HEYYYYYYYYYYYY~!!!

i guess i've been pretty bad with journals lolol. but really, i've just been SO. BUSY. but it's been a GREAT busy. i finished my foundation year @ my art/design college early May [which by the way, was amazing, and i improved SO much in like 8 months. i thought i knew how to draw before but NOOOOhohoho, wow, i feel like an entirely reborn & improved artist x_X i shall hope to update some stuff soon to show you guys~!] & have been working as a concept artist/graphic designer for a solar energy business. It's actually pretty interesting; but I cant discuss it for another week or so, so i'll post about it later... i am going into Fashion Design this fall, FINALLY! YAY! my school's program is to die forrr... and i'm not trying to boast or anything, but their fashion is what made them become my dream school & i simply just cannot wait to start!!! X333333333333 weeee

anyway, i have a pretty long summer. . . it totals to about 4 months; so i've been keeping busy with various art stuff, and making cosplays for upcoming con's !! i will be at:

♥ Anime Expo - All days
♥ Comic Con - Sunday [+more?]
♥ Nisei Week in Little Tokyo, LA
♥ PMX - Have yet to buy
♥ Anime LA [in January]

will any of you be there? i'll be around often, i'm pretty sure, as i'm taking her to AX & will see her at most of the other cons XD i'd love to meet more of you!

. . .SO WHAT AM I COSPLAYING?
well. . .
here's the list of who i want to be
☆ = what i'm currently working on

♥ [☆] Mio Akiyama [K-ON! school uniform] [70%]

♥ Luka Megurine [5%] i really really want to be her by AX but don't think i'll have the time... otherwise it'll probably debut @ Comic Con or something ;^;

♥ Miku Hatsune [official uniform v3.0 !! + fancy LED crap i'm gonna try adding]

♥ Miku Hatsune [World is Mine] [85%]

♥ Miku Zatsune [sexy version, lol] [5%]

♥ Ranmao [Kuroshitsuji] [10%]


i think it's funny that the characters i happened to choose [well, besides normal miku, i guess OTL] have BOOBS. like me! HAHA. that means i can cosplay "correctly", not that that matters at all! but, i feel it adds a touch of completeness.

!!!!!!! ATTN !!!!!!!!

Can you help me with this?

For my Mio cosplay, i haven't decided whether i'd be making her autumn uniform [+sweater vest] or winter one [+coat]. I was looking online for this sweater vest: [link] [found @ curecos.com] but can't seem to find one that's not overly BAGGY and is slightly fitted.

Have any of you seen a store that sells anything remotely similar to this in an off-white / pale yellow color? Or know of a website that sells them [besides cosmates]? If there is a site, do you know how to choose what size, since like i mentioned, i want it to look "fit" yet still loose like in the photo.

I am giving myself about a week to find this vest, & if not i'm gonna make the coat..so..

Thanks in advance & I appreciate all of your help very much~!! >3< !!!!
