Sorry Sorry Sorry

Really sorry I haven't posted for a week, but your wait will be rewarded. in my hands I hold a copy of the Arisia 2013 masquerade dvd. and I thought I'd share with y'all the part my friends and I worked so hard for (even though I do mess up):

And this is what we got two sets of ribbons for.

HAWKAAA!

So here's the moment of truth guys. The costume you've been waiting for. The sensation that hit the nation (by which I mean the convention, Arisia).

THE ONE AND ONLY BIRDS OF PREY!

Anyone remember that one video I posted a while back? (The Birds of Prey song from Batman BATB) We, (Antonia, Raven, and I) spent a little over a month making a choreography for that song and then practicing once a week. I've asked around to see if anyone recorded it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to show you guys until the official masquerade video comes out.

I wanted all of us to take a picture with our reference images (mostly because I worked really hard to get most of them the day of)

This photographer comes up to us and asked if he can take a picture of us pretending to beat him up.

posing for our official pictures

You can't be a strong female character without making pin-up poses, right?

Also, we won a craftmanship award ("Best translation of 2D to 3D") and best in class for presentation.

playing with wigs

so kinda failed experiment here:

My sister and I have decided to debut our Birds of Prey costumes at Arisia next month. Meaning we need to actually make out costumes. And the first thing my sister wanted to play with was trying to curl a wig for Lady Blackhawk.

He go:

we're probably going to try using hot water to straighten it a bit.

Wig Party

So, I haven't gotten any pictures from the con yet, so yeah. But I did buy an amaze-balls wig (by which I mean my sister bought it for me) from The Five Wits. I want to put together a Birds of Prey group with my sister and her friends (hopefully we will be able to go to NYCC next year), so I got the wig for Lady Blackhawk:

I've been a fan of her uniform for a while now and have been tempted to read Blackhawks because of her.
So yeah, I got the "Art Bomb Zodiac Star" style. Here it is:

a little curling and a hat away from perfect

the wig came with a cute clip in pony tail (we bought a second one for $5)

I think I might go to Comicazi's Halloweeniversary party as a girly Captain America

Or maybe as a girly pirate Captain America
