RB's motivation: Technicalities GTFO!!

Alright so another insomnia night coming off this! Had to just figure out a bunch of things that needed to be sewn in that night, now granted there's always more but it was nice to take some of the small stuff off the list. Cause most of it was just EATING AT ME. And another reason why I need my own machine, so no binge parties. 

Here is a Twilight jacket/cardigan Tricia gave me that I just wanted to tweak. The lower right is the real color of the jacket, very fuzzy wool. Mainly turned a turtle neck into a useless hoodie. And cut it down the middle. Was going to add buttons but it's pretty small and I kind of am okay without buttons right now

Here's the hood sort of, can't really figure it out in the picture. And here's the amazing pink stitching b/c I FUCKING HATE CHANGING BOBBINS.

Next on ponies I tackled the fluttershy sweater. The knit material was actually two thick to sew so i just did it by hand really cept for hemming.

I love the sleeves, but not digging the extra collar, real scratchy.

This was a really anal thing for me. Just buttons, then the button holes to sew. But it's finally done, and from now on only 3 buttons. Unless I fix the last buttonhole I'm only gonna be goin for 3/4



Now this took fucking forever. I didn't think it would but the fabric was too thick for the machine really, berets are difficult, closed garmet, and the thread kept piling up and jamming the machine. Bad things.....


It doesn't cling to my head like I wanted but it does sit intact which is fine for now. Also I get a pocket!


And honestly that is the most artist thing you could do it put a pocket in your beret for storage....I don't have a pic right now but I did just add the medallions to the hat and it looks very complete now. So Kugel Mugel is FOREVER DONE

Yeah not really high enough expectations!

RBs motivation: Okay willy nilly impulsy cosplays....notepad/kugelmugel update

Been listening to so much 80s, just like 8th grade again. DON'T YOU BRING YOUR LOVE DOWN, ALL NIGHT. Yaz is beautiful.

But still so watched Bee and Puppycat, Thankyou Kibi. I'm gonna be saying this for the rest of my life probably.

Found out lulu will be doing Bee(girl) for Daisho and I thought I had my lineup of Notepad-Rwby-Fluttershy. But I think I'll be adding Puppycat instead of fluttershy. Who knows I might jsut pile one on the other just because scheduling with other people always sucks. But it'll be fun. And it might be good for me to be just as erratic as some people and their cosplays (no offense to people that do plan 5 in one day nonproffessional) It's just not my thing right now. Too much UNNEEDED stress for me....

But yeah get back to positive here. So far this is my design because it's puppy cat, I don't want a huge project especially at such a surprise. It's mainly going to be a jacket, leggings and my trusty hiking boots. Going to reuse my kugelmugel wig as a somewhat genderbent version. More just young and edgy like I like. Because I imagine him as a either an old man or very princely (maybe like Kuro from Project K/Project.Gay). Most of it will be jsut detailing. Like adding brown tea bags on the pigtails because siamese. And KB gave my the awesome idea for masking tape/paperbag eye brows.

What I love about this cosplay is I get be grumpy cat, without actually being grumpy cat. And also gibberish. I've been breaking out into gibberish since 5th grade. NOW IT'S USEFUL :D

Next is the list of impulse cosplays I'm planning. Won't explain in full now but a somewhat genderbent peppermint butler. I just really want to experiment with a red and white wig for this. Thinking of turning a bucky fever wig (wisconsin) into a slick back mullet. Everything else will be details as well

Then there's the mookie000 bunnies. Honestly I'd love to do them all. But I think right not my first priority would be her LSP just because, I will never be too fat or too thin for her. Also purple leggins I already have!

Then I really love her Lady Rainicorn, and as a character I would probably do her over any other princess just because she's so bad ass and fun.

And then finally in the more mainstream cosplay ideas, I always look for FP when it comes AT princesses cosplaywise (Marceline still fav but FP makes a close second in princesses) And look at this adorbs bunny.

Obv. She's done more but those I don't feel like posting since I don't think I'll ever want to cosplay them in the future. I'll have to like really build up my self for Marceline, want to do her beauty justice.

