Hey friends! Been a while, hasn't it? Things have been....sort-of spiraling downhill, mentally at least. LOOK AT THE TIME! It's already New Year's and there's so much to update?! That's how life piles on you....not to mention a bit of con drama builds up on top of the stresses in life, aaaaand that's exactly what happened. It all started wit Anime LA 2016....but that's behind us. (Haven't gotten to revisit that con + con experience, huh....a bit traumatic to remember 
) No matter! Assuming you know most these cosplays already, let's report on the high points at least--
Although this is more like a revisit than much of a recap ('cause no up-to-date posts as of late, and a lack of post-con lineup images too, to explain later....), here's what happened:
DAY 0: NO COSPLAY that day! Held a booth at the Swap Meet and made some cash$$ LOL! First time boothing too!
DAY 1: Jakku Rey / Ballroom Rey (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) - Debuted a new cosplay with a friend who was older Luke Skywalker! Got to borrow his legit Luke Skywalker light saber! At night, changed into a ballrooom version of Rey for ACA's Royal Rose Ball dance!
DAY 2: Rey - Last-minute deliberation to wear Rey again, to add more sparkle to her debut! 
DAY 3: Professor Hershel Layton - Out of comfort and tiredness, Layton was a quick fit to attend the last slow day of the con! Got to buy merch too by arriving SUPER EARLY to the con! Layton is a timely gentleman for sure!
I'm in the process of planning new things to complete with my cosplay endeavors! I have not much since ALA 2015, and it's been gaining speed, fueling my passion and ambition for 2017!

ANIME EXPO 2016
[Change in cosplay plans described below]
DAY 0: NO COSPLAY that day! Attended as a normal human being LOL DAY 1: Cardverse Austria (Hetalia; original design) - Was supposed to debuted a new cosplay with +12 group members, but halfway-thru the day, cosplay group plans fell flat horribly....Was very disappointed and exasperated in my attempts to re-gather the group. DAY 2: Professor Hershel Layton - Met CAPCOM Producer Motohide Eshiro at the Ace Attorney Booth Gathering as Layton! IT LEGIT! DAY 3: Zacharias Barnham [ver. 2.0] / Florence Sich - Screwed up on hosting the PLvsAA gathering by being stuck at AX's Cosplay Repair Station mending my armor....thankfully was saved by my co-host's leadership in commencing the gathering without me [PHOTOS - HERE / TUMBLR] After participating/arriving late to the gathering, changed into a casual (test) cosplay ver. of Florence Sich. DAY 4: Descole-disguised Desmond Sycamore - Last-minute idea to mix-match my Descole and Desmond cosplays, since they are BOTH awesome! Some actually recognized the character too, which is unusual for a mix-match!

[losing interest]UPDATE + AX 2017 Revisited
Hello folks! :wave: Just wanted to let you all know that.... there may be a spam of updates coming soon, AKA posting a MASSIVE amount of photos online for next few weeks. (Most which are slightly outdated and due for publication....)
