Official Cosplay BLOG!

I have decided to make this neglected blog website my official cosplay blog!

Filled with tips, pictures and... other stuff :D

So tomorrow, I'll be attending PCC (Philippine Cosplay Convention) I think this is their 3rd Year? Well, I spoke with Maronne, (U.K. and my sempai) and she'll be going as Ranka Lee so I'm pretty excited to see her. I'll be cosplaying YUI from K-On! Don't Say Lazy outfit. Here's a preview:
My Tailor had done an amazing job with my dress. I love how poofy it is! She did miss the beading detail though (In the chest area) but that's easy enough to do myself. She also made the glove thing (Which is on the wrong arm) so that's a plus!I added the bead detail on my white pumps myself. I got super glue hands now! When I handle super glue, I always end up making a mess but luckily the outcome was nice! I stuck 2 beads on a pin thingy and clipped the pin on the pumps so I can use the pumps for other occasions :) The shoes were from divisoria, P380 only! What a bargain! Plus they're SUPER comfortable!
The vertical stripped stockings are such a pain in the ass so I'll leave the super details for another time, can't find any here so I'm considering black electric tape...

Tip: Never ever paint stockings. If you want to splatter
paint them that's fine, but painting them via brush
is a waste of time, effort and money!
I bought the fascinator (my head thingy) in Divisoria as well for P120, I added the bead detail myself as well, it was quite fun! I'm also suuuper happy I got the perfect wig from Sathura, SM. It's a bit steep in the budget but the quality, color and texture is absolutely gorgeous. Plus, I'll be able to re-use this wig because the character range is so versatile :)

So I'll be cosplaying with Yanka, she'll be my Mio! This will be her first cosplay so I'm super excited for her, my other friends enjoyed their debuts so I'm confident she'll get accustomed to the hobby :) My other groupmates are planning to do Death the Kid, Liz and Patty from Soul Eater, and I'm doing my best to assist them as well! See ya in PCC, tomorrow!
