Okay... this is probably the one of the FEW pictures I will post of myself in my new Kaoru kimono.



This is based off of the original artwork by Rurouni Kenshin's mangaka, Watsuki-san. It is a matching partner to my boyfriend, Tenshi Musouka's, artwork Kenshin cosplay.



It was worn at March TAC 2005. The kimono was 100% made by my boyfriend and I, and painted with soft fabric paints.



And all the photos came out HORRIBLY of it. Of me. So there you go, this one picture will be one of the only.



The makeup and bangs worked pure horror in all the photos. They were, without a word of a lie, the ugliest photos I saw of myself. Secondly, we didn't take any of ourselves (smart, I know) so I'm yet to find pictures to post anyway.



Expect better photos come Anime Expo.... At least I will avoid the makeup ><;

  • Jaina Solo Blargh--I can't believe it took me *this* long to comment on this picture. First off, I think the makeup--at least in this picture--is awesome. I like how it looks all soft and glowy-ish... You look freaking amazing. And no excuse is going to make me think otherwise. You look AWESOME. So there. Nya. 19 years ago
  • Eleryth I like the obi material. Very nice over all! Seeing your Kaoru's always makes me want to make one of my own. You've got a great duo cosplay thing going, and that makes it even better! 19 years ago
  • Tenshi Musouka great pic Kaliko ^^ Im glad you finaly managed to post one up! I love the lighting in this one (personaly I like the one where you are smiling best... thats just because you look twice as gorgeous when you smile ^^) I love the details in the flowers, especially in the lighting. and the obi came out so nicely for being such a rushed thing. I cant wait to take more pictures with you in it ^^ 19 years ago
