Inspiration
Out of the deep blue, GSTQ contacted me and asked to be part of this project. Being a long time DP fan, refusal was not an option. I prefer Kei, but I mean, look at us. I totally am softer and paler and just… more Yuri. But, since Kei is my favorite, it gave me something to stare at all day. Kinda better than looking at a Yuri, IMO. (I think Kei would prefer Kei as well. So, I win for being Kei in spirit?)

Construction
The suits, holsters, and boots are real leather, dyed to match by GSTQ. The suits are lined, btw, in the most fabulous neon pink bizarro fabric ever that makes me giggle to think about. I made our guns last minute out of my good ole dependable Paperclay method. These are really GSTQ’s show, I’m just here to model. I think she pitied me by giving me the guns to work on, so that I could possibly try to offer something in exchange for her top-notch craftsmanship that I still oogle from time to time when I see this costume in my closet. If you’re looking for a commissioner, I can’t point any harder in her direction.

1000 bowing Thank You’s to Lionel and LJinto, who off-the-cuffed these for us at Ohayocon 2011. We had no plans, we told nobody of these costumes, and both of them went out of their way to get some great shots of us. Thank you!
