Four days to go. Bunnies, hair cut and the scythe.

Only four days to go. In three days we buy our food and last minute supplies, make-up remover wipes and a lint roller, plus false eyelashes. I am so pumped. Today has really been a good day so far. I just got done cutting about three or four inches off my hair. It feels so short because it had been so long for a while now. And although I love when my hair is long (I normally have it in tight braids.) it was uneven and was damaged. Plus it was very hard to fit under some of my newer wigs. So I decided today that it had to be cut. I will post a picture of it on Friday when I am in my day zero outfit. I would do so now but my hair is wet and limp. It doesn't look good straight.

My dress came! Look at the bunny! I am in love with it. It fits perfectly, looks amazing on me and is the perfect length. I couldn't be happier. The long wait was well worth it. Next time I will make sure to pay a bit extra for EMS shipping so the tracking works better. Otherwise I am very pleased with Oo Jia. She is a very good seamstress. I have loved this print since I started getting interest in lolita fashion but there was no way I could afford the used price this dress costs nor would it fit my bust. So I am very thankful Oo Jia makes these dresses. I can finally wear my dream dress proudly, knowing it looks good on my body and I can breath in it, not the other way around.


And now I will have something comfortable to wear during day zero and during down time. Since the dress works well with Alice (Pandora Hearts) I might wear it for a casual cosplay during the pre-meets for the cosplay contest so I can keep her outfit a surprise.


The scythe is almost done. I fixed the top of the wooden rod so it looks clean, painted on the varnish last night. The blade also just got another coat of varnish and is looking wonderful. It even hides some of my mistakes. I think it will really pop on stage now. I just need to put the last layer on the edges and make sure I didn't miss any spots then I will be 100% done with everything.

Which is wonderful! Last con we were so behind it was very stressful but we're doing great this time around. Plus I got my dress on time and made some extra money to buy myself some eyelashes. So I'm in a great mood. The days are flying by and soon con will roll around. I really cannot wait to pack the car and head out, see our friends and cosplay. And of the contest will be a lot of fun too. I hope we make lots of new friends this year and have a wonderful time. Hopefully this good mood stays too! I'm sure it will. There really isn't anything to stress over. Thank goodness.


So that's it for now. It may be my last post for a few days until Thursday or Friday. I'm trying to calm myself and turn my attention to my novel until con so I can get some major work done before then. So toodles for now!
