This weekend is Sakura Con (wheeeee!) and for the first time in over three yeras, I'll be attending again. (double whee!)
Though, this time I'll actually be working half the time since we're promoting the JET Programme and, tacitly, tourism to Japan. I think the cosplay idea that was being tossed around has fallen through, so I probably will just bring my formal kimono out.
During my last year there, I bought a gorgeous, gorgeous kimono along with the obi (one of my favorite parts, hand-woven), geta, and all the miscellaneous inbetween. And trust me, there's a LOT of misc inbetween for kimono. Also, this is not kind to the big-chested of us, so I have to bind myself down from top to bottom so I can be presented as straight up and down. Ho.
I've also got my Slytherin robes, and I may don that at a point... though I doubt it. Also got a Gothic Lolita kimono I bought one year on a whim and it's really gorgeous, though maybe slightly inappropriate. Maybe. Hmmmmmm.
Anyways. If any of you are headed there, stop by the JET booth and say hello!
