Absence

2 min read
I realised that I have put up my declarations on facebook but not on dA, not to mention that I haven't logged on dA for a few months. 

Since I moved to Melbourne and started university, things have been quite intense, and a lot of issues came up, such as time, and especially financial issues.

I'm now 20 years old and it's about time I start to consider for my family. I have taken up some part time jobs to take some pressure off my family. Living here is very expensive and there isn't exactly any extra cash for me to spend.

It was extremely hard for me to make this decision, but it had to be made.

Therefore, I will be (kind of) pulling out from cosplaying for a while. If I can manage to rob a costume off my friends, or do something extremely cheap, I will, but there won't be any big projects until things get a little bit better.

Wait for my comeback, because I will. This is a promise. In the mean time, thank you for all your support and recognition until now. And look out for my future updates.

Love, Kaori.

Will ONLY stop cosplaying when I am: no longer interested. which i don't think will happen any time in the near future.

I'm studying for my final IB exams, and this is my way of taking a break - surf on taobao! Mwahaha.

I'm not a premium deviant, but here's something like a poll.
I really can't decide.
So I sold off my Sheryl wig because I didn't like the color and the curls too much.
and as for the new wig, it's either this

First

or this.

Second
More pictures here as their wigs always are a bit off colored on stock links
item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13…


the first one has nicer curls, and quite a nice color, but not a lot of pink. But the second one has a puffier top rather than the synthetic scalp , it's easier to style, and I just ADORE the color and how the gradient goes.

PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE ONE.

First journal!

3 min read
Never been able to sit down and write a journal before. So here's my first shot.
Warning: I'm not much of a pretty formatting person. Neat punctuation is all I can do.

Anyway, in a few days it will mark my 5th month into cosplaying.
The past five months have really flied past in a blink, and starting cosplaying was definitely one of the best decisions I've made.
I still have a very, very, very long way to go, but I can't help but to feel incredibly proud of how far I've got, and how much I've learnt in the past five months.

I've always had hobbies. I thought they were my passions but my inconsistency and my hot-headed impulses meant that I became good in everything I've done, but not great in anything at all. Cosplaying was also a test to myself on how long I can keep up, when I deeply knew that it was a passion that I've never felt so strongly for, for the first time.

I've always been an anime fan, ever since I watched Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura in primary school. The love never died, and I've always been in love with seeing other people's cosplays. So one day my friend brought me to STGCC 2011 in Singapore and I was so amazed and stunned. It was like, a brand new door opening in front of me into a wonderland. So I thought, why not start doing it myself?

Then it was like I fell down a rabbit hole. Haha.

I love cosplay for the feeling of achievement after working hard to complete the costumes; the feeling of pride when I've learnt or figured out something new with my own hands; the feeling of tingling chills down my spines when I cosplay: I feel out of this world. It's a drug for me. I also love the friends I meet, and the things I can learn from all the wonderful cosplayers.

Anyway, enough about that. I doubt anyone is interested, so if you've read so far, thank you. :3

What to expect in my next cosplays: (Spoilers!)
Macross Frontier - Sheryl Nome: Obelisk & Nyan Nyan
Uta no Prince Sama - Ren Jinguji: Concert & Summer uni
Uta no Prince Sama - Tokiya Ichinose: Summer uni
Panty Stocking - Panty: Angel
Vocaloid - Luka: Monochrome Blue Sky
Vocaloid - Len: Gekokujou
Shining Wind - Kureha
Shining Tears - Rin Xiaomei

That's all so far. Tooooodles.
