just a quick note; this isn't going to be an all out whine about how much my life sucks and feelings and shit . . . maybe a little dwelling on a feeling, but that's to get my point across!

mkay so i have decided i'm going to take cosplaying more seriously, i really enjoy it; i like that feeling after making something that looks half decent, i fucking love the feeling of fabulousness after getting dolled up and i love that feeling that comes from flaunting my shit that i made
and so im going to take it more seriously, starting after supanova (because that's less then a month away . . . )

what do i mean by 'taking it seriously' you ask? three things;

• im going to budget my pay check

• exercise to get rid of those wiggly bits

• at least attempt to make or alter 70% of the elements of a cosplay

'but ali you don't need to exercise, you're already skinny, just be happy in your own skin'
fuck off i'm serious just leave this page right now if you're going to do that ^
gone? good
the other day i basically stripped down before a shower and took a good long look at myself and decided that i wasn't happy with the way my body looked, i'm not saying that it's an unhealthy unhappiness that will eventually lead to a mental disorder, no, this is just a you-could-and-should-do-better feeling and so i'm basically just going to work off the extra deposits around the main problem areas (you know ass, thighs etc) because it's going to make ME feel good, not you, me

ok so that's the basic rant of feels that i needed (pfft wanted) to get through before i got down to it
below are the cosplays that WILL be happening by the end of this year;


luckily i have finally figured out how to do Ariel's hair poof!!
now i just need to learn out to sew a corset into a dress . . .
i am fucking determined to make Ariel work, anyway alongside the purchase of a few of art books, my love for her designs has been set alight, and so i am also determined to either do; or
knowing me i'll probably do both . . .
