FemalePersonal Bio
I'm currently in the early stages of self employment, working on my Eco Fashion label Extravagant Underground. We produce corsetry and headwear from reclaimed materials, organic fabrics and other post consumer items. We specialise in occassion wear and are developing a range of bridal and burlesque clothing.
I love being creative and making new things, I'm addicted to dying and cutting my hair and have a rather ecclectic style of dressing. I often get asked who I'm cosplaying when I'm in my normal clothes...
Cosplay Bio
I've been making my own clothing since 2001, but I first started customising my own clothing and making my own jewellery when I was about 10. The first anime cosplay costume I made was Witch Hunter Robin, as I was really excited to see a character with similar hair and glasses to me and felt I just had to do it!
I really enjoy making accurate costumes with a lot of technical work in them. I'm growing more interested in original costumes and historical based designs of late, as I can more easily encorporate corsetry which I so enjoy making. I think my proudest moment for cosplaying was my Rita Skeeter costume, as it was the first costume I'd made where I really got into character for, something I'd like to work more on in the future.

Reviving a dead journal
Wed, 02 Jan 2008 01:52:53 GMT
So I got bored and decided to revive my journal, it's been such a long time since I wrote this kinda thing, I think I need to get back into being sociable and maybe if I start writting regularly I might check up on other journals more often or something... ^^
So it's like 2008!!! Woo!!! This is good^^ I rang the new year in in mucho style, half comatose laying around the flat with Momo too lazy to go outside ^^;;; We're still recovering from the awesomeness that was Jrock Invasion. Ange wrote up a like 26 page report, which if I'm bored enough I may type up. Seeing Kagrra live was amazing. Far more in fact than seeing any other band before. I feel pulled back into the whole scene now, and I'm even more determined to get off my arse and learn Japanese. It would really help!!! But first things first, I've a business to run^^;;; 2008 is officially the year I declare myself 'self-employed' how scary is that? But rather awesome really. It's gonna be a big deal moving from this perma 'we're going to be doing this' to actually doing it. But eh ^^;;;;
So yeah, I might actually become social again online! Instead of my usual skulking around. I really should like get out more. It's weird moving from Uni where you have interesting people just handed to you, to living in a totally random city where you know nobody (and are too broke to go out anywhere to meet people >.< FAIL!) But yesh I shall work on this ^^;;;;;
Anyways, as it's now nearly 2am I may save writting more for a time of greater coherenece. ^^
