00:00Hey guys, it's Lita. So, um, sorry, it's been kind of a while since I posted a video. Um, I've
00:06been doing a
00:07crap ton of writing and
00:10also have been in California visiting my friends and family
00:15So that's where I am right now
00:17See, cool outdoor kitchen. Whoa
00:20Anyway, so um
00:23There's a bug
00:24Is it in my hair?
00:26Um, but the point of this video is
00:28Uh, it's
00:30I don't know. Okay. Um, the point of this video is
00:34Uh, it's, it's pretty rare that I go to, um
00:38And conventions are like gatherings and stuff
00:41Um, gatherings
00:44However, I'm going to a convention this weekend
00:47Um, maybe you can guess
00:50It is Anime Expo
00:52And I'm super excited because it's been super long time since I've been to Anime Expo
00:57The last time that I went to Anime Expo, I was probably about 19
01:01Um, and it was really, really fun
01:04And my cosplays weren't all that great
01:07I mean, I had just had like three
01:11mediocre cosplays
01:12But this time around, um, I'm actually doing something that I haven't done before
01:17Um, and that's what this video is about
01:20Because I wanted to show you guys my costume
01:22So that, one
01:23You guys can see it
01:25And two
01:25So that if you go to Anime Expo
01:27You can find me
01:28Because, um
01:30It's a pretty specific looking cosplay
01:32Or costume
01:34Um, and it's actually one of my own original characters
01:37Because, uh, like I said at the beginning of this, uh, video
01:41I've been writing a book for quite a while now
01:46It's the first book in a fantasy novel
01:48I mean, in a fantasy series
01:49Um, and
01:53So I'm going as one of the biggest characters in the series
01:59Which is, um, her name is Oserin
02:01Um, it's spelled like O-S-C-E-R-I-N
02:05Um, and she's like
02:08Um, the moon goddess, basically
02:10Uh, because there's just like a lot of
02:13There's like ten goddesses that are all
02:16Um
02:18Like nature and
02:21Intangible things oriented
02:22Um, so like time, for example
02:24Um
02:26And so she's the goddess of the moon
02:28And, um
02:30Then there's like
02:31Twelve gods
02:33Which are all, uh, animal related
02:35And they're like zodiac signs, sort of
02:37Anyway, so
02:39Oserin is the goddess of the moon
02:40And she's one of the three greater divines
02:42In my
02:44Book universe series
02:45Um
02:47And
02:48Without a doubt
02:49The most important
02:51Uh
02:51Of deities in this universe
02:54Right now
02:54Or this storyline
02:56Um
02:57So
02:57I decided to go as Oserin
02:59Um
02:59It's not 100% accurate
03:01My costume
03:02Because
03:02There are a couple things
03:04I would have to get custom made
03:06Um
03:06Contact lenses being one of them
03:08And I'm like the palest person in the world
03:10But she has dark skin
03:11So
03:11I'm just gonna go
03:12With my
03:13Skin
03:14Um
03:14Then luckily she has white hair
03:16So
03:18Yeah
03:19Cool
03:19Um
03:21I'll just show you guys my
03:23Costume
03:24Because it's pretty cool
03:25I think
03:25Um
03:26I actually made it in
03:30Less than a
03:31Much less than a week
03:32I started on
03:35Friday night
03:36So
03:37Friday
03:38Saturday
03:39Sunday
03:40Monday
03:40Tuesday
03:41Wednesday
03:41So six days
03:43Wait
03:44It was just a really last minute costume
03:46Because
03:47Um
03:48I wasn't originally going to go to Anime Expo
03:51This year
03:52Uh
03:52I actually didn't even know when it was
03:54Until last week
03:55Um
03:57And then
03:57I decided to go
03:58And
04:00Threw together a costume
04:01Uh
04:02For one of my own characters
04:04Cause
04:06I think that's cool
04:07So
04:08Um
04:09I'll put on my costume now
04:10And
04:11You guys can have like a first look at
04:14A somewhat accurate depiction
04:16Of one of my original characters
04:18Which is
04:19Oserrin
04:19The goddess of the moon
04:20And she's like
04:21A badass
04:22Mom
04:23Magical girl
04:25So
04:26Yeah
04:27Okay
04:28Well
04:28I'm gonna put on my costume then
04:30Hi guys
04:31So
04:31Here is the top part of the costume
04:34Um
04:35I honestly don't know if it's focused
04:37And I can't tell
