Memories of former hastily-thrown-together cosplay are plaguing my brain.


Yes, I sacrificed my hair once upon a time for the success of a costume.
(Yasushi Takagi, NANA; Anime Boston 2007)

But my girlfriend and I are prepping a costume set for Anime Boston 2010. We’ve already started playing around with the DSLRs…


Oh, the shame… Oh, the camwhoring…

… but we’ll need to drag our sewing machines out of storage and get practicing. We’ve decided on Paradise Kiss. I swear I don’t have a thing for Ai Yazawa shoujo manga…


Must grow out my hair.


We have to sew this?!


Foreshadowing the cosplay or the work involved? >_>

It’ll be a bit strange cosplaying three years from the last event, but perhaps this year is the time to embrace the fun aspects of anime cons just a bit more. Oh, right, I have to get those panel applications in…

(Panels for Anime Boston are due next week!)
