Live Wear Yu Website version 4

A large number of small updates accumulated makes a Major update~^_^ Well, since there has been a fairly significant change in design and functionality, I think this would be the 4th version of my website~^_^
As of now hehe... Live Wear Yu Kigurumi Cosplay Society Version 4 is fully operational and ready~^_^ I sincerely thank everyone for their patienced throughout the renovations on the site, I hope that visitors will find the new layout a little more convenient for navigating around the site and also help me put forward more content for your viewing pleasure~<3

Not to forget, I'll like to apologise for all the inconsistencies and downtimes which caused any inconvenience to you. Thanks again for your patience and I appreciate your continuous support~<3

Hehe, its kinda embarassing... I've also thought up a motto for my website. >_^ It is "Kigurumi for everyone else~" What it signifies is that, there are already a large pool of kigurumi cosplayers, kigurumi information and kigurumi merchandise in the non english speaking world. With so many english speaking kigurumi cosplayers around, it was rather difficult for a long time to get access to this hobby and its information. So for all dearest english speaking friends out there, I hope to offer the same quality merchandise and community no lesser than the best. May you enjoy what I've tried to put up and let us all have fun together~^_^

All the forum features and bugs has been fixed, so feel free to browse around and use the services provided in the forums. The new layout is designed to allow viewers to access all the available portions of the website at a click on the mouse. All the content from before is now placed under one roof hehe~
If you spot any problems, be sure to notify me here~^_^

I will continue to improve the browsing experience and add more feature but at a slower pace, there are improvements to the links page in the planning for now. Thank you for your visit and I hope that this can be a motivation to make kigurumi cosplay loved by as many people as possible~^_^

Also, did a small cosplay shoot today, which happened to commemorate this day. Meet Meer Campbell in her pink casual wear~^_^ Its a tiny pink tank top and tubde skirt laced with black ribbons. The inner wear is a full body lined style bodysuit hehe... Say hello to Meer Meer~^_^

Semi-Major renovating of the forums~^_^

Spent a couple of hours or more renovating and upgrading the forum features today. Added a new forum under the general catagory called "Kigurumi Chatter"~^_^ There are many times when I just want to gossip or talk about new websites (kigurumi or non kigurumi related) but find it hard to find a reason or a place to bring up the topics. Since there are so many new kigurumi websites popping up over time, I thought that there are many nice comments, thoughts and hehe... gossip we can talk about in the new topic~^_^ (I hope that me called the new forum a topic, forum and category didn't confuse anyone, nvm you didn't noticed it hehe.... anyway, you know what I'm referring to~^^)

Also, added permissions for some of the categories which requires member login in order to view. It is about time lurkers give a little response when viewing categories like my elaborate mask making techniques that I shared unconditionally~^_^ Was also considering making the "Showcase your pictures" category a login required section. Then I thought since the images are showcased there by members, it would mean they want it to be seen right? So I didn't change the permissions in the end. What do you think? Hmm I really should start thinking about how I can allow users to give an answer to questions like the one I just asked.

Okie anyway~
All the Sailor Mars cosplay by T-fa images are ready, thank you T-fa for modelling in the outfit for us~^_^ Hmm I should really find a way to facilitate users to leave comments in such situations...>_<; Oh well, means more work for the webby for later~^_^ Below should be all the remaining pics I want to put up on Sailor Mars T-fa. No videos. Enjoy everyone~^_^

T-fa cosplays Sailormars~^_^

At last, got all the C.C. pictures I wanted to put up sorted out. They are all from the same set of images, I haven't got time to improve the look for another shoot. Hehe... but eventually I hope I will~

Took a little shoot today, T-fa has black hair so I thought about who else I can cosplay using T-fa and I recalled that I have the Sailor Mars costume. T-fa make a better Sailor Mars than Yu in terms of alikeness I feel~^_^
T-fa has long straight black hair reaching her waist which is exactly the same as Sailor Mar's. Yu's hair is shorter, a little brown and curled, though her Sailor Mar cosplay was still good looking~^_^

Good thing that the masks I make has removable hair. Otherwise The tiara cannot be put on. The hair was in the way of the tiara at first which has to be slipped under the hair and attached to the top. Conventionally, it will poke through the hair if you just try to put it between the hair. I lifted the wig and placed it inside instead~^_^

More T-fa as Sailor Mars pictures are on the way.... >_< busy preparing them and trying to sleep early... phew~
Hope you like the pictures~<3

New video added, Yu in black bunny suit

Wow... This video was taken during easter. Time sure flies real quick. I'm actually wondering how come I've placed an image as the link to the video instead of embedding the video here right away... well, picture already made, might as well not waste it hehe ^_^.

The pictures of the black bunny girl outfit was posted a while back, just look at the drop down post menu on the right or scroll down to read the earlier posts if you want to see them. The video is only the moving version of those pics. Kinda running out of ideas to pose in on video hehe~>_<;

The costume is really cool in my opinion, always wanted to have a play boy style bunny suit and here it is. Might use it again with my other characters in the future. Don't forget to rate and give a comment if you like the video okie~^_^

Thanks everyone~... and enjoy~^_^

Tess mask refurbishing 90% completed

Hmm... found myself in the state that updates to my website becomes hindered by busy schedule once again. Did a little refurbishing on the Tess mask which belongs to Daza. Waiting for some parts of the varnishing to dry now.... will work on it and finish it tomorrow. Won't be expecting me to model in it... I'll probably pass out from ...fumes.

The picture on the left shows how its like now... I've mentioned a little but more but mainly posted pictures of some parts of the hair styling process.

I styled the hair in stages, first seperating parts of the hair and then fixing those parts, then styling another part then fixing those part. Tend to be easier I thought... anyone pro at styling hair can give advice~^^

Anyone watched Kurogane No Linebarrels? I feel that the Tess mask now resemble one of the characters from there... watch it to know who I mean. Its a nice anime btw~^_^