04:37Because I can't really see
04:39All that clearly
04:40Through these contact lenses
04:42Um
04:43I've never worn contact lenses
04:45Like this before
04:46And these just came in the mail
04:47Like
04:48A couple hours ago
04:49So
04:50Um
04:50Anyway
04:51So
04:52Here's the top part of my costume
04:55Um
04:55With my little hood
04:57And stuff
04:58And then
05:00All of this
05:01Let me see if I can
05:02Get a better
05:04Yeah
05:05Don't you love all this
05:07No tripod business
05:08Um
05:09So
05:11It's just a lot of fabric
05:12Sewn together
05:14Wee
05:15What I basically did
05:17Was
05:20Took a bra
05:22And then
05:22Sewed
05:23Sewed
05:24Sewed
05:24This onto it
05:24And this
05:25And this
05:26So there's three pieces
05:29Sewed onto this
05:30Bra
05:30And then
05:32Some jewels
05:32Which actually
05:33This is wrong
05:34Oh there's a jewel right here
05:36And then
05:38The same jewel is down here
05:39And the same design of beads
05:41Is down here
05:42Sewed to some underwear
05:43With a loincloth
05:45And
05:46These
05:47Are connected to my cloak
05:50Um
05:52Which is literally just
05:53A bunch of cloth
05:55Uh
05:56Put together
05:57And then the hood was made
06:00Um
06:00With
06:01Cloth again
06:02And pipe cleaners
06:04So that it stays
06:05Out of my face
06:06Cause
06:08Um
06:09So there's like pipe cleaners
06:10Sewed into here
06:11Yeah
06:13Um
06:14Cause before it was just
06:15Drooping down into my face
06:16And then the same thing
06:17Was pretty much done with
06:19The
06:19Um
06:19Mask
06:21Uh
06:22It's like
06:23I don't know if you can see it
06:26It's literally just cloth
06:29Sewed to
06:30With elastic into it
06:32And so there's elastic
06:33Like
06:33Lining this part
06:35Into my chin
06:37Um
06:39I'm trying to think of what else
06:41The hood looks really cool
06:42From the back
06:45Please stay
06:46If this falls
06:47I'm gonna be sad
06:48So
06:49The hood looks like this
06:50In the back
06:51It's really cool
06:52You know
06:54Whatevs
06:56A
06:56So
06:57Yeah
06:58This is my costume
06:59And there's actually like
07:00I have some like
07:01Gladiator looking sandals
07:02That are like black
07:03Um
07:04That I'm gonna be wearing
07:05That tie up to my
07:06Knees
07:07Um
07:09But
07:10That's
07:11That's pretty much it
07:14Unfortunately
07:14I didn't have time for a weapon
07:15Which sucks
07:16Because she uses like
07:17A giant
07:18Chakram
07:18That's like
07:19Looks like a moon
07:20Which would have been cool
07:21But
07:22Um
07:23Frankly
07:23I don't want to go through
07:24Weapons Trek
07:25And
07:26Frankly
07:27I
07:27Had less than a week
07:29To make this costume
07:30So
07:30Um
07:31Yeah
07:32I also made this
07:34My friend
07:35Kat and I
07:35Made this whole costume
07:37She did most of the sewing
07:39So thank you Kat
07:40My
07:41My sewing baby
07:42Um
07:43We made this necklace too
07:45This is like a huge part of
07:47Uh
07:48The story
07:49Which is called
07:49Moon collars by the way
07:51Um
07:53Is this necklace
07:54It's called the
07:55Felasteel
07:56And it's supposed to represent
07:58Or look like a crying eye
07:59Sort of
08:00So like this is the
08:02Outer part of the eye
08:03The iris
08:03And then a tear
08:04So
08:05That's an original design
08:07That I'm
08:08Took me a while
08:09To come up with
08:10But
08:10I luckily
08:11Was able to find some charms
08:13To make it look cool
08:14So
08:14Yeah
08:16I hope you guys like it
08:17It is pretty cool
08:18For like
08:18Something I made in a
08:19Less than a week
08:21I guess
08:22And I don't
08:22I don't really
08:23Sew ever
08:24Or make costumes
08:26Ever
08:27So
08:28I think it looks pretty cool
08:30I guess
08:31So yeah
08:32If you see me at Anime Expo
08:34I'm gonna look like this
08:36Most of the days
08:37Um
08:38I think there might be like
08:39One day
08:40Maybe the last day
08:41Where I'm not in cosplay
08:43Um
08:45But
08:46Yeah
08:46Anytime that you see
08:48Me walking around
08:49I'll look like this
08:50Probably
08:51And
08:52You can come up
08:53And we can take some pics
08:54And stuff
08:55Or whatever
08:56And yeah
08:57Yay
