Description So Saint Tail was the first costume I ever made for a con ten years ago. I wore it first at Otakon 2002 (www.acparadise.com/acp/display… if you're curious about how terrible it was) so I decided to remake it for 2012! I used the same gloves and bow tie from the original costume for an extra sentimental touch. Not too many recognized it but those that did were really excited which is always fun!

Saint Tail made and worn by me

I loved the show... and I still curse the Tv Channel that aired it in my country because it stopped its broadcast in the episode before the finale! ¬¬.

I had to wait half a decade to know how the whole thing finished thanks to a magazine :S.

Anyway, so much good memories of those times, and nice job .

Oh no, that's terrible! D: I read the manga when I was in middle school. I still have yet to watch the anime but I still have the manga and reread it every once in a while.

Thanks!

I saw you in this costume at Otakon. It was so cute. I would have loved to have shot it myself, but I was so busy with shoots.

My next con is either Ichibancon in NC or Katsucon. After that, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing...

Awesome. I'll be attending Katsucon as well, so we could probably figure out something then.
