Okay almost one year.... I am not dead !! Not yet!! I was looking to find an artist I watch to see what happen of her\his kiriban when I saw that hey.... my last journal on DA was october 23 ... 2016.... 1 month and a few days would have been 1 year.

Lot of stuff happenend in my life and I am really sorry of the lack of content I post! I check DA at least once or twice a week. I still manage 2 pages after all and want to see all your lovely arts :)!!
I am way more active on my facebook page and the content is more recent ( I do am slow there too, but at least I post stuff there XD')
Here the link for those interested : [link]

In the last post I say I was droping 1 job of my 2 jobs in 2017.... well I did drop one, and drama happen at my second job and I was the third to be fired of my staff :I'' making me jobless. That is when I decided to go back to school! After a good 3 year on the work market... I'm back to school!

I am at my fourth week right now, it feels weird and I feel old XD'. But it's fun and I find this field way more my type than tourism. I am currently in a 4 years program to learn about the field of theather! And I want to take the costume and stage set course. So yeah in the futur I might me a great seamstress in the field ;)  ( I can always dream hahaha) 

But that class is really weird on schedule... making it hard to find a job... So I guess I'll have to work during vacation time. 

So yeah I did say 2017 was going to be the year of change... it took a different way than I was expecting last year but it's for the best :) 

Cosplay side I did continue to make cosplay as always, less than before obviously but on each costume slowly I see a personal improvement and this make me happy. I make less, but the quality get better since I take more time on each. 

I am currently working on a big personal project who I think gonna beat (in my eyes) the prettiness of my la muerte cosplay. I am at the point right now where I am not proud of la muerte anymore XD' and I would re-do it but I am not crazy enough for that. Though Fye I might be crazy some day or just change version...

Like always plans change, come and go since life come in the way, but I still cosplay and go to convention! During this long year I am thankful for my friends to have stay with me and made it better. At the begening of the year I tough it was going to be the worst ever, but now in september I have good memory of the year and it's not as bad in the end :) 

I soon will start to have more time to post picture and edit my sets. But my first priority and resolution for my back to school ... : try to get a normal sleep time. Aka do not live the night and look dead during the day XD'. It's hard since I've been 3 years on night shift, but slowly but surely I'll get there 8D'. Also get use to go up the stair to go to 4th floor.... I am  totaly not in shape and this is a big proof of it.... it's an old school and the stair are biiiggggg. With this I might be able to get up early and do stuff instead of being dead in my bed until I need to leave XD'''

I'll try to be more active before the end of the year but if anything happen see you in 2018 ;)! and If you are interested well you can see my work on my cosplay page Visuvampy cosplay on facebook and follow my progress, final result and adventure to convention!

See you everyone!

Im not dead! I am close to it but still alive!

First yeah!!! thank you so much everyone for the 200 watcher I feel so honored! We start a new miles! 2017 is comming and 2017 will be the year of changement!


I knew from the start 2016 wasn't going to be a great year hahaha I have some kind of curse with even number year hahaha even in my happy moment we get problem hahaha.



Still working 2 jobs, but I am officialy dropping at least one in 2017 at the begening of the year. One year and a half no weekend or almost and working days and night doing sometimes both in a day. switching from morning to night and another morning back to back. I have stopped counting the number of time I got sick in the year hahaha and I am currently sick again I don't think my voice will keep up for very long. My body has gotten is limit XD'. I normaly could count the time I got sick in a year on one hand, now I need more than 10 fingers hahaha. Working in public and being tired I get everything that people got hahaha. I prefer less money but still got time and health. (still need money tough)

Cosplay side... well my production went reallllllyy slower I am sad and traumatised by myself! I even had to give the rest of my esdeath cosplay in comission to :iconsimakai: because I was raging with it XD'

the thing I did this year (made our bought):
1 - Love live - eli ayase snowy mountain version
2 - love live - Maki Nikishino valentine day version
3 - xxx holic - yuuko in peacock version from the manga  ( this was a mistake, didn't even work in the end)
4 - Sailor moon - Queen nehelenia  ( only my cape to finish and maybe redo my necklage hahaha... almost set fire to the house with this... never read instruction when tired)
5 - Final fantasy X-2 - Yuna version festivalist ( my paint to finish so many paint)
6- Sailor moon- neptune in alice in wonderland ( does it count hahaha it was for my trip in disney?)

