Description Well, I can honestly say I never expected to get more, new photos of this costume! But, in honor of WCS Preliminaries for the USA being held at KatsuCon this year, Rynn and I brought our own preliminary costumes for one last HURRAH. Now, after getting some more, beautiful photos, I can honestly say, I'm glad we wore these once more, and they can now, officially, be retired.

as Yui Hongo

Love this photo, and I have a question. I had seen this place from USA at photos much times, so where it is? Which state and city? Could you yell me this?

I love everything about this! I'm glad I got to see these in person (Even at a distance) before they are retired. I'm still impressed with how clean they were constructed!

Thanks. I love Chris' work, He does hardly any processing to the photos. <3 I have to admit, I kind of want to cosplay Yui and Miaka again, though don't know if we will, or which outfits we'd do.

I don't think I'll ever be able to look at your Yui cosplay without being absolutely amazed at the amount of effort you put into it Krystal

You're welcome hun. You're also my inspiration for getting off my butt and completing my Hotohori costume.

Such a beautiful photo! I can't wait for my yearly con to get here! We're in a new hotel and I fully plan on making use of whatever is around the convention to do awesome pictures.

Great use of the local atmosphere at Katsucon! I've seen a lot of photos from that location you're in there, but while pretty, not everyone actually *utilizes* it for their photos. Honestly I'm getting kind of tired of it as a random unused background and often find it distracting, but not here! Great sendoff for these gorgeous costumes <3

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I agree, so many people don't really USE it. I was climbing all over it all weekend -- first in Utena, then in these. I can't wait to get the rest back!

Oh wow, so gorgeous! I love both of your Miaka and Yui cosplays so much. To be honest, I'm a little sad to hear you'll be retiring them.
This makes me want to get going on my Nuriko cosplay! x'D

Aw, thank you so much. <3 It's sad to be retiring them, but the truth is, we've worn these costumes for many many MANY hours, and the delicate fabrics have really take a beating. Also, the wire in my arm and leg pieces, after being unbent and re-bent so many times, no longer retains it's shape and becomes a hassle to constantly adjust. they've gotten a lot of wear, and now we're ready to move onto other, new projects. <3

I'd like to see your Nuriko when it's done!

You're very welcome
Well when you put it that way, I suppose it would be time to retire them. But it's always good to be able to look forward to new projects to come! <3

Yeah, I'll be sure to post photos when I get around to cosplaying him. ^^
