Ottawa Comic Con 2016

28/6/2016

Second con in Ottawa in one year? What is this sorcery?!
Because I have a great affection for Kurumasha and was over-due for another convention road-trip with Ragz, I jumped at the chance to check out Ottawa Comic Con this year. I took on the “assistant director” position for the masquerade so my job was to keep Kurumasha sane throughout the weekend (or at least attempt to). Of course, that means I didn’t experience the convention like the average attendee, but it was still a good time.

It was great getting to meet more of the Ottawa-area locals as either entrants or den parents, as well as spending time with friends that I’ve been seeing at cons for years. I spent most of the weekend with Kurumasha; either in the Cosplay Lounge doing masquerade prep work, or backstage in the masq greenroom. I know there were a handful of disappointed cosplayers who weren’t able to enter due to the entry cap (it is a popular event!!), but otherwise everyone I interacted with was incredibly enthusiastic and positive and patient, which is really what I love to see at a masquerade. Even the audience was quite possibly the most enthusiastic I’ve ever seen, which is incredible.

Thankfully, the weekend wasn’t 100% work. I was able to spend enough time walking around the show floor to do some shopping (new mini POP vinyls and fun posters!), and to hang out and take Elfies with Rebecculous (and Sha), and even hop in front of Elemental’s camera backstage with Ragz and Logan (my Gravity Falls crew: let’s adopt Logan, Y/Y?), not to mention a couple of dinners with the Ottawa crew ^_^

I didn’t take many photos because I ended up being so occupied with work most of the weekend, but a small selection of my photos (plus a few more from others) is below!
​And while I’m posting photos of Wendy Corduroy, how about some bonus photos? In April I shot her at Celebration Square with Dream Land Photography, and I also had some fun back in February with a thrown-together “Weirdmageddon” Wendy (worn with my friends’ assorted other Gravity Falls costumes) to watch the series finale. My Gravity Falls gallery has been updated with the new photos!

Con Crunch is over!

22/6/2016

Spring convention season is finally over! I’ve had time to unpack, although I still have lots of tidying up and laundry to do! As things currently stand, I’m taking a break until Fan Expo Canada - skipping Con Bravo and Otakuthon this year because I really need a long break. To be honest, if it wasn’t for Asgard Barbie coming up to Toronto and wanting to cosplay with me, FanEx might have been on that list too XD

So, without all those conventions, what is Mai Sheri doing over the summer?
...aside from working, because she’s an Adult™, that is.

1. Website updates!
  • Con report from Ottawa Comic Con
  • ​Con Report from Anime North
  • Con Report from Yeti Con
  • Tizzie (Rat Queens) photos
  • Chihiro (Spirited Away) photos
  • Hawkeye photos
  • Other miscellaneous craft and makeup projects
  • Wooper Gijinka post and photos
  • AND MORE!

2. Selling some old costumes! I need the space more than I need things that don’t fit anymore. I’m looking to get rid of most of my stash more than a few years old, including:
  • Meryl
  • Dorothy
  • Dr Dakota
  • Alice
  • And many many more to be announced...

3. Cosplay-making!
  • Costumes for Mr Stark
  • Costumes for Little Stark
  • Costumes for myself for Fan Expo, Halloween, and next year’s Costume Con (including finishing my long-term ongoing costumes)

4. Cosplay-wearing!
  • Private photo shoots???
  • Video projects???
  • ?????

5. Play all the games!
  • Looking forward to returning to Hyrule with my choice of Twilight Princess HD, Hyrule Warriors, Skyward Sword, and/or Minish Cap
  • 3DS games are waiting for me too, like Luigi’s Mansion, Super Mario 3D Land, Triforce Heroes, and Chibi Robo
  • Obduction should be coming out in July! Very excited for this ^_^

6. Read all the books! (my bookshelf is so full of unread pages…)
  • Welcome to Night Vale (A Novel)
  • The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy
  • Sex Criminals
  • Rat Queens
  • East of West
  • Hawkeye
  • Secret Avengers
  • Fables
  • Several cosplay photo-books *_*
  • Probably several more new books that I missed noticing were published

I’m also happy to return to the monthly tutorial posts - please let me know if there’s a project you want to know more about!!!
See you soon with more of that website content as promised <3

Halloween 2015

16/6/2016

After lots of delays due to the spring con season, I'm back to catching up!
Considering how much cosplay was going on last October, I figured that the Halloween season deserved one of these backlog blog posts!

First up: Kitchener! Dan the Video Ninja joined Mr Stark and I for a couple of house parties thrown by our friends there! Stark debuted his “business Cooler” costume (and also his Gizmo kigu), Dan wore his Chain Chomp, and I chilled out in my sloth. Terrible photos were taken until I dropped and broke my camera :(
Next: Halloween night was spent at the Snailoween party being Team Hawkeye with Kurumasha! Also featuring: DarthMarySue’s Pirate, Jenny Jupiter’s Joker, and Dan’s Pterodactyl Jones. No prizes for us this time around, but we’re going to try harder next year ~_^

Not done yet! Mr Stark and I were supposed to go to another party the weekend after Halloween, but I was too worn out. We decided to just hang out and play Rock Band with Dan, but since Stark had brought his Cooler stuff, he went in costume so I joined in as an improvised female of Frieza’s race.
There was actually one more thing I want to post about - I made a new costume! I didn’t wear it anywhere and don’t have photos ready, but I made a Space Warrior outfit from the Costume Quest games. The timing didn’t work out last year, but I hope that this year I will be able to get together with my friends and their Costume Quest cosplays for an awesome (and terrible) group.
