immediately starts planning a maid Nitori cosplay

This past weekend, I attended Animinneapolis 2016. I met so many great people and had plenty of laughs.  

On Friday, I suited up in my Momiji Sohma cosplay for the first time and had a lot of fun with it! It was cool to hear other Fruits Basket fans call me out or have people ask me if I was cosplaying Momiji. That night, we put on ‘Ask The Sohma Squad’, equipped with a Hatsuharu, Kyo, Tohru, Akito, and Ayame. I was so glad that people enjoyed the onigiri stickers I handed out (they were a labor of love, I can assure you). Thank you to our panelists and to our audience of passionate Fruits Basket fans! Later on in the night, two of my friends and I ventured out toward the Steam Powered Giraffe concert. Let me tell you, this concert was so mello. It was such a nice experience to just go to a concert to enjoy the music and theatrics without worrying about standing on my tiptoes or having to strain to hear the band. The group had a great turnout and it made for a fantastic end to our day. 

Saturday was Honey day and I enjoyed walking around with friends, not needing to be anywhere. It still makes me happy when people who know the character stop to say hi. Two of my friends and I attended the butler cafe and had loads of fun! Great job to all the maids and butlers, by the way, and thanks for putting up with us. :) The rest of the night consisted of hanging out with friends before attending a Greg Ayres panel. I was able to give him the sticker before he had to run off, so I was super excited. 

I left the hotel on Sunday. It was really bittersweet because, while I craved the comfort of my own bed, I really do love the energy that you get from conventions. They’re truly unique and fun experiences and I hope to make it to more in the future. 

P.S. I splurged on a bigger purchase (something I usually don’t do). 

Had a great time at Animinneapolis 2k16! Thank you to all of the panelists who helped us put on the Fruits Basket panel. It was great to meet you guys!

Hey guys!

I just got back from a con (will post more about that later) and saw so many amazing cosplays!

It got me thinking about my own cosplays and how I could improve them when I realized...I only ever cosplay "cutesy" characters (specifically bunny-related characters...what's up with that?)!

Wanting to branch out from my typical go-to "type", I'm encouraging advice about what to cosplay next (or suggest some anime so I can get an idea for my next project). Please let me know what you guys think!
