Extra updates
Added a new section of pictures from Photoworld Asia, taken by Kat moonlightflight! Hope our dorky antics cheer you up somehow! And I'm really sorry it's taking me so long to respond to comments and notes! Been unbelievably busy! I'll get to them soon!
Aaand I should be studying or sleeping right now but Miguel posted new artwork and I just HAD to feature it here. Flippin' amazing. I was floored.
Miguel, you're my best friend and all, but sometimes I just gotta hate you.
Jennaris does it again!
How will we ever thank you for the honor of having your adorable artwork dedicated to us???
Sorry I keep updating. Here, I offer you some brain damage for the trouble.
(click to watch video)We have a dream. It is to recreate this video when we do Ranma 1/2 cosplay. Tuxedo Team video production! We're definitely deranged enough to do this.
Naruto: Shippuuden
More information about the trial photoshoot HERE.
Photoworld Asia 2008
Though we still haven't quite finished up our Shippuuden costumes, we wore them to Photoworld Asia just to costrip for the lulz and check out the camera stuff at the event, as well as the cosplayers who were actually competing. Saw a lot of old friends (a lot of whom I delivered a thousand years of pain to, using my kunai) and met new people. There was a relatively small number of participants, but that also gave us a chance to interact with people more.

photo by Herson Moneda yuber19Older versions of what used to be Team 7, at least.
Damn you, Sasuke.photo by Jake Amora kjaexI can't believe we got that sword past mall security.
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14This is a bit blurry, but at least the mall lighting wasn't as bad as it usually is during cons.
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14Oh hey, I have a kunai now.
photo by Jake Amora kjaexWe should to the Distance OP shot properly for the next shoot.
photo by Herson Moneda yuber19I saw my older self (Rokudaime Hokage Naruto semi-original cosplay) doing a Rasengan onstage.
photo by Herson Moneda yuber19And there was Gibs
Gibs05 who was amazing as always.
photo by Herson Moneda yuber19Suddenly, a Teletubby.
Those things terrify me.
photo by Kar VictorianoGotta say though, the stage lighting was really well done.
photo by Kar VictorianoAha, it's Gabe
sanman2006 hentai-senpai as Naked Snake!
photo by Herson Moneda yuber19HAAAADO GEEEEIIIII
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!!!
photo by Kar VictorianoIt's baby Naruto! I wish I could've gotten a photo with him but when I finally found him in the crowd, he was sleeping. Awww.
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14I found ero-sennin, though. We were doing the Jiraiya dance so it came out all blurred.
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14Found some Akatsuki that we met during Hero Con.
Always fun goofing around with these guys. I need to find pictures with Itachi and Tobi (who was a very good boy).
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14What've you got there, Dei-dei?
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14We love Markee! He's known for being Man-captor Sakura (Audience Choice winner last
AME Gakuensai!), Akazukin Cha Cha-man, and Man-Temari, among many others.
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14Can't wait to see his next crossplay!
photo by Herson Moneda yuber19We stalked the Bleach group when we went for a little snack, and they took this picture of us.
photo by Jake Amora kjaexCHIPPENDALE SASUKE WITH A BOW TIE? My face here pretty much shows what I was thinking at the time, which was "I DUNNO LOL"
photo by Jake Amora kjaexPeople were demanding SasuNaru (most of the yells were from our very own Sakura) so we swallowed our pride for just a bit. About two seconds after this photo was taken, Sasuke turned around and pulled of the bow tie. XD
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14Sakura was happy for the SasuNaru moment and hugged her fellow yaoi fangirl Kat
moonlightflight, then suddenly, people started taking pictures of them too. o_O Kat wasn't even cosplaying, haha.
photo by Charmie yaoiangel14WHY DO YOU MAKE US DO THESE THINGS AND WHY DO WE KEEP GIVING IN
photo by Jake Amora kjaexAaand that's all you're getting.
For now. Additional photos from the Tux Team camera
More from the event, pictures taken by Kat moonlightflight!
Hey, Sasuke. Why are YOU in the center? The series is called NARUTO for a reason.
Posing with Rayshi.
Hope the pictures turned out okay!
Aww, Sakura-channnn.
HAAAAADO GEEEEEEEIIIIII NO JUTSU
Please note the sword placement. That HG slays me.
"Naruto, you and Sasuke please?
"Err, okay."
"Could you put your arm on him?"
"...Like this?"
"Good, good. Now how about a kiss?"
"O_o"
"Please?"
"Sasuke... Why are you looking at me like that?"
Everyone settled for a hug, and Sakura was a happy fangirl.
Hey hey, it's Lyron
burikiboy!
And more of Markee the mage.
We're in your malls, ninja-ing in your halls.
Not such a good idea to try to mug Sasuke, believe me.
Kiks
kiksology and his amazing talent at facial expressions.
Why are we doing this again?
I don't understaaaaand. Why do you make us do these things?
Origami lessons with Sakura and Sasuke.
Kat
moonlightflight calls this Sakura's Yaoi Paradise of Origami Animals. Sasuke's crane is kissing Sakura's mini-dinosaur, and Rayson's flower... is apparently eating the snake's tail. I don't understand.
Mints with holes are meant to be played with.
After our snack, we went back to the event venue.

