Hi all! How are you?

For several circumstances, I've been myself forced to change my schedule this year.

My definitive (more or less...) costume planning for 2011 will be:

VI Japan Weekend Madrid (October):
- Saturday: Beast (Beauty and the Beast)
- Sunday: Kotetsu T. Kaburagi (Tiger & Bunny)

Salón del Manga de Barcelona (October-November):
- Saturday: Kotetsu T. Kaburagi (Tiger & Bunny)
- Sunday-WCS: Yuuko Ichihara (Xxxholic)
- Monday-Regular Contest: Date Masamune (Brave 10)
- Tuesday: Kotetsu T. Kaburagi - gym version - (Tiger & Bunny)

Expocomic:
- No fucking idea

I'm so overexcited with Tiger & Bunny, and I've fallen in love so deeply with Kotetsu this season, that now I have no regrets of changing some plans.
Can't wait to dress and act like the most adorable derp EVER, and greatest hero of the whole World <3 BTW, I bought some tiger's pajamas to take some silly photos as Kotetsu would do.

I feel very sorry for Kanda, Ikki, and Legolas costumes, but this year is not the perfect moment for them. I want to make those costumes so much, that I prefer to wait to more favorable times.

Spiderwebs are going to appear in my journal... XD

Well then, long time no see!! and so much things have passed...: The most important one was my journey to Sao Paulo, Brazil, in order to compete in the International Yamato Cosplay Cup representing Spain. It's been for sure my best cosplayer experience and one of the best days of my life... I can't describe how I felt there!! That's so fucking amazing!
Conventions there are very very humble, but crowded of such an incredible people I can't describe... Everyone treated me so well, and we became friends so easily, that I'm missing them everyday.
We made the promise to see us again next year accompanying the new representatives of each country, so I'll try my best to earn money and be there again. I love you so much!! =;3;
The contest itself was GREAT. I had so much fan with my own performances and the other ones!!! The "style" of performances there it's very different from the ones we make in Europe, and I found it very interesting to know.
My oh-so-secret-costume was finally the Beast, from The Beauty and the Beast! Such an experiment for me... I've never done anything similar before (just the "giant plushie" Ohzaru from Dragon Ball Z last year) and now I think it was very risky for my skills. But well, I had a very fun time making both the Beast and prince costumes and now I love them very much despite the many failures the Beast one has.
I'll wear it again for the V Japan Weekend Madrid next october, so I have the courage and better skills to improve it!! I love to be the Beast, everyone wants to hug him =3

My performances:
Traditional www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD8s-L… and "Livre" www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sUbfa…

For the near future, I'm putting my most effort to the WCS Spanish preliminary. I don't go to compete, but to surprise as much as my skills permit and make something "different". Well, the topic is "Clamp", not so surprising XD, but I hope the people like and enjoy our performance.
Time ago is no longer a surprise that I'm going with Limnauth as Yuuko (myself) and Watanuki (Limnauth) from Xxxholic, but recently we told the people that our costumes will be the Chess ilustration ones. I've loved those costumes since the very first time I saw them, and I dreamed of making that Yuuko since then. Now, thanks to Limnauth, the time has arrived and I'm SO excited!! I've never done such a huge dress before and I want to wear it ASAP!!! <3

I've never talked so much in my journal before so... BEEEEEEP, time to finish!! XD
