Getting into Character

Things have changed

2010-04-22T12:55:00.000-07:00

69 days until the Anime Expo..... We have some news for you all.... or any one if any of you actually read this. We are not doing Burst Angel. I'm going back to Blood+, Gavin will join me as Amshel, and Rebecca will be a Lolita girl.

Next year we will have Haji, Diva, Salomon, Nathaniel, and a few others join this group of ours. My goal is to get EVERYONE in the top picture in cosplay for next year. Now we'll see if I can do it. :)Above... is Gavin and I. Below are the characters we dressed as. I'm working on making the character's outfits better. Looking for that right wig at the moment. Very excited since the expo is really close now. I can't wait. :)

Have a wonderful day. I know the last time was when there was 130 days left. I lost hope in our cosplay at the time. But, now I'm back and BETTER THAN EVER!!!! ^^

Stay warm stay happy,
Hannah & Rebecca

130 days left!!!! OH BOY!!!!! : )

2010-02-20T12:03:00.000-08:00

I know we still have like... ALMOST 5 months!!! Wow... I remember when it was like 12 months and I was freaking out. ><>.> Like weekly payments... or something. lol Ok I have to go and get ready for work. -.- *sigh*

Have a good day! :)

P.S,
I remember some people saying bigger fount is easier to read... so here you go. :)
Big enough?

Crunching Time

2010-01-17T10:58:00.000-08:00

That's what it looks like when I fart while Hannah is driving.
Not that Jo is driving in that picture. Because she isn't.
And not that I fart.
Because girls don't fart.
Ever.
Glad we got that covered.
Bye!

O.o I can't believe she just said that! I know I haven't posted for a while so here we are posting. We have about 165 more days until the expo. This is where the crunching begins. We start to do the tanning for the characters, posing, voice acting as well. Yes. Voice acting. My goal is to be able to do Jo's voice with no problems going from my normal voice to hers. I have some SERIOUS work to do. But, I'm totally ready for it.... kind of! haha Okay, time for me to crunch the homework. ><>

bye bye,
The Cosplay Sisters

Putting a title to make One-san happy. O.o

One-chan is nagging me about not having posted anything in "quite some time" (ba-dump-dump-psh! I'm so funny. Sorry people who don't understand it, it's an inside joke ^.^ Heh...) so this post shall be written by me. I don't really know why we're posting stuff when no one is even reading this yet, but hey. Why not? Hannah's answer: It's fun.

Personally I find it rather disheartening but maybe if I keep writing and writing and writing then the blue fairy will descend from above and grant my wish! Then I'll become a magical fairy princess and the world will revolve around me! Okay, sorry, I'll stop being cynical now >.<

So the picture above is Jo and Meg watching a scary movie in a movie theatre on one of their few days off. If this were me and Hannah watching the scary movie, depending on what was scary about it (i.e. Zombies would probably scare Hannah and giant spiders would scare the pee out of me for sure), then the pose would probably be the same for us. Well if it were zombies I wouldn't be as scared, so maybe Hannah would be the one clenching onto my arm so hard that I wouldn't feel any circulation going through at all... I wonder. Hey lets try it out!!! *Calls to Hannah* Let's go watch Resident Evil!!! *snicker*

Hannah hates that movie.

With a passion.

I haven't seen it yet though. Would like to.

Oh! My arms are getting stronger ^.^

That makes me happy.

Well except for when they're really tired afterwards. Then I'm not happy. Yeah.

I'm thinking about roller blading to school sometimes. Excellent exercise for das Legs. Which isn't proper German. German for leg is "bein". Just so you know. Don't get them mixed up, some mean German person will come up to you and punch you in the face.

Painful-like.

Okay.

I'm done.

Kudos to the first person to read this.

Ne-chan, Signing out!

As odd as it is the Expo isn't that far.

As for Meg we haven't gotten her outfit made yet. I want to wait a little longer. Becca needs to be a little more firm in the body. haha But there's hardly any work to do with Becca. haha This is going to be one of a kind Expo I can already tell ><>

We've got some poses to work with. haha Jo's outfit just got finished and finalized. I'm thrilled to say that it should be here in a week or two. Which I'm fine with since I want to work with it as much as I can. Now the wig, guns, and contacts (which I won't be getting until I have 3 months to go til the Expo.)

