This will be my second convention of the year and probably the last for the year unless something awesome happens. Now that I have a regular job, I might not be able to go to as many events as I was before, but that's all good because money = new costumes.

I will be attending Anime Central this year in Chicago, IL 20-22. I will also be celebrating my birthday there as I turn 26 on the 24th.

I plan on wearing SonSon on Friday, Angel Stocking on Saturday and also Transformation Kneesocks on Saturday as well. I'm not sure which costume I will wear first though.

I'm working hard on making Kneesocks' transformation outfit, and I am hoping to complete it by the end of this week as I don't have much time left! There is still some tweaking needed on my angel Stocking dress as well, for some reason the top isn't laying like I want it to, so I might have to re-make some parts.

Sometimes I wish there was more than 24 hours in a day... I'm cutting it close.

So to those who are attending ACen as well, I hope to see you there!

 

I am going to be attending KitsuneKon ([link] weekend in Appleton,WI. It's going to be the con's first year, and I'm really looking forward to it. I will be bringing Faye Valentine, SonSon, and hopefully on Sunday I can wear my I-no and bring along the prop guitar

I'm looking forward to meeting new people and making new friends.

 

Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad! メリークリスマス！메리 크리스마스!

I hope everyone has a great Holiday weekend!

Also good news -- The stolen art issue has been resolved! They were very kind and removed it from the website

Hope everyone's New Year is great as well~ ^_^

 

I've seen this happen to many others on deviantart. A company steals their work, and mass produces it.

Well thanks to someone informing me through email, I have found out that it has happened to me as well.

A company via Alibaba is using this image:


to sell their product located here- [link]



What should I do? I'm going to try to contact the company, and I'm hoping they will comply, but nothing like this has happened before so I'm not quite sure how to deal with it properly. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

Hey guys! I have some exciting news.

First and foremost -- Thank you to whomever donated a subscription to me! That was very kind of you! Thanks again!

Alright, so now for the news. I will be attending ConComics as a Cosplay Guest in Guadalajara, Mexico on December 11-12! I'm so excited! I'd never been to Mexico before, nor ever been invited as a guest to a con. This will be a wonderful experience! I'm also hosting a panel as well~ I hope too meet lots of new people and make new friends as well. So if you're going to ConComics, I hope to meet you!

----

Also, Tokyo Game Show was amazing! I have photos up on my flickr: [link]

The experience was a lot different than going to an American convention. First off, you don't go to the event in costume. You have a designated area to change in, and also a designated hallway where the cosplayers hang out. I talked more about it in my youtube video: [link]

Oh, I also got to meet Danny Choo and Hideo Kojima! It was a chance meeting though, I ran into Danny in front of Taito Game Station in Akihabara, and Hideo at the Microsoft Party after the 2nd business day of TGS. I'd have to say that's going to be a hard vacation to top!

----

I'm thinking about uploading a collection of sketches I've done over the months since I haven't done any finished artwork. I also hope to acquire funds for new costumes over the x-mas holiday so I can finally make SonSon ^_^

I hope everyone is doing well!

 

I'm leaving for Tokyo Game Show on Sunday ^_^ Super excited for this. I'll get to cosplay there. It's always been my dream to cosplay in Japan, and now it's coming true!

I'll come back with a report of my trip, and of course a link to photos of Japan!

See you guys later!

 

Due to me going to Japan for Tokyo Game Show next week (on EXTREMELY short notice for Tokyo Game Show), I'm needing to make some extra money for spending cash, so I'm having a sale over my etsy shop! If you ever thought about buying from me, now is the time! Buy one Get one 1/2 off + Free shipping inside the USA!! Discounts will be refunded back to you through paypal once payment is made!(I honestly wish Etsy had an easier way to go about this, but that's how most users do sales) Thanks for looking!

TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY!!

Here's a sample of what you'll find at HezaChanPlush on Etsy:



Thanks for looking :3

 

My newest I-no cosplay deviation has gotten over 12,589 views, 926 faves, and 176 comments in just 24 hours!

Thank you guys so much!

For all you new watchers, if interested in seeing more of my cosplay, you can visit my site @ [link], or follow me on facebook-- [link]

Thank you guys once again! You rock!

 

So yeah, I notice I rarely post journals to dA anymore. I just guess I just don't know what to say.

Thanks for everyone who wished me a happy birthday last month It means a lot. I celebrated with a few friends, and ate delicious Korean food.

