"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You"

-Dr. Seuss

These are the words that seem to be forever imprisoned within my mind :) Thank you, Master Seuss.

Just a few Detour moments.....oh, and a little princess ranting



I attended Anime Detour last month, finally fulfilling my dream of becoming Misty, even for just a weekend. Words cannot express the kind of joy that came over me as random people would come up and say "MISTY!" with a hug. I was no longer Charlie for those three days, but my heroine since childhood. Oh, a dream come true.

The wig was from a random seller on Ebay. It was absolutely perfect! I got tons of people asking if it was my real hair and if so how I got it that bright XD Absolutely awesome. The rest of the clothes were just from places like Target and Value Village, so it really was an easy costume to put together. Then of course there's my togepi and my signature Converse (who says I wear red ones just cause Misty does??)



                         





My goal for the weekend was to get a picture with an Ash (even if I did have to share him with a few other Mistys)

Team Kanto!

It was almost a must...... :)

I was lacking a Pokeball at this particular photoshoot, I think a fist works nicely instead :)

I think it's neccessary to mention that after being Misty, I simply can't get enough. I'll most likely go back as her in a future year to this convention, or just dress as her to school one day. Either way, I can now cross this off the list of things to do before I die :)

And just for fun, it was on the hotel wall :)

I know you're all wondering this, so I'll just come out and say it: yes, I DID watch the Royal Wedding at 6 AM yesterday :D Silly? Maybe. Am I a girl that classifies herself as a hopeless-romantic-dreamer? Yes. Do I like fashion? That should be obvious. So I really don't see any reason why I wouldn't WANT to watch the wedding, no matter how many people tell me that it was a waste of my time :)

I thought Kate Middleton(or Princess Catherine, as I now should say)'s dress was simple, yet so elegant! Perfect for this kind of event. It was very flattering but not in a sexy way, which is what I think is expected for the royals.

The best part of the wedding fashion? The hats!

I may not be British, but I can enjoy their fashions just as much as the royals do :) I guess that's all for now. Stay Sunny, World!

Busy Life=Abandoned Blog

Why does it seem like every post is an apology for never posting?! Ok, I'll make this one short and sweet, and just cut to the chase. Sorry. I don't know how I'll gather my dreamed loyal gathering of readers at this rate. Oh well. Live and learn, right? Well anyway, my musical just finished up and I don't know how to say it any other way than IT WAS ONE HELLUVA SHOW! It was Grease, so the bar was set pretty high. We completely pulled it off though! Aside from opening night, something went wrong with the cast each day we performed it. Our Danny lost his voice the second night, couldn't sing at all. Yup. No understudies either. Luckily, one of the other amazing T-Birds jumped in for him and performed his heart out. Couldn't have asked for a better group of actors to perform with. I and my onstage-boyfriend got to take second place at the "Hand Jive Dance Contest," which I daresay was the highlight of my individual performance. Anyway, the crowd loved it, it was a blast to put on, and it taught us how to navigate the sticky situations that stage theatre often presents. What more could we ask for in a show? I think all that's left to say now is: GREASE IS THE WORD!

Oh the fantastic fifties.

One of my many weeknesses.
