The randomness of certainty?

It's begun to set in that when I finish school, I may be moving away, like possibly far away. The top 3 places for my carrer choice are Texas, California, and Iowa. While Iowa isn't that far from MI, the others are. A few years back I lived in NC for a year attending school, but lived with an Aunt and Uncle, so it wasn't too bad. I'm not going to have any support structure wherever I may end up and that's a bit sobering for me. It's going to be a bit rough, I fear, but I'll make it. I have to.

Cosplay is one of the coolest things about the anime culture. Cosplay, which means costume play, is where fans dress up like a favorite character. You can even buy costumes ready to wear, but most go through the trouble to make their own. I don't have a lot of interest in doing it myself, but I would love to do an accurate version of Al Alphonses' suit of armor. Mostly because I could use my metal fab skills. I'll be honest, I really like cosplay for the women. Most female characters are provocativly dressed, from tight tops to ridiculosly short skirts to gravity defying clothing. I found a bunch of images of a cosplayer as Francesca Luchinni from Strike Witches, who happens to one of my favorite characters. She did an awesome job with a quite simple costume.

Gotta love those blue stripes..... Look closely at that last one, do you see it?

And now the obligatory catgirl image. From the goddess herself, Tomoe Kamiya. I know I've said it before, but she really does the BEST catgirl work.

Ja mata!
