But I still stayed up way late and got no sleep because I was finishing costumes for Saturday!

But I GOT THEM FINISHED!!!!

Were you wearing your costumes when you got the autographs?

They turned out amazing. Congrats!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

No, but we showed them pictures on our phones. Cause we're dorks. :)

Thanks!

Wow, that is just too much of a concentrated awesome in a single post. (And in a single photoshoot, too.) Very neat!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

Your costume looks great but Rogue's is really amazing. Love that Mandarin collar and the applique at the bottom -- did you make that yourself or find it somewhere?

I think maybe I asked you this before, but are y'all going to be at D*C again this year?

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! His costume is so deceptively simple-- I thought it would be cake but it was *so* much work. Rogue designed the applique; I cut it out of silk (and fusible web) and then hand-stitched it to the robe (close-up here: http://instagr.am/p/IQPWg/ )

We will definitely be at D*C this year!!! Super excited about it. :) You too?

[flyingcarpet.livejournal.com]

That looks great! Yes, I'll definitely be at D*C, I'm really looking forward to it. :)

Thank you! :D

Eee~ Awesome Avatar costumes!!

Hehe, I also didn't do Masquerade for the first time ever! Weird stuff. I actually had dinner! :) At first I was a bit sad missing masquerade because it's typically my one chance to hang out with certain people as we wait backstage, but as it turned out, I don't think people were there anyway!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! Yeah it was very very weird this year. Tiny Masquerade-- only 31 entries! And the biggest entry was 8 people. I think ticket issues kept a lot of people away. :-/

[raykel.livejournal.com]

FANTASTIC!!!!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! :D

[anariazar-rel.livejournal.com]

You both look great! Awesome job :D

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

These are fabulous! I've never seen Avatar, and I love 'em anyway!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Oh my gosh, you guys should watch it. You will LOVE it!

[jedihealer.livejournal.com]

Thanks Beth!

I had no idea that you were an Avatar fan. You fit Suki so well! Personally, I like her fire outfit the best. I wish I could cosplay from Avatar, but I don't look like any of the characters. I'm sure lots of people recognized you. I'm sooo looking forward to Legend of Korra.
8 years of SDCC Masquerade is still an amazing feat!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yes we are HUGE CRAZY Avatar fans. I devoted my entire Saturday to it this year (fan panel, then sat through all the panels before the official Korra panel so we could get seats right up front). People definitely knew I was from Avatar but not everyone recognized which character. Ah well! I've loved Suki's Fire Nation outfit from the moment I saw it in Ember Island Players and I've been wanting to make it for years.

You should totally cosplay Avatar! I don't think looking like the characters is a requirement...but you'd make a great Mai or Azula!

[mandymitchell.livejournal.com]

I used to be a total skeptic about Avatar since I came from an anime background. I wasn't sure why people raved about the series so much until my husband got me into it.
I had to admit that Avatar was an amazing series. The creators did an excellent job doing their research on Asian cultures and traditions. I'm sure if we run into each other again that we would talk about Avatar for hours.
Thanks for the Mai and Azula suggestions. I'm a total fire person at heart. I'm hoping that they'll have plenty of interesting, new characters in the Legend of Korra.
