Tokyo in Tulsa is already over!! It was so much fun! Another great year at our favorite con! We are already preparing for our next con (Glitch con) which is next weekend! No rest for the wicked, right?
I didn't have time to write a huge blog entry so I'll just do a quick(ish) recap of our amazing weekend. We will be posting progress photos of our WoW and Panty & Stocking groups, as well as info on how we constructed them, after Glitch con. Until then, here's our weekend recap:
Thursday night was our Waltz in Wonderland. Our cast members spent ALL DAY with us. They helped us decorate and set up for the night, danced their butts off, then helped us tear everything down at the end of the night. It was a lot of hard work but totally worth it! Everywhere we looked we saw smiling faces and tons of people came up to us and told us how much they loved it. It was a really rewarding experience and we are so happy to hear that so many enjoyed it! A big thank you to all of our guests who showed up and danced with us! You guys were so much fun!! We were shocked at how quickly everyone was willing to get up and dance and interact.

Our Wonderland Cast: Red Prince, Cheshire Cat, Red Queen, White Queen, White Knight, Alice, Dormouse (Mally), Hatter, and March Hare
THESE GUYS. There aren't even words for how proud they made us! They were so lovable and entertaining. We truly owe this event to our cast members. We couldn't have asked for a better group. We would love to work with each and every one of you at future events.
Thank you Tokyo in Tulsa for giving us this opportunity, and we hope to be back next year to put on an even better Ball!!

Friday we were Panty, Stocking, and Brief. We really enjoyed these costumes, but Demi and I had wig troubles. We will definitely be conditioning and re styling them before Glitch Con. These were super comfy to wear, except for the shoes. Ughhh the shoes hurt!! Next time we'll just make Shaun carry us around or something, yeah?
Friday was also our Prop Making 101 panel. We had a nice turnout and lots of questions which was exactly what we had hoped for! We will be changing a few things for next time, but overall really enjoyed doing this panel! We will be doing another one at Glitch Con next weekend!
Saturday was the debut of our World of Warcraft group!!! We have a few changes we plan to make to these, but we had so much fun in them! They weren't the easiest costumes to move around in. Luckily for us we had two AWESOME handlers (Ashly and Keegan) with us that kept us alive and, when necessary, fed us. It was a very exhausting but amazing day. We really appreciate all the cosplay love shown towards these costumes!
We entered the cosplay competition and are very honored to say we won 2nd place overall!! It was such an honor to stand on stage alongside so many talented costumers. We met some awesome people backstage and had a blast talking to them before the competition.

It's pretty impossible to look happy in blue.

Sunday Demi and I decided to relax and just throw together some "Bounty Hunter/Steampunkish" gear. The guy in the middle is Demi's boyfrann Keegan. Shaun decided not to dress up and was promptly eaten by a bear....because that's what happens when you wear normal clothes at a con... We were so sad to leave! We hope to see all of you amazing people at Glitchcon and Izumicon! Thanks for another awesome Tokyo in Tulsa, and as always THANKS FOR READING <3
