Long time, no see!

I have begun the process of getting my Joffrey Baratheon costume commissioned.  I'm hoping to go through Firefly Path, as their costumes are the highest quality I've seen for recreations like this.  I want it as accurate and complete as possible, which means I will be asking them to create the crown as well.  Their headpiece portfolio gives me confidence that, if they're willing to take on this project, they'll make even that perfectly.  

This is the one costume that I am NOT on a budget for.  I'm willing to spend as much as they quote me in order for this to become a reality... in true Baratheon/Lannister fashion, of course!

I know it's weird to have your favorite GoT character be the most hated bad guy of TV show history, but I just couldn't help myself.  He's intensely compelling as a character.  And I rarely get to cosplay arrogant assholes.  I've wanted to do this since I first saw Joffrey in the show and his Name Day outfit is what stood out to me, so that's what I plan to get commissioned.  And yes, I will be in character for as long as I can handle the glares~!  

Several people in my family and circle of friends have expressed concern over me wearing this costume as I am a tiny female and people really really fucking HATE Joffrey.  But!  I have faith in the cosplay and convention community as a whole.   SPOILER FOR GoT - Also, I feel that with the death of Joffrey in the show, most of that animosity has faded.

So!  Wish me luck, everyone.

as you can tell by my new pics, I started getting stuff for Inga awhile back ^_^  I can't wait to cosplay him!  but I'd better get uber flexible by then so we can get more great action shots ^_^  My contacts should be here any day so I'll post more pics when I have those.  EDIT Dec 26 - got my shirt and shorts finished ^_^
EDIT Dec 27 - bought and modified the gloves ^_^

I also started work on my Marie Antoinette from Rose of Versailles cosplay.  While in Vegas this past week for Xmas, I bought a tiara for her and I have the first of 2 petticoats pretty much done.  In total, I will have 1 hoop skirt, 2 petticoats, 2 skirts, a corset, a bodice, a wig, a crown and 2 bows for this cosplay~!  this is not including the detailing I will have to do to complete it.  that means hand stitched trim and probably some beading somewhere XDDD  and I thought Sakura-hime was a lot of work @_@  

Wish me luck guys~!


After Marie is finished, I will probably be getting the accessories I need for Peter White and starting to work on Akira from TnC and Benio from Zone_00, as well as beginning the work I'll need to do to get my Genie hunter scythe for my Maka cosplay completed by Anime Iowa 2012.  


This is probably my last year going to conventions for a while too so I wanna make a big splash ^_^  


Here's a "short" list of what I have planned to finish for this next year -

modify one glove and make tail for Inga Black from Un-Go (#4)


Large Sewing Assignments ---->

2 outfits for Benio/Kisshou from Zone_00 (#5)

Peter White from Alice in the Country of Hearts  (#2)
Riza Hawkeye from Full Metal Alchemist  ?
Suzuya Tohzuki from Starry Sky  ?
Haruki Koutake from Di[E]ce  (#3)
