Hey! I know I've been mysteriously absent lately (or maybe just absent, but I like to assume mystery). One of the big reasons is that I was hard at work on a new cosplay! And procrastinator that I am, a lot of it still needed done at the last minute. In fact, I only have progress shots of my stuff because Justin's costume was done almost entirely the night before the convention. o_O
If you were at
Origins Game Fair on Saturday in Columbus and saw some Mortal Kombat types roaming around, that was us. I was Mileena, Justin was Reptile, and his friend Mackenzie was Frost. We got asked for pictures about every 15 minutes once we were inside the convention, and even afterwards when we went down to Dirty Franks and 16-Bit. So, without further ado, a photo dump!

| First time buying real fabric! Satin is kind of a jerk, FYI. |
 |
| Made my top with help from my mom and her sewing machine. |
 |
| Mask turned out pretty well after re-pinning a hundred times. |
 |
| Modded a pair of Ninja Turtle sai with a hacksaw and duct tape. |
 |
| Add a wig and makeup and BAM! Ninja. |
 |
| Ninjas that are ninja friends! |
 |
| Playing a game of giant Settlers of Catan at Origins. |
We had a blast! It was Mackenzie's first time cosplaying, so it was extra great that people kept stopping us for pictures and whatnot. And I also decided that I only want to cosplay masked and/or angry characters now because it was SO awesome to not feel obligated to smile for pictures. I hope you enjoyed the photo dump and thanks for stopping by!
