wrapping up #fanime2011 and segueing right into #ala2012 because I didn’t do a whole lot of #durarara cosplay and didn’t really feel super invested in the series. i actually didn’t even want to cosplay mikado but unfortunately i didn’t know how to say no or something. i did enjoy cosplaying Namie though. and even if these costumes aren’t my faves or anything it’s still a part of my cosplay history—the jacket for mikado was one of the first few things i made myself! i started making my own costumes in between these two cons, so the journey from buying my costumes to making them also started between here! this ALA was a continuation of Fanime in some ways and so emotionally i’m not fond of it but costume-wise it was a pretty great point for me because i debuted two costumes i made completely from scratch (which i’ll be posting next). #animelosangeles #fanime
