I realized again that some people are becoming more and more selfish.
Rumors (according to the BCT forum) were spreading again.
Luùna was being unfairly attacked.
It harsh to say, but “welcome in my club”.
Jealousy being more in the upper hand these days.

Many people are talking also behind my back, still claiming that my mom made all those costumes.
And in fact the only thing that she did was making the “cloak” of Merlin. :p
The shoes, the beard and the hat were made by me.

It is true that the ASSISTED me while making the beast.
She was my real “fitting doll” to test the face.
My dad was the 2nd “fitting doll” for the “suit” and I was the one for the paws.
Simply because Tom was not often available.
But giving suggestions how-to or fitting it is NOT making it herself!

My mom was a little disappointed because I promised her to make her “Fairy Godmother” outfit of Cinderella for FACTS.
It was foreseen for FACTS but due to the Beast and Madam Red, it was not finished.
So if supposedly my mom did make the costumes, would you not think that everything would be finished on time?

In fact due to the beast, I lost quite some precious time!
I only had one week (after my working hours) to complete Madam Red.
Friday was luckily a day off but I still did not make it!
I was forced to restart 3 times on the skirt and changed the hat several times which cause my some time issues.
Even on Saturday @ FACTS, I was still finishing my hat!
I did not have the time to greatly seam the inside, nor to properly finish my jacket/hat!
The last days before facts, I did not sleep long or often… all this… mainly not to disappoint certain people.
While eventually when it was time to perform on stage, all those people were not there to support me!

Eventually I found out that some were supporting the winner and when she won, they were whining towards me.
Excuse me but I am NOT responsible for the jury’s decision!
In fact it is true that the winner had a beautiful costume
(do not turn my words around, I did not say BEST). :p
Stop having 2 faces and pretend that you like me and say “I am so sorry for you”.
Because I know in the inside, you were actually glad that I was for once NOT in the top 3. (referring to certain people, not everyone)
In the end everyone was free to enter the competition. Why did YOU not do it then?

On the other hand seeing those evil rumors and fuss I am actually glad that I did not win the Eurocosplay entrance.
Because what would people say about me if I won?
Plus it is a date that I do not need to take into account, nor an extra costume and act that I have to foresee.

Therefore it is again one of the reasons why I go to other countries.
People do not know me there and at least they give me a fair start.

From nature I am always sincerely friendly and I always mean well with people.
Even if you do not like me.
If you hate it, well deal with it then and ask yourself WHY you hate it.
Because I did not do anything wrong.
If I do not like you, then you will know it, trust me.
But if you do hurt me I will never forget and I will keep it in mind…

The last weeks on the BCT forum has been hectic.
Many fuss about little things…
I wonder what the real reason is behind all this…

Special thanks to ShamanRenji for adding me to her list: http://news.deviantart.com/article/96486/

Guess what? I am again in the Cosmode Magazine! I am soo proud! *^_^*

Yosh!
After FACTS it will be time for the Sailor Moon group.
I am looking forward to work together with talented cosplayers!

Our act is going to soo fun and unique!
I am lucky to be the “shy” one, I do not need to do plenty things.

I would like to take this opportunity to express the following:

Thank you so much for supporting me during these years! *^_^*

This is dedicated to my personal friends (T, J, A, …), my cosplay friends, DA-friends, my family and my future husband to be.
Most of all the compliments and the support of my cosplay friends mean the world to me! I keep those words close to me.
I am honored to know you all! *hug*

Lol… I just wanted a catchy title.

It seems like they are doing a hug effort! =D
I heard that there will be lockers available for the visitors, +60 consoles and the assassin creed II demo (provided by Ubisoft) and the extra arrangements for the cosplayers (trip to London + best costume price).

This already sounds very good, it looks like they are taking a step in the right direction.
But I am waiting for the con itself… simply because aside from this, things can still be the same.
Therefore I will only form my opinion after Saturday the 17th.

is coming closer and closer!
Gosh I still have to finish 2 costumes!

I have read that are some slightly changes.
For the first time someone can win “the best costume” price.
And a Belgian participant in the anime/manga/games category who ends first gets a free trip to London for the European cosplay competition next year in MCM London. That is really nice!
For course it is only for +18 and only in that category but I am overall very pleased.
Finally there are realizing that there is a huge demand for cosplay in Belgium.

I just hope that the participants are mature enough, meaning no fights and no nasty tricks. Because I am pretty sure that there will be jealousy AND competitive participants.

Hopefully the winner that may go to London will be a good representative for our country. Someone that realize how lucky (s)he is and what kind of responsibility (s)he will carry.

On Monday my mom made a reservation for the hotel in Paris. (CJE)
Aside from that, we already have the entrance tickets for the weekend so everything is already organized!

Normally Genro, Hanami and Videll will join me.
For the moment we are still undecided what to wear or to do as a group.
We must choose between: Sailor Moon or Disney and it is a tough decision since we love them both.

I am certain that I already post the information regarding Fantasydays.
Everything is organized as well (train, hotel and entrance).

Luckily it is my birthday around that period so my parents are paying it!

And guess what? I’m really looking forward to go to those “new” conventions!
(At least, they are new to me)

Since this Saturday I found something new and added it to my Walt Disney collection.
I bought the “gallery of light” of Marry Poppins!
It is my first, official, limited “statue” of this movie and I am very proud to have it!
(except of the limited umbrella)

You can say that I collect WDCC items but not everything!
Some examples of my collection: chip ‘n’ dale, zero (Nightmare before Christmas), Beauty and the Beast (castle, rose,…), Mary Poppins and even a little castle of Enchanted.

on plenty things at the moment.
my apology for the inactivity on my blog/site but it is for a good cause!

More upcoming (or improved) costumes for FACTS and Asianim!
So keep a close eye on my site because some updates are coming soon.

All I can say: little by little, I’m learning again new things and I am beginning to see the completion.
I am curious to see the end results.

that what happens when you are starting to feel ill…
I hope that it will pass because:
- announcing to my new employer that I have to stay home, does not give me good credit
- if I have to stay home, then my trail period (6 months) will be longer
- honestly I do not have the spare time

Gosh I hope it pass…
