So AUSAM-Con's theme for 2010 is steampunk. I'm going to dress up for it, potentially doing a semi-formal dress (money and time permitting) for the ball on Friday night, and then a less formal outfit for Saturday. But I'd love to mix the steampunk with cosplay. I've posted some on the Cosplay.com forums, but I'd like to get the help of my f-listers, if anyone out there is reading this.

Hm. Maybe I'll make a cosplay journal.

Got my wig for Izumo today. <333

I ordered a Naruto chuunin vest off of eBay for $54.00 plus shipping on the 13th. Got it in today, and it fits everywhere except around my hips, meaning I can't zip it. So now I'm not sure what I'm going to do--I don't know how I can fix it without making it look obvious, especially since the side seams don't extend all the way down the sides.



So I'm kind of at a loss. I've sent a message to the seller to see if I can get a refund; if I can, I might just use that money to buy fabric and make my own.

Well, not exactly. My hair isn't done up, but this is the costume I'll be wearing on Saturday at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2007. It's my roommate's corset, my skirt, my fishnets, and my friend Robyn's combat boots.



Glasses, hair up, nothing done. Just showing off the outfit.




Hair down, no glasses... all I need is my antennae and kunai and I'm the Frigid bit--I mean, the Savage Nymph. Or, as Robyn calls me, SuperSeme!



And, my first"sexy" picture so far. I call it my "Playboy Spread" pose, but I was just having a little fun. What do you all think?

More photos to come!
