HI GUYS!! QUICK UPDATE AND HAPPY NEWS!!!
Me and manon-lightcrafts are the first Portuguese representatives for WCS 2014!!! I´m SO SO SO HAPPY, its like a dream come true!
This happened on 12 of October at Iberanime OPO (Porto) in the north of Portugal!

So, we started to work on our cosplay like one month before, we had almost all the materials and the sewing part was mostly quick to do, so i didnt stressed much, and because the rules just went online like 2months before...we had to delay the beginning. 
I had the Costumes and the Skit planned for about 2years, so i invited manon-lightcraftsexplain my idea and she agreed to do this with me!
The worst part was the props...really, im not good at that, so was really difficult...im not satisfied yet!

But it was amazing, i had a lot of fun making this costumes, i had many friends at my house just to see our stuff and help with something, like Miminhoo, he had to open an bottle of expansive foam with a nail XD i have videos of that! was funny
A dear friend of mine, Milton helped us with the choreography, he danced for many year, i have to thank you sooo much for that!

Just some Wips, if you want to see more check out our facebook pages ^-^



So me and manon-lightcrafts we live near the capital, we had to travel to the north of Portugal for this, we staid in a gorgeous hotel the same as, Iberanime Staff, APC and lovely Calssara (Cosplay Guest <3) and of course we had a lot of fun there...well we kinda know everybody XD
My Father was really kind and gave us a ride :3 the car was FULL!!! Thank you daddy!
I have a lot of videos i want to make a short documentary or something with that, we want to show the process of this 1º WCS experience

The experience was fantastic! everybody should try, but you have to stay strong, because you will have stress, sometimes things dont work....or just because you have afraid of the stage, let me tell you a secret, i never felt on stage....but this time...yap...happened to me, i just continued the skit and YOLO, its an Hobby but in this case you have to take it kinda serious, you want to show to the other countries that Portugal is good at this! And that we want WCS next year!!! Me and 
manon-lightcrafts we will try to do our best there, for you and for us, everybody should have the chance to go to Japan and represent our country!
We can not win, Portugal is just an observer country next year, but we will have a chance to go on stage and we will try our best!

We really want to thank you, for your support, every word, like, share, you are helping us!

♥♥HELLO GUYS!!♥♥

*cleaning the dust* So..i thing im have a English block, so it gonna be a really bad Journal XD sry!
So Its summer time, here in Portugal...we dont have many summer cons XDDD so spend my summer making shoots
I have a few new costumes...and im preparing costumes for the first Portuguese WCS, so happy!!!
And as u can see...i have again premium membership XD thank you!




♥FESTA DO JAPÃO♥

So at the beginning of the summer we always have a Japanese Festival made by the Japanese Embassy.
They try to bring a little bit of the traditional and pop japanese culture to this festival, i was the "host" in the cosplay show and it was a really fun day!
I smiled a lot in this day!!! I think it was because of my Kobato cosplay XD she really smiles a lot, i really love her (but i cry everytime i see the anime)


photo Untitled-1_zps9a7ce398.jpg



♥SHOOT - HAKUFU ♥

So i had this costume...since forever!!!! but i never did any photoshoot or stuff XD
In 2007/2008 i really into Ikkitousen (tenjou tenge too!) so i started this costume, but never did anything with it.
So when i went to that Japanese Festival i saw a big Thai temple, in the middle of a normal Portuguese garden XDDD so i decided to do the shoot a week after with some of my friends^^.

♥SHOOT - SAKURA-HIME ♥

This past week i went to Nazare, for my habitual vacation in a friend house, and last summer i show a beach with beautiful gold sand, and i really wanted to do a shoot there, so i did a Sakura costume (like...in 1/2 days XD) and i did there my photoshoot ^^
I really love the result, but i didnt had time to arrange the photos x.x sry!
I also did a video for a Con in Argentina with that costume^^
The costume isnt perfect, but i really loved the result.

photo Untitled-3_zps19af8f23.jpg





♥SHOOT - SHERYL NOME ♥

SO! MOAR SHERYL NOME XDD ....i really love her!!!
In the same day of my Sakura Hime shoot...i change costume (at the beach yes) and i stated shooting with my Sheryl Bikini, my friend Agata gave me a buoy that we painted and added some glitter ^__^
The sea in that beach is really bad,  (always angry XD) so i didnt went for a swim ;__;, its a beach just for surfers!!!
But i really love the photos, i dont have many confidence with my body, but i love how the photos came out ^^

photo Untitled-2_zps22a0fdea.jpg

I really have to thank to my photographer manon-lightcrafts for doing this 3 shoots...and a lot more will come XD

This is one of my "MOST DO" cosplays...i really didnt want to leave the cosplay world without making this costume, im grew up listening to Queen, because my father always putted the musics on the radio ... and queen is inside my skin now!
So i decided to do this one!

One of the biggest cons (or the biggest) in Portugal, this con is similar to the ones outside Portugal, like a mini/micro/nano Japan Expo
Its a big con with lots of things to see! I was there working for Cosplayer Ezine and for APC, i was invited to display my Dinah´s costume from ECG season 2 along with some awesome costumes!
