He who lives without folly isn't so wise as he thinks.

(Francois de La Rochefoucauld) - That quote describe me so much! I discovered it in a book by my grand parents and I couldn't realize how true to me it was. Ised to write it on my notebook for several years untill college.

Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me.

(Anne Morrow Lindbergh) -I'd rather say a cat because I also like to sleep in the summer :p

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

(George Orwell (1903 - 1950), "Animal Farm") -cynism is so great!

Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century.

(Dame Edna Everage (1934 - ), In a television interview with Joan Rivers ) - Oh yeah, I really don't like people who are thinking great of theirself, most of the time without any valuable reason, and I like to make fun of me... I love to be seen as a stupid girl  (but there was no quote about it)

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

(Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC) ) - I praise patience the most.

Finally, it tooks me something about 2 months to reorder my life, put an end to everything that need to be done or quit, and I success in taking no delay in my daily life and chores. Now I can recenter around what's important for me. I help my mother going through a difficult period for her, and for cosplay-matter (which is not so important but still) I can now do what I really want to!

So my planning is not definitive, so I won't show it to you until it's fixed ^^;
Next costume will be weared @Festival Delcourt, 16th and 17th september, as part of the Faëries Beauty group. I intend to be a basic flower faërie, first, but my Jpop-loving-cosplay tells me to do exactly what I wanted for ages: The Butterfly from Kuuchan's Butterfly PV!!! Oh yes! I love it! I fell in love at first sight... Big blue and translucid wings, pearl crown, diamonds tears, absolutely amazing fake nails in pearly white with shiny strass, long silky white gown showing a silvery bra! I can't resist!!  :3

Here are the model from the Promotional Video





Isn't it  incredibly amazingly gorgeous?

I began yesterday the structure of the wings... It's somehow uneasy because Kuuchan's are CG made, and I have to make it real ^^; This is just the upper part of the wings, without black ornament. I know it's not exactly the same, in structure and sizz, but I was affraid that the similar structure were unable to maintain... I have 1 month left to finish it, I think it's quite sufficient :p

I assume that tuesday is the most boring day at work, because you can't have sleep enough to recover from the week-end (where you're supposed to had fun, seen lots of people and slept the less you could XD). Moreover, at my place, it's even dreadful...

Tuesday is the day when I get nothing particulary to do. All the analysts are attending weekly meetings, so there is not so much work to do as everything is already done on monday. What's worst is these meeting are scheduled in the morning, or just after lunch, so we receive pastries and lots of delicious little things fulled with chocolate and sugar... It's killing my diet and because it's "corporate" to have these awfully yummy cakes I have to eat them.
Luckily, tea is also available at any hour of the day and : that-is-great!!!

Instructions:
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your livejournal along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

By the way, Moving back to Paris is not so simple, I have to spend my week-ends in Nancy to bring back everything -_- But it also gave me the chance to have a nice party next to the train station. An entirely devoted-to-Jpop event! Dancefloor last till '5:00 am , and it was exciting. I do dance a lot, a sing loud with my friends. Nice and refreshing!!

Oh yeah, I didn't post antyhting in this LJ lately. Well, I've got nothing to babble abou, so what's the point  ^^; But since  Japan Addict is this week-end, I planned 2 new costumes:

-Princess Sailor Uranus : since Collectoo last year, where everyone told me Uranus was so fine with me, I wanted to do more costume of her, including the Princess-outfit.

- Kumi Koda, in [shake it up] : I tried as I could to make Jpop cosplay in 2001/2002 (Morning Musume) but the public was not very open to it, and I always needed a group to perform. I decided to make Jpop cosplays on my own, and the results is Kumi "bitchy" Koda, a singer I like a lot for her songs, first, for the glamourous outfits she has and for her funny way of being utterly sexy!! I love her :3 !!