Then in the actual realm. I so far fixed the Kugel Mugel vest. It originally had one awk button that held nothing but boob shame. So I actually sewed on more. First time adding buttons to anything. Used a man proof sewing site for reference, because I know myself. Diff. buttons? Eh DGAF it's ART



Don't have pictures yet but so far I made real progress on notepad, well I think. I am becoming very savvy with the machine, fast learner, no fear, no time, ultimate motivation. My seams are a little metrosexual. But hell did I hem the shit out of a bar napkin. SO DAMN CLOSE TOT HE EDGE YOU COULD MAKE A SEX SOLO ON THAT SHIT.

I think I'm really coming along on her and I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR SHIT
-also no more comic con chicago cuz fuck that BUT I GOT TO GO TO COMIC CON MADISON WITH MY DAD HOORAY!!!-

RB's motivation: Update post sumemr photoshoot and life

I just moved the desk I had my ancient 90s tv on to the desk at my bed. Let's just say my life is improving as I move out. Or I'm getting the best ideas at too late at night

Why did I never think of this ultimate lazy technique?

Kind of should ahve updated this like a week ago. But SRP had our mass summer photoshoot. Not everything was photographed but I think it was giant improvement since KIBI'S FUCKING BACK. Jesus I missed that woman. And she brought a car, amongst other things. But still I got all my shit done. Including this monstrosity.

My legging strategy worked as well as it should. Now this stitching looks like shit, but for one of my first ever experiences sewing on a machine my own cosplay, it is the shiniest turd I'll ever defend besides Obama.

Also got the dark green stocking together amidst some real frankestein hybrid conditions of broken machine sewing and hand sewing while I'm wearing it. I was so scared to walk around in these but they work. I think after the monstrosity of the stripe stocking transfusion I will be painting on the white stripes in the future just so I never have to mess with them again. -painter perks-

But here's a selfie of kugelmugel, -painted on eyebrows with white eyeliner for the win-

And most definitely favorite outfit of the day. Forgive the strange face. I needed to show this meat dress because I made the whole fucking thing myself with just raw emotion, tye dye and hand sewing. I realize I will never look anything close to Gaga so the white wig will forever be a kugelmugel wig and I'm fine with that. 

-stolen flowercrown, self made studs or foam board and bedazzle jewels

-gov't hooker pearls

-walgreens makeup

-torn yellow tights

-insane 3 inch blue wedge platforms for prom

Seriously shopstyle.com has amazing shoes. Got these bad boys for just 35 dollars and they were in my size of 5.5. Just go there. Go there.

I felt so good in this shit I wore it to a chinese restaurant. And ate in it. Because it's that fucking comfortable, besides turning my armpits and fingernails red.

Besides cosplay, almost my entire room is just boxes now. I'm really excite so far. I've donated so much to savers and goodwill, they recognize me. I think this good karma is like just coming back because I just won something on behalf of The cosplay fox
FB page: https://www.facebook.com/TheCosplayFox

I just feel so fricking happy this summer. Ever since the fucking senior year ended it's just been so much better. And being 18 sure kicks the shit out of 17

Lulu, when she recovers from wisdom teeth surgery will update with the beautiful photos. And SRP minus RB is gonna be running Geek.kon by the skeleton this year

So there's an update. For sure. Another smaller one will be up soon

RB's motivation: Kugelmugel hat FINALLY 'doin shit yourself'

And a little change of pace in the same time frame. I was thinking during the leggings, I might as well kill two birds with one stone and my dad's old shirt popped into my head. This was originally going to become a make it your self duct tape mannequin. Now it's becoming a french beret. It's got towel fabric so it was pretty nice

 Here's the sub hat I used last year and will use for a small pattern now

 Here it is all cut out. I cut two circle just in case and used the hem of the shirt for a sort of casing thing that makes the hat stay on the head.......technicalities and terms I don't know

 So wrapped the hem around my head to find the right size. Pinned one of the circles to the hem and it's really small so far so good thing we have the second circle to add on for later to give it nicer volume and puff.

Hopefully again this all goes well and I'm not wasting more hours of sleep again like I did with making show accurate pony doll hair......

SUNDAY PHOTOSHOOT HERE WE COME -still nervous-
