Vote for Julia! (please)

Hey guys, I'm still taking a small break from my blog, but Sunday was a small costume competition at my local Anime merch store, Anime Zakka. I somehow managed to scrounge together a Sailor Jupiter costume the day of the event, after helping my friend make a costume for herself. I was super lazy and stressed, so I never got personal pictures of our costumes, but the photographer they had did an amazing job.
So First off, here's how the contest works: Anime Zakka posted our pictures on their facebook page and whichever costume gets the most "likes" before Monday (11/4) will win the prize of a gift card for their store. easy peasy, right? I'd really appreciate if my readers could help me or my friend win (you can vote for as many entries as you like, so also look at the other contestants).

 As I mentioned, I made this costume the day of, with some help from my mom (she had to sew me in because there wasn't enough time for a zipper). I still need to put the sleeves on, then closures, then I wan wear it again. You can vote for me here.

Winnie is definitely on my list of cutest Kiki cosplayers,and by far the cutest I've seen in real life. She even borrowed a little Jiji and a broom like the one used to save Tombo. You can vote for Winnie here.

Sailor Moon's Miracle Romance Cosmetics

In celebration of Sailor Moon's 20th anniversary, Bandai is releasing various Sailor Moon inspired cosmetics.
First to be released was a reproduction of Sailor Moon's transformation compact. It appears to come on a golden chain so it can be worn as a necklace.

Even the pressed powder inside is reproducing the inner design shown in the anime.

 

 The second part which hasn't gotten quite as much media attention is a nail polish set recreating the colors shown in the transformation sequences. I understand that it's not as recognizable in practice, but personally I would find it more useful. 

The individual bottles are super cute, so I'd probably end up trying to recreate the colors and refill them if they ran out.

If you can read Japanese, you can find more information here, and the bottom of the page has links to other anime inspired cosmetic lines.

Time to embarass myself

And also my sister I suppose.
I've been kinda sad because there's still no news about the Arisia Masquerade DVD yet and I really wanna see and share the Birds of Prey skit. But I was looking around my house today since my spring break just started and found the vhs tape of one of my very first times on stage.
Since this is my 100th blog post, I thought I would share my finding with you so you can all laugh at me (and my sister). Keep in mind that this is from 2001 and I was only in second grade.
Here you guys go:
