Been busy lately so I'll just post this kimono I had for years 😅 It has some stains but this pencil sketch like image from Koto Yamaoka is so detailed!

Yay received another Guerlain perfume to test~ they are the best for sending the largest size out! 🥰 Bottle looks so pretty but I just don't have the space for so many glass bottles...

Gold pasties! 🤣 anyways not sure why the summon sequence made him...topless 😂

Harutoki finally going mobile 😅 I like the girl's outfit better than them guys 😆 she wears pants!

New cos calling me 😆 already have the bottom half in closet!

Took photos of some stuff that I need to purge. They just happen to make a good coord... 😅

I pour this over ice cream that tastes bland. Also used it to cook eggplant 😆

Paid more than twice as much as last month to ship my TB package this month 😟 This package has a wood prop so I guess its size is a factor.

Noah get! Now this is also a closet costume that I could make by altering my patterns for Amor. 😏👍 But what's up with the half translucent sleeves?! 🙄

Getting friendly with the oven to make some easy meals. Eggplants harvested from dad's garden baked with onion and cheese. Crispy skin chicken. No recipe needed~ 🤤

Sigh the online international buying freeze has started. If I can't buy what I want, I will never buy any secondary options in this place. 😤 But it's a good time to sell my collections~ 😅

Saw a hummingbird for the first time in our garden today. They make a pretty loud buzzing sound when flying 😅

Again I'm feeling thankful that I stocked up on kimono before the tariff disaster of this year. Also now there is a lot less kimono on YJA (likely due to the one major seller downsizing). Now to see if my TB deputy can survive this storm.

The duties already hitting hard 🥺

Was doing dishes when a mosquito bit me! I figured the culprit must be resting nearby so I found it. Killed it with my bare hand and it was indeed full of my blood 😑

So many quartz to roll for swimsuits 🤤 But 4* still harder to get than 5* ??? 🤨 I still want more Crane orz

Ahhhhh next season is here! 😆

Their new art book will be released this month!!! I've been buying their privately published books, not sure if those art will be included in this one mmmmm

Otakon's photo studios this year are amazing! With flattering lighting, even phone photos look professional~ 😆 Fate/Grand Order Amor (Karen) by me, shot with assistance by my friend

Otakon was tiring but less hot than last year. I mostly did panels and autographs. Cosplayed Kakuriyo with Akiko... shook Konishi-san's hand, he even said he likes my kimono! 😇 Cosplayed Nio to the Blue Miburo signing where I practiced my bare bones Japanese on these unsuspecting guests... 😅

Mark, pin, then iron all at once! 😆 this work is tiring but happy. I only hate sleeves so leaving them last 😑

Totally procrastinating on Amor because I'm only fueled by deadlines 😅 but I finally got to use the innovative rolled hem helper and loving it already 😭😭😭

Tis a good day to find out I don't have the navy colored hakama that I need anymore orz. There's also barely enough of the right colored fabric for Nio's haori orz

Woah even more movies?! I thought they said 4th one is the last~ They sure have a lot of budget for all the war scenes 😅

Finally got a Jusaburo Tsujimura piece that I could afford~ These peculiar images of long-ear bunny dolls have intrigued me for some time! 😅 although this piece is really small, I'm gonna have to widen it to wear.

I sold a piece of lolita clothing to someone online and it turned out they live 5min from me 🤣

Aaaaand power's gone again. 😒 it's forcing me to have a healthy sleeping schedule 😅

The only curious piece I have where the entire design is glued to the fabric in a dimensional paint-like effect 😅 silk feels like leather!

Just the usual front door visitor this time of the day

New outfit for Okita! Looks simple but comfy. I can make outa my fabric stash! 😇 Meanwhile, Karna's chic asthetic makes him look like a vtuber 😅

Aaaaand we just lost power due to the storm 😅

Finally finished editing Katsu photos. Of course can't wait to shoot more at Otakon (even with the unbearable heat and virus dangers 🥲)

No Eng blu-ray for Altair forced me to buy the Jp version 😅 glad to find a comp set within reasonable price range.

Finally... fun fun actual combat will be back! The temporary squads sure had plenty of time to bond and develop teamwork for this combat test.

Low-key obsessed with this tiny gold dots style vintage painting 😅 unfortunately there is an annoying stain on the collar. The hakkake has same type of gold dots, which is pretty awesome though.

Very short houmongi: not sure if choosing this stylish one over another that actually fits me was a good choice... so I will wear it fashionably

This show is so much better than I anticipated! Latest episode was just raw 😭😭😭

Last kimono loot for a while cuz the second hand market is drying up. 😒 This solid color and rather flat style of painting really called out to me. Good thing it looks barely used with no stains. 😇

Somebody's getting evicted from the basement! 😅 oh no he can be taken apart too 😂 (not my listing)

We had an open position with about 80 candidates. Narrowed down to 2 in-person interviews. The more qualified person kept on shooting themselves in the foot by talking about what they wanted instead of how they could best fit this position. I was like wow really?!

Cathedral shoot of Richard today! So many people taking casual photos around~ 😅 There was also a wedding so I picked up a white rose somebody threw away 😆

Package just passed customs so fast, looks like the queue is indeed short. 😅 This time I paid $28 to ship some clothes. Guess I can buy more costume supplies now thanks to this amazing shipper. 🥹

Only 2 sets left to edit from katsu!!! This golden hour shot was brought you by the fabulous cosplayer Teemo.

Checking the tracking on my UPS package and truck was moving in middle of the night! These workers have it tough. 😔

Today ended up unproductive but weirdly fun 😵‍💫

Edited a full sun middle of the day shot... turned out pretty fine I think! Cosplay by Mewy

My big TB package just took 3 weeks to clear customs 🥲 lets hope the small one makes it through 🙏🙏🙏

I'm just a sticker whore

At my local B&N waiting for my car inspection. Got a coffee sample~😇 Apparently, this book was released just yesterday! 😅

This weekend took pics of my houmongi pieces because some of them need to go~ found a small wound on this hakkake 😔 At least this piece didn't cost me a fortune. Anyways I did find out the artisan who painted this is Kakko Kinoshita.
