A few weeks ago I went to ColossalCon 2012 at the Kalahari water park resort! VACATION CON!!! ....except for me apparently XD. I had suuuuch a blast at Colossalcon, but most of the con I was working and makin' money for our new TotallyToasty website!! :D   Although sometimes I got a bit stressed and crazy over tired, overall, the weekend was wonderful and a much needed break from my house! Totally wish I had more time to play in the water park and to cosplay (I cosplayed Chii on Saturday and at least got some photos!), but I did some fantastic shoots with amazing cosplayers...so I can't complain too much ^^. I really hope I can go again next year!!! You can see all my ColossalCon shoots as they get uploaded here:

Now that ColossalCon has happened....unless by some freak miracle I can go to Otakon....I'm all out of summer cons to attend, save perhaps a small local con in August I'd go to for a day XD. SO!!! My next con should be Youmacon 2012!!! I say "should" solely because I'll have a job by then, which may not let me off that weekend, but I really really REALLLLLLLY better go anyways. lol I'm SUPER SUPER psyched because :iconhiyoko-chan: and :icontherestlesscosplay: are both planning on going *-* which makes my heart all squishy with happy-sappy glory!! I still plan on doing shoots, especially if Teeny wants to shoot too!,  but this is going to be a cosplay heavy con XD. I'm going to have a busy, productive cosplay summer...that's for sure!!

Here's the line up:
Asami Sato - Legend of Korra, complete with Equalist glove and hopefully Danny as Mako (probs Friday while shooting? Korra costumes would be comfy for that!)
Berserker Rikku - FFX-2  (probs Saturday with my dream group!!!!!!!!!!! *MOST PSYCHED FOR THISSSSS*)
Lebreau - FFXIII  (probs Saturday night with the enchanting :iconamezarain: as Serah and hopefully Danny as Yuj!)
PERHAPS-
Sailor Lolita Chii - Chobits
Breakfast Princess - Adventure Time (because Liz and Brandi love me<3 )


I have a bunch of other cosplay projects I'm working on since, now that I'm graduated, I actually have time! (Now money's just the issue! ><) I'm hoping to do a few on location shoots for whatever I can get done....but those I have goals for are:
Psychic'er Rikku - FFX-2   (Downtown Chicago night shoot, then props retiring the costume unless we revive a psychic group XD) 100%
Thief Rikku - FFX-2  (Full remake, dunes shoot like Bikanel, studio shoot for cgs and artwork poses)  35%
Rikku - FFX  (Revamp, dunes shoot for Bikanel, lakeside woods for Moon Flow)  60%
Ariel - The Little Mermaid, blue ending dress  (beach shoot)  30%
Chii - Chobits  (various artbook recreations and possible city shoot)  90%
Asuka Langley - Evangelion, school uniform  (local elementary school)  90%

AND THEN....I have a bunch of shoots I want to do for all the wonderful cosplayers that I know and love XD <33333 *STARES DIRECTLY AT TEENY*
^^  Although I have a busy cosplay summer ahead of me, I'm not entirely sure how long I'll be cosplaying. I keep going back and forth on the issue and because of school, I just wasn't able to do a whole lot. There are still costumes I really really want to make before I throw in the towel, but a lot of the time...I just don't feel it anymore. I think this year will help me at least move towards a solution. Even so, if I quit cosplay, I love cosplay photography too much to stop that XD. Though, it'll probably just mean I'll only go to cons I really like or with awesome locations ><.
