Abunai 2012 - Part 2

If you haven't seen part one, hold it right there! Go check it out here :D --> http://kasumikriss.blogspot.nl/2012/08/abunai-2012-part-1.html

Oke! Done reading the first? Now you may proceed reading this one. Hehehehehe.

It has been an awfully long time since I updated my blog again, but heyyyy, I get carried away sometimes. In this post I'm going to show you part 2 of my AbunaiCon experience.

My second cosplay was Lara Croft:



It was a very easy outfit to make. I bought a green T-shirt and tied it up. I already had a grey tanktop for underneath the green T-shirt. I also had brown hotpants, holsters and a backpack. I bought those a few years ago when I did a cosplay of her too. Look, look:


That was the second cosplay I ever did. The guns I bought in a toy's store and the shoes I had to buy also. Cosplaying takes up a lot of your time and money. This I have really experienced from the cosplays I made for abunaicon.


Here is the video I made:

As you see I was waiting in the lobby and filming things. People who came to check in on sunday were shocked to see all those cosplayers I think. The hotel was full of cosplayers and no "normal looking" human being was to be found inside. Lolol.

Here are some pictures: 



Another Lara Croft cosplayer!

Overall it was such a nice experience to be at Abunaicon for the first time. I'm definitely going next year! 

I hope you liked this short post. I will be posting soon enough again :). 

Byebye! Have a great day~

Silly - Commercial Halloween Outfits - Commercialism


Yeah so Halloween is at the end of the month and people who don't usually cosplay decide to wear something to a costume party... and 'claim' they're cosplaying

Halloween outfits are in no way near to the quality of proper cosplay and I understand regular folk want to wear affordable costumes to parties, which is fine by me but yeah, what joo pay is what joo get.

Io9 gathered all sorts of commercial costumes sold on the market...here are some interesting ones

Ok so you won't look as badass as Charlize Theron (Snow White & the Huntsmen costumes)

Uh. Ok. So I guess you're Bat Girl...?
O_O
Hey its the Latex Gimp Suit Guy from 'American Horror Story'! O_O

Movie Magic - The Puppet Horses of 'War Horse'

 
So 'War Horse' is a movie about Joey the horse in WW1. As much as we like to believe that they used real animals for every scene and shot, nope, there were lots of puppet horses.

Underwire featured this great 'Behind the Scenes' look of the how they made puppet horses for 'War Horse'