Cosplay started in progress for at least the end of this year:
1 - Zootopia - nick wilde police uniform version
2 - Secret cosplay for geekfest
3 - Caster from Fate\extra
4 - Puzzle and dragon - Isis

Plan for 2017 :
1- Rozen maiden - suigintou ( Katsucon 2017, maybe otak 2017 and a summer shoot)
2- Secret cosplay for costume con 2017 in toronto... its so fancy I don't know If I'll finish it in time
3- Secret cosplay for WCS 2017 cosplay with :iconnefercosplay: we are literally crazy hahaha we don't even know if our skit will be legit hahaha
4- Pokemon - Mewtow ginjinka ( I need to advance this XD')
5 - Austin Power - doctor evil for group at comic con if the group still happen.
6 - Shining hearts - melty
7 - FF-X2 trio many version

and thats it for now that come to my minds, I don't remember if I made promise to other people ( Did I make any?)? I didn't take much in because I didn't know if I would have drop my other job at those convention.

as for the rest of 2016, my mood where up and downs, got in a fight with 2 people I love, one we are ok now, we do like that thing never existed, the other one is ignoring me and don't know when she\he will take the time and courage and talk to me so we can arrange stuff or at least be neutral ( last time I try was too soon so got rejected, so I am waiting). I hate fights XD'' but they get to me anyway ( I am a magnet ;A;) and when I am dead tired depending of what I can get angry... and that not helping me. ( being dead all the time because of overtime everywhere doesn't help too)

Im slowly getting motivation back ( maybe because I know I will leave my worst job in 2-3 months the time the big rush get down and because its also the season to be paid twice hahaha) I even started cleaning my room and guys that is a big accomplishment! and on my own I normaly don't have the motivation to do that. Like I still got my otakuthons cosplay in a bag and then my disney luggage are half empty XD''' but I am starting and when my thing are clean I get a power cosplay motivation rush!

DISNEY!!
But yeah you saw I went to disney! with lots of friends :) like :iconnefercosplay: and :iconnoahwolfrin: ( I don't know if the other 2 have DA)  but even in our joy we get into problem hahahaha. We where going by car... the car broke down XD' battery dead and all so we got there 12 hours late! we also went during the Matthew hurricain... so there was a day at universal studio we had to cancel and get our money back and even the halloween night there ):! At least we did mickey mouse one even tough it was close to be cancel too  hahaha The rain was so big for a few hour that day, but its so hot there ( our canadian blood wasn't ready for that heat) that it dried quickly.The 3rd problem of the trip was our way back. We lost another 12 hours because we got stuck in the north carolina flood. The huricane didn't touch that much our part of florida but damn in north carolina we got stuck in a small village no way out we even had to do an illegal thing to get out. It was hard to find a toilet that was not flooded and half the city near where out of electricity. I even had to stop at the police station for help...

but with all that that was the best trip ever hahaha and I am a big cry baby and this was my dream so I have cry multiple time XD'' the lion king show in animal kingdom was amazing okay ;3;!! and the light show on the castle at night with all the firework okay ;3;! I also got my self a jumbo stitch plush XD' it take more space in my bed than me! My parents are telling me I am a  big baby XD'. At the halloween night we could dress as anything ( or almost) so we choose the theme Alice in wonderland version sailor moon! we did a shoot with a cellphone because nefer camera died during the parade hahaha.

so that mostly about it... I am still late in picture editing but I rarely get on my computer with all that work... and its halloween season for the job where I sell costume. I am a bit more active on facebook cosplay page if you want to follow its :  www.facebook.com/visuvampy/?fr…; there is alot of stuff there that are not here yet.

I had 2 shoot of old costume in the past months. 2 outside shoot yeah! one with la muerte and my other one with rozalin from disgaea 2.


