Pre Kumoricon Prep

So my first note is that I'm new to blogging, so this may not be written well.

Kumoricon is an anime convention taking place in Vancouver, Washington. It is August 31-September 2, 2013!
I have been to Kumoricon in the past, but I've never actually cosplayed before, I've just gone dressed normally with fun makeup.
This year though, I'm cosplaying, and beyond excited for it.
I will be dressing as Fluttershy (human version) from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
As well as Harley Quinn from Arkham City!

The very first thing I did to begin getting ready for this convention was bought my three day pass! I've already received it in the mail, and have it pinned up somewhere that I can't lose it before the convention.
I've also booked a hotel room, and at this point I only have one roommate... If we can't get two more, then the room will be canceled and we'll be driving their and home every day/night, but that'll work either way!
I found a dress that can be used for Fluttershy, it just needs to be dyed the proper color, and I need to sew some wings that can be worn with the dress. I have also bought a beautiful, long dark pink wig for her, and I'll probably just where some cute sandals with her outfit.
Harley Quinn is on hold for now, since I have just under four months to finish her up. I'll be bleaching my hair for her rather than buying a wig, and I'll be creating boot covers to match her thigh high boots! Her outfit is ready, and just needs to be fitted properly. I've also began painting her baseball bat and can't wait to have it ready!

More posts will come as progress comes along, and I will post about the convention itself as it happens and once its finished!
Have a great day!
