Happy Halloween! Halloween 2009
We spammed this journal with pictures, so it's really long. Just an advanced warning.
For cosplayers, Halloween is a big deal. Why? Because it's the only day of the year that we get to dress up and not be classified as crazy.
This year we actually had a full group. We all managed to come back from school to meet up for Halloween. That means that for the first time in a long time, the SutekiGo had the chance to
This Halloween's roll call was:
Lisa 
as a Zombie
as a Zombie
Erin
as a Faerie
Lindy
as a Scarecrow
Jackie
as Pippi LongStocking
Nicole
as a black cat
And guest appearance by:
Chantal
as a bar wench (and our fantastic photographer <3 )
As usual, our day started at Erin's house. We decided to make an entire day out of Halloween, so we got ready early (by early we mean lunch time lol).
Pippi almost ready for the photoshoot!
Our lovely green-eyed zombie getting ready.
Pinning on the faerie wings.
Which took a looong time the first time we did it.
Still pinning.
Pippi looks frustrated over the wing pinning now.
And as always, we leave the room in a disaster.
Pippi is ready to go!
...and so is the scarecrow..? o_o
Finally we moved downstairs and got ready to go outside for the shoot. It was very very windy during the day, but thankfully not raining.
Pippi was the first ready again!
Followed by our dangerous (she was very dangerous with that scythe) scarecrow.
Then our gruesome zombie, who couldn't move her mouth much that day, due to the make-up.
Like we said, the wind was bad during the day. For quite a few of us, wind was dangerous for our outfits (wigs, wings, hats, etc. ) so we took shelter in Erin's forest. The scenery was pretty good for our costumes anyway.
Venturing into the forest, with Erin's dog Rocky as a guide.
Okay... now what?
"It's windy you guyzzzzz! My wings!"
Finding a better, less windy place to be, again guided by her dog.
My precioussssssss.
"Okay guys! Get to work!"
First up for the photoshoot was the Zombie. We were so happy Chantal came out with us that day. She took amazing pictures of us! Most of these modeled pictures to follow are courtesy of her.
Of course, the rest of us had fun taking pictures too. Lindy is getting good practice for her photography course as well as Chantal (even if Lindy did forget her amazing camera at home
).
Our photographer wench at work.
Photographing under the warmth of a blanket. Oh, the lengths we go to for good pictures.
Our photographer entourage.
Pippi thinks she's useful!
More of our creepy zombie Lisa.
Who is even more creepy when she's helping put a blanket around you. o_o
Lindy's picture, Erin's hand, Lisa's camera. Think about that one.
Getting ready to photograph Erin, the next model...
...who was... attempting to fly?
But got stuck on the forest life. Fail.
Meanwhile the photographers laugh at her struggles.
MY TREE!
"Who's in my forest!?"
"Wait... don't leave..."
Chantal at work.
Lindy not at work.
Pippi not at work.
At this point, our Zombie was very cold.
As you can see, even in the forest, the wind was still blowing.
Next up was Lindy! We moved outside of the forest for this one, at first taking shelter under the roof of Erin's barn, then moving into the open field.
Lisa took this opportunity to grab a coat. It went perfectly with her zombie ensemble. XD;
My Pippi senses are tingling!
Next up: Jackie!
After our cold and windy shoot, we went to pick up Nicole.
Our cute little black cat.
We had a supper of perogies back at Erin's. However, in order to eat, Lisa had to remove a bit of her costume....
"MY SKINNNNNNNNNNN!"
After supper we wanted to take some more pictures. This time is was Chantal's turn.
Again, thanks so much Chan!! The pictures you took are amazing! And it was so awesome seeing you and having you hang out with us again!
And you make one sexy bar wench. For a long time now we've wanted to make Butterbeer. Yes, Harry Potter's Butterbeer. And FINALLY on Halloween after all the modelling, we made it. We found a recipe online, and it turned out pretty good. Frothing it was somewhat of a challenge but in the end it was warm and tasty.
After our Butterbeer, we decided it was finally time to wander the streets. The wind had died down a bit by then, but it was still pretty windy and pretty cold. So we bundled up.
Emo Zombie, who was repeatedly mistaken for a boy as the night went on.
The Lulu face! or attempt at. LOL
We drove to Chantal's house (who lives in town) and started our journey from there.
"There's what behind me?"
Um.. don't think Zombie skin tastes good, Pippi.
Above you!
Yes, our scarecrow can opera sing. Didn't we tell you?
Excited to go outside!
Finally, we made it onto the streets!
Time for "Spot the Scarecrow"...
"Stop photobombing us!!"
During the course of the night, we walked from one end of town to the other. It's depressing to see that every year Halloween seems to be getting shorter and shorter for the rest of the world. We were one of the few groups out.
When we got to the other side of town, we stopped at Tim Horton's for some warmth and food and drink.
Enjoying the rest.
Lisa and Lindy both had to drink through straws because of their make-up.
It was very difficult for this faerie to sit anywhere. Or fit through doors for that matter.
Cheers!!
Around the table
Now let's end the night with our only group picture:
Happy Halloween everyone!
News
We would like to say that we're making progress on our Code Geass cosplay... but the truth is, we really haven't been. We've got a fair bit of material for it (though we haven't got all of it yet), but Halloween has been taking up most of our time. Not to mention school. Wigs have been bought of course, though we still need Lelouch's and Suzaku's. Hopefully those will be bought by Christmas. In regards to the outfits themselves, we've got to start working on them now that Halloween is over.
The Azumanga Daioh outfits are complete for everyone except Erin (and possibly Jackie). We've picked out wigs for ourselves, but again, hopefully these will be ordered before Christmas (though Lisa already has her Sakaki wig).
This year's cosplay seems to be moving slowly. Is that a surprise though?
On the other hand, we have been discusing quite a few cosplays we'd like to do in the future. And the choices may surprise some of you. So many choices, so little time.
Mortified
