I've had to cancel my plans to attend Bishie Con this year, as money turned out to be a bit tighter than I'd imagined it would be.
It's sad, but I feel fairly mature/pleased about it, because now I'll be able to buy Christmas presents. ^_^
Also, due to a dwindling interest in Hetalia cosplay (and also lack of funds) I won't be going to Anime Detour as Pirate England. This is mostly due to the fact that I'd like to practice more on other projects before I tackle something as complicated as I feel Pirate England would be, and also because I'd like to do it justice and because I want to make it just...
really epic, ya know? X3;
At least, that's how I feel about it. My fellow pirates France and Spain felt the same way, so it was an easy decision. (Although I watched
Pirates 1 to 3 yesterday and felt sudden and intense disappointment. You've no idea how much a wanted a flint-lock pistol to carry with me...)
I WILL be going to Detour as Hitomi (movie version) from
Escaflowne and Kushina from
Naruto. I've rediscovered my
Naruto cosplay roots (I've been itching to take ANBU Sakura out in the snow and get some good pictures of her, as I really don't have many...) and before I put my love for that series completely on the shelf and move on to other things I'd like to cosplay Kushina, as I'd wanted to be her since she was first mentioned.
I'll probably do genin/chuunin(?) Kushina, since I think that costume's incredibly cute. X3 I went looking for obnoxiously long red wigs, too, and found a nice one that was pretty cheap! 8D
The plan was to be Kushina with my own red hair, which was about that length, but I chopped it all off a few months ago and now it's really too short to be anyone. XD It was really refreshing, though, to have it all cut off. I can't explain it but...I'd been feeling anxious and unhappy for weeks before hand, and then I cut off all my hair and I instantly felt better...
BUT! I'll also be bringing Omi and Alfred with me to Detour (I found a bomber jacket on Ebay for Alfred...I just need to the patches!), as I've promised I'd cosplay both for some friends. X3;;
I also may be going to
SacAnime, and hopefully I'll have Finland done by then to take him with me. X3 If not, then I'll be bringing just Alfred~
