Bow Fail and More

Hi Everybody!  (said in Dr. Nick voice,…hemahem….from the Simpsons) So I’ve been working on crap and saying to myself,… I need to update my SITE!!!  I have been slowly working on my Mio dress.  Yeah, remember how, a few posts ago, I said, “What if I could get it done in a week?!”  HA HA HA HA HA…..  Silly me. So I just wanted to share with you a few photos of my Bow Fail.  Yup that’s right.  I’m not too happy with how my big bow turned out (for the back of the dress).   I did make another test bow which turned out.. || Continue Reading →

Mio Akiyama Costume Update

Above: The bodice part of the dress with small gathers at the top. Just wanted to give a little update!  I thought I would be working non-stop on my costume last time I posted and unfortunately that didn’t happen.  Got distracted by having a yard sale, other boring stuff and going to a pirate party.  And of course there were lots of people dressed up. So anyway, I posted a few progress photos.  This dress is so much easier than my last costume.  It’s more like the Oriental Santa dress I made a while ago.  I actually did use part of the pattern from that dress.. || Continue Reading →

The K-ON Cosplay Madness Begins!

—If you’re an anime fan and you’re into school girl anime or moe type anime then I’m sure you’ve seen K-ON!  It’s the hottest thing in Japan right now.  Well, I’m jumping on board with the other fans(not that I haven’t been watching it since the beginning).   I’ve read some reviews from other sites and hearing a lot of negative reviews.  I understand some of their criticism because it’s a pretty calm anime and it’s gotten away from focusing on the girls music, but i can’t help but like it.  I have.. || Continue Reading →

It’s a Eureka-Shimei Moe Attack!!

If you’ve seen either Eureka Seven or Ikki Tousen then you know both of these chicks are bad ass!! (Eureka and Shimei) Yet, they seem to have had a moment of weakness right here…  The little girls in both of them have come unleashed!!  All they can see is glowy stars, hearts and sparkles!  Someone,.. apparently Barry, thinks they are pretty awesome and sweet. (Please click this picture to see it in all it’s splendor!!) Okay, okay!  So if the Moe picture isn’t your bag, you can check out the Convention section to see more pictures that are bad.. || Continue Reading →

Sango the Cat as…the God Warrior!

I just had to share this video that Phantombump did, hrmm, I mean his cat Sango made (pronounced Song-go) .  Sango is…..The GOD WARRIOR!!  If you have no clue what I’m talking about, it’s from the show Wife Swap.  It’s very viral on Youtube.com (just search for God Warrior).  Basically this woman who claims to be extremely Christian gets swapped to go live with a family whose religious beliefs are Wiccan.  I say, claims, because I think she’s just nuts.  Even when her family sees her reacting when she returns home, they look like they want.. || Continue Reading →



A little Video Tribute to “Fried Chicken Song”

A little Video Tribute to “Fried Chicken Song”

Well, this is completely unrelated to the usual subject matter I post on my site, but hey, that’s why there’s a randomness category!  For all the other wacky crap I love. My boyfriend and I originally saw this video, on Digg.com, called “Fried Chicken Song”.  We thought it was hilarious and it’s hard not to like the guy in the video.  He actually has a pretty good voice, gets a little silly and laughs at himself a bit.  I like it!  My boyfriend and I were talking about the video and he didn’t think I could sing in the style of the video. .. || Continue Reading →
