Anime Conji 2013


Me as Orihime from Bleach (Maid Version)

Hello everyone! Well once again it has been too long since my last post. I do have a good excuse this time I was really busy sewing my heart out for Anime Conji 2013!


I really had a blast at this convention. It was my first with an exhibitor booth and doing panels! I was also featured in the Fashion Show as a designer. 
Nick and Major got to join me for the whirlwind weekend at the lovely Town and Country Resort and Convention Center in San Diego. The hotel was great the only issue was the elevators kept breaking down and we were on the 6th floor O.o

I really wish I had gotten better photos of me in my cosplay and outfits- especially since it was my first time wearing contacts and all. I hope to remedy that soon by shooting with a professional photographer ^.^

Here I am with Vampy and 2 beautiful members of Chocolate Covered Cosplay at the Cosplay Industries round table. I was here representing myself (Chibi Bubble Ninja) and Kosplay Underground. It was such an honor to be part of this panel as all of these great women have way more experience then me in the Cosplay community. Especially when Asako Yamamoto (Chief Editor of COSMODE magazine in Japan) joined the panel.  The best part was that everyone was so inviting and down to earth. Vampy said something along the lines of we are all just a bunch of nerds out to have fun and dress up- and I have to agree.

I did another panel "Kosplay Underground Tells All" (on behalf of Kosplay Underground). I have to thank the entire audience that was at this panel. I had technical difficulties for about 20 minutes into my panel but you were all so wonderful in sticking around and letting me entertain you while we waited.

Here are some great shots from the Fashion Show and a Video (below)! Some of the outfits are still available on my website (and all available for custom order)!
Also I have to give a thank all my wonderful models for showing up and doing such a great job!

Here is the link to the Fashion show video: (For some reason I cannot get the video to show up here)
My part of the show starts 11:20 into the video- if you don't want to watch all of it.



So in short I had a blast and met a lot of great people. Now to plan for Anime Expo!
