Comic World was a blast, as usual, and we saw a lot of familiar faces again. The comic book setup was bigger than last month and there were more than 1,000 cosplayers.  I was number 1652! We were supposed to meet everyone around 11, but it ended up being around noon since I was up half the night trying to curl my wig. I realized after an hour of trying to curl it that it was, in fact, heat resistant and I could just use the curling iron. However, it was REALLY heat resistant and I just couldn’t curl it the way I wanted to with the amount of time that I had. I don’t normally style wigs, or even my own hair, so it was an experience.

When we got to the convention center, we signed up, got changed and wandered around with a few photographers trying to find a good spot. We found a ton of great areas, but all of them were restricted to cosplayers. If you were wearing normal clothes and decided to do a photo shoot there, then it would’ve been totally cool. We settled on taking photos outside in the cold weather, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The sun kept me pretty warm and after awhile it didn’t bother me much. Dan was so freakin’ lucky to be wearing a trench coat and pants. Next winter I’m definitely making warmer costumes!

He must be cold!

So many awesome cosplayers.

Afterwards, we had pasta and pizza.

Our next costumes will be Organization XIII from Kingdom Hearts. I’m in the process of making one of three jackets and Dan’s making the weapons. If I have more time then I’ll make more, but as of now we have Xaldin, Axel and Roxas.
