It's been sooort of a busy weekend.

Friday I went cosplay shopping with my chums. I woke up at 9 am, left at 9:30ish? And got home around 9 pm. So tired that night @_@
First we stopped by the dollar store, got some flip-flops for my (terrifying) drag performance that's coming up. Also got some rolls of foam. They're 30cm x 186cm (or something close to that). Anyway, LOTS of foam! Then we popped by the pet store to see the kitties. There was one named Katniss! and I tried to find a collar for my kitty but couldn't decide.
Then to the party store, which didn't have any bowties or frogs for my frog bag. It's so weird because usually they have sooo much stuff.
After that, we went to Fabricland and I bought some crinoline, yellow dye and dye remover. Later on I decided not to use the dye remover, loool. We went to the Goodwill store and I didn't find anything but some of the others did. My friend Mel ended up buying back a pair of pants she had donated...lol!
We ate some food, then went downtown so Luke could get some concert tickets. Went to Out of the Past (sort of vintage/punk store), and I found a bowtie just like what I need for my costume. Mel and my brother were ogling some goggles, but only Mel bought some. I also checked out their tights and tried to decide what to wear for Atomic Lollipop.
From there, we took the bus up to Queen of Hearts costumes because Mel needed to buy a wig for her Flareon costume. The people there are so nice, and we chatted with the lady who runs it. Showed her pictures of our Anime North costumes from last year, and she was very enthused. Then she showed us the new wig supplier they're planning to get, and all the pretty colours their wigs come in *swoon*
From there we walked to the University, and then to the craft store. I bought two bags of stuffing, for my tail.
THEN we bussed back downtown and went to Len's Mills, where I got some more yellow dye, a clip for my tail, some belts to attach tails to, and some other small things.
After I got home, me and my sister went to see The Hunger Games movie. I'm not sure I like how they handled it. It wasn't a bad movie, but I think they made some severe mistakes.

Saturday morning-ish I stuffed my tail. I only needed half a bag of stuffing! So crazy >_< and I attached it to the belt, and sewed the clip on so I can clip it up off the ground.
Then in the afternoon my Baguette came over and we worked on her cosplay stuff. Made her a longer tail for her Kitty Softpaws costume, and then created an entire shirt for her to wear at the AN rave and to Apop. It was made from all these bits and pieces of fabric, but it came together better than I thought it would. A lot of pinning it while it was on her actual body, lol!
That was sooo much work, so after she left I was mostly just lazy.

Today I was also pretty lazy...didn't do much, played the sims mostly. But I've been getting a little more active on Deviantart again, since my Baguette made an account. So I put up some pictures.

This week I've got a lot of cosplay stuff to do, as well as aforementioned terrifying drag show. I also need to call the university and inquire about what courses they offer, which is also going to be fairly frightening.
