It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]
So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts. Now… [more]

Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing. The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]

I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]
Went to the So-Cal Cosplay Spring Gathering today. Never been to something like this and i have no idea who linked this to me but it just seemed like something totally fun to go to! We had decided to go some time ago but only finalized our plans to go yesterday and since i didn’t want to wear my Shugo Chara cosplay since it’s so hot i decided to make something on the fly! Went and got the material for the shirt and made the shirt last night and already had the shorts, wig, and borrowed the boots from a friend. Easy cosplay and fast FTW!
Went with a couple of my friends, we arrived a bit late only to meet my friends Fancy India and her boyfriend Loren. They dressed up as random Ouran High Students.
Loren being badass…
This only reminds me of Buddy Christ!
AWWWWW!!!
To come along with me in my car with Kawaii Clare in her steam punk design, we changed it a bit but i think she want to retire this overall design.
I got her to climb in a tree for the most epic pictures ever!
Bloods
Testing the wind!
See she’s really in a tree! It was super tall too but the angle I’m at it looks like a little tree…
Blowing away a dandelion!
There was just something epic and awesome about this picture…
Oh no she’s gonna hit him!
Friends?
Aww they made up!
A very nice pond, they had duckies, turtles, geese and fishies! Very nice scenery and a good place to take pictures, awesome place for a cosplay gathering!
Oh it’s me!
Silly
Found another steam punk person!
Aurora and Ariel
Very nice Kureha, still need to track down the Max Factory Kureha 🙁
The most badass bad guy there! Anti Spiral!
Didn’t get his name but he said he knew my website when I gave him a business card! When people tell me things like that it makes my day!
A very cute and accurate Nagi!
Oh Noes an Impurity!
I wanted to steal this flag, no one wanted to be a distraction so i could 🙁
Liked the Parallel works Kamina/Simon. More the Simon than the Kamina, good costume, maybe want to work on the wig 🙁
Yum Lunch!
After eating we took the leftover french fries and fed teh duckies! Aren’t these babies adorable!
Feeding the geese as well!
More Swing pictures!
Found another Sheryl Nome! Didn’t get more pictures with her since we left a little while after… I had tons of fun, plus the fact that we didn’t have to pay for anything was awesome! They had listed on their website how you had to pay $10 and when we got there we were contemplating staying there without paying. But then these Park Rangers came up and asked us if we paid for our entrance fee for the gathering. We were worried they were gonna kick us out since we didn’t and told them we hadn’t but were going to. They then informed us that since we were in a public park they are not allowed to charge for entrance for the gathering. They told us how the $10 is only supposed to be a “donation” and that if we did pay to go back and ask for our money back! They did do a raffle and have BBQ so we didn’t mind not paying since we weren’t gonna participate in either. I had tons of fun and would totally go back and do this again for sure! No complaints yet i do wonder why their website listed Bill Cosby would be there and we didn’t see bill Cosby or even any Jello Pudding! I’m not sure if it was a joke? Or if he did arrive but arrived after 4pm since that’s around the time we left. Either way since i didn’t pay i can’t complain about anything, and even if i did pay i don’t think i would have complained since i did happen to have a blast! Also had someone ask to do a photo shoot, can’t wait till i get the pictures back, if i get his permission I’ll post them here later!
You can now follow me on