Have a great day!

Body Art

So, Ne-chan and I have now finished Burst Angel. We both are not happy with the ending. I figured it would happen. The good guys never really get the happiest endings in Manga.

Well... here is Jo's tattoo kind of thing. It is her marking. When she is under stress her tattoo shows up. It's called the Devil's wings. It's a pretty nifty name. Especially for Jo. haha

People (in the show) say that those that see her tattoo don't live to see the next day. O.o that's not good. But, then again that shows how she is. Doesn't think twice. Not good >.<

I'm going to have mom do art up my arm and over my back. We just need to find shinny purple stuff. So far no good. I'm thinking purple permenit ink marker. Seems to be the best think. I know mom will need to practice this as well since it goes over to the right shoulder blade.

This is one big tattoo. It's going to be AWESOME! ^^

I'm such and odd ball ><>

But It will be tons of fun. It will be a nice outfit too. Nice and cool. Since in July it's about high 80s low 90s it might even be in the 100s. We'll just have to wait and see when the time comes.

Have a good day!

Episode 24 part 2

2009-09-01T09:12:00.000-07:00

304
So close and yet, so far. I am at Episode 24 part 2. This is the last episode. I'm SO sad and yet SO happy. I've never finished a show SO fast. EVER! ><

Ok, well this is Jo, again, and her two Desert Eagles. Since I'm not allowed to bring really fire arms to the Expo I will be buying to Desert Egale air shot guns and make them look like Jo's.

Jo is a really cool girl. She was born and raised to fight, anything stronger than her. That's HUGE since there are alot of things that are stronger than her. But no matter what she defeats all of them and goes back out and takes on the rest of them. It's really cool.

Another really cool thing about her is that when she gets under alot of stress and pressure she gets this design (kind of like a tattoo), from her left hand to her right shoulder blade.

She is going to be VERY fun to work with since her poses are unlimited and all the pictures I could take becuse of her and her tattoo thingy. Her guns will be TONS of fun too.

Well today, has started out.... BAD! T.T (that means I'm glaring at the computer.) When I woke up the power was out which left me very confused, and kind of scared. Since I had work at 10:45 I slightly panicked. With out REALLY thinking I called work and told Patty my problem. Since I didn't have a way to fix my problem she didn't really care. >,<

Well I know it's random and I don't really have to talk about it I just had to get it out there since it's been bugging me. haha

Well I hope your day is cool,
Onee-san

Irritating

2009-08-30T14:12:00.000-07:00

309 days left

The more I think about this the more irritating it gets.... No matter the show no matter HOW long a character is in the show. I will cry when they die. Each show has at least one death.
This time a father has been lost. That's just one SO FAR. *tears*

I'm just gonna say this Jo will be one fun girl while walking around. I get to chew gum!!! ^^

Try to keep cool you guys!

Working out

2009-08-27T09:41:00.000-07:00

312 days to go

Onee-san~ So I'm working out to make sure I'm in tip top shape for Jo. Well Ne-chan seems to think that she is fine (well she is right. Meg doesn't work out, and she looks pretty pathetci. In the hole muscel area.) But, I'm still making her work out with me. She doesn't like me for it. Don't believe me. Read the post from Ne-chan.

This video is of me finally getting Ne-chan to work out. It's funny to watch. I can't really think of anything else at the moment. So...

BYE BYE! ^^

the First Scathing Article, by Ne-chan.

