Bragging rights

I don't think I've talked about this much here, but kidunit is into cosplay (costume+play = cosplay). These days mostly for video games, but also some anime and in one very recent instance, American TV (House!). I lend a hand with fitting, hand-sewing (ulnar nerve compression makes it hard for kidunit to do much of that) and whatnot. I think the costumes are pretty damned amazing, if I do say so myself. Anyway, I posted a couple of the House cosplay pix on a tight filter a few days ago because I wasn't sure if it was okay to show them publically, but I got permission to post a few more cosplay pix in my gallery at large so as to show off. :) Gallery is here: http://pics.livejournal.com/kelliem/gallery/00010kfw

The House pix are especially amusing, but Cloud Strife is my favorite, I think. (see below for a teaser)

Ah, student creativity

This snow sculpture appeared in the courtyard next to my building this morning. Clearly some students were busy last night, using our recent snowfall to commemorate their usual evening activities. ;D




(In case you can't quite see it, it's a naked man upchucking. He has the school initials 'tattooed' on his arm. You can't see it from this angle, but there's a #1 'tattooed' on his back as well.) Unfortunately his other hand, presumably with a finger raised, had melted by the time I got to work and took this picture.