Wow! You make a really great Sheryl. I dig your wig~
Thanks! it’s my favorite wig out of all the wigs i’ve gotten in the past
It looks really nice on you.
well thanks! i was actually worried it made me look too tan…
Nope, not at all! I can’t wear blonde wigs, I’m too white, I end up looking sick.
see i hear it all depends on the tone of the blonde you choose
That’s probably very true. But I stay away from most blonde cosplays for that reason, I also just prefer fun-crazy-colored characters anyways.
i do love cosplaying crazy colored hair characters, my last big cosplay was Amu from Shugo Chara with the pink wig! It’s still so weird for me when i see myself since i’m so used to my black hair!
I saw that! It was really cute too, <3 to Amu. I was going to cosplay Suu with a bunch of friends but things like school, money and work got in the way so now I’m just doing Rydia from FFIV this year at the only con I go to.
That’s pretty cool!!!
I love the photos!!!
So many cosplayers!!!
We had something like that in Canada…but it was at a buffet.
Nice Sheryl cosplay!!!!!!
Macross Frontier fan I see!!!
At my next convention in 2 weeks, I’m going as Luca from Macross Frontier…
Rins last blog post..Mikuru Asahina Gekisou
oh that’s be a cool cosplay! i wish there were more Frontier cosplayers here, i would have loved to take more pictures with them
Oh wow, Anti-Spiral umm, I’m speechless :p hahaha, wonderful :p
And as everyone else has said, great “hair” ^_^
Michael Fluxs last blog post..Keeping up with the news
lol thanks for the “hair” compliment! ^_~
Those duck cosplayers did a fantastic job!
Baka-Raptors last blog post..Baka-Raptor’s Conservatively Adventurous Filler Road Trip
they were of course the best dressed at the gathering, yet there was a bad duck cosplay, this huge as geese/duck/swam horrible jumble that was terrifying… i don’t know why i didn’t get a picture of it, it would scare anyone
Wooooooow! Your cosplay is amazing! You make an awesome Sheryl @u@ I see awesome Aurora and Ariel cosplay, too. And something I just noticed, Fancy India’s boyfriend also makes a good Phoenix Wright ^^
Kanons last blog post..N.A.P. – Alice
Oh oops I forgot to mention, I hope you don’t mind I put your button/link on my blog ^^
Kanons last blog post..N.A.P. – Alice
oh and yes i’ll add you to mine as well!
you know he would make a good pheonix right! i’ll have to let him know!
I could never do cosplay, far too ugly.
Also your friend there looks like he could pull off a nice Phoenix Wright.
you know i bet he’d like to do that too, really gonna have to let him know
The Nagi costume and the steampunk costumes are awesome. <3 You look super cute in your costume as well. :3
Ambergurs last blog post..The Twins and Yotsuba&!
that girl’s nagi was so well done and so awesomely detailed! i also loved the impurities she had as well!
omg! I remember you! 😀 You were the other awesome Sheryl~~~ :DDD
Thanks for the picture~ It would have been awesome if we would have taken some more pics~ ^^
We totally should have! you seemed like you were in a hurry so I didn’t want to bug you for more
These shots went up pretty fast! Thanks for getting my attention and taking photos, they came out nicely. Anti-Spiral is pretty fun to wear, all I’d need is a Messenger Nia cosplay partner to match and give people a better idea of what I’m supposed to be.
What other events are you planning to attend this year?
if i had the courage to wear that skin tight suit i’d go as anti spiral nia! i like Yoko as well but too many people cosplay as her and i love Yoko too much to ruin it myself 🙁
i always attend AX and this was my first time attending a cosplay gathering that wasn’t at a con, i’ll be sure to go to more things like this in the future for sure!
Very nice. And you looked hot! (Not in the temperature way, the sexy way.) The last cosplay-type event I got to see was the costume contest at GenCon last year. Sadly, Michigan has little to nothing in the way of events.
well thanks! i’m so glad i live in an area that has anime retlated stuff like this! i’ll be sure to go to more of these and get some coverage of them as well!
For some unexplainable reasons, that Loren guy annoys me.
Kairu Ishimarus last blog post..Everything’s Eventual by Stephen King
That is a little weird but sometimes people just run as the wrong way
you looks hotter than usually in that Sheryl cosplay. So-Cal’s anime community seems so cool
Otaku Dans last blog post..Maid Gallery
i’m not sure if that’s a backhanded compliment or not but thanks i guess ^^
what I meant was that I already think you’re hot
Otaku Dans last blog post..My Otaku Room – 1 Year Later
Ohhhhhh hehe well thankies!
OBJECTION!
overruled
Such pretty costumes! The Gurren Lagann flag blowing in the wind is just epic.
Coco the Beans last blog post..Genzu.net (my OCs are a wacky bunch)
which is why i wanted to take it for myself!
I like that Nagi cosplay a lot. Never dressed up as an anime character myself, I prob would if I had a group of friends into anime and cosplay though. Not because I need others dressed up around me but because it’s probably just a lot more fun if it’s a group thing.
lovelyduckies last blog post..Cynical Orange Review (Manhwa)
it is much funner when it’s a group thing!
Hi there, chiming in late! I was the Nagi. 😀
When you gave me your card, I slipped it in my pocket for later but oh my God, if I had only turned the card over and saw your website URL, I would have told you I knew your site! (AAHH!) Your pictures came out amazing, holy cow! I’ve been cosplaying for less than a year now so I still feel awkward when I pose but wow, your pictures! I was very happy that you and a good number of people at the picnic knew who Nagi was. (And the impurity!) I’ll be bringing Nagi to AX (not sure which day yet) so if I bump into you again, I’d love to give you my thanks in person. ^_^
well next time then! well keep checking the back on the site we are planning to announce when our next panel is gonna be (yes we have a panel for AX!) just have to get the date and time from AX and then you can see me there!
