If a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s the month according to instagram
1. I celebrated my 7th wedding anniversary on August 2nd and this is the card I got. My husband wasn’t satisfied with one terrible goat pun so he made sure to include his own. See the post!
2. Anime Fest was August 12-15th this year and I packed that weekend full. I co-hosted 5 panels and participated in the cosplay contest. This was probably the busiest I’ve ever been at a con I wasn’t flat out working for…but I loved it! I kind of feel lost if I don’t have a job to do so while it was busy it was a great weekend.

3. 3 years ago I competed in the WCS US Gulf Qualifiers at San Japan. It might have been 3 years ago but that decision still guides my cosplay life today. I learned so much from participating in the WCS and I still cherish that performance. See the post!
4. I made it to my first Lolita meet up since…January I think. ? This one was a 21+ brunch meet and I was not going to miss a meet specifically for the older girls DARN IT! See the post!
5. One of my long time fandoms officially ended. The Bleach manga wrapped up in Weekly Shonen Jump in August. I had been reading Bleach for 10 years, the series itself had just turned 15. It’s been a series thats been with me about as long as I’ve been a fan of Anime and one that I’ve been cosplaying from about as long as I’ve been cosplaying. I tossed on my Orihime wig in a quick closet version of her final appearance. See the post!
6. After Anime Fest was over I had 2 and a half weeks to make a new costume for San Japan because I hate myself. I worked on a Pokemon Go female trainer for something comfortable to wear while judging contestants. This is a shot of my Jumper progress. See the post!
