Maid Mania 「メイド・マニア」

wow~ would you not believe it? there seems to be a running streak of maid-themed cafes opening every month recently: september (Kirameki Cafe), november (Maid Cafe), december (Little Pantry), and soon-to-be january (Tenshi no Cafe).

did you notice anything different or new on the list? actually, there are two news i want to share with you: first is Tenshi no Cafe's opening date; second is this month's new maid-themed cafe called Little Pantry.

Comic Fiesta 2010

this year, CF was held in the Manhattan Ballroom (which is on the 14th floor) of Berjaya Times Square Hotel on 18-19 december. i went for both day1 and day2 and i return with photos - not too much, but a good number of them! XD

so allow me to separate my report into day1 and day2 here~

WARNING: image heavy! (well, that is unavoidable and almost predictable, isn't it?)

Ranmao dash to the lash!

okay, i know the title does not make sense now, but let me explain. this post is about the making of Ranmao's accessories and wig styling, and a piece of prop for the CF cosplay group competition tomorrow.. and to confess, today i skipped classes. (yeah, i did it for CF.) *slapped*

because the prettiest item is the photo of Ranmao's hairclip, i shall start with that. as you can see, i simply attached a blue 'tassel' piece to the flower hair clip. but truth is, i used one whole spool of blue thread to spin the tassel because i have no more money and time to spend on a ready-made tassel from a store (which  could probably be inaccurate to the colour or wrong shape that i want, and waste petrol and parking fee too).

Ranmao again? getting close!

so far, my progress looks to be delayed here and there (due to assignments fighting for my precious limited time), but i think my Ranmao costume will be completed before Comic Fiesta! my next update here is about the bell anklet which is worn on her legs.

i don't know if they are meant to be bell-look-alikes or real live ringing bells, but i decided to be cheeky and went with real bells. in fact, i got the bells in medium size (instead of small) because Daiso sells them on a handheld tambourine-thing. of course, as you can see, i have ripped all 10 pieces of bells from the toy/instrument, leaving a pink plastic thing.

cute usamimi 「かわいい・うさみみ」

today, i got my first usamimi~ i ordered it from Bodyline last week because it was recently restocked in black color (previously the black and pink were sold out, and i don't really want the blue one). it was so cute and i love it! in fact, i love it so much i am wearing it as i am blogging now.

i spared you from the exposure to a short camwhoring session after this jumpline, but if you wish to see more pictures, feel free to continue to the link below~

delicious omurice 「おいしい・オムライス」

こんにちは、ご主人様、お嬢様。

good afternoon, my master, and my lady.

お元気で すか？

how are you?

今日はオムライスを作りました。

today i made omurice.

食べたいですか？

would you like to eat?

お楽しみください。

i hope you will enjoy it.

ありがとうおはようございます！

thank you very much!

note: i was waiting for my phone to recharge after i made the omurice because there was no battery to use the phone camera. so the tomato sauce and chilli sauce started to bleed off the omelet by the time i was ready to take photos. sorry for the sloppy pictures!

Ranmao around Japan~

with less than 15days before Comic Fiesta 2010, it is time to install Ranmao's character in me. (okay, i just wanted to learn more of her poses.) hahaha~

so here is a small gallery of Ranmao cosplays from Curecos - starting with the cutest Ranmao~nyan!

Ranmao cosplay by RIMUTA

Ranmao WIP update

i added the yellow details (i know you cannot see the long slits in the middle of the yellow detail on the cuffs ;_;) on the sleeves and made the anklets. still have to find little bells to attach to the anklets, and get purple fabric dye to finish the dress design (or maybe i will cheat by sewing purple appliqué). XD

Ranmao & Lau WIP & my tailor

earlier this week i went to my tailor to collect the costumes for wgfai (who could not go) and mine too. misao went together with me since he had an assignment to do. ^__^

my tailor is located in a very hidden place in salak south (or salak selatan), borderline to sri petaling. i could not tell you where exactly she is since i only know the place by remembering the way there. but i do know she makes me really fitting costumes even if she is just a normal tailor (not a specialised fancy pansy costume maker).

Maid Melody 「メイド・メロディ」

i was driving home one day, and got stuck in a terribly congested highway (and to think i have to pay the toll to drive on the highway), and my mind wondered away to thoughts of maid and masters. so i came up with a song, inspired by maid cafes, entitled Maid Melody. i hope you enjoy it~!

dear master (lady), hear me now
i think of you all the time
welcome you with a bow
ready to serve any time.

i know you like hot tea
milky sweet and mildly warm
two cubes of sugar and
our secret wishing charm.

your favourite cake is here
a slice topped with a cherry
i draw a chocolate bear
and wish you will be happy.

dessert before main course
its our little secret
in my heart in silence
no space for any regrets.

oh, dear, look at the time
it is almost time to leave
don't be late; just on time
to meet your busy schedule.

the cleaning has been done
the mansion is so quiet
the maids all miss you dearly
so we await your return.
