Happy Chinese Valentine's

Happy Chinese Valentine's day~ My busy schedule has caused me to miss any activities for the conventional 14th February Saint Valentine's day. How I wished I had time like in previous years to do a shoot or a live chat. To be precise, I was on a flight on the 14th of February and was busy packing prior to that.

Nevertheless, every few hours or so, I kept thinking about updating my site with a valentine's day message and at last, it seems that I managed to put up a short post here. I actually haven't realised that its the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, which is celebrated by the chinese in a way like valentine's day. It is known as 元宵节 which is spelt as "Yuan Xiao Jie", to pronounce it, it is closer to the english phonics "Yu-en See-ao Jee-ye". It marks the end of the Lunar New Year.

Hehe, enough of the introducing the chinese festive. I wonder if your culture has a Saint Valentine's day equivalent and if so will you like to share what it is and when? Obviously if you only celebrate the 14th Feb one, thats needs no introduction. Actually, did you know that 14th February is also known as the International Friendship day? I wish everyone a Happy Valentine's day as well as a Happy Friendship day.

Aira black casual part 2

Those bosoms are dying for attention, don't you wish to touch them >_< The last update's posts took up the entire blog page~ that's a first. On to today's post. Got more of Aira's pictures ready a few days ago so I thought I'll post them up today. Some of the shots here are of her without the black mini jacket on. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking these pictures~^_^ It is nearly the lunar new year and if you have friends or if you yourself is Chinese in upbringing, it will most likely be a week of visiting and family reunions for you. The first day of the lunar new year falls on this Thursday. What plans do you have for this day? I'll be unavailable until the third week of February for working on and arranging new mask commissions and suit orders. Buyers who have contacted me have their emails stored and I'll get back to you once I return. Might not be able to finalize any orders before March. Is there an event which you wish to attend anytime soon? Please keep me informed. It will take about 8 to 12 weeks to make new masks and order new suits, so do finalise your order as early as conditions permit. Well, back to packing up my room. I like to see my room neat and tidy in the turn of the new year. Hows does your room look like, are you the tidy sort or you don't see the difference between a mortar shelled house and your cosy abode~^_^;

Enter the Decade~

The title of this post is a a borrowed phrase, not sure if anyone recognised it straight away. It is the title of one of the opening themes of Kamen Rider Decade, probably my favourite of all the Kamen Rider series, it reminds me of Megaman(Rockman) also my all time fav.

Is is really here, February of 2011, well looks like it is, and just like last week that we had the new year fireworks. It has been five years since Yu first appeared, a total of 10 years if including when I first encountered kigurumi in 2000 and started plans to make a mask.


100 shots of history.
I decided to be nostalgic and write up a summary of what happened that brought about Kigurumi Cosplay Society today since even before my first kigurumi mask appeared. It all began about 10 years ago. I'm not trying to write a grand father's bedtime story, I think it might be more interesting than you think, so why not give it a read. I have included a centennial number of images thus the 100 shots.

Aira black casual part 1

So far the break has been quite relaxing, gotten some time to work on some posts which I've been wanting to post. Here are some pictures of the photoshoot I did of Aira in black shiny casual wear. Aira did a live chat in the same attire about a month ago but without the black skirt and the black jacket.

There are altogether 4 garments on her in this shoot even though it is hard to notice the skirt. She has a tight fitting black long sleeved spandex dress and shiny tight leggings that slack off near the foot. A mini skirt goes over the leggings at the hip and a mini black hooded jacket goes around her back.

There are a large number of pictures taken and I've prepared a few pictures this time and will put up shots of her in this attire over a few posts. There's a live chat recording done as well, hopefully I will have time to go through them all and put it up soon.

Went out to buy a new laptop for someone I know today. Phew the selections for cheap computers are so huge, I always enjoy looking at whats the latest new power house machine today. In the end bought a pink and white laptop that is going for a discount as hardly anyone buys pink machines apart from ladies. Though pink, its packed with 4GB ram and an i5 processor and 500GB of HDD space and Radeon dedicated graphics. Its more impressive when its only sold for US700. Not to mention the package which came with it included headphones, keyboard protector, a mouse, laptop bag, laptop pouch even a base cooling fan. Looks like tech is getting cheaper and more powerful by the day hehe~

Leave a few comments to tell me what you think of the costumes or the post. Keep a lookout for more updates~^_^

A blue streak at a glance

In the previous post, I mentioned that I took a few pics of Aira before swapping her wig with Asuka's. Wanted to share a pic of the costume she wore during the shoot before she left. hardly had that many pics of Aira now that I think of it.

This is her in sort of clubbing wear and partly casual, don't know which, let me know if you do. Wearing slack mock latex leggings, a metallic black long sleeve top and miniskirt. She has a black padded jacket around the shoulders. Wanted to go for the complete black and shiny look.

And there's another set of attire that probably will take some time to be re-worn again considering the large number of other clothes she has to try on. Hmm tell me would it be feasible if I sell the clothes worn about once and get the money to buy new ones? For shoots primarily. Would you buy that? I'll keep the updates coming. Just a sneak peak of whats in store below.
