Right, so even though it's only November, I'm already so geared up for upcoming cons, it's not even funny. And as I'm juggling costume prep between two laptops and a cell phone, I decided to post up my progress and update costume choices here. For MomoCon 2011 (March 12-13), I'm going to be Izumi Curtis and Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist--in that order, due to needed prep for hairstyles. For MTAC 2011 (Easter weekend), I'm going to be Tifa from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children the first day, then Loly Aivirrne from Bleach the second, and Itachi Uchiha from Naruto the third. I'm also trying to revamp my Byakuya cosplay with a new haori and kenseiken, though that's a lower priority at the moment because I won't be wearing it until probably TAMEcon, which doesn't even have a date set yet.
