"Being a star is so exhausting! But I'll always make time for you, Sebas-chan!"

So here is it, the long anticipated, long overdue pictures of my Circus Grell costume. Good lord was this a costume a labor of love. 22,000 sequence, in the chainsaw on my shoulders and the vest all hand sewn. All of the black work on the cuffs, and in the lining of thorny roses and vines were hand painted. The coat was custom made, the hat as well, I even hand made the broach (that you can't see in this pic). the diamonds on the pants made me want to scream. This costume took me 6 months of intensive labor to make, probably in excess of 600-800 hours of solid work. But in the end it was all worth it. This costume was made to remind me to love myself, and to show that I can do anything I really set my heart on.

I need to put up a couple of special thank yous to this. The biggest one goes out to *RedYume. She helped me so much in so many ways. By giving me suggestions, like to paint the lining, by helping me select the fabric for my tail coat, as well as doing circus Sebastian along with me, and going so far as to participate in the Yaoi-con Masquerade where we went on to win best group costume. The skit 'Butler in the limelight', never would have happened without her.

So I tip my hat to RedYume, the finest Grell a fellow Grell could ever ask for, and one of the best friends I've ever had.

I also want to thank everyone who encouraged me, and cheered me on and gave critiques like *Aoi-Ninja, *Bkitten ~ThunderEmperorRaite ~AntiquityDreams and =supernovadobe (Thanks for breathing in the same room as my costume Naru! XDD)

Lastly a big thank you for all the people who stopped me at cons wanting pictures or asked me how I made things. It makes me feel incredible when I get noticed for my hard work.

Thank you all for your support, your friendship, your time and your patience!

Yep - I knew I've seen it before. Dear lord it looks amazing though!! So fantastic and just bursting with details originality and ideas. Like the chansaw for instance - wow - and I truly admire people with such immense talent to creat stuff like that. Plus it truly does look like it could fit into the circus arc if the manga as well as all the time line. Your imagination is mindblowing. You really have to look at it to get it though - a common glance won't do the effect. Which is sad, because that's what most people do. I love your buttons too btw!! And these little golden chains - I salute you, Respect:)


Oh and Great facial expression.