I'll try to be more active and not just look at other people post hahaha expect a spam one day!! see ya all people I love you all! Even you if we ever got into a fight I never get mad more than 2 months... or even days... now sleep because over time rush this week because last week before halloween!! oh now that I think of it Happy halloween everyone!! I won't post until then :) next journal will obviously be the tradional end of the year and begening of 2017.

Sorry for english mistake and long post... I never know to make it short damn it... I'll stop now before it goes on and on and ooonnnnn

6 month already

9 min read
I randomly decided that today I should update my things and write a journal. While I look at the past one it make today exaclty 6 month since the last one.

obviously in 6 month a lot have happen.  (sorry in advance its not a happy journal, so if you dont want to read depress\sad vampy stop here)

.
.
.
.
.

I still work at my 2 jobs at the same time and its killing me piece per piece. Im currently trying to find another job with a better salaray and obviously a better schedule hahaha I want my sleep and time back ;A;''. so like this I wont have to work 2 job on the same day and have actual sleep in between. ANYWAYS!

exept that im dead tired, im kinda dead inside too. Since the begenning of the year it was problem over problem. People talking in my back (thinking I won't hear about it....), some verbal fight, problem with completing cosplay, motivation is also dead, not seeing anyone, feel like you are left out and no one like you,etc etc etc. Anyway Its 2016 hahaha I kinda have a malediction where the year is a even number like 2010,2012,2014 are like my worst year. Its also spring, wich is also my worst season in moods XD'' so not a good combo.

I'll get better in summer ( i hope).......

anyway XD on convention note there was some modification in plans

after my other post there was geekfest and quinte mini con, was so dead tired because of the halloween rush that I didn't finish my isis cosplay yet, I kinda did screw this I choose sleep XD' ( i got sick at least 3-4 time during october and november because I was over working XD') So around october and november only nozomi halloween was made. ( wich I look dead on pictures XD'')

after that there was the studio shoot in december, who was the same day my first job christmas party, I had lost part of my chuchu cosplay from show by rock,had to go buy some in emergency, got there during the last hour of the shoot, get dress.... wrong wig ;A; cries alot. So chuchu have no official shoot yet. I did win a go pro at my christmas party job, so it make me happy and felt better since I was feeling like shit because of the begening of the day.

And so my plan to do cosplay\convention vlog had start!  I did a youtube channel call visuvampy chanel (yes I jsut saw I made a mistake and forgot a N hahah I wonder if I can change that)

then work work work work, and cosplay rush to do my yuuko from xxx holic for Ganime, we kinda started late and obviously we did screw that the night before XD' So I was wearing maki st-valentin day from love live on friday and chuchu from show by rock saturday and sunday. Obviously original plan where yuuko and mewtow gijinka but everything went wrong ( and I got sick yet again)

then my birthday, got 22, was normal like every year

then there was katsucon where original plan was Mewtow, yuuko, caster from fate\extra and snowy mountain eli from love live.  In 2 weeks I had to do screw yuuko again... then mewtow because still didn't have my wig. So it was all snowy mountain and caster... but somehow everytime my boss tell me she will need to give me less hour at work I get double time instead and on convention rush... So while crying my life out during those 2 weeks I had to drop caster for the convention again because lets face it, my schedule is terrible, my mood was already dead from the convention before, and working on 2 costume switching from one to another wasn't a good idea in 2 - 3 weeks. Snowy mountain was choose because I had a full group and that our caster trio, one had already drop so we just decided to report it later.

so it became love live weekend! snowy mountain on friday and st-valentin maki on sunday. On saturday me and Nefer cosplay did a switch and she was wearing my fye from tsubasa and me her sesshomaru from inuyasha. There was a small fire at the con on saturday it was windy and cold outside XD', it was a fun convention, but in general I had a bit less fun than 2015. (duh its even year omen!) but still had enough fun to go back next year and yeah it will be a odd number year.

