Oh man, I’m really sorry again guys! I just don’t have time to blog for the upcoming weeks, because I’m busy working on my cosplays and I’ve become addicted to 2 games, Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead 2, I’m on geek mode now, haha! But if you want to play with me, just add ‘Taretrash’ on Steam and I’ll see you there! Futher more, I don’t have any inspiration to blog about, it’s just cosplay, cosplay, cosplay, I want to blog something else for a change.. but yeah! So please forgive me for the 308571th time!

Oh man, I’m finally done with the cardboard base! It took me around 87 hours in total for this piece of cardboard house.. But it was totally worth it! I still need to fix some little parts but 99,999999% is done!!

For the next stage, I already bought fiber glass and bondo to smooth and make the cardboard stronger. Then I’m going to spray everything with paint, adding the latest details and I’m done! 6 weeks to go… time is running!

I soooo wanna have this!! Oh, my, god. These leggings looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! The only damage is of course in your wallet, this baby costs about $75 AUD with $12,50 AUD shipping to Dutchland, but I think I gonna buy this next week, because I WANT IT!

You can get your own at BlackMilk ! They sell other galaxy/nebula/stars leggings and other kind of clothes, really cool shop, but it’s kinda expensive, but worth looking and drooling!

As you could see at the title, I’ve got myself a white Iphone 4s! Let me explain this first, I’m NOT the biggest Apple fan on the world. I think their products are super overpriced, yes they look awesome, but for 500 euros I’ve got a 2x more powerfull computer than an iMac, so yeah. Anyway, Iphone are expensive too, in The Netherlands you’ll get your phone for free if you pay minimum price of 45 euros per month with a subscription. But I’ve got a deal with my provider (Hi) to pay with a discount of 50% in my first year and full price in my second year.

The average bill will be around 35 euros a month, so that’s cheap, and I got an Iphone for free (well, it’s a lease). So yeah, that was my reason to take an Iphone. I know there are a lot of people who dislikes the Iphone (Apple products in general), I did too. But some friends convinced me to take the 4S. So I’ve got it for 3 days and I starting to like this phone. I haven’t used Itunes yet to put music on my phone, because I hate Itunes and I use Winamp for my Ipod, so I’ll use my Ipod instead. Time to order a bunch of accessoires lol!

Sorry for the bad quality photo, heh! And second sorry for slacking again, aargh! Recently I’m busy with my cosplays and started my newest addiction, playing Team Fortress 2. So yeah.. the post.

A few weeks ago I went to Media Markt and found my 3 most favorite Ghibli movies and Ghost in The Shell. All of them were 5 euros except for Howl’s Moving Castle, that one was.. 7 or 8 euros. Anyway, I haven’t seen all Ghibli movies yet, but I’m so in love with the storylines, details and animation, it’s amazing and I can watch these movies for days! But if I had to choose one of these Ghibli movies, it would be Howl’s Moving Castle! I still got the cinema ticket (2005) from that movie!

Ghost in The Shell is also one of my most favorite anime movies, I had this movie on VHS 16 YEARS ago! I watched this movie when I was 4 years old, I didn’t understand Japanese or whatever, but I loved it! I’m also planning to cosplay Motoko Kusanagi (main character) of Ghost in The Shell, don’t know which outfit yet, but it will be a nice one!

Did you watch a Ghibli movie, if so which one is your favorite?

So it’s been a while since I made a update! But I’ve been working so hard that I ALMOST finished the base of this cosplay, hooooray! I can’t see cardboard anymore, I’m through with it, aargh!!

So after the chest part I made in 005, I made the back, the jetpack, like I call it. I think the back side is still too big, so I guess I gonna make it smaller.

And here is my gun! That one was really easy to make, just sketching the design on cardboard, cut it out and make layers, et voila!

And I kinda finished my shoulders, need to figure out how to put this on my torso.. but the arm parts are done!

Hey there! Within a few hours I’m going to meet up with the girls from Sparkling Potpourri at Gorinchem! We’re going to serve food and drinks at the Stripdagen (comic fair) at Gorinchem this weekend! I’m super excited because Sparkling Potpourri is not just a regular girl group, but these girls are a maid cafe group! They have these really cute selfmade outfits and they’re so much fun and nice! They also have their own cafe at some conventions like Abunai and Animecon, so whenever you visit those cons, please come over and take some nomnom!
I’m going to help these girls, because someone couldn’t come. And maybe, if I like it, I will join the team! So MAYBE you’ll see me at  Abunaicon this year! I picked up the outfit from the girl who couldn’t come and it fits perfectly! How does it look?

Yesterday I decided to make a (fan)page of my cosplay and stuff, Tare’ Cosplay! So I keep you guys updated about my own cosplays and some inspirational cosplay stuff. I wil def. update things on my blog as well, but I’ll use my FB page more in the future, so please take a look and like it!

My dear friend Nicolas gave me these lovely moustache items as a gift! Thank you so much! It’s super cute and I love moustache items! You know me so well, haha! I’ve got a tote bag, socks, paperclips, little container and a mug. If you wonder where you can buy these stuff, Tiger DK!

♥ One Piece
It’s been a long time since I’ve been watching anime. For a couple of months I’ve been watching One Piece, a populair anime around the world, which is still running (manga too!), it’s a story about Luffy who wants to be the Pirate King, he also ate a devil fruit which makes him a rubber man! Together with his ‘nakama’ (crew/friends/family) he travels around the world and face with many enemies! I’m so in love with this anime! Such a big adventure! My favorite characters are Brook (skeleton) and Chopper (reindeer). I watch the series online at WatchOP.com.

♥ Dr. Mario
At work we have a hacked Xbox (the old one). It also has a SNES emulator and most of the time I always play Tetris against my collegues. But since my boss introduced me to Dr. Mario (from Tetris & Dr. Mario) I AM HOOKED! Damn this puzzle game is so hard but so addicting! I think it almost equal (difficulty) as Puyo Puyo. I’ve got an emulator on my PC too (not that hard to find and install) and I have 2 USB controllers for my emulator, so I can play like I’m playing the game on a real console. I already defeated the computer at medium lvl 20! I’m trying to master all the hard levels. You should try too!

♥ Pastel colored clothes
It’s pastel season this spring and summer! I loooove it! Many stores are stocking pastel colored clothes and the style is some what.. 80′s/90′s. But there are also some pretty pastel basics and simple casual clothes. Well, I guess I gonna spend my next paycheck on some pretty pastels!
