Shit I posted years ago

I've seen some people reading my old posts.

Please don't take anything from them, I tried being funny and it just didn't work.

Since then I actually love drag queens and artists and I don't have anything against transgender, I'd say it's more me growing up and understanding the world more. I did write some of that content some four years ago. 

One thing still remains; I completely dislike celebrities being famous over leaking sex tapes and claiming they are a business person after making a career off sex.

Cosplay Noob: Sailor Neptune casual cosplay

Guess what I decided to buy?!

This!!

This is going to be the start of my body/top for my upcoming Sailor Neptune cosplay. Honestly it just came and I was up and trying it on in no time! Though I have doubts about it I'm sure I can work with it. 

Firstly, the fabric is suuuuuper see through. Even wearing beige underwear (and shape wear, for medical reasons) I can see things through it. Secondly I feel it's a little flimsy. Because it's a bodysuit it has poppers on the crotch area and these don't feel very secure and feels cheap. All in all not a good buy but I didn't want to wear just a tshirt and have gathering, being too much of a perfectionist here but I really want to have a proper try at this.

I know, I'm gonna have to fix the skirt too.... Or not... This is supposed to be a casual cosplay after all. I can't help it XD Honestly I'm in two minds, if I can just do the body I would be more than happy but also I would want to make everything go with the original, go full out and do it right instead of a half arsed casual cosplay. 

Only things to get done now are shoes, the "armour", bows and scarf. 

MUCH EXCITE

Memory Lane Monday: Sailor Moon S

Sorry about all the Sailor Moon themed posts but I'm watching it and I'm just dealing with all the feels.

Speaking of dealing with the feels, I have two songs I LOVE from the old anime. The first is an ending song off Sailor Moon S and it's a sad one, well I think it's sad because it sounds like it xD 

Anyway the song is called "Tuxedo Mirage" and it's performed by all the inner senshi/warriors (by that I mean moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus) and their group was called Peach Kiss or something(?) ( I need to research more so I'm sorry if it's wrong).

Don't ask me why it gives me the feels, I just feel like the song has a lot of emotion behind it.

The second song has to be the opening, but my favourite version is the one from Sailor Moon S (again) because there's a better sound quality to it and there's more layers to it. And the singing is improved I feel.

I have a third favourite song and it's from the ending on Sailor Moon R "Otome No Policy", it's not even a favourite I hate the singing but I like the backing music ^.^

And oh my god. I just found out what the initials after each series stand for! Such a rookie fan! I had no idea "R" stood for "Romance/Revenge" and "s" stood for "super"... But if that is the case, the fourth series stands for "super super"? Hmm.

Edit: Sailor Moon Super S stands for super senshi or super stars. I think super senshi suits it more. 

Friday favourites: Waiting a long time for my stuff

I decided to get myself a Mr universe tshirt, the one Stevens dad gives to Rose in that episode, and I've waited around two weeks and it's just been sent off. Which I'm super excited for! I was expecting it to take two weeks and it did which I'm happy with!

The other is a custom necklace from Bete Niore Jewlery. It's just gone over the 14 day mark. I panicked and emailed the company and she was really vague, "we have days off too". "So you don't work Monday to Friday?" I should have asked. And on the website it says to leave a minimum for 14 days before contacting... So what's the maximum waiting time then? I know it's a custom necklace but they don't seem to have any information apart from waiting 14 days to ask or the fact they might not work 5 days a week.

Depending on the quality I don't think I will shop there again unfortunetly.

Cosplay hate

Wow. Over the last few days I've seen a lot of negativity from others when it comes to individuals cosplay. 

People posting stuff like that makes me really nervous about doing a cosplay for the first time (I've decided I'm going casual btw, lol) and how I feel others will perceive my costume. At the start of all this, I was all like "yeah fuck the haters" but now I'm just nervous. Say if someone takes my photo and turns me into some horrible meme? I know it's a risk and I shouldn't be doing a costume if I'm thinking this, but I honestly don't like backing out from ideas that I am/were 100% behind from the start.

But yeah. If I ever see a costume I see as not nice, which is rarely ever, I honestly don't ever go out of my way to critique someone. It's not nice. And even more so over the Internet. 

People. BE NICE AND DONT BE A DICK FOR FUCK SAKE IS ALL IM SAYING.

