Okay. So. Otakuthon. World cosplay summit.

Holy-fuckity-awesome right? But.

As you may or may not be aware, I’ve yet to actually do a costume from a Japanese source. At least to completion, and Kureha just… frankly wouldn’t be up to snuff. She’s not impressive enough and I’d have to re-do the whole costume anyways because my sewing abilities have tripled since I last touched her skirt.

That sounded wrong… Moving on!

Because of the Otakuthon/WCS development I’ve had to re-jig my cosplay plans for this year. Not to mention that I had a small move.

Some of the Calamity household took it harder than others…

Like, really hard.

While I was consoling my traumatised kitten, I started planning out how I was going to attack the WCS costume, and the rest of summer. Needless to say, Weepinbelle VictreeBelle has been pushed back, so too has the Dragon*Con costume I’d planned out.

Don’t worry, she was fine once she found the sunshine.

So. Without further ado,
