A lot of time has passed with no to almost no updates. 
I had been afraid to attend cons. Nor did I enjoy them that much due to the fair of losing my hair again. But with my hair growing back, I slowly gathered the courage again to cosplay. And with F.A.C.T.S. being a blast, I can say that I'm back into cosplay!
I sadly have no videos from F.A.C.T.S. for the same reason as last time: the threat level is still on max. in my country and it seems very unhandy to carry around a camera that you can't put away.
So instead.. I enjoyed the day with friends. 

And still feeling the happy cosplay vibe I had after F.A.C.T.S. I got super excited to do closet cosplays for Halloween (you can find them on my Instagram: Cute_Weird_Cloud).
With the fun I had -on my own- I made this short video:


I hope to cosplay soon again! And hopefully even have some photoshoots. Maybe with :icontenshikisumi: of our Battle Bunny suits from F.A.CT.S.. But that idea is still open for debate.

- Fixing myself an Elsa wig
- Fnatic Janna Cosplay is still in the making by :iconrobinaa:.
:icontenshikisumi: is going to sew my shirt for Azusa (listen).
- Hoping to track down my lost Sailor Mars outfit.
- Selling my old blonde Terra wig.

No.. I'm not literally shooting a bald spot.
But just as the title suggest, "recently" I have encountered quite an issue. Remember F.A.C.T.S. spring edition? There was a day I attended as Elsa right? 
Well that's where it all went wrong. That evening a small red spot could be seen on my head, but I didn't think much of it, I mean it could've just be a line from my wig cap.
But it wasn't, a few days later, draft formed on my scalp. It annoyed me to an extend I started scratching it off and pulling it off, not the best idea I admit.
But sooner or later it was gone, but so was my hair. It shocked me so much I started crying, it happened a few weeks ago now (the 17th of April , I remember because my bf's birthday was the next day).
If anyone experienced this before tell me!
I really would love to know how to avoid this from happening again other than quitting with cosplay.


So the title also mentions the word "shoot". Yes you guessed it, I just returned from the previously mentioned Toradora shoot.
It was hilarious! :iconkurumimei:, Kara, our Ryuuji, our photographer and his wife and I had so much fun, and we even took a few cute Ryuuji/Taiga pictures. 
It's nice to feature Kara as our Minori in the regular school uniform cosplay as well (she was afraid to last time). So it felt like we finally covered everything up.
But I think this is enough Toradora shoots for now (our 2nd one this year). 
I also have another non cosplay shoot planned for this summer, I can't tell you how it will turn out but the idea sounds great!
I won't have a VLOG from this shoot because after what happened my mom pretty much hates cosplay (and she already hated it before) so I secretly went to :KurumiMei: and changed there.
In other words I had no room for my camera. But hopefully when I know the cause and when my hair grows back I can convince my mom to still cosplay time to time.
But for now, I'll just have to wait.

Time flew by as quickly as it could. 3 cons have passed (I think). I'm having a busy school life and still try to maintain social contact.
First things first: we (Kara, :iconkurumimei: and :iconcakez-chan:) agreed on doing another regular Toradora shoot with a friend of mine who would like to be our Ryuji.
So first of all I asked our friend photographer if he's agreeing to and hopefully I'll be able to show you the results.
I can't give you a specific date of when this is happening because it seems we're all quite the busy people. Kara's working full time, :iconkurumimei: is working super hard for her exams. And I have to complete multiple exams at once. 
Another thing that I have in my head is a Frozen Elsa/Jack Frost shoot with :iconmikage-sama:. But before doing so I would like to fix my wig (I still am trying to figure this out, Elsa wigs are trickier than expected).

And today.. actually yesterday, it's 12:30AM currently, I attended F.A.C.T.S. and Sunday I made the usual candy video but this time with :iconkurumimei:.
Here's the result:


On a side note: I don't think I mentioned this before, but I lost my Cosplay Facebook Acccount so I made myself a page instead. Some of you may have noticed it but I already updated that part in my profile.
See you soon!

Before I update this journal of mine I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Religious or not, I've always loved the decorations and atmosphere around Christmas, so you could really call me a Christmas person.

As you've probably seen the previous Toradora pictures with :iconkurumimei: have been uploaded and we (:iconkurumimei:, :icontenshikisumi: and :iconcakez-chan:) already have newer ones for this particular time of the year as well: Christmassss!
And since it had been awhile I had done a lenses review and since I received a birthday shout out request I decided to mix them all together along with the shoot and it resulted in this short little movie:
 
I wish the derpy after scene pictures were already out as well but I guess not. So we'll have to do it with this for now :).

Ps. I didn't attend the Halloween meet because well.. honestly I don't quite remember why I didn't. I guess I just didn't have a Cosplay and was in a dip so I didn't feel like attending it. But hopefully I'll attend it next year.

I also attended a Cosplay Ice Skating meet (with :icondownfall-cosplay:, :iconnahifox:, :iconyothari: and others) a week before Christmas and a Christmas Dish Party (with :iconrobinaa: and others). I would've uploaded some Cosplay pictures of the Ice Skating meet but since my friends (:iconyothari:, :iconnahifox: and others) got lost we arrived so late we missed most of the pictures.

And for the upcoming days I'm still packed with meet ups with friends so it's quite the fun vacation I must say.
Tell me how was yours?

Finally good news, I was able to upload it (not with the songs I originally had in mind). But at least it's online.
So here it is: 
By now our page has 250 likes, so I'm pretty glad with the rising likes. Don't forget to check it out and possibly leave a like (if you want ofc!).

As for today :iconkurumimei: and I did a Toradora photo shoot, I'm so looking forward to result (and hopefully you too).
Other than that I've been wondering what to wear for a photo shoot meet in two weeks.
Since it's for Halloween I've been thinking of cosplaying Zoey of Left 4 Dead, though with the date nearing it probably won't be too accurate. 
And if I shouldn't do Zoey, what kind of make up could I try out? And with what should I combine it? So many questions, so little time!
