Vampire Princess Miyu, full of style and grace. And lacking shoes. |

Comments from the Pyxie:
It was my first
experience with creating a costume and I was really
happy with the turnout. Definately fell in love with
heat 'n bond. hehe And my hairstyle. Kawaii! *giggle*
Glad I didn't go buy a wig.
I was surprised when we got 1st place cause well..I
wasn't expecting it. But from what lots of people were
telling me, it may be due to the fact that I aimed for
costume to look "natural". The hair, the clothes,
ribbons. Amd I find it so much fun to try and pose
like the pictures you would find on Vampire Princess
Miyu. It helps with representing the character, ne?
My friend JJ who wore the Larva costume was having an
aweful time. I mean, his was made with stretch
velvet...yards of it! Poor guy was ready to faint from
the heat. But it was all worth it since we won. His
mask and gloves got the most attention. A friend of
his made his mask out of clay and molded it to look
like the real thing.
What was even more exciting was meeting Steve Bennett
from Ironcats Studios! They're the ones who publish
the Americn verison of VPM and he took pics of us and
traded email. Yehaawwww! I felt so special. hehe
Okies, other than that everything was a good
experience. Well...ummm...I _was_ ticked off that the
dance was over when we finished the masquerade. So not
fair! But I got to go to the dealers room finally AND
watch the OVA of Fushigi Yuugi!! I was in heaven.
