Ms. Marvel and Gwen are finished!! They debut at Acen this past weekend.
Ms. Marvel got a ton of attention, way more than I expected! Poor Gwen didn't
get recognized by a single person, but I didn't really expect it to. I'm more
excited to debut it on the net once I get some really nice outdoor photos ^_^

This week is cosplay crunch time! I'm finally going to finish Gwen, and
I'm so excited about it!! I've been slaving over her shoes for the past two days
(yes, I'm a reeeeally slow worker) so I'm almost at the point where I just want
it to be done already. I wasn't able to finish Ms. Marvel for Comicon, so I wore
Psylocke instead and got even more photos of that costume o_o I hope I
can get both Gwen and Ms. Marvel done for Acen!!

Tekkoshocon was fun times, but I've barely got time to recover since
Shinbokucon is this Sunday, then next Sunday is the Pittsburgh Comicon, then
two weeks after that is ACen!! Craziness! I'm planning to finish Ms. Marvel
for Comicon and Gwen for ACen.
I've made a couple updates to the site including my convention experience (I judged the Tekko masquerade ^^) and at least a few pictures are up for each of my costumes. I eventually want to add a tutorial section, since I feel my photo-rich documentation of the making of my SailorMoon wig should be shared :)