I also have change the layout of my website, I hope you like it. It's very "wintery"... :)

I do not really speak a lot in this cosblog, despite of the time I spent on cos-play or cos-plannification :) I don't take time to read each and every entries of my friend list. I'm deeply sorry about it. I'm still thinking about you <3 , but I miss times. -_-

I'm quite proud of Monica's look. I was helped by a great friend for the armored parts, and it's awsome!!! I also finished my RO's thief, which I planned to wear @ Anim'EST, last week-end, but I did not.On saturday there was so much thing about Jpop I didn't really want to break the mood with a video-game costume. this con makes me crazy! I love the jpop groove of it, so I'm willing to do some Jmusic cosplay soon. I'm not talking about Jrock, but real cute as hell costume like Hello Project's one, or damn bitchy costumes as Koda Kumi wears. I haven't made my mind yet, but I have some ideas!!

Next things to do are to update my cosplay site, plan my next HP costume, and began my Princess Uranus costume! I'm so excited about it!!!!

So... now I have to say good-bye to all my planned cosplay of blond characters (unless if I already needed a wig). Yes, the blond you know dies on monday, say hello to the new brunette I am! :D
I have to say I really hate myself as blond, even if it's my natural color, I prefer to be brown haired. I've already dyed my hair brown when I was cosplaying Daphnee from Scoobidoo, now I can make another bunch of photo from her, and thus, maybe sew some costume of the Sarah Michelle Gellar's Scoobidoo. Here's a photo of the result, with no flash, unless you'll get scary with my pale look . I'm not quite satisfied by the bang, but I prefer to change my look step-by-step, the last time I did radical change, I was more depressed after than before (and I don't think you'd like to see me *even more* depressed that I am now ^^; )

Another words since I'm updating the entries... Lastly I'll add lots of people according to their pseudo or thinking they heard of me or speak to me in con... It would be nice if you could leave me a word mentionning who you are, where you'll get to know me  or why you've added me to your friends ^^

En français pour les non anglophones: Bon bah voilà ma nouvelle tête! Ptêt pas encore finalisée, je ne sais pas, la frange ne me plait pas des masses, mais il vaut mieux que je ne change pas tout d'un seul coup, la dernière fois que je l'ai fait, en 2002, le résultat sur le moral était pire que le moral lui-même!

A part ça, j'ai rajouter pas mal de monde à mes friends LJ, parce que j'ai vu que j'avais été ajoutée. Je sais que j'ai une petite tête alors ça serait sympa si vous pouviez me laisser un ptit mot en me précisant qui vous êtes, où vous m'avez rencontrée (si on s'est rencontré) et pourquoi vous m'avez rajoutée à vos amis ^^ meurshi !

I definitely caught a cold (over the previous dizzy feelings)! My head aches and my nose is nearly bleeding for I sneeze to much >_< yesterday I hope all this could help me to sleep, but I can't without taking pills.

So I wander in my room thinking whether I'll go to bed, even though I know I won't sleep, or making some new cosplay, since I've got lots of fabrics, I could easily begin another costume. But I promised Seith to make him a Bleach's Hanatarou (Yamada Hanatarou, 4th division's 7th seat, cute little boy :p) for this week-end if I could.
So today morning I went to buy him the fabrics, and since I think my 4hours sleep are enough by now I'll begin the costume right away :)

10 minutes... that's okay. ^^ Nearly everyone one has done it, so take it if you want.

My feelings haven't change much. I'm still in a weird mood between depressed and tired. I get out hospital yesterday, leaving a great quantity of blood to nurses and doctor -_- That will mostly cure health problems but not sadness. 

I already got some nice photos of Elizabeth and Mature, but not enough to update my cosplay site

This week-end was deadly.
And I really don't know what was the worse between huge stress, great disappointment, sleepless nights or awful costumes barely done. I'm not in a mood for fights so I'll let it be that way. The only comfort I had was from people I meet or began to know few month ago and who seemed more caring than people I thought were friends. Whatever.

