How is July almost over?

It seems like this month just blasted by! 
I've spent it doing leadership training, sewing, and doing plenty of Summer homework (Ew!) But I can't help but feel sad that the Summer days seem to just be slipping away.  It will be my Senior year at high school, and I've got to start planning for my future, which is frightening enough to think about, let alone do.  However, I do have a bit more time to enjoy the Summer, so I've been doing what I can!
This last week I spent a lot of my time working on sewing a cosplay dress.  This is one of three outfits that will be used in a CMV in the future.  While a lot of details for it need to be figured out still, I think It'll be a great video.  If you'd like to watch a video of me working on the dress, you can see it Here!
But thinking about it, if this month went by fast, the next will be even more so!  I'll be attending a music camp, and then working at a YMCA camp (Which I am super excited for!) Then swim season, school, and youth symphony will start up again, and I'll need to start applying to colleges.  Oh my gosh so much going on, so little time!
I hope you guys are having a great summer, and I'll hopefully hear from you soon!

Chinatown Seafair Parade 2014

Going on adventures with my friends is one of my favorite things, and today was a blast! 
Three members of Hey Say Cosplay traveled up to Seattle today to help represent Sakura con in the Chinatown Seafair parade! We went as Matryoshka Vocaloids, and had a fantastic time.

JemmaKuma and I

I always love visiting Seattle!  It's such a diverse city, and this was actually my first time in it's Chinatown!  We passed by a few stores that I'd really like to visit in the future (possible walk around with me/haul videos!) and it was so cool to drive through parts of the city I don't get to see when I go up for Sakura Con itself. Seeing all the other cosplayers was amazing too.  It's so great to know we are part of such a fantastic group of people.  I met an adorable Miku there too, who also makes YouTube videos! Her channel is JemmaKuma! She's totally a lot more popular then me, but makes adorable videos that you might just want to check out! (She also does modeling and wow she is cute!  I'm totally becoming a fangirl of her but she's awesome! 
I made a short video of the footage I took from the parade, which you can see here!

So as for the rest of this week, I'll be heading to the good ol' fabric store and start working on some new costume, which I will probably be vlogging about my progress.  Later this week, or early next, I should be getting my surprise BJD item I talked about in my last post, and will be making videos related to that.
See you then!

Return From The Outside World

Who is this mysterious person writing this blog post, who has been missing for two weeks?  
I'm back!
While my vacation was great, and I had a fantastic time at camp, I'm ready to get back to video making, cosplay creating, and sleeping in! (All very important things hahaha).  Hopefully I'll be posting plenty in the next two weeks to keep you entertained (Then it's off to another camp for me haha)
As far as video plans go, I have a few ideas in the works.  There will be a BJD video in the next month I'm very excited for making, but the main part of it isn't home yet so I can't exactly film it yet (and no I didn't buy a new doll), but it'll be very exciting once it does get here.  We also have some more cosplay videos slowly in the works, one of which I really need to start sewing for, so I need to hop skip jump my way to the fabric store sometime soon. 
Something that is also exciting in the cosplay spectrum is that part of Hey Say Cosplay will be a part of the annual Chinatown Seafair Parade, joining other cosplayers to represent Sakura-Con!  I will totally record footage there and put together a video of the fun!
Speaking of making videos, my fellow cosplayer, CosplayDiva58, has posted some super cute videos to her channel recently, including this one that I really like named Matsuri! She's hasn't used YouTube for long (Well, compared to an oldie like me) but I really want to share her videos and let other people enjoy them as much as I do!

In terms of things that are not videos, I have been super into a few different things this month, and seeing as I never get around to making monthly favorites videos, I figure that I might as well share them here!

Such a cutie!

First, Azone dolls. Man those things are cute!  If I can budget out getting one (along with buying cosplay supplies, school supplies, ect ect) I totally would love to own one.  They are simply adorable! I love the Witch dolls, especially the "Little Witch of the Water". The only real problem with them is their availability, but I'm sure I could find a way to get her. (Again, only if I budget it out though, seeing as I'm trying to save for a car now also!)
Second, the anime Sabagebu!  OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS.  I love this show so much so far, and only two episodes are out!  It's a combination of cute girls, guns, and slice of life.  It's basically everything you ever could have wanted in a show.  It doesn't take itself to seriously, and the characters are all really fun! I showed it to some of my other, anime enjoying, friends and they both liked it too!  It's even something I've been considering cosplaying! (It also includes a main character who may just be the best MC for the season, for real though she is great)

Best MC? Best MC

So thats all I have to share for now, I'll be posting more this week, and the footage from the parade should be up sometime next week. I'll try to prerecord some videos for the next camp I got to, but my life is always a bit of a mess so no promises.