Anime Central '10 was a blast this year! I got to cosplay with the lovely Jia*Jem again, and also won an award for my I-no cosplay. I consider that to be a big feat because all the costumes at the masquerade and hall contest where so awesome.

No more conventions in the works for me this year (at least I don't think), but I'm going to try to make more costumes regardless. SonSon from Marvel vs Capcom 2 is definitely going to be in the works this year. I've been wanting to cosplay her for a while, and I just kept putting it off.

Hope everyone is doing great and having a wonderful spring/summer.

 

Man. I'm a quarter of a century old.

I don't know how I feel about this. LOL

 

Ok, I've been a deviant for 6 years now and I have watched the website change over and over again.

Each time I sucked it up and just dealt with the new layout, but this is getting pretty damned ridiculous.

As soon as I get used to the "new" layout, another one comes along and I have to get used to it all over again. I hated stacks, and then liked it once you had the option to not have stacks, so why not have an option to switch to a "classic mode"?

This new layout looks like crap to me, specially when viewing deviations. I hate it. And the comment bubbles look stupid too.

That's just my $0.02

 

I had a wonderful time! Got to see a lot of familiar and new faces!

I cosplayed as Chibiusa, Faye Valentine, and I-no.

HezaChan.com has also been updated with new Faye Valentine photos.

 

I'll be in Chicago this weekend for Anime Central.

Hope to see some of you guys there!

 

OTACOOL 2 has been released!
I can't wait to get my copy in the mail, although there has been some complications with my order. Jason had got it for me for my birthday present, but it turns out after he pre-ordered, he had gotten a new credit card, so now the old number that he used was invalid. Hopefully we can get it all sorted out, and I'll get my copy in a little while. If not, I suppose I'll have to look for it at ACen.


Check out CosplayGen! -  www.cosplaygen.com [link]
It's a magazine about cosplay, chock full of cosplay from around the world, articles, and tutorials!

I wrote a tutorial for them on how to go about making a high ponytail wig using 2 wigs, and with absolutely no sewing or adding wefts is involved.


Miss my online radio interview with 91.8 The fan?!
Check it out here: [link]


Also I look forward to going to Anime Central this year in Chicago, IL. I already got my badge, and I'm working on a new costume for it -- I-no from Guilty Gear XX! I hope I can finish it in time. Hope to see you there!

 

Howdy folks!

As some of you know, I made it to the cover of OTACOOL2 along with many other talented cosplayers. I'm excited for the book to come out because the layout of the pages look nice, and also I'm curious as to who made it in the book, and exactly how many faces I will recognize. The book comes out in April.

I also am going to be on 91.8 The Fan on March 30th 2pm PST for an interview on cosplay! So excited!



I have also been working with CosplayGen (created by the same people who do Otaku Magazine) for their first issue. I wrote a tutorial for them ^_^ That magazine comes out in May.

2010 has been a pretty rad year so far.

I will be attending Anime Central this year, but I will most likely only be cosplaying as Chibiusa and Faye Valentine. I don't have the cash to pump out a new costume before hand unfortunately.

Also, I made a public facebook page for my cosplay since my private profile was getting friend requests from people I didn't know. (but that's my fault for linking it on my site for a little while!) Check it out if you wish: [link]

 

Sure it's a little late for some of you, but have a great St. Patty's day!

Thanks also to all my watchers and visiters for the 100,000+ pageviews!

 

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone and Year of the Tiger~

 

Sorry, I won't be making it to OhayoCon this year. My boyfriend is on crunch at work and can't get the time off.

It's ok because I'll still be going to ACen.

Hope everyone who is going has fun~

 

Happy 2010 everyone! I hope everyone's New Year's weekend was great!

Man I'm so late on updating on these things! Sorry guys.

Been busy as of late, making new scarves, and working on a new cosplay!

I'm going to *try* to make it to Ohayocon this year. I was asked to make Faye Valentine for a group a while ago, but it turns out the group isn't going to happen, so I'll just go as Faye by myself! I thinking about bringing Chibiusa too since I haven't worn it to a con yet.

I am finished with Faye's wig, and I am currently cutting out and sewing pieces for her top and pants. I can't wait to be finished with it because I have been wanting to cosplay her for a while now.

Also, this year, be on the lookout for a SonSon cosplay from Marvel vs Capcom 2. This year I'm going to try to make costumes that I have put on the back burner for a while.

Hope everyone's doing well!

 

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day, and that you all got what you wanted