I had lots of difficulties with Elizabeth. On the dummy, the costumes looked great, but when I wear it on me, it turned horribly ugly: to large but to small in the same time. My tailor's dummy could be useful if it wasn't to large : the soulder are larger than mine and I could not make it lower than 64cm waist. I'm proud (the only thing I can be proud) of my 60~62cm waist but, it's really a nightmare to have to sew something great on the dummy and then have to resize it handcraftly. So I worked over Elizabeth's cos till 4:00 a.m. the friday to saturday night... hoping for the best. So I was very surprised to win the 7th place of GAME-in-Paris cosplay contest with that costume O_o
Though, but maybe because of, everything that happened on the saturday I felt very disappointed in the evening.

Sunday began lot better. First the wheather was sunny and the temperarure was more accurate with an outdoor cosplay. I planned to wear Mature then Akari, but finally I only wore Mature. I didn't feel like changing even though I doesn't really like the cos. I didn't feel relieved from the saturday, but I took it cool and laid back. I can say I spent a very very greatful evening, eating a pizza at my favourite place and enjoying conversation with people I don't oftenly see, like  _florescence  or petite_yuki .
Sadly, later in the evening I began to feel depressed. I can't say I only wished for having been in Germany coz' there's always some good in everything but, still...

I wonder how it has been in Germany and if everyone's okay there ^^

Little update with my next costume... In fact I'm goning to wear 3 costumes in 2 days if everything goes well.

So this is Usada Akari, the last character of the DiGi Charat group for Harajuku with doremi_ (Dejiko), nelene (PuchiKo) and katfly  (Rabi-en-Rose), next week-end. My character isn't well known, but I didn't like Piyoko, all dressed in black (even if she's blond and that I'm lazy :p).

As you can see I made some slight modification on the costume:
-the fabrics is lighter than every other girl, and not really orange but peach... I really dislike orange (color and fruits)
-the corsage is made from some kind of veil... It's not really transparent, but still ^^;
-Until now I didn't add ribons on the front of the corsage, because, I like it that way.. but I still don't know what to do.
-Now is the hardest task for me : to make the big strawberry pins (I will look if I could buy them -_- ) and the plush bunny ears. Oh yeah I don't like bunny ears... I've got lots of bunny ears, from Milk [Animal Magnetsim], then from Mew Berry [TMM] but I can't resuse them for Akari. Moreover, everyone as already done their own ears with a special fabrics ^^ I hope I won't be too ugly for them ;__;

I was planning to do Akari first, but I went crazy when Gally says she will do Vice with me so, I began Mature from the King of Fighter serie yesterday evening hem, night will be more accurate ^^;  ...

Here's the thing ~22h30, just before the 2 eps of Law and Order (I watched them... no way I could miss it XD)

Then around 3 a.m. a friend woke msn messenger with a photo of him, and I couldn't stand showing him my own results

And now the final results after 3 hours more sewing (okay I did play with my cat meanwhile :p )

And nooow, I'm really tired, you see how ugly I look on my pictures?? Hu, I said I would never take photos during the night coz it shows me even more tired that I could be ^^; Well, in 5 hours I'll be leaving for Tokyo with my dad... Shopping shopping  :D So I'll get an healthy and refreshing shower and if I have the time i'll clean a little my room... It's full of fabrics from the Priestess and now Mature...

Delcourt's Festival, a.k.a Harajuku, is now 2 weeks from now. I've got 2 cosplays for it, but I'm still having hesitations about the second costume.

First task is to get over Akari, Rabi-en-Rose's sister or cousin, in [DiGi Charat]. I've got the pettycoat from Alice's costume, a peachy fabric for the skirt, white long gloves, and the same fabrics for the chemisier, but I wonder how to make it, for it has no buttons on the front side, and I really don't like zippers in the back. I think buttons can be cute, but  will it be accurate??

I would like have begun tonight but I looked for a pattern I didn't find. Damn! I also have no much time left since I'm leaving sunday for 5 days... Tomorrow I will go to the wig shop with Mars, Gally and Popo hoping to find an accurate wig for the scond or third cosplay of the event!
