Here's my tentative lineup for Colossal North! (It is not until November, so these plans are subject to change.),
Top left: I was unable to get pro photos of Ustrina during OffKai, so she's comin' back (and this time with the correct headphones and other adjustments). 🔥
Top right: Iono from Pokémon S/V is tentative... I am look...
My only regret is that I blended in with the scenery a little TOO well... I'd like to make a dress like this again, but in a bolder colour so I can POP!
That said, I love the dress a lot and just keep gazing at these photos like "mmm~"

I was a little busier than I realized this weekend but the extra Barbie photos will be up for tier 2 today! 😫
In the mean time, settle in for a rousing game of chess!
In honour of the Barbie movie, I am going to drop a few extras from this set! Expect them this weekend~ 🩷

Ah yes, the fruit of my crunchy labours - Regency Leafeon! 🌿
We were positively SWARMED with photographers and videographers in this garden when we met up with my go-to photo gal, Krista. Our big group shoots usually take a long time, but this one was extended quite a bit while multiple people took group and solo shoots of us. We were ...
I was going to post this earlier today, but the joke is that I always post around 2 AM my time, so here you go.
This is my vampire OC Raschelle Laforet. Auragale, Rice Poison, and I are currently working on our vampy lore. We threw them together for the monster maid cafe at Ai-Kon last weekend.
It wasn't exactly the monster mash we...
I still have some work to do in the hotel of course but here are some progress shots! Swipe to the end to see the completed giant "leaf" of the over-dress.
There are some details I wanted to add that I just don't have time for now, so I will spruce her up for Thundercon later this summer. :)
Kiss kiss, fall in love~
Okay still fussing with the wig, and I need to figure out makeup (though I won't try TOO hard to look like a dude because the uniform is definitely sewn for a feminine build lol) - but here's your first look at Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club!
I shall be wearing this at Ai-Kon as part of a group with ...

I swear I will release more Beth this summer! Been sitting on these albums for far too long!
Anyway, happy almost Canada Day from this pasty little maple critter. <3

(Some of you have seen this, but for those who haven't...)
All right so... I didn't realize that basically everyone in the showcase had prepared a skit, dance, or song performance, so there I was scrambling to make something up while I waited to go on stage. Ooooops. I had never even heard the music before this day, so it's a blessing it k...

As promised, here are some OffKai shots! Casual Ustrina turned out pretty okay~
I got to meet the vtuber Sinder, who also has a fire-themed model, as well as Utano Pandora, Grimmi, and Kabhaal. The latter three weren't present and used a machine to sign their prints, which was honestly really cool to watch! (plus they customized them for m...

Swipe through for various selfies from the downtown San Fran portion of my trip. I will make sure to upload a full album of the sightseeing I did for anyone interested in that! <3 I had a great time eating everything in Japantown, touring Alcatraz, seeing a musical at the Orpheum, and exploring the parks and piers.
I will post some OffK...

So I flew out to San Francisco on the 10th... Unfortunately, I was unable to finish magical girl Ustrina in time. 😭 The headphones for the casual version never showed up so I am using my broken pair that I used to use to stream - hopefully the lights still work!
At least my hair looked cute while I was slaving until I gave up. XD
"It's giving Workout Barbie."
Just in time for Pride Month, my absolutely ridiculously leggings and tank arrived from ArtsCow. I created images based on Ustrina's tank and thigh highs and printed them using ArtsCow's service. [Not sponsored] I just gotta fashion the leggings into socks and drop the neckline on the top.
They look HI...
(Or you know, whatever your timezone is...)
Swipe for fun edits!
I reaaaally need to alter this suit when I wear it for a real photo shoot. It's just like the Panther suit when I first got it - baggy in some awkward places. 😅
The shorts are almost done! I just need to sew down the belt loops, install hooks in the waistband, and add the green cuffs to the legs. At some point I need to get a cute yellow button for the front (I made mine zip in the back so it would be purely decorative).
The fabric has some stretch to it and is quite comfy, so I couldn't resist t...
"Which colours does your vtuber wear?" "Yes"
Ustrina's outfit is quite a, uh, statement... Since I already own her varsity-style jacket and have ordered something to use as her tank top, I am starting with her shorts. I randomly decided she needed heart-shaped pockets on her butt and have since regretted that decision LMAO but they are com...

Can you guess what the first two fabric collections will be? 👀
The final photo is the abandoned Leafeon underdress fabric that I WILL return to now that my sewing machine is back in action!
However, the previous things I have to sew for another event coming up soon - OffKai Expo, just outside of San Francisco! ☀️ This will b...
Hey... Sorry for being so quiet this month. I was settling into my new place, and just when I was starting to get organized, I lost my grandpa.
Here's a little something to tide you over until I can get a set ready! :)

Had upload issues but managed to get everything sorted here in my hotel. :)
Click here for the album! (Same as bunny - just scroll down)
And thanks to Zircon Laxor for the sponsor!
I will finish this up and post it before my Montréal trip tomorrow~ 😚 Now that I have finished moving all my stuff to my new place, I am finally relaxed and excited for my trip!
The outfit is a little on the frumpy side, so I made sure to take some photos without the collar and sleeves for some breathing room. 😅2023-04-26 19:28:49 +0000 UTC

Hey, guys! Sorry for being so quiet - I am in the process of moving and keep forgetting to post after stressing over packing and purging and hauling stuff around. 😫
Why do I own so many wiiiiggsss???!
The Diane bunny dress is in one piece! I found my spare silver trim and finished her off. I just gotta finish her neck tie, and t...
Hoppy Easter! 🐰🥚 Today I bring thee some of the long-abandoned Ram photos...
I started editing them long ago (you may remember some floating around) but got discouraged because I didn't feel very attractive in this bunnysuit. It was ill-fitting and cheap (you can see the zipper is stuck in the back and one of the seams is unraveling...
Yes, she still exists in my photo stash... 👀 Bunny Ram and maid Ram will be up this month for Bunny Month!
Sorry - it's been a busy start to the month. I had my vtuber debut (14 hour stream 🤯) and am in the process of prepping my stuff to move across town.
I am finishing up Bunny Diane too! 🐰 I forgot I cut up my bunny ear...
As many of you know, I rebranded my Twitch around my old fire magical girl OC, Ustrina. 🔥
Currently I am running a little Twitter game to unlock some of her design before her debut on April 1st!
Click here to see her tweet. All l...
Since I was cruel to myself and chose to overlay the dress with a striped fabric - the dress that already goes under another layer of clothing 😅 - this is taking twice as long as it should. Actually more than that, because I am absolutely paranoid about making sure the stripes are straight and centered on the yellow dress piece below. (See th...

I have recovered from Covid 2: Phlegmy Boogerloo and gotten lots of busy stuff out of the way, so I finally finished up the majority of the Valentine packages and will get them out this weekend. I am so, SO sorry for the delay. Curse you, Aunt Rona...
I am having fun with the Barbie stickers. Any suggestions for another photo of my cospla...
Yay! I received the final set from my 2022 cosplay shoots - a fresh look at Arabian Armour Rise. It's online for tier 2 and up now.
I actually finished a few details on this one and added the braids to her wig, so she's in better shape than 2019, too. Is there a cosplay you'd like to see me revisit?
The photographer is Murasaki Cospl...

AT LAST! The photographer has finally sent me these photos from last July. :)
As glamorous as the arcade photos were, it's nice to see this costume out in the sunlight. I also finally finished/fixed some parts and tied the wig up with the braids this time, too.
