I have a free hour and therefore I can update,yay! I'm so happy *sigh *sob
It has been a long time since I updated my journal last time,but I just couldn't persuade myself to get rid of the beautiful photos from the front page, since they're pretty much my idols ahah xD
A lot happened during these days. Sooo many things I can't even remember!
I'll just start from where my memories are clear-

Two or three weeks ago *shot I won a sponsor contest and now I'm a testimonial for lolita for the first italian cosplay store which recently opened in Rome. It was a big surprise,because I had just thrown my photo there and waited while some photos were getting 28931928 votes xD I'm a bit tired of these kind of contests,and thus,if I ever partecipate,I just submit the photo and blah <_< wait.
When the guys from Tora Store contacted me I couldn't believe it- it turned out that there was also a jury playing an important part in choosing winners.
Now the problem is…
lolita?
I know almost nothing of this style. ;w;
I mean,I like the outfits and such,but I heard there's even a bible around (?)
I can't make it.
And I'm too tall for this kind of thing >_<
I'm deeply worried I'll be a ita.


School is killing me, but this is not a new fact. I'm taking a break now, but I think I began to get into this working schedule… get up,eat,study,eat,study,cosplay,eat,one hour and a half break,sleep. It seems I'm somewhat slower than my classmates. Or,I don't know. I think I'm retarded or something,ahah
Despite this,anyway, my teachers have sent my student curriculum to a prestigious university called Normale,in Pisa. It's said to be the "University-city",because "You can't leave not even for a second untill you've finished everything". I'm a bit scared,and that's why I've messed up my presentation…when I was asked why I wanted to go there,I wrote a poetry. Seriously. ._.
My principal said it's weird, because people usually write normal things like "yeer I like studying 18 hours a day everyday every year *sparkles" xD
and I said: I KNOW.
Maybe I'm an idiot, throwing away such a wonderful opportunity,but I don't think I would fit in…as I said,I'm just too stupid to go to such an important university.
I'll just go to a normal one u_u"""
…if I ever manage to do it <_<


Anyway,I can't wait to see the photos I took with Operation One >w< After six months,at last,my elf cosplay from Lineage II is ready! We got to shoot in a wonderful studio with professional lightning and all sort of effects. It was a great experience, and I finally got to properly wear it after an entire morning spent crying because a part of the skirt got damaged during the transportation,and also because of my usual blah blah blah about "I'm not good enough" "the costume isn't good enough" and such. Seriously,I need to calm down- but it doesn't matter how many times I keep repeating myself that everything's allright,I don't trust me  *cough
Lots of love for the makeup for this costume- light, natural and easy *loves *loves

I also made a Mio cosplay to sponsor a wig I got from a japanese store named Assist wig [link]

The wigs they sent me are,in brief,WONDERFUL. Great fiber,great color,great everything.
If you ever go to Japan,be sure to visit their store,'coz they're really good >_<
I took part in a small convention with this costume,but I think I have to wait for the photoshoot which will be next month,probabily,to wear it again.
I like it a lot ^_^
And it was wonderful people called me by name at the convention,saying they had seen me on facebook and they were willing to take photos with me- it was such an honor I could barely speak!

Also,it was a great achievement to go to this far alone (Arezzo-Modena: 2 hours and a half by train) xD I usually go anywhere alone,but not with a cosplay. I start to become paranoid and I usually mess up everything xD


The most important news are,anyway…last but not least…
I met a wonderful photographer from DA
He came to visit me and we took great photos for two days! He's such a kind and amazing person,very patient -as I was trying to look natural while babbling in english- >< And he's so skilled,omg,I wanted to cry when I saw the photos on the display,
"Is that really me?"
We even had a day just for modeling photos <3

we went everywhere in search for good locations,but my city is quite small,so there aren't many places to visit- we managed to take great shots anyway <3


Along with the "almost-pro" and great shots,there's also a good part of totally random shots xD we were laughing like idiots as we had amazing moments of pure madness when I tried to steal the mirror in his room because I was trying to make it up for my poor facial expressions and un-proness,and of course,he was taking photos as a proof of my theft <_<


We have took pictures of our shoes.


I must say that people around us were enthusiastic. I'm used to weird looks and even weird comments while I'm cosplay,but weirdly this time people not only were quiet,but some of them approached us to -sincerely- compliment the outfit. Some of them even asked "Is this cosplay? Is there a cosplay event nearby? No? Duuurhhh! >_< You're so cute anyway!"
It's the first time I hear the word"cosplay" from outsiders- °_° this means cosplay is getting more and more known and accepted in Italy- I'm very glad.

Anyway,I really hope to work with him again in the future. I've also learnt about the conventions in Vietnam- one day I want to go there to see them with my own eyes <3

I'm trying to focus on my next cosplay,which will be a character from Sakizou's art- I'm cosplaying it at Japan Expo,in France ^_^ I hope everything is gonna be allright...but I don't trust me. ._.

P.s. I became obsessed with Mirai nikki.
