Hey everyone! It's pretty difficult to keep up with some many sites where you can socially share artwork and the creative things you do. Maybe my problem is that I do too many things!

Guess what I also do? Video editing!

Here's a (very short) cosplay documentary video I filmed and edited for my production class in university



Then there is also this Florida Supercon video in which Junicorn77 and myself were interviewed in our Muchi Muchi Pork costumes.



AAAANNNNND This much longer, but nicely produced cosplay documentary, also filmed at the same Supercon event. Featuring MORE interviewing and antics from me and :iconjunicorn77:.



ENJOYYYY. And specially enjoy my funky accent.

I am in Japan!

3 min read


Firstly, I would like to thank everyone that sent me a birthday message, specially on my page here. This is the year that I've received the most messages on my wall! Thank you, everyone! I had a very nice birthday making my dream come true...

If you've noticed that I haven't been posting or responding to messages lately, it's because I'm taking an extended vacation in Japan! (I left exactly on my birthday).

If you want to read about my adventures so far, I made a proper post in my blog, check it out!

Blog Post: Romy's First Week in Japan!



That is all I have to report for now! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Midnight Sandwich!


Since I'm officially back in the cosplay "scene" it appears the world is smiling on me and new exciting things keep happening! The other week I went to a local cosplay event called Midnight Sandwich and met with some friends and artists. It was a chill time ^_^ I would like for more events like this to happen to get those creative networks flowing.

Please, Teacher! Cosplay


Like I mentionead previously, I was toying with the idea of doing a Mizuho Kazami cosplay for Animazement. Well, I actually went ahead and did it... There's still some details that have to be worked out so it can be perfect, but it's coming along ^_^

AKB0048 Cosplay!


My second (or actually first) really big cosplay project for this event is Mimori Kishida from AKB0048, this cosplay has been testing my patience and skills on soooo many levels, but I really love the character, the show, the songs, I've been wanting to do an idol cosplay for so long! I will see it through no matter what!

That's all I have to report/update with you guys! I'm already scrambling to figure out what my plans for SuperCon will be... there's only going to be one month to get ready for that!

(copy pasta from my blog)


Wow! It’s really been such a long time! I haven’t had the chance to properly announce myself as returning to the “scene,” and at this point it’s not even completely certain, but one very life changing thing has happened: I’ve graduated college!

In December (of last year) I finally completed my undergrad education and got my bachelor’s in Communications. During my last two years of college I really had to drop everything else going on around me to focus all my time and energy into doing things right. During my first couple of years, I used to go to school part time so I could also work, and because of that it was starting to take a veeerryyy long time to complete my degree. Thankfully, everything started going very well during my senior year; I collaborated on some academic research, did an awesome internship, and graduated with honors; all in all, it was well worth it!

Just recently, I started working with a marketing agency, fortunately my schedule is very flexible and my work is very interesting so I’m really happy at the time about how things have turned out because it means that eventually (sooner rather than later) I can start to cosplay again! :D

The main thing holding me back right now is that all my supplies are piled up in a huge mess in the garage… and I have to create a suitable work space that is not my house’s dining room. I’ve also been less motivated ever since Junicorn left to Japan. She’s been living there for almost 2 years now and I haven’t found another cosplay partner as enthusiastic or in tune with me as she was. Sometimes I try to prod Tewibewi into making a comeback with me, but just then adult life gets in our way and we shift our priorities.

I also have a difficult time deciding WHAT I should cosplay. There’s lots of things I want to do, there’s even a project I’m already 25% started on, others I’ve bought material for, and yet more that have recently caught my interesting.

Among that, it looks like the next sure thing for me will be Animazement… My friend Melvinopolis finished watching AKB0048 and got hooked on that idol cuteness. I've been wanting to do an idol group cosplay for a while, I love Jpop and idol culture. At first I thought AKB48 was too much too handle (so many girls!), but after watching the anime, I started getting hooked on the real thing and my fandom grew...

My usual gripe with idol groups is that everyone is so young, and cute, and leggy... (all attributes that are declining for me) but I think I've found a character that I can pull off well, and actually like: Mimori Kishida! She fills the sexy archetype in the series and is a little more voluptuous than the other girls.


Elsie & Mimori - my next cosplays?

The second character in my cosplay plans is Elsie from The World Only God Knows. She reminds me of Shinobu-chan in a lot of ways, and I love her ridiculously optimistic demeanor.

Oh yeah! My main reason to go to Animazement was to finally get to see KOTOKO perform, so maybe it's a good idea to do a Mizuho (Onegai Teacher) cosplay as well? hmm... what do y'all think!?

Taking a break


I've been meaning to make this "announcement" for quite a while now, especially now that MegaCon is approaching and I keep getting asked if I'll be going.

Since 2011, I had made the decision that I would not attend any more conventions for the rest of the year and possibly until 2013. The only convention I will likely attend in 2012 will be SuperCon, only because it's costs next to nothing for me to go to this event.

I will be attending university full time during this year, and since I'm not proficient at multitasking (or obsess too much about cosplay to allow time for anything else) I will simply take a step away from the scene until I take care of my goals. There's also the possibility I might be moving later on in the year and I should tidying up to prepare for that transition.

I still have one "big" cosplay project I've been working on and off to complete and may debut this year, but I'm in no rush.
Also, I gained a bunch of my weight back because I was sick for a couple of months; which makes me reluctant to show my (fat) face in public until I've worked myself back to shape.

Hopefully, this year I will go on a REAL vacation with my boyfriend instead of traveling to an event!



Una Pausa


Hace un tiempo ya que tenía la intención de hacer este "anuncio". Especialmente porque en unos cuantos días va a ser MegaCon y varias personas me han preguntado si voy a ir.

Desde ya el 2011 había decidido que no iba a atender ninguna convención mas por el resto del año, y posiblemente hasta el 2013. El único evente que posiblemente atenderé va a ser SuperCon, simplemente porque no me cuesta casi nada ir allí.

Durante este año estaré tomando clases en al universidad a tiempo completo, y ya que mi obsesión con el cosplay apenas me daba tiempo para hacer cualquier otra cosa que eso, lo mejor que puedo hacer es apartarme de este hobby hasta que haya realizado mis metas. También puede ser que me vaya a mudar este año y quisiera estar preparada para cuando suceda.

Todavía tenía un projecto por acabar, pero lo estoy haciendo poco a poco y ninguna presión por apurarme. Y para acabar, me puse un tanto gorda a final de año porque estuve enferma, y la verdad que no quiero salir en público  hasta que tenga mi figura decente otra vez.

Bueno, quizás ahora tenga el chance the tomar una vacación DE VERAS con mi novio, en vez de pasarmela de evento a evento!
