Alright, the last few weeks were kind of overwhelming. So many things have changed, Christmas and New Year's Eve passed by, and I made some purposes for 2012. Besides become a ham radio operator, I would like to finally learn to ride a bicycle (a traumatic event in my childhood spoiled this, but I am willed to overcome it).
You may already...

Winter is the best time of the year. Though it is foggy and way to warm for November over here in Germany (yesterday we had about 15°C), we are only a few days away from the first advent sunday, and our home is already decorated (thanks to my wife, who cannot seem to wait).

But winter is the best time in another aspect. There are almost no...

So you all know the expression "When hell freezes over", right?
Okay, so I was thinking "Rather hell freezes over than my wife (yes we are finally married) is supporting me thoroughly."

The following lines shouldn't be read by prejudging and/or intolerant people. You have been warned!

Well, we finally agreed that I am...

A few days ago, I got a call from a friend of mine, who is a promoter of a local con. He told me some more, yet secret details about the next con in 2012.
The only thing that I can remember quite vividly was the next con's slogan.

After a long struggle, my girlfriend is finally accepting my desire to crossplay.
If you wonder, how this could happen in this little time, let me tell you the story:

I was looking for a way to tell her, that crossplay has nothing to do with the gender or the sexual identity for most of the crossplayers (of course, there are some exceptions, also...

You never know how things turn out! Really, and I'm not talking about
the way of assembling a costume.
You know, the last time, we worked hand in hand. But what if is not just a "skin tight body suit that gets you aroused, right honey?" (No, it's not arousal, but excitation!)
What if it is a REAL crossplay? Well...back...

Well, I have to admit, I became weak.
Actually, I'm quite a fighter in terms of my own plans and visions, but as you can imagine, sometimes it's better to compromise. This time has come NOW!

After my latest discussion with my fiancee, I decided to let go of my plans. Not only because I wanted to put these discussions to an end, but...

So, after 4 years of inner disunity, I finally made up my mind to do my first crossplay. Though Merle is still on my to do list (and actually on my "currently work in progress" list), I postponed it for a very good reason.

In the last week of the last year, I recieved a message that THE series for all crossplayers will be most likely...

Alright, I reset this blog, because I didn't like my previous entries.

My way into the world of crossplay was actually pretty ordinary.
I did my first cosplay about five years ago. It was a very easy thing, and I don't thing anyone knew that I dressed up as Shinji Ikari from Evangelion. However, this was my first cosplay ever. I...
