Hi everyone!
Here's A little update on my recent activities and future ones!
1. G-Anime 2013 in January
It was great! I was a guest cosplayer and had the chance to host three panels: one on patterns, one on wigcraft and one on how to make a high level cosplay. I was really surprised with the number of attendees! I also had the help of
and it was really fun!
I did a little photoshoot in my Ariel cosplay with
. The photos are lovely! I'll add some on my pages, but you can visit his page to see all of them!
On Sunday I had the chance to be a judge for G-Anime Idol alongside Irulanne and Jean-Philippe Méthot. There were really good entries, this show is always worth watching!
Thanks to everyone for making my weekend great, even if it was only by saying "hi"!
2. Iron Wig
I've been chosen among 10 finalists to participate in Arda Wigs' IRON WIG competition. I'm really proud to be the only canadian, in fact, the only non-american to participate! Represent!!
The other contestants are amazing wig stylists, some of them are even my idols, and now I get to compete with them. I feel so honored!
The first round ended on February 5th, and you can see everyone's work on Arda's FB page:

I was scared of not meeting the expectations, but with the results, I feel so much more confident. I'll keep working hard!
You can watch the silly video review of our wigs here:

3. Next conventions
Geekfest in Montreal (April)
I haven't decided if I'm gonna go. I'm still thinking about it!
Nadeshicon in Quebec City (April)
I'll be there for sure since it's taking place in my hometown. If I have time, I'll maybe make a Crysta costume from the movie Ferngully. But it depends on if I find time and motivation
Anime North in Toronto (May)
Woo! I'll go to AN this year! I haven't attended this convention since 2009, when I cosplayed Terra with my friend
as Celes. I'm so excited to go again!! This was one of my favorite convention and I was always sad to miss it year after year. I'm not really planning any new costume, anyway I don't intend to enter the masquerade. I'll probably wear Ariel again and Ayla to go with some friends.
Otakuthon in Montreal (August)
I'll be there again this year (I haven't missed one since the first edition on 2006!) I have a new cosplay planned, which is Juliet from Lollipop Chainsaw. I'll be cosplaying with
and
. Not planning to enter the mascarade this time. This will be a first for me since I've always participated in Otakuthon's masquerade. Oh well, it'll give me time to do other things I guess!
----------------------------------------
I'm really trying to keep up with cosplay, but it's really hard, especially with school (and sports, and dance), which takes a lot of my free time. I'm not going to all conventions I'd want to, and not making all the costumes I'd want to... but I try to continue.
I'm really looking forward to making a "big" costume. I haven't made one of those in quite some time...
Well cya next time!
