Unknown Entry 076

unknown cosplay 76 from comiket 2010Now this girl looks like someone who came out of Ragnarok Online. But I’ve never played the game before, so I can’t be sure, especially with all the character upgrades they’ve done over the years!

She does remind me of the Gypsy character though… I wonder if that’s an accurate guess? Please help me out, guys! Thanks again to Gundamu for the photo!

flea market finds



For the first time in weeks I actually had a couple of good oppy finds. A little teak bust and a cool 1970's plastic globe that will replace the one the kids destroyed last week. Wooden sculpture, mid century primitive art and globes are some of my favourite things to hunt for when I'm scouring op shops or markets. I admit that the demand for globes adds to the excitement. Their scarcity and desirability adds to the appeal, you feel a bit like you've struck vintage gold when you snag a good one.

For more flea market finds pop over and visit Sophie at Her Library Adventures.

Raining on the Festival of Lights



We were meant to head into Federation Square with some friends of Mr Curbside to join in on the Diwali festivities today. Food, music, dancing and lots of childrens entertainment had us all pumped for a really exciting family day out, but alas the rain came down and with it our chance to celebrate the Hindu new year with some Indian friends. So, in lieu of all the fabulous photos I'm sure I would have taken to share with you today, here are a bunch of Diwali pic's from Flickr. 

One Piece: Boa Hancock

Seriously, how could we not have a wee Halloween special today... !?
I'm sure none of you will be sick of seeing pumpkin orange teamed with spooky black and zombie green on a backdrop of ghoulish white!

I'm off to stock up on wine and popcorn for staying up into the wee hours of the morning watching super scary movies. Don't worry though, I have my wee man to protect me from all kinds scary spooks once the witching hour is upon us... ;)
If you have any spooky film recommendations please do leave a wee note in the comments. I can't promise I'll be brave enough to watch them, but I'd love to know what would scare the pants off you... !!!

Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy all the spooky shenanigans you're going to be getting up to... :)

Naruto: Uchiha Itachi 02

naruto cosplay - uchiha itachi 02Because of the violence of war Itachi experienced during his early childhood, he longed for peace and wished to achieve it at any cost. This was the reason why he became a double agent when his clan planned a coup d'état against Konohagakure. He was given orders to assassinate all of the Uchiha, but could not bring himself to kill his younger brother, Sasuke. He made himself out as a villain and joined the criminal organization, Akatsuki, continuing his work as an agent of Konoha.

Beautiful cosplay! I’ve always liked this character despite being the villain in Naruto. Thanks to Trida for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for commenting the cosplayer is Jesuke!

I'm a fan of Franck Juery's work.  It strikes a chord with me, and while I love talking in general, I'm not much for sharing why I love art work in detail, preferring instead to share the visual experience.  The Franck Juery website is a place where you could easily lose yourself for quite some time. Love it.
