so i actually have uploaded two slide shows because i have a backlog of photoshoot material. so the first is from the darkstalkers photoshoot taken a couple weeks ago at FanExpo 2012

music is Sweet Sweet Heartkiller by Say Hi to Your Mom, from their album Impeccable Blahs, you can find that in itunes here:

much love to my girls Ally, Lisa and Deanna for assisting and filming the behind the scenes video i posted up in my last journal entry. And of course Vixen for being a beautiful Morrigan, and John Heng for being the photographer. He felt badly about the shoot since he felt I should have had more photos to work with. but i had plenty and he's just crazy. after 3 weeks straight of no sleep (sakuracon, finals for the college semester, then fanexpo) i probably wasn't the most pleasant creature to deal with, but they did it swimmingly.

next is a slideshow that was backlogged, the Meiko photoshoot for Cos&Effect 2011

music is Miss Cinderella by Dazzle Vision, from their album To the Next. you can find it on itunes here:

I'm not as happy with this slideshow as i was the darkstalkers one. probably because it's older and i've been staring at these pics for months. anyway, much thanks to John Heng and Sarah Jelic for being the photographers

i need to update my cosplay.com profile with the Lilith costume. but i am tres lazy, and i have so many other things i have to do as well. baaaaah so much work! i'll probably continue trying to get as many of my backlogged photoshoots uploaded into a slideshow as possible. next with probably be the Green Lantern shoot from over a year ago. featuring photos by the amazing Molly McIsaac and with the awesome Maiea as Princess Iolande (myself as Sendrina)

-------------------

now onto the cosplay announcement. in the back of my mind i've been debating on what to wear to cos&effect this year. but i finally came to a decision thanks to a friend of mine. Vixen had suggested a while ago that i cosplay Invader Lum from Urusei Yatsura. it's a really retro, oldschool anime that's funny as hell. i've never cos'd from it due to the rather -ahem- miniscule clothing required. but i figure it will probably be pretty comfortable for a con that's held during a heat wave. i also made a deal with a friend of mine. a secret deal shhhh can't tell you. i shall also be attempting to finish my blood elf warlock. but it's very time consuming :C
