| For the Sunday of Kitacon in Kita's Got Talent with Sillabub as my "mother" Luna! We will be performing a duet :D We found a duet we decided to have a go at called "The Cat's Duet" which I have sung before, and chose Luna and Diana as fitting characters to sing as! It will also give me something fun to make gijinka wise! I'm planning on making a ballgown for her. EDIT: We won the Best Group award at Kita's Got Talent! I'm so chuffed as I've been entering the competition for a while, but we got a lot of positive reception from it and from others so it went down really well! :D As for future events we're reprising the act at MCM Comic Con, on the Saturday during the mini-masq :D EDITEDIT: We were awarded Best Performance at the mini masq at Comic Con! I'm super proud of my Luna and we had a ton of fun reprising the roles :D |

Wig and makeup test!
I finished up the wig and today managed to get the makeup sorted! I experimented a bit and it paid off :) I got some new naturalish false eyelashes which go well and I will probably try and wear a lot more XD Dem odangos! They are good unless you look up close and be like OHHH God nooo Just need to find some nice shoes and Diana is done yay

Wig WIP
I came across an issue when trying on the wig - I originally bought a character wig cheaply from Ebay for a character that has a similar hair style to what I wanted - but cheap wigs from Ebay doesn't mean the best! When I tried it on it is a very tight fit. I've managed to adjust it a bit making it less POUNDING ON MY HEAD but I will be using a ton of hair grips to keep it on my head XDD; It originally had pigtails, which I've cut off and will be using the loose fibres to shape round the heart shaped odangoes I made earlier from styrofoam - I'm currently in the process of that and it is frustrating as hell as loose fibres like to go everywhere sob RIP fingers Oh yes and I also curled two long bits at the front, I've taken them out of the curlers after leaving them in for a day (I blasted them with a hairdryer for about 2 minutes each beforehand) and they've come out wonderfully. And as you can see I used hairspray, my hairdryer and even my straighteners to create the iconic Sailor Moon bangs! It looks a little low on my wig head but bear in mind the wig head is smaller than mine (despite the fact my head is actually quite small hence this wig just managing to fit XD)

Moon details
After acquiring more trim I handsewn the trim to the moons' edges! I decided to handsew rather than machine sew as with everything sewn and heat n' bonded together it was awkward to maneuver through the machine, plus it was mostly SATIN which is HEAVY AND ANNOYING so handsewing was the best option :) it's soo prettyy

Dress 90% and collar
Here's the dress before I added more trim to the moons - I used a fantasy gown pattern and it turned out pretty cute! The armholes and neckline is elasticated and gathered which is nice and I love the organza I used, even if it was annoying to sew! Since taking the photos I cut down on the white bit at the bottom and hemmed it properly |D You can also see the collar I made - I went with the red velvet ribbon and sewn a cat bell onto it! It kinda makes a noise when I move so you can listen out for me XD

Crescent moons
I made up some moons! They're moulded in Polymorph and then painted gold and sealed with glitter and glitter nail varnish :) One will be on my forehead and the other will be attached to my bodice. I was originally going to have it on a choker but then I decided to go with the red ribbon and cat bell route XD
This is going to be so cute.
Adorable! Great work getting the heart shapes to the odango.
