I am on an epic editing roll tonight, I just finished up 4 shoots worth of photos

Rinoa was actually the very character I wanted to cosplay, and it's taken me about 9 years to work up the courage to do her >.< FF8 was the first RPG game I ever played and I've been hooked on the Final Fantasy series since then. Over the years I've kinda grown out of characters like Rinoa, nowadays I mostly just find them annoying ^^" But somehow Rinoa's managed to wiggle her way into my heart and stay there~

To my team~ thank you guys so much for doing this with me, especially to aly and K since you girls were rushing for WCS. It's really a cosplay dream come true being about to cos Rinoa with a full (and very hawt) FF8 team! ILU all <3 <3 <3

Thank you ~ashteyz for trying to help me with my weapon even though I ended up doing it myself and Louise for helping me cut out foam feathers for my Shooting Star~ Thank you ~PumpkinWin for helping me paint on the wings pattern at the back, wouldn't have managed to finish on time if it wasn't for you guys <3
