Description I clearly must be writing too much for my American Diplomatic History class to be coming up with titles like this. The War of 1812 can suck it, not our most glorious war, not the most riveting politics behind it, and I'm clearly bitter about having to write essays on it right before fall break

So here's one of the photos Yunie's been hoarding from me. LOL It's right after the masquerade so we were all a little tired, disappointed, and burnt out, yet still managed the energy to stay in these costumes for hours after for private photos. My Rydia's such a trooper for doing so in her painful boots and leotard/corset that was giving her scars! I was actually happy the NDK stage lighting was much brighter and better set up compared to last year, so we could actually get some decent shots up on the stage after the contest. I kind of have a DERPDERP face here, but I've pretty much come to the conclusion that NDK was "Funny Face Con" with many photos we got back making dorky faces XD It almost deserves its own journal entry, once I get all the photos back.
More Rosa to come as I get the pictures, then you'll all be spammed to no end LOL

Random comment, but I think that color wig really works for you, and that blonde color is hard to sport. I've seen that shade on other people and it was unfortunate, but I like it here. Your skin tone must be working it! :3

Actually, I appreciate that a lot A few people said "Oh that's not Rosa's hair color", ignoring that I only go the wig the day before I wore the costume, so it was a bit of a guessing game as to which color Cyperous would send me (I know my monitor calibration doesn't do well with their images sometimes because they specifically tint their images to show a specific shade, so I over compensated lol).

Hahaha my skin tone is sooo pale, I do hope not XD

LOL I'm terribly pale myself, hence I wash out in 90% of photos But I think the shade works with the tone you have. I didn't realize it was such a rush to get the wig, but even if it's not quite her shade (I didn't notice actually) it looks good with the costume! The pink complements it~
Online ordering is like roulette even from cyperous, so I feel you. Almost every wig I've bought online came looking like something else D:

No kidding! It's like we need to pat ourselves on the back if we actually get the tone we NEED xD And half the time their color swatches are only for natural toned wigs ;.;

Thank you! Yeah, it took several months on our part to hand stitch all the beads, gather the fabrics, and design our own elements to the costumes - but so worth it
