Hello lovelies! So recently I realized something about myself that I was kind of denying for pretty much the entire time I have been into cosplay. I used to be vehemently against people doing purely sexy things with cosplay, then eventually accepting that that was what people wanted to do, and if I didn't like it, just don't look. Which honestly is the best way to go about things, don't like it you just don't look. Since I did the initial makeup test for Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel, something... sparked inside and made me realize something.

As usual over the years I always choose my top 3-5 costumes of the year. Each one is usually a favourite for whatever reason. That can vary from construction, how I feel in it, memories, etc. So I'll get right into this year's costumes, which are decently broad in character type.
This year was so much fun and definitely my most memorable to date! I am so excited for Otakuthon's 15th year next year! This year's edition ran August 16-18 and I did something new that I've never done at a con before: I WENT TO A CONCERT! And it wasn't just any concert! Ever heard of T.M. Revolution??? TMR / TNNK was at Otakuthon as a guest this year and they did a concert! Their first ever Canadian appearance! It was definitely worth the extra $30. It's almost insane how busy this year was! To start off with how busy my weekend was, I'll give you a very quick idea: 3 photoshoots (2 Saturday alone!), sign up for masquerade, running around Ottawa Friday, Fashion Show & Masquerade! I don't recall ever being this busy during GAnime, but it was well worth it and I thoroughly enjoyed my time this year - there were some hiccups and such, but that tends to come with the territory of conventions!
Last weekend was KupoCon Pom Saucer in Toronto. I was so excited earlier this year when I learned that they would be returning to Toronto, that I made sure that I would be going! I love Final Fantasy more than most any other video game franchise, so celebrating it with other fans feels so comfy!
In addition to having Final Fantasy fun though, I also did a typical Toronto tourist and went around the city with my friends, and the night before the convention we went to The Lockhart cocktail bar at Dufferin & Dundas. It's almost hard to believe that this year marked my 10th year of Otakuthon! It's pretty crazy! But I'm happy I went and I debuted three new costumes, and wore one I bought last year as a bonus cosplay - because one turned out hotter than I anticipated!
NOTE: I'm breaking down my convention blogs a bit differently starting now. So the blogs will go as listing what happened, with either a (+) or (-) beside them. Any highlights will be indicated at the end of each day! Photographer Credits in order:

I missed a couple days due to my life but I'd make up for it the next day with double shares! This blog post features every cosplayer that I shared this past month on my Facebook page, with the little write ups I did and links to their Facebooks!
I've heard it many, many times from my friends and random people I don't know that only cosplay girls that have smaller chests have problems cosplaying female characters. And that they have problems cosplaying male characters. But, girls who have a larger bust ALSO have problems with doing certain characters and costumes, each for individual reasons. And, I'm speaking from personal experience here.
