~~~ A Gijinka Story ~~~

So, one of the projects that I will be working with this year is in a My Little Pony inspired Gijinka Photoshoot this Summer. I have always LOVE My Little Pony. I used to have 6 - 8 G1 ponies and the stable. Things happen and thanks to my ex I lost them all, but that is another story. Thanks to the magic of *angelic chorus sings* ebay, I have being able to locate some of the ones I used to have and will buy them. Mainly the ones I used to have.
Anyway, gijinka is a Japanese word meaning humanoid or anthropomorphic. It is nothing more than the human representation of something that other wise is not. People representing animals, computers (even hardware, software and internet sites), food, cigarettes, the zodiac... you name it! In the cosplay world, the most commonly seen gijinkas are Pokemon, My Little Pony, Digimon, along others. Kemonomimi (wearing animal ears) is also considered a form of gijinka so is the (weird yet awesome) sub culture of furries.

These are just samples! The gijinka world is not limited to this, there is so much more! Specially thanks to cosplaying anime and manga characters.

Between now and this photoshoot I have a ton of other projects, but since this one is so special to me, I decided to tackle this one first. My other 4 projects are in the making too, one of the almost finished.

Though I will not yet disclose which pony I will do my gijinka of, I will show around some of the items I have bought so far. Wanna keep people guessing lol. All I'm saying is that it is not from the G4 series ^.^ As my outfit progresses I will keep posting more details till the day of the photoshoot!

2012... Already!?

Good grief... it is 2012 already! I couldn't wait for the new year, but I think I wasn't ready for it yet. The past few months have being a total pain in the ass. I shouldn't have stepped away from the blog, since it is my way of venting, but sometimes I feel too fed up with people (the cause of these past months being so hectic).

So, enough ramblings for now! 2012! Loving it! I cannot wait till Dec. 31st every year. To me it means "borron y cuenta nueva" or erase and start again. Last year started so, so. Then it got ok for a while and half way turned into shit. This year started shitty (yeah only 6 days into the year and its already shitty), but it might just be the beginning of something awesome!

This year's projects should keep me busy for a while and away from trouble (or maybe get me even closer). What am I working on? A Rocky Horror Picture Show Audience Participation Extravaganza, I'm the admin of two Facebook groups ( Dr. Frank-N-Furter's Lab Assistants and PR Lolitas Fashion and More!ＰＲロリータファッションｙママ！)several photoshoots (lolita fashion, gijinka My Little Pony, Adventure Time, and Silent Hill), some conventions (I will limit myself to only 4 conventions of the so many that are popping all over the place).

It will most defenetly be a busy year. Now all I need to do is get down to business!
