Description Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.

WHY ARE YOU SO COOL MR. KITTY CAT /sob ;__;

My first photo from Fanime 2011 ^^ The Baron from 'The Cat Returns'.

Ok...this is going to be a novel.....

This is one of my favourite movies and I always thought the idea of cosplaying from a Ghibli film would be really enchanting; however I didnt really have a huge drive to do any cosplays. I mentioned to ~sumikins who has done a few Ghibli cosplays that she should watch this film and then she agreed to cosplay Haru for me if I were to cosplay the Baron with her~ I have to thank her for her enthusiasm as I dont know when I would have gotten around to this otherwise.

I essentially made the entire cosplay the afternoon/evening before Fanime I finished up the tail coat > packed my bags > and then drove to the airport lol OTL Nevertheless it all came out decently. Thanks to Ghibli's very basic and simple designs I patterned the vest myself and altered my basic uniform coat pattern for the tailcoat.
I have to send my thanks to Choby of *Miko-Style who I forced graciously helped me out with a lot, specifically the bow tie, fitting, and painting the damned top hat =__=

I had originally planned to do TWO makeup tests before the con to make sure I knew what I was doing. If you know me then you realize the next thing Im going to say is that I never did the tests and just winged it all the morning of XDD; I like how it turned out, I used this youtube tutorial for reference . But there are definitely aspects I want to change if I ever wear this cosplay again.

We are cosplaying from the Studio Ghibli Animated feature "The Cat Returns"

Baron Humbert von Gikkingen:

Haru: the very adorable

Photo: Thanks EBK!~

I love the way your hair is spiked to form the ear and you aren't just wearing fake ears!! So awesome! and you must be awesome at sewing to create all that; I barely managed to sew Totoro-esque features onto a hoodie I already bought XD