"This gives me an idea. Kukuku~"

OH SHI-
Kakashi-sensei, you're late!
Tuxedo Team Omake!
Kakashi and Sai joined us for dinner, and as always... things got a little crazy. Photos for this section are by Miss Dans littlesailboat. Sorry if parts of our costumes are kinda wonky/missing here. We were more serious about enjoying our food rather than taking proper pictures. XD (We love that place - the food is fantastic and the rooms are lovely but the lighting was a bit tricky. My blue contacts didn't show up as much as they did the last time.)
Oh, and just thought I'd share - when we were being escorted into our room, the kids in the restaurant were looking at us funny, and there was a number who actually recognized us as Naruto characters. There was even this one boy who kept hanging out outside our door (we could see him through the blinds), so we slid it open and said hi and motioned for him to join us if he wanted. He didn't say anything, but took a photo of us with his PSP, showed us the shot and shyly but happily walked away. It was adorable.
Team 7 and other ninjas (in disguise as normal civilians).
"Naruto... your manners, please."
At least it's not as bad as
my food photos from last time.
"Have I surpassed Mangekyou Sharingan yet?"
Rayson
sinag-araw, you seriously creep me out.
Suddenly, a ninja! No, it's the Pope!
Naruto cosplay. Anyone can do it.
See, we're all ninjas here.
Yep, definitely to be feared. Ninja-ing: Serious Business.
Hai thar, Sandra Dans.
Uh-oh...
I should run to save my ass (literally).
Looks like I still fail at cloaking jutsus.
OH SHI-
Bickering with Sai.
Meanwhile, Mr. Emofag was playing with his hair.
You still have duck butt hair, Sasuke.
ZETSUBOU-SENSEI!!!
"I'll die now."
Kiks
kiksology documenting Sakura eating that yellow thing on the onigiri plate that according to Rayson, smelled like turtles.
Kiks capturing his own reaction upon eating the turtle-y stuff.
Mmmmm~
OUCH OUCH TOO HOT BUT IT'S SO GOOD
Reaf me arone, I'm eafing.
This is how Kakashi managed to eat.
Sai and his coffee jelly.
Okay okay, leaving you alone now.
Oh, the two are actually getting along? (A little too well, even.)
This is Sakura's "I smell yaoi in the air" face...
...which we all attempted to imitate.
"It's called beer. Be a man and drink up!"
Hoho, drunk Sasuke.
[snickers] Just as planned.
I am appeased.
Now it's your turn, Sai. Have some sake.
OIROKE: OTOKO NO KO DOUSHI NO JUTSU!! (Double Knockout Guys Technique!)
But with clothes! And a voyeur Sakura!
This was not the product of our deranged imaginations! The idea came from Kishimoto himself! Look!
img183.imageshack.us/img183/43… Do you see Sakura's face there? PURE GENIUS. So many emotions! It does not compute!
We blame this for our behavior that evening.
Thanks for that day, you guys. I definitely needed that break! You crazy people keep me sane.
For now, it's back to schoolwork for a while!