Makeup review: NYX matte lip cream

Yesterday I had a little delivery from the lovely Amazon man and it had two items from nyx. I've wanted to try nyx since seeing it on RuPauls Drag Race and what with seeing others saying good things about the brand I thought I would try a matte lip cream as I deaperately want to try matte lipstick. 

I didn't want to go with Kat Von D or Anastasia Beverly New York OR Jeffree Star because they are so hard to get and are a on the expensive side. Trust me if I had the money I would gladly get a few shades! They are gorgeous. Also I didn't want to go with Lime Crime. Fuck that. Don't even talk to me about that company, I don't want to have horrible smelly stuff to touch my lips let alone get an allergic reaction of some kind.

I managed to get the shade "Istanbul", I purely got this because I wanted to find a nice pink lipstick that I could also use for my cosplay (sorry I'm planning still and really enjoying the process!). I usually go for a nude colour with a hint of purple as that best suits my skin tone I find. I've also tried "brave" by mac, I usually nick that from my twin because why not?! xD

So, reading reviews. Some people said that it makes your lips feel dry, is difficult to apply and rubs off.

Moisture: I would say this product does make my lips feel dry but it's not a horrible overly chapped dry feeling. I think it might be the nature of matte lipstick, though my lips do tend to go dry when I'm using other lipsticks anyway. 

Application: I didn't have any issues applying the colour to my lips. It was very easy. The only thing I can see being a problem would be putting it on when your in a rush, it might not dry too quickly.

Wearability: This lasted for such a long time. I was so happy to see I still had it on. The only time it came off was when I was drinking, from a bottle in this case. I think that is a natural occurring issue with any lipstick. I haven't tried drinking through a straw yet so that might be an experience that for another day.

Overall, I am overly happy with this product. I love the colour of it. I would recommend this to anyone.

Midweek something? Sailor Moon series 1 vs Sailor Moon Crystal series 1

Honestly I didn't know what to call this post. ButYes here we go, yet another talk about Sailor Moon. But this is only because I've decided to revisit the original anime. I'm going to try and keep the asetetics out of this because let's face it they both had questionable designs, but you expected better from Crystal what with it being new. But whatevs.

Quickly touching on one of the most major differences between the original and the reboot was that the tone was completely different. With the original you had this funny charm to it that, let's be honest, is the best. It's not as serious as its newer counterpart, which is a let down. Personally speaking I missed the fun side to the anime, it's what made it enjoyable from the start. But then again maybe the reboot is being true to what the story is trying to portray? 

You have this 14 year old school girl who is clumsy and lazy who in a matter of a few minutes is thrown into being a super heroine, and she doesn't like it but she's plodding along with it because this cat is telling her to do so. Now, Crystal made me feel really angry at Usagi during most of the season. She needed so much help it seemed and that came across as a serious problem. Also what bugged me was how she handled "problems" when it came to her MIRIACRU ROMANSU Mamoru, she just seemed to sulk and get overly jealous. Even with a child involved. Which lets face it is creepy. At least in the old anime it was just like "Oh you" and it wasn't as much of an issue because it wasn't serious. You wasn't thinking "FUCKING GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER" every episode.

Filler episodes. WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?! I honestly love the filler episodes in the oldie! You actually got to know a wide range of the characters. You had lots of episodes including Harou, Usagi's best friend, who gets dropped after a while. Honestly I would love to see an episode based on how she feels when Usagi gets these four new friends because I'd be honest, I would be pissed! (I think there is an actual episode? I can't remember) There was a lot more random villains in the older one too. Crystal doesn't have the feeling of going at a steady pace. It would have been nice to have some episodes in between meeting each senshi, like in the older series.

Please. The transformation sequences SUK in crystal. NO CGI. That is all.

Lastly music. I have to admit I hate the music in the Japanese version of Sailor Moon and that I love the music in crystal. Take out the American dub music and place it into the original Japanese sub and I would be happy. Only thing I can say is that the English dub for the original series was bad and that NO ONE SHOULD HAVE CHANGED A THING. Also the opening sequence song is vile. I actually hated it as a kid. I love Moon Pride and I'm hoping they make that into an official English version with similar lyrics.

I ONLY JUST REALISED THAT ZOISITE IS A WOMAN IN THE ENGLISH DUB!!!! Yeah no matter what I'm completely against the English dub from changing same sex couples into different sex characters or the infamous cousin incest thing going on between Neptune and Uranus.
