Welcome
CanniAnniRoxas here, updating you on my cosplaying adventures in preparation for Anime Milwaukee 2010. This is my first cosplay and I'm certainly excited. I'll update this world frequently as possible with new additions to my costume, re-stylings of my wig(s), and of course tons of photos.
Wish me luck!

AMKE and Valentines
!D-Day and V-day!
Hey guys! long time no post right? I haven't had a chance to lately betwen working and then finally my first convention! Huzzah! ^^ AMKE was this past weekend and needless to say it was a blast. It went off without a hitch and i'm very glad. I went in cosplay on Saturday (The biggest and main day)and I was glad I did. Sadly even though i ordered my new wig it didn't arrive until a few days before and i didn't get a chance to finsih styling it before the con. So after doing some quick re-working I decided to use my old Roxas wig. :] It still worked although needless to say I spent a lot of time plucking back up the wilting spikes (I carried got2B Freeze Spray around with me throughout the con). I didn't finish my new wig because right before the con I got sick and didn't feel like doing anything, let alone finishing my wig. :[ When I went I was still sick so I was heavily drugged through out most of the con and I lost my voice on friday night xD Although I sounded horrible I was still haappy and ended up having tons of fun. I meet a lot of new friends and even found myself an Axel. x3 We raved together with Riku and had a blast. [Go look up their channel on YouTube and subscribe because they are awsome and I loved their cosplay! Illegal Cosplay ]I'm happy to say that this time I am TRULY retiring the old wig. After the saturday rave it really was done for and now it hangs on my bedpost with the glowsticks :] lol. It served me well! I have a lot of pictures and I will put them all up in a seperate post. I haven't added any pictures in a very long time. Ones from AMKE will be in their own post sepreate from this but I'm gonan post my long ago promised ones of me in my Org XIII coat and V-day ones in this post as an edit later today(I'm updating from school computers and they don't like photobucket)My new wig will be more heavily styled than the last as i've gotten lots of new advice and ideas from other con-goers. I'm sad to say I will NOT be attending No-brand Con this year, but there is still a small chance I will make it to ACEN. Money is tight and ACEN is REALLY expensive compared to AMKE. What I can say for certian is i WILL be at GEEK-KON in September this year, as week as Kitsune-kon and AMKE again next year :] (Both are one week after another! INTENSE!) But for now i sit with a immese Con-Over, and a still very raspy voice, contemplating where all my money went off to~ Haha. I feel totally tired but I'm still happy and accomplished. Cosplay is something i'm not nessecarily GOOD at but I enjoy it greatly and whether I end up cosplaying or not I intend on going to other cons in the future! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures and have a good St. patricks day to! <3
The List
Cosplay List
Well I've figured one thing out for certain. I have no steady cash flow to go towards the remainder of my cosplay until after the holidays. I have Christmas shopping (which always kills your paycheck), and all sorts of College Application Fees to pay for. Not to mention gas money. Yes Roxas is coming up with the short end of the stick till the holidays pass. After that there will be X-mas cash abound though. So no worries. The reaminder of my cosplay to be obtained consists of the following:
Wig(Completed but I may buy another one for attempt number two.)Org. XIII Coat from http://www.milanoo.com -Approx. $80-A concrete, solid, reliable, styling gel.(Got2B products are the best thing ever guys! Seriously its godly!)A pair of heavy black bootsBlack pantsAnother blonde, unstyled wig. -Approx. $15-Wig cap -Approx. $3-Black gloves
I blatantly recommend Milanoo.com to all of you who may be interested in purchasing a cosplay outfit (If your not sewing inclined, much like myself), a pre-styled or plain wig, or any sort of Gothic Lolita outfit. They have great stuff and their prices are amazing <3 I'll be coming back to update this list as I obtain said items. Hopefully I'll get it all far before March.
On another note; AMKE announced new guests and I'm terribly excited. Todd Haberkorn and Wendy Powell are returning this year along with The Spoony Bard and Uncle Yo. I'm enthused to say the least, because coupled with Little Kuriboh and Vic Mignogna you just can't go wrong. <3 The only thing that could possibly make me more giddy would be to bring Q&J (Quinton Flynn and Jeff Nimoy) into the mix. But that is jsut wishful thinking. And on the subject of wishful thinking, I'm considering attending No-Brand Con in the later spring this upcoming year. It a bit far off, and a slight journey on my part, but it would be great. That's a ways off though~
We got our first snow a bit ago, and I've taken some new pictures to take advantage of it. I'll have them up soon! Thanks!
