Last weekend I attended the N.Y.C. Sakura Matsuri 2012. I have been going to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens since I was a baby. (True facts!) My parents made a tradition with all the siblings to take us on easter. The little tradition was to take a picture of usnext to the koi ponds. But I have been attending the Sakura Matsuri since 2003. Sometimes I go in cosplay sometimes I make a kimono.

For 3 years now they have been having a Cosplay Fashion Show. I got picked to be in it for the 3rd time in a row. I decided to wear my Rose Bride Utena dress. Which I thought would be appropriate for the gardens. Too bad though that the cherry blossoms died... My group got there late so I didnt get a real chance to hang out before I went on stage.

In the dressing room we got to take our time into changing into our outfits. I will say that it is is crazy to see people transform from normal into crazy costumes! I started with my costumes now wearing fake nails. I admit I am a nail bitter and my nails always look like crap and one of the things I am never happy about when I see my photos.

This year was the least stressful of the fashion show. I did get to eat some yummy asian snacks and drink sake while I was there. But the experience would have been even better if we got there earlier. (Someone delayed us in going and the kid didnt even show up...)

Next event I will be hitting up is the Steampunk Worlds Fair!
