Cosplay Cards: Kumori Con 2010 Day 3

This last day of the con we all got our costumes working as one huge group! The moogles! With a crossover cosplay of Beast Boy from Teen Titans.

I looove this outfit! It's soo adorable! Sickeningly so! We destroyed a wedding dress we got at Value Village to make this. I had way too much fun skipping around in this all day long!





Chase is an aviator moogle of course missing an airplane to drive. I put together the items at Value Village that made a sweet outfit. That is what fun about moogles you find stuff you modify to create these costumes.





Shawna created this lovely outfit adding some lace that is hard to see to make it a sweet little outfit! We did discover this time that everyone's heads are very different so the standard way of putting on moogle balls didn't work with everyone.




I love this outfit! And yes I did the art we put on the hat. We joked that my cute moogle was the girlfriend of Hannah's wanksta moogle. It was also way harder to hunt down a white puffy jacket than you would think.





We could not get the moogle ball to fit and stay on Michaele. Soo we joked that either the wanksta moogle or the moogle hunter had chopped it off. But we did have fun poofing out his hair for this outfit.





Tobi did her female version of Beast Boy but decided to take it a step further. We have Beastie Babe as we started calling her transformed into a moogle so she blends in. Of course we eventually discover something is off about this moogle...





And finally another brilliant silly costume by Olivia of being the moogle hunter that is trying to get us. This lead to a lot of fun pictures.

Cosplay Cards: Kumori Con 2009 Day 2

This day we did video game characets from Final Fantasy and the Mario games.


One thing I love at the con is the guy that plays saxophone music and will play your theme when you walk by. So I got chocobo music and got to dance to it in my costume. Tobi got this too the times she was the chocobo. I did love this random balloon I got from someone because they loved my cosplay! Hehe!

This year we had trouble with everyone taking the train down and packing up all the costumes to bring all the way to Portland. A lot of Chase's costume items got left behind. Still we got nice pics of her fighting the guy from Assassin's Creed.

This was the first time I got to ride the new MAX and I don't really like their odd interior except for this photo! I always think the yellow railings look a little more like pipes. Definitely fits the Mario motif.

We didn't know this guy but he played along well. His expression is priceless. Tobi always manages to show her tummy in one of her costumes. Though the shroom did make a great pillow to take naps in. She was a favorite of the Slightly Anime Dating Game being a "prize" both as a chocobo and Toad this year where her zombie accidentally was picked again. She didn't choose him accusing him of never calling! Hehe it was a wonderful in joke for those that went last year.

I love Shawna's Toadette she was soo cute in it. It was funny cause people would call Tobi's female variant on Toad Toadette unless Shawna was there. Hehe.

Memories: Kumori Con 2008

I felt the need to add in the con I won't put up because we only used repeat costumes. If you want the cards they're in Sakura Con 2008 Day 2.

We have fallen in love with Kumori Con's Slightly Anime Dating Game. First I love that it is all ages, second it's run by guys in kilts! Haawt!

I got up as a contestant that had to answer the questions and ended up having to do a catwalk. I was worried my moogle ball would fall off but I totally went for it! I left the other girls in the dust!


Also thank you to whoever took the pictures that year for the contest! They are amazing!!











Tobi got to be the ones asking the questions and ended up with the zombie that only answered "braains." or "braains?" to every question driving the host nuts and leaving the crowd roaring in laughter! It is kinda odd to think of a zombie end up with the "prettiest yellow chicken!"

Cosplay Cards: Sakura Con 2008 Day 2

On the main day of the con we like to pull out our best outfits:

This is version two of the moogles. I was the sexy moogle and Shawna the fluffy moogle. Great thing was when people would ask me for a hug I would point at Shawna saying, "Hug the fluffy one." It worked great! But by the end of the day Shawna was a little annoyed with me.

The bootay was made by Hannah. She is very proud of that piece of construction. One of the best stories was a woman with her daughter who knew nothing about anime or video games comes up to Tobi saying, "I don't know what you are but you are the prettiest yellow chicken I have ever seen!"

I was so happy in Kingdom Hearts when Mickey got a revamp! This costume was awesome. And yes I sacrificed the scarf I made my Puck ears with to make Mickey's ears bigger. That wasn't working quite right from the simple ears she had at first. Also that keyblade! Ooh gosh was it fragile always trying to fall apart!

If you know this anime then you'll love this costume. We got some of the best pictures with it because in the anime everyone freaks out at this characters cuteness and she gets pushed over only to be found more adorable caught like a turtle on its back. Those that knew said they wanted to push her over but wouldn't so we had them take pictures where it looked like they were going to and they loved it! This was when we really started going for pictures that had a funny staged flair to them and silly crossovers!

Cosplay Cards: Sakura Con 2007 Day 2

I did another original character of mine which was Stri. She is the sweetie of my twin sisters. She is the daughter of the Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet. Shawna custom made the ears and tail for me.

















The first of many moogles! The ball we are very proud of. Made out of construction grade wire, styrofoam ball, and red feathers. My sister made a more sexy tribal moogle for herself. The funny thing was people knowing what she was from a mile away with the big red ball bouncing above her head!

One of the earlier costumes. Hannah got the black face paint for this day. She tried to make a hoop outfit buut it didn't go as expected. She also had a backpack that she put cardboard around making it the coal she carried on her back.


For Shawna's first con she did all her own characters. This was her army chick Tawny. We learned this year that you needed something more specific with original characters that had enough details people knew they had to be from something.

















Bonus addition: A picture of my sister Tobi's moogle cosplay!