then work,work, work and cosplay rush to finish what is left of yuuko. We decided to go to nadeshicon to try again since we didn't do Ganime. It was not in my plan to go, but we had to so I took days off. it was such an horrible convention for me... there was big communication problem,drama and other problem I wont mention. And people spreading rumor that made me in a very bad mood and almost broke one my friendship etc etc etc in short I hated it. Friday no cosplay, saturday yuuko and sunday chuchu again. ( I also got sick there -A-'')

because of that weekend tought I had to change world cosplay summit partner, because we saw that it didn't work well together for many reason, we talk and everything is okay now, but no wcs together.  What is worst tought is people back stab me telling the weekend was horrible all by my fault and that I am the only one in the problem, wich is not, but Im use to be pointed and accuse and that people spread rumor on me.

and then friend and people who know kinda what happen that weekend ( but not know my version) will still talk in my back this is the worst part of it.

for 1 week I had close my facebook, sadness, hate and full of unheatly emotion was starting to flow in my mind. I got better and open it back after the one week schedule. but sadly im getting slowly back in that mood so thinking of closing it back again.

to not repoduce nadeshicon problem\drama, I decided to start working on my otakuthon cosplay so I wont have to cry my life during summer. I got a power motivation for about 2 weeks, and now its already dying XD'', that why im starting early, exhaustion, moods, time, etc.

I am suppose to go to comic con montreal and wear Tiffany from bride of chucky, finish my isis cosplay and do one of the flight attendant in the fifth element movie.... but right now im currently wondering if I still want to go, a side of me is like I want to see people and the other side is like I dont want to see anyone anymore, another is like but I need to start my costume or finish them and another one is like what is the point to it... everyone will bitch everything you make or do anyway, its been the circle of life since 2012. A part of me want to be happy and loved and the other part want to cry and run away far away from my country and never go back.

in short yes I am in a terrible mood hahaha if you didn't understand already

otakuthon there was also some change in schedule. Friday and saturday still are the same but I have drop the clow card group on sunday for many personal reason. So i'll be doing a solo cosplay that I keep secret, because its not something people are use to see me wear or do, and I don't want the same speech of what I don't see you do this, it doesn't fit you, you will never be able to do it, because yes I often get that speech unfortunatly.

so obviously with all the accumulation of all this, that why I wasn't much here on DA like before. I probably won't be much more during the summer, but my mood qcan change day by day, so we will see.

You will still see cosplay picture since there is still some plan, but so far I have no cosplay photoshoot plan for this summer, if yes they probably be solo exept for convention.

sorry for that depressing post but some people need to understand that not everyone is strong like them and that talking in the back of people is just mean and can destroy one person estime even more than it was, especially when its not new. I wich it was going back like my first cosplay years when everyone was happy and not judgmental. Cosplay community just got really bad for the worst. It all became of how popular you are! one person do something oh its okay its her, the other do the same and look at her how stupid of her. you do one mistake and everyone is on your back. You get in a fight\conflict\drama and if you are less popular its all your fault not hers because she is perfect.

anyway I will stop here XD'' I could go on for long and long and write a book. Sorry for my depressing post but putting it out of my heart make me feel a bit better, a weight less. because now people know what I think and feel. Im tired to play the strong vampy , when inside im not.


also I will not accept any means comment and some people know who they are. if you do I'll block you here too.

also sorry for my bad english yet again.

Well damn it!

4 min read
Yes, well damn it!!

I wasn't so active lately and I will be even less because of yesterday....

So to resume everything I got 2 jobs at the same time.

One during day most of the week if not all week long in a party shop and now its the halloween rush that will decided if we will stay open or close down. So since lots of the employee have school the ones who don't work in morning before until 17h. At least it will calm down after halloween and I will have less hour... but I don't know if they will need to fired me or not because of budget or something....

Second job I work in a hotel at night during weekend. So 23h to 7 am. And I sometime work at the other place 2 hour after 8D' my weekend are kinda rough on my system. But like I say after halloween everything will be better for schedule.


Saying that, having 2 job make it harder for me to work on cosplay and to go to convention or cosplay event in general and I need to keep the main one that where already plan or a quick trip to montreal since it's the closest main city from where I live, but rarely.

