So I did have an entry about a Labour Day photoshoot at Webster's Falls that I went to, and new things going on in my job and business and also some more fandom ranting and recommendations..
BUT I really need to use LJ at this moment to plan out what I have to sew and make for NYCC and Halloween this year, so I will make my other post later.. hopefully, when I finish most of this stuff XD;;
Max from Beyblade V Force
THURSDAY 11th - SUNDAY 14th NYCC
I didn't plan to wear T'Pol (Star Trek Enterprise) at NYCC, even though it's likely more appropriate for a comic/sci-fi con, because it has taken a month for my eyebrows to grow back in since FanEXPO .. XD;;; I also need to do repairs and fix-ups which scare me, since it will mean seam-ripping and handsewing more of that stupid stretch velvet and piping -_-;;
I'd like to re-wear T'Pol in a place where there is a good photo-location too. So many people took my photo at FanExpo but it's been impossible to find ANY of them online -_-. So.. yes
I'm eager to finally finish and wear Max from Beyblade V Force though. I had planned to make & wear it at Anime North 2012 this year, but my Mariam (Saint Shields team, Maggie
animetomboy) couldn't make it ;_;! It seems my plans for wearing this cosplay always screw up somehow OTL. sppandaaa said she would make Ray for NYCC though, so it'd be great to get photos together *o*I am bringing Android Saga Gohan and North Italy (male) too. Unfortunately my plane ride is early on Sunday, so I won't be able to cosplay that day. I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing DBZ on Thursday, and Friday/Saturday are either Beyblade or Hetalia.

BAWHAHA XD. Ok so honestly, I must do this. I recently finished watching ALL of Star Trek: TOS on blu-ray, including the 6 movies. SO many blu-rays, so many hours of marathon. I definitely love this series with all my heart; especially with the enhanced effects and excellent remastered quality. For a show made in the 60s, the story lines and jokes are universal and still very easy to relate to. (THIS tumblr post has all of it for download)
I chose McCoy to cosplay because I have some nice blue contacts on the way, and haha I really don't want to wear command gold XD;.
Excited for halloween. I just need to somehow find some workable boots damnit.. Also on my quest to Queen Street for sparkle-embedded black wool, I could not find any, but I got some nice quality wool from Wool House, and I'll attempt at some classy spray glitter to get the right look. Roddenberry.com was absurdly helpful for all the details.
Hopefully I can get this done, or have some costume ready to join in
kintaei's cosplay shoot close to Halloween! I really need to wear and get more photos of my cosplays, cause I spend so much time and money on them, and then wear them for a day, get like 1 or 2 pics I'm sort of happy with, and then it gets shoved away. OTLAnyway those are the cosplay plans for October! Hopefully will have some Labour Day Slayers cosplay photos from Webster's Falls soon!!
Here is a photo Andrew took for now:

Also, it looks like I'll be at Katsucon 2013! Rooming with the same great people as we did earlier this year ^^
