I've made my first sale at my Esty shop. *squee!* Yay! People do like my stuff. ^_^ For those curious, it was my Rainbow Dash bracelet. I'll have to make another once I get this one mailed off.

I know this is early thinking, but is it wrong that I'm now considering making two costumes for AnimeMaritime in 2012? I want to do the human Zelgadis from Evolution-R, but I'm also liking the idea of doing a cosplay of Applejack.

I know that I already went as Fluttershy, but what I like about the pony cosplays is that you can interpret the character however you like and no costume of it can be considered wrong. You can easily have five different cosplayers of Applejack and all can be as a good cosplay of the character. I tend to stick with just one character, and I would like to go to a con as a Slayers character. I'll have to think about it.

I've also found a good apple bread recipe that I want to try, although I would use pecans instead of walnuts since I prefer pecans.

Omg, you should make apple bread and go around offering samples "Made from scratch! And from mah fam'ly farm's fresh-grown apples. Yes sir, there ain't nothin' like apples from th' Apple fam'ly farm! You got ta taste it ta b'lieve it!"

And you need a shirt with Applejack's cutie mark pattern of apples on it!

Congrats on your first sale!

I think I may try a pony cosplay, too. The fact that there's no "right" way to do it means I can be creative and have fun without getting hung up on details and accuracy.

Exactly, I think that's the best part of pony cosplay. You can literally do whatever you want and not have to worry about the details. You'll have to let me know which character you decide to go as. ^_^

It's hard to say. I want to say Rarity because she's my favorite. But I may end up trying Fluttershy first because it would be easy (I already have a cute yellow dress and my hair is a good fit for Fluttershy).
And I think it would be cool to try Celestia (she's my favorite secondary character).

Woot! Congrats! *throws confetti* xD

LOL I don't believe it is ever too early to think of costumes before a con. I would never get anything done if I didn't.

Thanks, cosplay is a good reason to start planning ahead. ^_^

Congrats on your first sale!

And best of luck making costumes. I'm not very good at that, but I applaud anyone who is!

If you dress as Applejack, do you distribute said apple bread at cons?

Don't know yet, but I would probably rather give out apple cookies or something. They're easier to hand out. XD
