Some long overdue Asuka pictures from earlier this year, yay. I just got back from a 3 week trip to Europe - hello to all my new friends from Italy, Spain, and Germany! Too bad I don't keep a blog to tell everyone about it. I AM SO MYSTERIOUS. ...no, just lazy. Look for a new plugsuit tutorial in the next few days!

Summer school like woah! And lots of traveling! I got back from Tokyo a few weeks ago and finally have a minute to catch my breath. I was a guest on a Japanese cosplay show called CosCosPurePure along with Ginny from ginnymcqueen.com. Japan was everything I've ever imagined and more. But now for something non sequitur: German catboys. |

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. I made a dress out of meat to remind me of my own mortality.... wait, no. Because I had an Aqua Teen Hunger Force-themed party and I dressed up as Meatwad. My parents always said I was "special". |
