Utena-photoshoot pt. 1

Trying to be productive, so have another update! I've been meaning to write this entry for about two months and I finally managed to kick myself up to do this.
..or I might just confess I'm just sick and there's little I can do in this condition, so I'll just post some photos.

Utena and Dios (Adolescence of Utena) are one set of our WCS-costumes (not quite sure if we'll go with press or parade, but we'll see), and we hope to have a photoshoot at Desucon Frostbite in a few weeks so that we finally manage to get some photos of both of us. It's a damn lot harder than you'd think!

These were taken at the beginning of November and there was a lot of teeth rattling and laying frozen on the ground involved due to lovely weather conditions of Finland (more moments when I truly did not love this hobby). Photos were taken by YumiKoyuki.













So there! More photos coming in a few weeks with both of us in them. I hope. :D

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.

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!
