Friday night I got a bunch of friends together and we had our “We’re Not Going To Otakon But We’re Fun Anyway” dance party. It was a small, pretty casual hangout–just a handful of people drinking bubble tea and dancing to anime theme songs and DDR remixes–but it was pretty awesome to see the costumes everyone came up with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe previous weekend, I hosted a craft night at my apartment. I got started on my Balzac<\/a>-lyric-emblazoned face mask and my friend effortlessly created an Espeon (it’s a Pokemon, for all you non-nerds)<\/a> hoodie in just a few hours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are a few pics of my costume. My intention was to look like a punk cat, but I think I look a lot more like a mouse…who plays in an 80s hair band. What do you think?<\/p>\n

I have to apologize for the lack of clear, well-composed photos. It was one of those times where everyone was too busy running around and having fun to actually stop and organize a legit<\/em> photo shoot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the finalized version of my friend’s Espeon hoodie, and my roommate is dressed as Totoro (one of her markings is upside-down, she knows, but she created the costume an hour before the party, so it’s totally excusable).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And you may recognize the spaceman as my Wizard World Comic Con companion from a previous post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the party we all headed to a nearby park, and it seemed like we were being scoped out by members of our neighborhood watch or something. At least we had an audience for our little costume parade…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
