Remember Anime North 2009? Back in May?
So, about that blog post about Anime North 2009…
I attended the convention with xxStephy, dressed in cosplay as Mario and Luigi! We wanted to do a group badly, and ended up with a Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach cosplay group. The twist? We genderbent the characters, so we had female plumbers and a prince! It sounds so bizarre when written in text.
The Mario and Luigi costumes were both sewn by me, sans the hats. xxStephy bought the hats for us on ebay (oh, the wonders you can find on there). My favourite parts to make were the buttons! They were these fun metal contraptions that you covered with fabric and by pushing it through a small set of tubes, it became a button. FUN!
I acted as an assistant/gopher for xxStephy’s youtube video about AN. It has interviews with people we met at the con (some of them are real personalities). Nearly everything that could go wrong with our equipment did go wrong, but we kept our outlooks positive for the most part:
Of course, a convention blog post isn’t complete without posting a gallery of cosplayers and random shenanigans! I never feel like I take enough photos at these events.
I’ve tried to identify the series as best as I can, but I wasn’t certain about some. Please comment on the photo pages if you know a series or any information about the costume/cosplayers if you happen to know! Or correct me if I’m wrong! ^_~