Now I've got to get back to work cleaning!
See you around!

Cooking with Vocaloids

Oh my golly gosh gee, this is a project I have spent a long time working on, and I am so excited that it's finally done! If you guys haven't already see the video, check it out here!

This went better then I ever could of expected! Cooking with Vocaloids was an idea we had way back when we started making videos as a group, and I wrote the script more then a year ago. I always had this idea for a cute goofy cooking show with Vocaloids, and I'm happy to see it finally come to life.  Creating the little graphics and other things for this video was also super fun, and we all put a lot of hard work into it.  Creating, and especially editing, these videos is something I really enjoy doing, and I'm glad I've had the opportunity to.

whether or not we continue making these videos is up in the air, but I would really like to. Getting the group together to film is always such a blast, and I really enjoy their company. Filming with them is one of my favorite things to do ever basically. I just love making videos, and they have to put up with me all the time being a goof haha. But really, I had such a great time doing it!
 If you'd like to see more of our cosplay group, we have some other videos up on our channel, as well as a facebook page!
See you guys later!

BJD Addicts Challenge 4: Summer Outfit

Sewing doll clothes is amazingly hard.  Really it was horrible, I'd want to use the sewing machine, but the dress was just too small.  I've also remembered how bad I am at hand sewing, so some parts are totally worse then others.  But really, this was a lot of fun, and I think what I did come up with is really cute. 
You can see some nicer pictures of her outfit here
I really want to make another dress using the same pattern, but try making a sailor collar for it instead of the (Too small) rounded one. I know at one point the pattern was online, but I don't think I can find it anywhere anymore, which is really sad.  Thankfully I have a few of them printed off still right now, but I really want that sailor collar ahaha.
Well I hope you enjoyed the video (Its here if you haven't seen it) and I will see you guys again soon!

Daiso Haul and Life Update!

If there is anything I truly love in life, its Daiso.  Wow that sounded less depressing in my head, but really, Daiso is a wonderful store full of fantastic goodies.  While its typically referred to as a "Japanese dollar store" the quality of its products is worlds above any other dollar store I've ever visited. Not only are the products high quality, but are also really really cute.
So lets get on with the haul! (You can watch the video haul here!)
I actually bought a lot of cleaning supplies this time around, mostly because I was recently hired to do some weekly cleaning, and I wanted to buy my own supplies that I could easily carry through the house. (I also just wanted cute cleaning stuff not going to lie)

Adorable sponges

Notebook

I also picked up some stationary stuff and I'm really excited to use it.  The notebooks are really adorable and the letter sets from daiso are to die for!
Lastly I bought some hair accessorys to keep my hair up when it gets hot out!

Ahh so cute!

Overall I am super happy, as always, with everything I bought.  Daiso is always full of wonderful things, so if you can I would recommend checking it out!  Also, the best thing about it is that I spent less then 20$ on all of this!

So check out the video haul, and I'll see you guys again soon with a BJD video!
I've been trying to keep myself very busy this summer with different projects.  Hopefully you'll be able to hear more about some of them soon! I really want to do a lot of cosplay stuff this summer, and (If I can manage to plan it haha) our cosplay group will likely have another cosplay video up within the next month!  I hope you guys have a lot of fun plans with friends!

Cat admits his favorite color is pink.

I haven't forgotten my BJD!

Kid Delf Jamong

It's been a long time since I've done anything BJD related. I feel pretty bad about it, not going to lie, Delilah has been in her box the past few weeks due to me doing some spring cleaning. But I recently had some free time on my hands (I'd been up in Seattle the taking care of some family stuff which mostly consisted of me sitting alone in waiting rooms) and I decided to check back in on the ol' DoA forms. Woah it's been a while. But after remembering how to navigate them, I was reminded of how much I like my doll, and how much I would like to get another. I don't think I'll be able to anytime soon, but it's always fun to do a bit of window shopping. I would like to get another Kid Delf from Luts if I can, that would be Delilah's twin sister. Likely she would be a Kid Delf Jamong.

Gosh, the real problem with dolls is their price ahaha, espiclly now that I'm looking at universities, doing any big spending isn't really what I want to do right now. Even if I had time this summer to get a job, I would just want to save it for school. But one day, one day I will get another doll ahaha. For now I just bought a new pair of eyes for Deiliah from my friend Cazzie's eye store Eye Candy.

I hope you guys are having a great spring/summer brake for those of you that are off now. Today was my last day of junior year, and I'm happy to be free for the summer!

I'll try to make a video soon! So see you guys soon!
