WCS Autsralia O.o

  • Reading: Dogs
  • Eating: Chocolate yummmm
Wow O.o what an insane weekend! actually, I should really say; 'What an insane month!' since the lead up to WCS selections consisted of very little sleep, a lot of sewing, and way too much over due uni work ... >.> haha oh well (You can tell I really care about my uni work :P )

:P I found it funny that everyone was calling this years competition the "cursed year". Though there's definitely some truth there! :P For those that didn't watch/follow the WCS; basically every team this year had something bad go wrong to them throughout the day. (kinda makes you wonder what'll happen next year O.o)
It started off with the guys from Contra Mundi having to pull out the day of the competition, due to Nny giving himself a concussion that morning. And then from there, everyone's props began to fall apart, fall off costumes and skits fell apart too. O.o man that was an interesting day. For :iconsilhouettedwhim: and myself, it started when we forgot to bring our pouch of sand we were going to use in our skit :P which is a darn shame considering we made a special trip to the beach at 1am in the morning, ran away from bogans, and jumped over rocks just to get it :P
DX and we majorly stuffed up the skit too (Though thats DX my fault). I almost took out :iconsilhouettedwhim: twice with that huge sword. She's very lucky she didn't get concussed as well :)

WCS was quite the experience. There were so many amazing cosplayers that we were up against O.o And every single one of them was outstanding! :D In both costumes and skits. I'm really very glad I met everyone, and congratulations to all! XD You guys all deserve a Place! :) A very big congrats to Asham and Mel for winning

ok. I just want to say a super huge thanks to :iconsilhouettedwhim: (my cosplay idol and partner! XD) for all your help and perseverance throughout WCS. And thanks so much for allowing me to pretty much live at your place when my sewing maching broke a week before the comp! XD I'd have been so doomed otherwise
I also have to give a huuuuuuuge shoutout to both :iconstormwarden83: and :iconfloatyman: for helping us get our costumes completed in time :D Thanks so much guys! You're both legends.

Well ... as much as I enjoyed WCS, Meeting with old and new friends, and spending too much money on anime ... I am well and truly glad I'm back in warm brissy catching up on my sleep :D
... >.> but I'm not looking forward to having to work through my large pile of uni assignments ... (kill me)

Until Gencon/Animania

So lovely to see you girls on the weekend! :hug:

~Out of doubt, out of dark~
:iconpaphio:
Thanks! it was great to see you guys too :glomp:

oh wonderful! Dana's shoot's going to be so much fun ^^ who are you going as?
:iconzimiel:
I am the Gryphon - more crossplay ftw! Hehe. Which means I'll be in binding all day again *sob* Ah well, should be fun anyway =D

Are you going to mini or gencon on the weekend? I'm doing both, lol, mini on Sat and Gencon on Sun - recycling WCS costume XD Hehe. See you soon! :hug:

~Out of doubt, out of dark~
:iconpaphio:
oh awesome! XD You'll make a great Gryphon!!!
*frantically gets back to sewing Queens of Hearts* yeah :S binding hurts. do you use sports tape? :S

:S unfortunately I can only make it on the sunday of gencon, since I'm on prac at the moment. dw - I was initally going to recycle WCS costumes on saturday too :P which costume will you be doing for that day?
:iconzimiel:
I use a compression shirt with bandages over the top for extreme flatness (i.e. Suzaku's bodysuit XD), but for the Ailce shoot I'll just use the compression shirt.

Well, because we're going to both cons (animania and gencon) we're wearing WCS costumes to both, lol. Boring, I guess, but it allows more people to see them XD And I don't have time to make anything else before then OTL...

See you on Sunday at gencon then! <33
