Hello dearies! (◍•ᴗ•◍)♬

So I'd like to share two main topics on this entry:

1. Facebook
I joined the dark side and got myself –– facebook.
I must admit that I made that account mainly to stalk people (Reika is a goddess), but I also want to connect with people and share some of my work. So if you want to follow me there as well, just click on the picture below and you'll find my facebook page! I'm still not very familiar with everything since I never had a fb account before, but it'd be really nice if you'd support me there too! :heart:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
You'll find there: Work in Progress photos  Convention impressions & reviews ♦ Cosplayphotos of me & my friends

The difference between my facebook page and tumblr cosplay page are the details: My facebook page is meant to be an overview of my work and the WIPs with focus on sharing & connecting with people, while my tumblr will have more detailed posts about how I did what, inspiration and tutorials that I have either made myself or found & reblogged.  
So full dose of self- & cosplay stuff centered josy is found on tumblr, while I suggest my facebook page to like/follow if you don't have too much time to spare and really just want to have a short overview of what's going on. I will also always link the longer post of tumblr (if there is one) on the shorter at facebook, so in case you want to know anything more about a specific post, you can do so by just one click. 
So yeah, hope to see you on either one of those pages! ( •ॢ◡-ॢ)-♡


2. Ophelia
As some of you might already know, Tinsch & Rhea came by from Berlin last month and we had a photoshoot together that centered around a self-written epilog of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. A summary of our epliog goes like this: in the original Ophelia was written as a character that embodies love and purity. She loved Hamlet and her family very dearly and never bothered too much with affairs of state, so when her father died, insanity started to take its effect on her and in the end swallowed her whole when she found out, that it was in fact Hamlet who killed her father. Not being able to process the tragedy and betrayal, she drowned herself in the river. Now in our epilog she did not just simply die – her feelings for Hamlet – love, ignorance of reality and sehnsucht after(?) the times they once had – kept lingering in this world and she could just not let go. Unable to leave the water she killed herself in, she can do nothing but to sing her sorrow and wishes into the world, in hopes that her fairy tale prince will come and save her. And indeed it seems like he's coming every now and then, but everytime they embrace, he vanishes and leaves nothing but white bones and a red trail in the waters.
In her on-going insanity Ophelia did not realize that her body and mind withered over the ages; that she turned herself into a restless swamp nymph. Neither did she understand that it was never Hamlet that came for her – it was always some poor boy that followed her lovely voice and got killed and devoured by her until there was nothing left but bones. Ophelia is condemned to an eternal search for her beloved Hamlet without ever finding what she longs for.

It's quite the tragic story, but I like it a lot.
Rhea posed as my charming prince & victim, while I had the role of the lovely Ophelia. It was also Rhea who did most of my make-up and our lovely assistents Izumi & flippi are also worth to mention – everyone did a great job and I had a blast that weekend. I am not completely satisfied with my performance there, but there are more pics upcoming and man, i just had such a wonderful time.
I wanted to share some of the photos that are on already, but as I said: more's to come! :heart:

Enjoy and see you next time! (˘˘

Josy :heart:

Hello dearies!


How have you been? Good, I hope. :iconfloatingplz:
Eh, you must be thinking: 'Josy you idiot! I thought you're so slow at responding
because you need to study?? Why do you have time to write a journal entry?!'

Well truth is: you're right – I don't have the time for that. I should be doing tons of university stuff right now, and yes, I am kinda screwed, but you see – this, all of this, the things I do in my leisure time are also important to me and I really hope I can find a way to manage my time better so I can be satisfied with my hobbies and my carrier.
So yeah, I started with changing a few things around here.
I've been trying to redesign my profile page & went for a warm feeling. It's nature and flower themed and very mori girl-like because personally, I really do like the mori girl fashion because I feel like I can connect with it the best. It's simple & 'natural', yet pretty and girly – a bit like how forest fairies are effortlessly pretty.
Haha, but enough of the kitsch.

I must admit that I also feel a bit overwhelmed by the thoughts what's ahead of me & kinda need to write things down to, mh, maybe -- clear my head, I guess.
On one side I have my essays & exams, and on the other side there is a lot of artsy cosplay projects waiting for me directly afterwards. Also at least three visits to Germany and a few dream cosplays I'm finally going to do with the best people one could wish for. They are all sweethearts and so kind to me! Man and thinking of finally, actually really doing some of my most beloved series of all times make my heart go all fuzzy and warm and humm. But still so much to prepare till then …

Ah, but it's not just the projects ahead of me – I also wanted to tell you about a few things I
already did this year, and again: it was very very fun. So for one we have the Hakuouki Shooting
of which I've already uploaded a few photos of me as Chizuru:
Graceful by AN0RIEL Droplets by AN0RIEL Demons by heart by AN0RIEL
I also have my first gifset ever made in this costume: anoriel.tumblr.com/post/481319…
And a few photo sets I'm very fond of:
anoriel.tumblr.com/post/524673…
anoriel.tumblr.com/post/518727…
anoriel.tumblr.com/post/515690…

And the outtakes c;
anoriel.tumblr.com/post/505766…

…but there's more to come! I also cosplayed as Okita Souji with a large group on a wonderful shooting. (Many thanks to :iconromailee: for providing all of us with the costumes and organizing this huge thing!)
Another thing which I'm still editing is Brera Sterne from Macross Frontier.
I have the cutest Ranka one could dream of: :iconcutemichiyo: !
Also had a blast shooting with her and Vincent and yeah, I'll finish editing the photos after the exams.

Oh, and recently i've been thinking about getting myself a facebook page because a) some of my friends and cosplay 'sempais' (we're friends, i look up to them & love their work …i think 'sempai' is a good term here) have made an account b) there are a few other artist I'd really love to follow and lastly c) because I'm kinda interested in the way how facebook connects people. I'm sure there will be a lot of douches and I already roll my eyes, but I also kinda hope that there will be equally nice and fantastic people out there.
Hmm … I'll see how it'll work out. After the exams!!

So yeah, long story short: Stay tuned!
There's a lot coming up this year & I'm excited to present it all to you, bit by bit!
:iconfloatingplz:

Take care and see you lovies soon,



Josy