2009-08-26T00:54:00.000-07:00

As many of you who have become acquainted with working out may know, the morning after your first vigorous series of exercises includes some of the worst pain you have ever felt. Ever. Now maybe you people have more backbone than I do. Maybe you were born with more muscle than I was. Maybe you are male and are naturally stronger than a poor weak little girl like me. Frankly, I really don't care. All *I* know is that *I* did not get the joy of going through the rest of my day pain-free. Oh no. That burn came about five minutes later. I also know that I do NOT like walking with a gimp in my leg; I do NOT like experiencing discomfort in my shoulder joints while lifting a stack of plates that equals to maybe five pounds, at the most; AND I do NOT like having what I'm sure whiplash must feel like in my upper and lower spine. In general, I don't like pain. I don't like to feel it and I do not like others to feel it. I tihnk of pain in general as a bad thing. So right now you can imagine, an dimagine correctly that I am asking myself just what the he!! I have gotten myself into. Those of you out there who believe that "pain is just weakness leaving the body" need serious medical help. If you ever find yourself in need of me (which I doubt will happen, since I am not practised in medical aid in the slightest.) I will be hiding under a rock. A rock at the bottom of the deepest hole in the world. A rock at the bottom of the deepest hole in the world covered with camoflauge and booby traps. A rock at the bottom of the deepest hole in the world covered with camoflauge and booby traps in a country that has yet to be discovered. Well except by me of course. Anyways, my point is that I am going to go an dhide from the pain that has been following me around school for the past TWO days while I ran to my classes (because a few adults I know were not on top of things) with a LIMP. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO RUN WITH A DEFECTIVE LEG AND FLIP FLOPS?!?!? Try it. I dare you.
A very disgruntled Ne-chan, Signing out.

Introductions

2009-08-25T07:45:00.000-07:00

314 days left.

I've noticed that we did not introduce ourselves. I'm sure most of you know us. But as of those that don't, well then, sit down and read! lol ^^ Onee-san means older sister, bigger sister (it's along those lines). I'm the one on the far right (with the whiskers). I, am Onee-san. I'm 20 years old and I've been cosplaying for 2 years. My first year was REALLY bad, my second year I got A LOT better. Now this year I aim to be the BEST ^^ ....well one of the best... at least. lol

The redhead on left is Ne-chan (the one with the 5 on her head). She is 18 years old. Her first Expo was July of this year. She was OK this year. The first year for anyone feels like Christmas. So many different colors, and crazy people that are dressed to impress, or wear what ever they have in their closet and fit in for a change. All in all it's really exciting for the first time. When the second year rolls around you feel more relaxed there. Sure your still shaking with excitement but you're able to control yourself more. Well I was... I'm not too sure how Ne-chan will do yet... O.o heh

I plan to bring Ne-chan to greatness with me. T.T We have some work to do. A lot of work to do.

I have faith in her though. I'm sure she'll do fine. We still have oh a good 314 days left. If my math is right that's how many days we have to get everything taken care of. When actually I should have been getting ready for next years Expo the day the Expo started. ><>

Off to work for me. ^^

Burst Angels

2009-08-24T12:15:00.000-07:00

Onee-san: This is Jo from Burst Angels. I will be her if you can't tell already. I always go for the kick butt girl. lol ((Becca's comments will be in double parenthesis henceforth. She does seem to have the right kind of attitude for it, doesn't she? lol Meaning Hannah of course.))

((And this will be me. We figured that since I already have the reddish hair we could save money on wigs and haircuts by letting my hair grooooooooow... For an insane amount of time. Plus we're gonna be needing some padding for you know where. I don't know how she keeps so skinny with all that weight up top lol She must have back issues by now.))

As you can see these outfits are... reveling.... VERY reveling... So we will be modifying them to be better and more covering. Meg has it easier and Jo in this case since she has more clothes on.

((This is gonna be a possible pose methinks. It's a popular poster for the anime. So I hear, at least. I really like these characters because they have so much potential for when we're walking around and posing! I'm excited ^.^))

Onee-san: Ne-chan and I are working on poses already. Trying to see what is good and what is bad. It will also let me know what parts of the body to work out. lol

Onee-san: Ex: Arm is sticking out (work arms out so they won't shake.), doing a side kick (BALANCE! lol)

Onee-san: This is a better picture of what I will be wearing. She has a scarf though. It's going to be one hot costume to wear.

((Another insanely skinny person. Still, Hannah is skinny. Jo is skinny. It all works out.))

Onee-san: Even though I am skinny I have to tone my abs, legs, and arms to be just as good. ><

As you all can tell we have a work cut out for us. lol

Have a great day!!!
