I attended my first cosplay convention as an exhibitor last Sunday. Because I was too busy helping prepare our merchandise, and I’m cheap, I went as a punk lolita. Not that anyone noticed, because I manned our booth the entire time. But anyways, it was still fun. The customers were cool (most of them, anyway), and damn, business was really good.

Expect to see me in more conventions. In costume. Must. Lose. Weight.

Before anything, a shameless plug.

I’m gonna be joining an anime/comic/cosplay convention. I’ll be there as an exhibitor, but I imagine it would be fun to be in costume. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

First off, although I didn’t advertise it here, I’d like to thank everyone who visited us last week at the Only You Bazaar. There weren’t a lot of people who came, so we really appreciate the few folks who did drop by and bought from us. We did a lot better than expected thanks to you guys.

We’ve re-opened Pretty Oddity’s Multiply site for Philippine-based customers (who seem to prefer to make online purchases there). And we’re really excited to finally, FINALLY get an Etsy Shop. Still in the process of listing items, but we’re working on it. Keep checking back!

It’s what it looks like. I’m designing sites again. Not Multiply, though. I’m currently working on my sister’s blog and a proper online shop for Pretty Oddity. I’m also updating and constructing my portfolio, which will tentatively be called, surprise, surprise, Project Prettify. The folks who know about the blip I made at Multiply would know about Project Prettify and the ginormous impression it left. It’s a lucky name, and I’m not letting it go just yet.

Speaking of portfolios, I’m rather liking dA’s new Portfolio Feature. It’s a lot like Carbonmade, only better. They’re doing a lot of great things for their users, so I think they deserve a lot of thanks. And cake. Nine of them.

Wishing dA a wonderful 9th birthday. Back to work with me.

After two years of doing absolutely nothing for the mop I have for hair, I finally got a haircut. Mom ordered me to get one, so it’s not like I could do anything about it, but I’m happy.

Anyways, it’s definitely better than the dead muppet I was sporting until yesterday. And the fiancé likes it. And to show that he wasn’t BSing, he FINALLY got a new webcam. I knew I missed the man, but I didn’t realize exactly how much until I saw him again. I has a big happy.

And I still craft. I revised my Japanese Christmas Cake pattern. The first one looks a bit like an attacked eyeball. This one looks a bit more convincing.
