We actually went to an operational train station for this set, the Olympia/Lacey Train Station. Fortunately there were barely any people there at that time, so we were able to get some great shots. The others we took by an abandoned train track and a vacant lot at Lacey. This is my first time to do a private outdoor photoshoot with reflectors, it was fun, and I’m glad that photographers Ashley Nelson and Kristin Johnson were very open to experimenting with them. At Lacey, the lot was by the road, and there was a bunch of rubble and container vans with cool graffiti, it was interesting!

The costume itself was made during my spare time for a few months, it debuted at Sakura-Con 2010. Tailoring it was specifically challenging, since it incorporated elements that were a bit unusual. For example, it is a two-layered short skirt with frontal slit revealing the shorter white skirt inside, and back half-petticoat with a flat front, which took me the longest to figure out how to do. The top portion of the costume was a very altered Simplicity Sewing Pattern 3618. There are a few things I still want to improve with this costume, but I hope you guys like it.^_^ Click here to continue reading “Code Geass: C.C. Train Station Photoset”…

Sakura-Con 2010 was my first cosplay con here in the USA. It was overwhelming to see at least half the attendees cosplaying. Most of the attendees wore some sort of otaku gear. This was a place where people not wearing anything otaku would stand out.

I’ve been wanting to cosplay something more gothic lolita. Then C.C. from Code Geass had this particular costume in episiode 14, so I decided to go with it. Click here to continue reading “C.C. from Code Geass at Sakura-Con 2010″…

Jue Matrix version was my very first cosplay, too bad I haven’t saved any pictures of it. Back then I wasn’t gutsy enough to do the dojo scene version, but I thought it would be really cool to do. Hope you like it. Click here to continue reading “Jue from The Animatrix: Final Flight of the Osiris”…

For fun I made a red plaid skirt and beret for a test shoot with a superb photographer and a personal friend. Little did I know that I would get to use it again last January 23, for a photo shoot session with the class of Mr. Raymund Isaac! XD Click here to continue reading “Black & Red”…

Finally after months of waiting my two favorite cosplayers updated their sites, both of them having Sheryl Nome cosplay. It’s hard to compare, both executed the character’s costume well. Yaya Han’s version is more elaborate, it looks great. Ms. Adella’s costume is a simpler version/costume of the character, looks as good, since her skin tone matches of that of the character.
