Soo... Otakon is less than 30 days away... (Why are you so early this year!? D: )

I've been working like crazy on costumes since school ended... I still feel like I am going to struggle to get everything done in time. (Why did I decide to do 3 costumes, again?)

Costume #1: About 75% done.
This is a simplier costume, and I had started the beginnings of it a few months back, so it wasn't too hard to get it mostly finished. WHat's left now is dyeing/styling the wig and a few details, including the shoes (the part I'm not looking forward to).

Costume #2: About 75% done, more or less. (It's hard to approximate)
Been working my ass off recently on this one. Lots of little nit-picky details to worry about, but after a few more odds and ends, this will be done. Need to straight/cut/style the wig. Hope it turns out ok D:
I'm going to try to make the weapon for this. The issue is time, really, as it's not overly difficult to make. So... if you include that in the percentage, it's more like 50% done T_T

Costume #3: 5% done.
LOL. It's 5% includes buying the fabric and having a plan of action for the construction. Other than that, this is 0% done. LUCKILY I got the fabric today, so next up it's mock-up time and then I'll go at it. I'm also going to have a fun time with the prop for this one... I guess you can call it a prop. Whatever. This is going to be the most interesting/difficult/most likely frustrating costume I've ever made, so wish me luck! I saved it for last, of course XD HINT: almost all fabric parts are going to be made of VINYL. *dies*

Ok, so the guessing game is over, lol. It's not like my friends don't know what I'm making and I have mentioned the costumes other places on the internet, but, I'mma keep it under wraps here.

P.S. The Costumes above are actually listed in reverse order of the days I'm wearing them on!! D:

------------------------------------------------

As for the actual event of Otakon, I don't have many specific things planned. I plan to take part in photoshoot/gatherings for each costume on each day. Other than that, I'm sure I'll do plenty of wandering around and browsing the Dealer's Room. I will probably spend half the weekend in the Artist Alley, since several of my friends (~skei, ~bluucircles, *AriesNamarie, =JustLikeAnythingElse, and ~miniejungie ) will have tables there. Check there first if you're looking for me! lmao (I'm not kidding).

And OMG. I'm spending a fortune on costumes... (as to be expected :/)
Costume #2 is approaching the $150 mark, I'm not sure about the others...

I'm very excited for Otakon! After all this work, it'd better be rewarding! ^_^;;; So close, and yet so far...

P.S. I've been sorta sick the last few days... I hate having a cold in the summer... Today it's running-yet-stuffy-nose-and-sneeze-a-bazillion-times day. Which I like better than sore throat day ^_^'
