@ lychee-twist - Those look fabulous, cloudy or not! If I cosplayed Sailor Moon, I'd totally buy one. And there will always be Sailor Moonies out there! I'll always have a special place in my heart for this girliest of animes, since it's that one that jumpstarted my obsession with anime, manga, and Japan in general. 13 years and still going strong!
@ CloudStrife32 - A Tomoe, eh? Maybe I could bring my Mistress 9 next year too... if you promise that I can pretend to choke you with my hair.
@ the-wind-the-sea - I totally want to see your Kakyuu! The pictures you posted look amazing.
Speaking of Mistress 9, I finished the top! Now all that's left is the skirt, and I'll be done. Unfortunately, this will mean switching the thread in my serger from black to white and I can't even imagine it without wanting to curl up in a ball and cry.
The mission to redo Saturn's glove rolls has hit some snags - turns out 1/2" tubing is too inflexible to make a complete circle, so I picked up some 3/8" tubing which works much better. Strange how Lowe's has become my second go-to spot for cosplay shopping. Sewing the actual fabric to cover the tubes has already had two spectacular failures (always remember what side your seams are going to be on, kiddos!). I plan to work on it more tonight. Thank God I have extra fabric and tubing.
I decided to start re-watching the Sailor Moon anime (yay for free online streaming!) - I was just going to start with the S Season, for Saturn & Mistress 9's storyline, but have been drawn in by the hilarious hokey crappiness of the first season. Oh, monster-of-the-week, how I've missed thee.