I did do Nozomi tojou from love live in her ghost version non idolize with my friend as Eli for halloween and a suprise maki. But I didn't even finish to post old picture yet XD'''

what make it even more complicated now and make it a '' well damn it''  ... yesterday I got a water problem in my room and my wall are all full of mold now. Since yesterday water is still dripping in a bucket and we need to destroy the wall between my room and the washing room (where we wash clothe) and maybe even the bathroom (wich we did newly renovate a few month ago... not even one year yet). To make the renovation I will need to empty my room completly... that mean my computer is going out too... where all my picture are... So I will not be able to post unless we find a way to plug it to the internet in another room of the house XD'. And this may be go on for a few week until everything is newly done and no more mold and tralala.

I will still post sometime on my cosplay page on facebook : www.facebook.com/visuvampy/?fr…; since it's easier to post with my cellphone there than on DA

I hope everything will be ok before december 8D''' its not cool working with the heavy snow here in canada. Until December I should be able to finish 2 other cosplay
chuchu from show by rock with :iconsimakai: as my retoree
Isis from puzzle and dragon second evolution.

so that mostly about it. I will give news when I will come back or have acces to a decent computer with my picture and all. It's so frustrating to have this happen few days before halloween ;A; my favorite celebration and I'll have to work more than half my day.

At least with my work and all I can now buy myself some expensive stuff I really want. I just did my first big expense and bought a new 3DS to play 3ds game and all the upcoming one  <3

FIRST!! BEWARE LONG POST AGAIN XD!! 2 CONVENTION

Summer end because school start soon for many!  Me and my family are thinking of sending me back to school to study something else but we are not quite sure what would I go study.

As for the rest of summer who is in the past and since my last journal. Thing didn't go quite as planned XD'''

First for the 2 summer shoot!  We did start my caster cosplay but the date was coming closer and in the end I didn't have enough white and pink fabric to finish the top XD'' and we hadn't start the mini short. So instead I put on a bikini version of nozomi from love live, but not an official one since we didn't have much time. But yes I don't like my body XD' you can see it because I am wearing mini shorts and a jacket and open it up a little and that was why the caster version with the jacket and mini short was perfect. When I'll lose weight and be more confident well this is funny to say but I will do more sexy cosplay XD'' until then I will do what I usually do.

For fye it did happen for the shoot :P! but my staff broke in the middle of it ;A; thank you for your year of service and going to quebec, montreal,laval and gatineau with me so many time! At least I have beautiful picture with it before it was destroy XD' There was summer Ganime who was 1 week after that shoot so I did my best to repair it. but it broke there again XD'' and I was entering the mascarade with it 8D' because my coat was finaly finish. So I had to do my skit with out it XD' and suprise I won a presentation prize making me a Journeyman! was not especting it but made me happy hahaha. I was making the name that tune and draw me something there XD. Name that tune I need to change the way it is a bit because the random buttons was making play all the clamp at the begenning and some hard old thing XD' the draw me something didn't go as planned 8D''' we didn't get our white board so participant had to draw on normal paper sheet XD' it was hard to show to the public but we still had fun.


Now it's Otakuthon 2015 time!! thing also didn't go as planned.

FRIDAY!
First we didn't do the world cosplay summit me and my teammates had to back down for personnal reason. So i put on my Nozomi chinese dress agin because it was love live day for many XD and didn't have time to do a new one because of my saturday cosplay (I had a hotel room because of it this year hahaha) got there late but not late enough to miss the Angela concert! It was amazing <3 she play all my favorite song and some new that I will probably go check soon enough! Funny part at the end they told us if you want you can stay in the room for the world cosplay summit because the concert had finish later than planned. So me and my friend we're like awwww yeah! and went in the first row close to stage where we had a good view where we didn't need the screen to see well ( unless you wanted a close up to see the detail then look at the screen) 
Then I go back to the room and finish yet again the best I could my saturday cosplay (its not new XD') with my group and for the mascarade

SATURDAY!!
Wich is!! since it was a suprise! LA MUERTE!!!! From the movie the book of life :)  ( a picture someone else took and put on DA maripier photographie)

