Oh my! Hacked?

Hey guys!

So I don't have much time right now but I want to apologize for the lack of posting lately. On my birthday, April 8th, I tried to log-in into my gmail account (which is connected to this) and I couldn't! It wouldn't take my password, so I tried resetting it but I couldn't remember the answer to my security question. I figured my email was hacked and I could no longer access my blogger or youtube account T__________T It made me cry. After filling out a form and stuff, complaining to Google I received an email on my yahoo account telling me that my form was denied and I didn't have enough information about my account to prove it was MINE. Grrrrr........ Sooo without giving up I tried the security question again and changed one letter in it..according to how I word things and it worked! I was sooooo RELIEVED. Seriously.

Anyway. I really got to go!!!!!!

P.S.

MY WIG AND GLOVES CAME IN!!!!!!!! ^______________^;;; I'll post photos later.

I MUST have this WIG!!

Soooo I really, REALLY want this. I plan on earning some money after I sell a wig or two so

hopefully I'm able to afford this beauty! ^~^ I think it will really fit for my Princess Agitha one so....I hope I can get it O_O

Maybe I can ask for it for my birthday or something next month, if I'm still jobless..if I'm not, that would be awesome xD

I do plan on making more accessories and such to sell though so let's just hope I can GET THIS WIG because I want my Agitha cosplay to look really good T-T

My wig came in~!!

So my wig for my Ayame Souma cosplay came in. Sorry I haven't posted anything in a few days...been busy in rl..and lazy online. xD



Heheheh.

I also had fun in Gure's wig...and we photoshopped 'em because it's fun. D:

She's practicing for her Fubuki cosplay. ;D

We fail at making up our minds. (-__-);

Indeed we do. So unfortunately we will not be doing our Ouran High School Host Club (Long name -__-) crossplay for AOD. FORTUNATELY...we've gone back to doing Ayame and Shigure (Kay-chan and I) which makes me very happy because I love Ayame. I'm year of the snake too...not that it really matters. XD

Heh heh...Oh yeah did I mention...I BOUGHT MY SILVERY WHITE WIG FOR AYAME TOO?!?! I couldn't handle it. I found one on sale for $26. An ebay store online was having a wig sale for these coming Holidays so I took advantage and purchased it!
Tis a lovely wig indeed, I must say.

Outfit I want to do. I will hopefully look man enough in it.


The wig I got. :]

Slow progress...

Well, I did get SOME things done over the holiday. The sword is about 1/3 of the way done. I don't have any photos yet, but I should have some when the process is a bit further along. It's just as well, so that you can see where it's all going.

After much planning and discussion, the original plan was sort of thrown out, or at least modified. No more "sandwich". Now, the main part of the handle has been made out of a baseball bat, and the wings were cut out of MDF (medium density fiberboard; available at any home improvement place). I put wooden dowels into the foam for the blade for structure and support, and the bottom end of the dowel will be put through the handle several inches.

The next steps are to carve and cover the blade, and dremel the design into the wing section. I will do those some time in the next several weeks, when I have access to the tools and space at home again.

I also spent about 2 hours simply detangling the wig. What an annoying process. When I next work on the sword, I'll work on the styling of the wig more as well. I got a curling iron with adjustable temperature which I'm hoping will help solve the problems I've been having with it.

In Gwendolyn and general construction news, I FINALLY got a shipment of Wonderflex in the mail, and will be playing with it this weekend with my heatgun. I'll also be experimenting with various combinations of craft foam, polystyrene, hot glue, and the heat gun to see what comes from it. I'll post my results next week.

If you are looking for Wonderflex, I got mine from Mainstage Theatre Supply, where I got a full sheet for around $30 shipped, MUCH cheaper than cosplaysupply.com's $70ish dollar charge for a sheet. (EDIT: I have reason to suspect that Mainstage, while nice people, do not have a website that is as secure as it should be for credit cards. Please use caution when using your card over the internet. I recommend trying to phone in your order and/or paying with a different method.) I will probably still end up ordering Friendly Plastic from them, though, unless I find it somewhere else. I'm thinking about ordering some Fosshape as well... but more on that another time.
