Charleston and Sakura Trees

[aimeekitty]

I'm off on a plane to Charleston, South Carolina to see my family! (I'll be back in a week.) I'll have limited email access but lots of access to fried chicken. See you on the other side!

completely unrelated,... I am SO getting a sakura tree for my new place. (potential nurseries: hashimoto and san gabriel) I'm getting all weepy just thinking about it. Hopefully I won't kill it. lol.
(also going to get some old fashioned roses)

svetlana is wonderful~ ! :)

I bet you'll really enjoy my manga/book, Japan Ai. you can see some outtakes, etc, here:

and you can get it on amazon or your local bookstore! :)

as to cosplay, I would pick something you really love. maybe go through your favorite anime characters and try to find one that doesn't look too hard? the easiest things are to do things that are mostly "normal" clothes. Like if there's a skuld from AMG outfit that is mostly a tshirt and jeans...? then you could just buy some wings maybe..? then you dont have to make much at all, right?

or pick something that isn't too close fitting or complicated if you haven't sewn much before and you want to sew something. A lot of sewing stores like joanns have sewing classes, too. :)

with lolita, it's completely up to your personal taste whether you like sweet or gothic things, etc. just look around and save things you like, and then gradually decide. :)

I'm working on a "how to cosplay" / "cosplay funny comic" type book right now, but it wont be done till next year, so hopefully you'll pick it up when it comes out, it seems like it's right up your alley!

omg!you have read my mind!!i love skuld from oh!my goddess,i think she is awesome!!i am definately getting that cosplay book when it comes out,because when you live in australia like i do,there arent that many people around who can help you and most bookstores have never even heard of cosplaying let alone have a book on it.i was looking at cosplaying as skuld but i thought her signature red and white with hammer outfit was a leeeetle too hard for my first go.i am making a dragonball z goku training uniform for my brother,because thats relatively easy to make.
thanks for your advice!i will definately be writing you again!but not too often or you will probably get sick of me!ta ta - megami_sky