Book of Life group at Otakuthon 2015 by MaripierPhotographie

I was la muerte and my friend where grandma sanchez (yes we had the grandma!) manolo and maria :) we where entry number 66 for the mascarade in journeyman since I had won not long ago at summer ganime. Our costume was a succes XD' we had to stay at least 1 hour at that spot because people kept on coming to take picture. Until I had enough because I was missing sleep and the hat was getting heavy when staying on place so long. It was hard to move in it I have to make my hole to walk bigger XD'.  I got at the con really late because the make up took really long to make. Thank you for :iconmagias:  that made all our make up! she have lots of talents :). So my saturday wasn't alot since my movement where really slow but still had fun and was happy by the reaction of everyone who was suprise by my cosplay since it was a secret and people where saying how much they love our cosplay and all it made my day.

after that go back to the hotel made a small shoot but end quickly because my hat fell down since it was getting hard to keep it so long on my head with out hurting. Normaly I can toff it really longer but I was so tired XD' but still took a shower and went to take a bubble tea with 2 friends of my room. We had so much fun and in 30 min we had 2 running gag started because hahaha montreal street in chinatown at night and the weird people and thing :P! Then sleep and tralala.

SUNDAY!!
We had to leave earlier than we tought and all it was hell with my muerte cosplay to stock it in the room until the night since I was taking an elevator almost by myself and they where always full. took almost 2 hours :\ got late to my favorite panel, the name that tunes because I had to go to the weapon check and because I had forgot my cellphone at the table and had to go back XD'. I was suppose to be esdese from akame ga kill but I had problem with it and with la muerte taking all my time I didn't finish it. So I rewear the one I made at friday of katsucon 2015 and while other friend where making eiyuu senki too, so I was Columbus from eiyuu senki. Then there was the FLOW concert <3! 2 japanese concert for 15$ I had to and 2 that I love! It was amazing with so much hype even tough I got there late and where more in the back than angela. Then go to the award ceremony for the mascarade. My team where stressing hahaha when earing thing that could have been us but wasn't hahaha but then we heard our number when we where loosing hope! Entry number 66 best problem solver. I got my first journeyman prize with my friends :o at otakuthon! ( I can't wear la muerte again if I don't enter her in artisan XD' so maybe later I'll rewear her for a mascarade) it was for workmanship and then we heard our number again for the presentation categorie but for an honorable mention for story telling. yeah! I was proud of me and my friends and my daddy was too! (and was hopping to win a price so my daddy won't be mad XD')  Then dealer room for me for the last hour to buy my friend birthday gift and see what they had this year. This year I some how spent more in 1 hour than I did last 2 year weekends XD'' must be because I have a job and didn't have time to say I'll come back later maybe, i will think about it.  Then bit of chilling and tradionnal after-con supper at the st-hubert :)!! this is how my convention end haha

Tough we had to stay at the hotel waiting for my dad XD it was fun chilling with the door man of the parking hahaha I ask him question about getting to work in hotel and happily and gently answer my question! All my respect to him! hope to maybe see him next year for some other chilling if we go to the same hotel XD.


So now we are getting in the futur! I have many cosplan (somehow) I think I will cancel kurama from yu yu hakusho and tsukuyo from gintama for this year and make them next autumn. I have the donten ni warau shoot and the quinte mini con that added up for this year convention. There is also Ganime and Katsucon close to one ech other I have to attend (and want to so baddly XD) and then maybe anime boston and then Otakuthon.

And yes next year I will surely do the world cosplay summit :)! not with the same partner tough since we wasn't able to find something that fit both our personality and taste :(! With my new partner we have choose a project to work on and do the mascarade for ganime 2016 to see how we work together and cosplay CV to send but I am keeping it suprise I love suprise lately XD'! and for the real thing for the wcs we have narrowed it down to 2 idea that we are still trying to see wich is better XD! well I think we are still not sure hahaha we are giving idea of fabric, presentation of skit on stage, wig and all for both but we are like but we need to choose only one XD'' this is so haarrrddd we love them bothhhhh  uuurrrggg.

So I don't know when i'll have other news maybe in november after quinte mini con! until then I will try to process the older shoot I didn't post yet XD' la muerte took lots of my time with work.


Until next time!! and sorry for my bad english again XD' and for the long post 8D'
