We met up yesterday for a bit of shopping and a bit of planning. Which sounds awfully lot more prodctive than it actually was.
We did manage to get some gray fabric in the perfect shade for Itch's and Bitch's uniforms and Maiju couldn't stop laughing at how masculine and fashionable my dear Bitch is. I tried very hard to figure out why Itch would be equally lame but you just can't top three shades of pink/purple and a furry epaulette. And a Farrah Fawcett haircut.
Afterwards we were supposed to get some food and plan our performance but we mostly just got food, watched a bit of Last Exile Fam, two episodes of BBC's Sherlock (which just happens to be the best goddamn TV-series ever made and if you've not seen it, you should) and coughed and sneezed a lot. We seem to have a magical talent of being sick at the same time. Or maybe we're just sick all the time, respectively.
In the end we did spend a total of 15 minutes or so actually planning our performance. And I'll probably have more ideas for it after tonight, since I'm starting iaido today and if there's even a slight possibility of doing a bit of fantastically pretty iaido-moves on stage, I'll do it. We also need magical cherry petals. Maiju has no say in this.
So yes, awfully interesting and terribly productive! I have a feeling I'm spending tonight and tomorrow re-doing some of Dios's props and on Friday we'll drive to Lahti (I promise to film all of the "Maiju missed yet another exit and is cursing like a sailor" -moments and share them with the internet) for Desucon Frostbite.
Photos and a con report (probably) next week! Have a nice life until then.

We're alive! Really!
Oh hi, do you guys still remember us?
We've no proper excuses for not updating other than being lazy (except I wrote a book and did my thesis while working a full time job and Maiju has been doing something that has to do with her studies).
To be quite honest, we've made very little progress with anything WCS-related. We do have one set of costumes finished (Maiju will be uploading photos of her movie!Utena sometime later this week) but that's about it. We're going shopping for fabrics next week so yay. Progress!
The fabrics we're shopping for will be for Itch and Bitch, the very appropriately and respectfully nicknamed characters from the new season of Last Exile.
Luscinia aka. Itch, Maiju's character
Solush aka. Bitch, Elina's very masculine and not-at-all-colour-blind character
It's less than two weeks until Desucon Frostbite, a presumably awesome con in Lahti (the very gray and boring town I grew up in!). We're going as Utena and Dios, so photos are to be expected!
So yeah. Be nice and wear a seatbelt while driving!

Gaala tiems!
Cosplay Gaala is this coming Sunday and we are, of course, attending. Maiju as a masquerade judge and Elina as an investigative reporter (whatever that means).
We'll be gliding around as Utena (Maiju) and Dios (Elina) from the film Adolescence of Utena. We'll hopefully have time for a brief photoshoot at some point, so that we can finally have presentable pics of our team. Fingers crossed and all that.
And, as you probably guessed, we'll (most likely) be taking these costumes with us to Japan.
Design for Utena
Design for Dios
If you are in Finland (and you probably are), coming to Gaala (you totally should) and you see two incredibly attractive people who look something like, come say hi!
