At Katsucon 2013 we had a huge Avatar group and it was TOO MUCH FUN. <3 We were going to do Sokka and Suki in their normal outfits but with how much we laughed at the tent scene + the fact that a bunch of crap was going on that season and we ran out of time to work on stuff (we have like... Kyoshi Warrior Suki a quarter done fkasdjfklasjfd) we thought going with these two versions would be a blast and IT WAS. xD

COSTUMERS: @thewhalebaby as Katara, @orosnake (Neoqueenhoneybee & Ceratopian) as June & Song, @bethiichancosplay as Toph and ChocoboNuggets as Zuko!

PHOTOGRAPHERS: Many thanks to Roger for the 4th and 5th photos and TLY Photography for the first two!

This post has been sitting in our drafts since 2015?????? I DON’T KNOW WHY. 

IT’S JUST US GOOFING OFF IN HOTLINE MIAMI COSTUMES???

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bonus: This is the song we were listening to/dancing to in the gifs.

At Katsucon 2013 we were supposed to have both Dio AND Quark done but Dio (and his damn coat) were proving to be a real bitch (kind of like Dio lolololol sorry I had to) so only Quark made it as a new costume. Nate ended up wearing his Junpei which was actually pretty awesome for group photos due to... game... story... stuff I won't get into, and we got to reunite with some of our favorite lovelies from the original 999 costume group a couple years before!

COSTUMERS: Zero III - hitobooty, Luna - Voxane, Tenmyouji - HayabusaKnight, Phi - Leesers, Sigma - Mike, Clover - Ukraine Kraine

PHOTOGRAPHERS: Many thanks go Smile Jade Photography (middle photo) & Swoz Photography (group and other solo shots) for these photos!

Many thanks to Bria & Nic for the photos (and Bria for the braids)!

This Tenel Ka outfit was loosely based off of DiHA-Artwork's Art Nouveau Queen Mother piece and I want to fix it someday to fit the art better (like how do I even re: actual hair?) -- who knows if I can fit into the dress anymore though, oyyy. I also need to fit the cape and shoulder armor together better (thanks to Abby for helping me clip it on here!)... I need to experiment with everything but originally this was worn in 2013 and I haven’t done anything costume-related in years BUT ONE DAY I WILL FFFFFFFFF.

A bit from the original post about this outfit that will always fit: This little area in the atrium of the Gaylord National worked perfectly for photos and we all joked about LOL SECRET HAPAN GARDENS and all that jazz because at the end of the day we are a bunch of Star Wars geeks and always will be. ;)

We debuted these at Katsucon 2013 cause we’re dorks and we couldn’t resist. We also had Glitterati at that con but we thought Icon Crew would look so good with the group we had (ALSO SO OUT OF PLACE LOL). We couldn’t wear them for too too long through because 1.) they were kind of hard to see out and 2.) they were FRICKIN’ HOT.

But they were super fun all the same and we were so glad we pulled them together. We miss Dance Central. <3

HAPPY 2021! Here's to this year being hopefully a gazillion times better than 2020. :B We've wanted to do Sonia Nevermind and Gundham Tanaka costumes for an eternity and we've had the wigs for almost that long as well. Since we just finished Super Danganronpa 2 on stream we thought we'd put together a special celebratory NYE Sondam with hamster Four Dark Devas of Destruction kigurumis!

One day we will get to their actual costumes (and maybe a couple other versions as well, hehehe)~

At MAGFest 2013 we debuted our VLR costumes which we had finished last minute (naturally, of course -- this is us, after all) before the con! For real, we were painting the stuff on Sigma’s jumpsuit like the night before we left. :B

Mega thanks to Jeremy for getting the first, third and last two shots of these costumes! Also, thanks to him for putting up with us when we found the weird sprinkler timers and were like “OMG IT’S LIKE... IS THIS A BOMB WE HAVE TO GET A PHOTO LOLOLULUOULOLOL.” we’re nerds i apologize. D:

(Sorry for the repeat photo but we couldn't resist including the black & white version of the first shot!)

June 4th was the birthday of our favorite Dance Central crew -- The Glitterati!

We previously put together original outfits for their birthdays in 2013, 2014, and 2015 and we wanted to do it again in celebration of the newest installment of the Dance Central series!

Random facts: These glasses (and some sort of drinks) have made appearances in every set of birthday photos we’ve done for them -- as well as a DC3 costume preview shot we did back in 2012!

Also, the silver shoes Heather is wearing for Jaryn are the shoes she wore to our BioShock wedding, hehe.

Yusuke explains his favorite ~art movements~ to Futaba in a way he thinks she’d understand them. It works?

(We can’t wait to wear these costumes again. <3)

Welcome to another year of “we didn’t make/debut a lot of costumes this year :(” -- but one we did finish and wear to MAGLabs (there will be a post on the costumes w/ real photos soon! :D) was the dynamic bickering duo of Futaba Sakura and Yusuke Kitagawa of Persona 5. 

We loved these two from the moment we saw them and it got even better when the snark began. So of course, we had to go ahead with these costumes. It’s great though, Heather got a new winter coat out of it. :D

We hope your holidays and new year are amazing and we will see you in 2018!

LET’S PLAY A GAME CALLED WHICH ONE OF THESE PHOTOS DOESN’T BELONG

Hint: it’s the third one in the row of three photos SORRY I GAVE IT AWAY.

I originally made and wore this jumpsuit for Dragon*Con 2007. It was the first jumpsuit I ever made, I jacked the zipper up but I was still proud as hell of the thing and pulled it back out for Dragon*Con 2012. As you can see in the single 2007 photo here, I had one of my old lightsabers I made, a different headpiece (I feel like the 2012 one is much more fitting) and didn’t have the capelet thing I made for D*C 2012, which was inspired by the Hapes Consortium symbol that’s also on the patch on the chest of the jumpsuit.

I had a ton of feels in this outfit because it’s a Queen Momma one and Jesse and I were pretty much sobbing the whole SWEU meetup about how Teneniel never got to see her daughter kick ass on the throne, etc. etc.

Also, Caedus feels. Stupid Caedus. >:B

There are so many pictures of this set of outfits and we’re sorry but our three main Glitterati outfits are three of our favorite things we’ve ever made. ;-; 

We learned so many techniques between the Street Style outfits, these and the Haute Blooded ones (which will have a post in the near future -- those were the craziest to make!) and we always felt like we could kick lots of ass when dressed as Kerith and Jaryn. They’re so snarky and confident and gorgeous and just sdkafjkdjsfkdjsffkj WE MISS DANCE CENTRAL

We first wore these to Dragon*Con 2012 and that was our last (and Heather’s 10th year attending) D*C so it was nice we went out on costumes we really loved (these and the Young Jedi Knights Jacen Solo & Tenel Ka <333)~

Also, we love things that light up and even though the backs of their crew vests don’t light up in the game, we thought it was a flashy thing that was very them so we added EL panels in the vests to make the GG logo glow. XD
