ Just let me know!! -crosses fingers-


Once we reach $130, ordering will be closed!
I am looking to place the order by this weekend at the latest. (If you can do it a TAD bit later we can discuss this, but I need to get them in before the last week of this month.)

Shinraifaith (me but for Jer, hahah) - Venus Eye Bright Red $25.90 (-3.50) - HOST - PAID
~JuusanIsami - Vassen Ruby Grey - $22.90 (-7.50) - CONFIRMED - WAITING ON PAYMENT - PAID
~Darthjader - GEO Berry Holic Blue - $19.90 (0.00) - WAITING ON PAYMENT - PAID
Allison (friend) - G&G Shinny Green - $25.90 (-3.00,-3.25) - WAITING ON PAYMENT - PAID
~Kunoichi-Dawn - Princess Pinky Twilight Brown + Vassen Dolly Plus Red + GEO Xtra WBS 204 Bella Brown - $73.70 (-1.25, -2.25) - WAITING ON PAYMENT - PAID

TOTAL: $168.30 // $130

<3!

OMG! I AM SO HONORED TO BE IN THIS! ;o;

Harry Potter is like... my ultimate male disguise.
Brb. Gonna go cry tears of joy now.

<3

Okay so fun wig things! xD

Sora Wig:

I ended up styling a new Sora wig for myself using a different type of base wig. It is really awesome, we just didn't click when I put it on. I hope it can find someone to love it. It has been styled using Arda's Vegas in medium brown so this wig is heat resistant and high quality!



Asking: $110 USD SHIPPED in the US.

Wig will be shipped first class USPS.
If you would like priority add an extra $10.
If you would like it shipped on a wig head, please add $8.
All international buyers are welcome. Please PM me for shipping rates.

Just send a note. it is first come, first serve and I am going to the post tomorrow so it'll get to you before the end of the week. ^^

----

OKAY, so I made a facebook page thing for my wig commissions.
A "like" would be awesome and it also shows off most of my works I have done in the past (2007-2012).
The support and spreading the word is MUCH appreciated!



Page here: [link]

Yes, that is the name of my commission shop. Isn't it cheesy and ADORABLE!? xD

Funny thing, those are actually outlines of the wigs I have styled~ I <3 making graphics. <3

Thanks guys!
...

Just wanted to let you all know, look out for KH2 Sora. He is being re-vamped!
xD

I'm even styling a new wig for him in general. Excited? I AM!! ;o;
My poor baby is 4 years old and just looking ratty. He will be reborn!

Sandra (Sandy) Lynn Moore - April 22, 2011.



I cannot believe today marks a year since she left. I really have no idea what to say or how to even start this. All I know is she always doubted she would be missed if anything ever happened to her and everyone would go about their lives as it happened with her parents. The truth is we do, but there is never a day that goes by that I wait for a text from her. I know she would want it to be where we continue to live, think of her now and again, and continue with life. I wish she could see how much her children have gotten out there in the world, how much stuff has happened only in a year. She was my best friend. She texted me every night when she couldn't sleep and we chatted for hours. I never regret being miles away from her because I bet she would not really hang out with me those nights because she stayed shut in her room texting. I miss her laugh and her humor and even now I can make jokes about her and about her being gone. She would want it this way. I was always so proud of her and so lucky that I had a mom like her to make me who I am today. It still seems like a dream and I wait to wake up and see she is still there. I know I'll see her again and I don't doubt that for a second. I think that that's why I feel content about it sometimes.

She supported me so much with my cosplaying and geeky habbits. She knew that Kingdom Hearts meant so much to me as well as Fullmetal Alchemist and Metrocon in general. She loved and always commented on how talented I was with sewing and drawing (I don't draw anymore, but I should). I hope to do a photoshoot for her when I get over this flu.

In the end, I'll continue to stay strong for her and make her proud.
I love you mama and I miss you with all my heart.

<3

PLEASED READ... and buy this book!

So ~fullmetal-punk, my amazing and wonderful boyfriend, has published his first book!!
I don't know how many of you have actually come into contact with Jer's wonderful writing style (through fanfiction), but his first book ever is coming out tomorrow~

This means so so much to him and is a huge step for him to start getting somewhere. I always knew he would go somewhere with his writing so this is his big start.

COLLIDE is an awesome story (that I helped write bahahah).
This book is being released online through Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon!



Summary:

Being bisexual is cool now-unless you're a boy. Or so it seems to invisible fifteen-year-old Hazard James. But when he falls in with bad apple Jesse Wesley, Hazard is suddenly shoved into the spotlight. Jesse and his friends introduce him to the underworld of teenage life: house parties, hangovers, the advantages of empty homes, and reputation by association. So what if his old friends don't get it? So what if some people love to hate him? Screw gossip and high school's secret rules. There's just something about walking into a room and having all eyes on him when just last year nobody noticed him at all. For a while Hazard basks in the attention, and before he realizes the depth of the waters he's wading, he and Jesse strike up a "friends with benefits" routine. It could be something more, but what self-respecting teenage boy would admit it? Not Jesse-and so not Hazard, either. Not until it's too late. Hazard and Jesse have collided, and Hazard's life will never be the same.

Please please support his work! (If you would like, hahah~)
Trust me, the summary is nothing compared to how deep and amazing this story is.
(Fun fact... it used to be a Kingdom Hearts fan fic... the names just changed. So you should get a kick out of it if you connect which character is which)

Here is where you can buy it:

Amazon: [link]
Barnes & Noble: [link]

GO BUY NOW!! LOL
<3

... and go tell him how amazing he is.


...

You bizzles better be ready!

Tomorrow, ~fullmetal-punk and I leave for Seattle. So excited.
So much fun will be had~

Hope to see you guys there!!

We'll be showing up to check into the hotel and convention center around and after 3:00PM.

If you can make it to the AMV contest I made it this year and one of my videos will be showing in the upbeat category!
"1000% Sexy" Vote it. Love it. Laugh~

We may also be in the costume contest this year with our Dream Drop Distance gear. Look out for us!
We'll be carrying the Dream Eater plushies, swinging keyblades, and savin' the woooorldz. xD
