Yeahhh...I don't do that...I get too embarrassed to pose in the mirror...'orz I probably should do that.
Really? I went to the rave one time and I don't think I was 18...XD Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know how I got to go...hrmm...It wasn't that fun, I actually like dancing, not fist bumping the air.
Oh! Well that sounds super pretty too! Unfair! You're so pretty and so talented! You should have had to compromise! Hehe~ Kidding~ But you are kind of a lot awesome~
Yeah it totally is in the long run~
Oh no no! Its alright~ I only dress uncomfortably on stage~ I would never dress like that everyday~
I'm glad you understand about asking commissions... that does sound really embarrassing. ;3; Oh yeah, getting your picture taken is kind of awkward... but I usually practice posing the day before in front of a mirror so I vaguely know how I should look. xD not weird at all you know
They have the rave almost immediately after the masquerade at the ones I go to. :V But I've never gone to the rave because it's 18+ (and I don't like dancing anyway).
Thanks! C: It helps to look at clothes you own for reference. xD;
Aaah, I know, it's a bit sad. I wish I had more time. :( I didn't draw as much as I wanted to.

Wow, wow you looks amazing! The clothes and everything looks prefect! You're pretty good in sewing it seems I'm glad you had fun...and yeah time passes too fast, I can't believe summer is ending, either...
Yessss! Omigosh, Animal Crossing does it best to the point where you can even play those games inside the game! ;w;
Yes, you learn a lot from a project like this. I remember reading Kuragehime and not knowing anything about the sewing stuff that they were talking about and as soon as I finished my own sewing projects I understood perfectly! XD
Oh, I totally understand that! The first time I asked for a commission I almost cried 'cause the artist's friend thought I was asking for yaoi and I wasn't...'orz And getting your picture taken is awkward, too, because I don't know how to pose for a camera, I don't know if you had that problem too...it's awful for me...'orz
Yeah, at the cons I go to they usually have the masquerade sometime in the day and then the rave at night (or some dance) as it moves into Sunday (so that nobody sleeps)
Thanks! :) Oh yeah, I get that. Like how in Animal Crossing there are lots of items from other Nintendo games! 8D
And thanks again! There were some things I wish I could have done better, but I feel like I understand sewing a lot more after doing this. :D
Aaaah, but I was so awkward. xD;;; I'm so bad at talking to people. I remember once I asked for a commission from someone, but somehow I was too shy to ask for a colored picture that I settled for a sketch. I... I don't even know how shyness even influenced me like that, but it did...
Exactly!! :D I actually kind of wanted to go to the Sunday concert since you said the piano player was good, but we wanted to finish buying stuff instead. xD So we missed it.
I think they should have the masquerade at midday. That way, you still have time to do stuff afterwards. It'd be a good break between buying stuff and taking pictures. :T The cons I go to all have nighttime masquerades.

Haha, thanks again! xDD It's a wig, though. My hair is black (or really dark brown), but it looks kind of like a bob or crazy weird fluffiness when I don't flat iron it.
And yeah, I suppose it's worth it! :P
Oooh, yeah. That's really uncomfortable. ;u; That's why I don't really like going to parties or things.
WAO! Great costume! Chyaaahhh...I would be in the group who isn't completely familiar with Klonoa, I only know it from the references from the Tales games (I like it when games reference other games inside their games..*3*)
It looks REALLY awesome for a first try! Nice and clean and detailed! ;D
THAT'S SO COOL that you got to meet (awkwardly) Jinglestan! ;3; It seems you bought a lot of crayzeh, stuff, too! :D
Haha, at cons I sometimes got to the events, but I'm so worried about the things to buy and look at and the people to take pictures of I usually only get to see about 5 minutes or whatever of the panels or something.
That's strange that they had the Masquerade so late! I think at the ones I went to those kinds of things were usually really early like mid-day...'cause I remember every time there was light outside (but then afterwards it was dark, but not too dark). Oh wellzz...;3; At least you had fun doing other stuffs at the con! :D
I'm a total creep but... you look good in that outfit! I love your hair!! You look totally cute~ <3 Hehe, even your pose is very Stef-esque~
At least they're fun and mostly worth the money~
Hehe, surprisingly I'm the same way, I get totally timid~ Like its even worse if I know no one but everyone else looks like they know people... you know?
Maybe they will eventually~ :3
Haha! xD Normally I do look sort of similar to him. I actually did go to a con dressed as him one year merely for my own amusement.
Haha, yeah. The downfall of going to conventions.... ;u;
Aaaah, I'm not very good around tons of people in real life. xD If I went by myself, I probably wouldn't be able to handle it. :,D
Aw, stinks! :T You'd think they'd get stronger over time.
Dang, I live on the west coast D:
But it looks and sounds like you had a lot of fun!
I'm always the merch person you see at cons walking around with all the Japanese toys and fanmade booksmarks and things. XD
I always assumed you looked like the fem version of Stef until I saw your picture~ XD
Oh my! That's like the Steam Punk World's Fair I went to, that was super expensive too! And all the stuff inside! I'm going to go so broke if I kept going to fairs and conventions... >3>
I love tons of people! I'm a little jealous now~ XD
I'm glad you're okay~ And your feet never really get used to it either...
Haha, thanks! xD;
It's pretty dang expensive. I think paying at the door is $80, and pre-registration can be as low as $60 if you're early enough; that's for all 3 days. This is an estimation, I'm not entirely sure. xD; Anyway, that's just to get into the building. Merchandise is expensive.
Yep, pretty much! :D And with tons more people, too. xD
Ah yeah, I'm good now. ;u; Haha. That sounds rough, though.
Dang it you're so pretty!! Holy goodness girl!!
Oh wow! That's really far from where I am too! How much are the tickets? I mean I would love to go but I would need to save a lot of money and learn to make better clothes and not just plush dolls~ XD
Oh okay, I get it~ Its kind of like theO, only in person and with more things to buy~ I would be totally broke if I ever went~ XD
It's okay~ It's the life of an actress~ <3 I hope your feet feel okay now, I know mine kill for like the next three days after wearing bad shoes...
Fixed the photos! :D
Otakon is in Baltimore. It's one of the biggest anime conventions on the east coast. C: I probably won't be going next year though, since it's so expensive. xD;
It's not exactly like vidcon, because vidcon is for youtube people to meet up with each other. Otakon and other anime conventions are gatherings for people in general who are into anime, manga, and video games. Some people socialize, but I mostly just buy stuff and take pictures of cool costumes. :D
Sorry to hear you've been through similar shoe pains as me. ;3;
I can't see the photos! >.> Anyway, that sounds like it was a ton of fun! :D Where was Otakon? I'm not really familiar with many things like this sorry... I would really love to go next year~ But I can't... So you'll have to tell us all about it again!
Is this like a be convention of sorts? Like Vidcon?
And I totally understand the shoes... I've had to be onstage with shoes that were uncomfortable, its horrible! You're totally not being dramatic, its like the worse feeling ever!
