A Bit about Myself:
I’m a girl that probably never will grow up on the inside. I love cosplay, I love wearing fluffy pink dress and I think my head is too big. I am however very hard on myself, nothing is ever good enough, hence why my site always keep changing and keep re-edit photo and it’s never finished. Though I’m trying hard to not change little crazy things and just finish catching up the costume I haven’t put up. I sew pretty much everything myself and am very particular about every little detail to the point that I can stress myself out. In the end, I love getting attention for the hard work I have done, but I also love stay behind the camera and admire other good cosplayers.

I spend half of my life in Taiwan and Half of it in US, so I guess culturally I’m very mixed. I have a degree in Fashion Design, but I’m still trying to figure out what exactly that I want to do in that world. It’s a world that can get quite tricky for me, for I can be quite straight forward and not diplomatic enough. However, I figure that I can learn just like how I did with sewing.

I maintain and update this site by myself, and I sincerely hope that you will enjoy it.

So I think I’m stuck with rain or something to that extent, so far whenever I want to do anything costume related it always rains. *sigh* The weather was pretty much sprinkling all day for the day I was there for CWT19.  Therefore, some photo that I took or when I have photo taken by othesr are pretty much sprinkling. ^^;; Can’t really tell in the photo can you!?

I make sure I don’t get there TOO late this time, as I’m still trying to get use to the timing of taking public transportation. I took the time and iron everything the day before and sort my wig out. It didn’t like it at all after being travel from the US and being squashed with hair spread on them. Took me quite a LONG time to sort it out. I did my usual routing of putting on the heavy make up for the photo at home, since I REALLY don’t like that at the convention at all. Bear in mind there is no hotel room at Taiwanese con, it is pretty much just at an gymnasium. After I arrived and found my friend Arashi, we chat a bit as we didn’t see each other for few years and proceed to changing. Didn’t take me took long as I already finish the make up, BUT it started raining after we finished changing and started heading out… doh… so it’s all day is pretty much have some photo taken and hid.. and then so on and so forth.. exciting. After the rain wouldn’t stop after a few hours we just decide to change back when head to the closes McD, XD and hang out a bit. That was pretty much my day.

However, it was where Arashi come up with the idea of me doing some commission for her. I was like O.o at first, as I never really did that before and in between thinking about that I should find a “real” job and the latter. I finally decided why not… why not for once not care about what people think I “should” do and just go ahead with what’s in front of me. Anyway, does that even make any sense…. We’ll just see what this will take me, ne?

Anyway on to the photos, the more exciting stuff!

Here is what I learn not to do as a cosplayer. Definitely a stupid idea to brave the Typhoon even if how much you want to cosplay, there are too much rain and wind going. Something I’ll never do again. Since I moved back I have been quite busy, but still decided to go to the con. I didn’t want to miss the chance to cosplay in Taiwan. My original plan was to cosplay Utena for my photographer friend, but it was a bit change in plan becasue of the weather. I arrived around 2 taking the metro, met up with my friend and went to change in to costume. After that it would rain for like a min and stop and keep going like that for a while, we took the chance to take photos and walk around a bit.. but the weather just gradually gets worst.. so we finally decided to change back around 5, by the time i finish change and just walked out of the con area it was POURING like hell. I got home totally drenched. ^^;; I was quite an experience, I didn’t take too much photo for the reason too. I thought I would share it with you guys anyway.

Photos of me is by Willow. I love the photo she have taken! She is so talented!
