THEM EYEGLASSES

Hello again our lovely readers! (updating so soon!)

Today I'm actually going to write about something cosplay related and even make a tutorial!

Today's tutorial is focused on Tsuruko's eyeglasses that were nearly impossible to find!

Because I was lazy and a little scrooge I just bought a pair of eyeglasses that only cost me 3,90 euros! Genious!

I also bought the fabric and shoes for this costume (fabric 14,5€ from Eurokangas, shoes 3€ from flea market) Veeeery cheap again! (cheap is always good)

SO back to the eyeglasses!

The obligatory what you will need list:

- A pair of eyeglasses

- Buffer file

- Nail file (or just replace them both with sandpaper, I was too lazy to try and find some)

- Super glue (or nail glue, if you happen to own a bottle, I used it!)

- Nail polish

- PATIENCE

1. Remove the lenses from the glasses, they should get off quite easily. Unless you really need reading glasses I suggest that you buy the ones with the intensity of 1+ (of course in my case, it makes me even more blind but who cares)

2. Cut off the extra part

3. File the cutting marks off and use buffer to file the glasses all over - otherwise the paint may fall off

4. If your glasses are black, use a nailpolish that is light and covers well - the color doesn't really matter, this is only a bottom layer

5. Once the bottom layer is dry (REALLY DRY) take the red nailpolish and paint the glasses with at least two layers of polish

6. Let dry....if possible overnight!

7. Use the glue to attach the lenses back on their places by pressing them firmly.

8. Let the glue dry properly before trying - otherwise your eyes will hurt (not that I know something about it..*ahem*)

(step 9. Sew Momo's costume)

DONE

derp, derpier, Momo

I'm sorry about the picture quality but I had to use my phones camera so live with eet.

Yay.

Now insert a random fact:

On average, there are 178 sesame seeds on each McDonalds BigMac bun.

SERIOUSLY WHO DID THE MATH.

Yeah. Now off to study some International business. Yeah. I'm a business man. Yeeah-

wait.

I'm going to post another blog about the costume once I get it done!!!!!

With love,

Momo

P.S WHY ON EARTH IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A CHEAP TIE THAT IS PLAIN RED!?

COSPLAY PROGRESS

Hello our marvellous readers

You know what? I actually did something for my costume!

It is now ready(....ish) YAY

wait.

Cancel the yay.

It is not ready at all! I haven't even bought the fabric or shoes or eyeglasses.

So far I've only styled the wig.

Well then there's always Poke. Poke who's got it almost done.

Yes. I stole this from her IG profile. Looks ready?

It is actually quite ready.

It means that I need to work work and work to finish this costume!

I'm gonna go and buy the fabric today once I finish my chili-chocolate coffee with too much chili on it.

Someone motivate me with this costume!!!

I promise to make a tutorial of the eyeglasses since they require some work.

Now, time to say goodbye after finishing this totally nonsense bloense blog entry:Dd

I've got my entrance examinations tomorrow! ARGHUFIHIOVDHK

Bye.

P.s We might be hosting a show at Desucon! BE THERE AND SEE US! (I'll post more info as we get things cleared)

COSPLAY PLANS IT IS

First off, I'm sorry for updating again (not that this was too often but..) I promise that Poke will update this blog as soon as she has time. I just happen to have all the time in the world nowadays since I don't go to school:D She is still alive, someone just needs to keep up with our blog since I don't want to let it die once again:D

So please bear with my bad jokes and for a while! Poke will be back as soon as possible!

Ever since we left Desucon Frostbite we've been kind of having a little break from cosplay. Now, as Tampere kuplii is coming closer and closer we are actually starting to do something in time? (like a week before? blehh - too early)

Our Tampere kuplii costumes are actually quite easy and the wigs can already be found from our wig rack yet they really need some styling .. If you have forgotten they are these two lovely ladies from Ano Hana:

Poke's outfit is different though but as you see from the image - very simple!!

The redhead is Anaru (Poke) and the black headed one is Tsuruko (me!)

Since these two are so freakin' simple and easy we also took another costume to our list:

These three hotties are Souji, Hijikata and Saitou from Hakuoki! I'm going to cosplay Hijikata (the one in the middle) and Poke is going to get Saikou (the blondeish one yet the picture lies and he really has quite darker hair?)

They are the ongoing projects right now:D Of course we have some freaky plans inside our heads that aren't to be revealed quite yet:DDD

If you saw them you'd go like:

Haha.

I've also been planning (Poke doesn't know about this..) of making a few CMV's/Cosplay skits! I have tons of ideas circling inside my head! I just need some actors!We live in Tampere, Finland so we'd shoot somewhere around I guess? I don't know about the series yet but almost any serie would fit in my plans! If you're interested feel free to comment and let's go further with my plans?

I guess I'm also going inactive quite soon since I have my entrance examinations and I should actually study:DD (like I did?)

But enjoy while it lasts!

Yeah, now I'm probably going to head to the grocery store and buy some goodies for easter!

Cheers,

Momo
