Armageddon Cosplay - Very much so underway!

So this will be the first year I will be properly cosplaying  properly, and for those who don't know who I will be, it's STOCKING ANARCHY!

Ever since I watched Panty & Stocking for the first time I knew I wanted to cosplay as Panty~
I brought the wig earlier on this year (in June I think) & my Dad paid for the outfit for my birthday (see review here). All I need to do now is make Stripes I & maybe Strpies II (her swords) & buy some shoes & I'm all set!
Since I don't have any photos of me all dressed up yet here are the stock photos from FM-Anime of the items I brought:

The outfit. Came with dress, headbow, waist tie, neck tie & back bow

And the wig. This is the 120cm wig, I actually brought the 100cm wig~

Christmas Lights [image heavy]

So this is a VERY late post but I have been quite busy sorry guys OTL
Last month, just after Christmas, Stuart, our friends Stephen & Echius & myself went for a drive to have a look at the local Christmas lights. We had heard of a huge display just outside of town so we decided to head there.

This is an extract from Christmas Wonderland NZ about the light display we went to see:
Last years (2011) show consisted of approx.150,000 lights, 180 multi boxes, 420 extension cables and used 22.5 kw of power.  A search light  also was bought in, in the weeks leading up to Christmas, to help Santa find his way.  Just incase he didn’t see the other 150,000 blinking, flashing, strobing lights – pulsing to the likes of Metallica’s Enter Sandman.The display uses light-o-rama controllers and software, 256 channels are incorporated into the light show. Sequencing took on average 46 hours for a 3 minute lighting show.The list of songs that were sequenced are:Metallica “Enter Sandman”Brian May (Queen) “Resurrection”Emerson Lake & Palmer “Fanfare for the common man”Pat Benitar ” All fired up”Twisted Sister ” Come all ye faithful”Snoopy’s ChristmasAlvan and the chipmunksThere was a song playing with the lights every 6 minutes. 

And now onto our photos from the night~
WARNING: Some may be a bit blurry & what not because I'm still getting the hang of my new camera.

Cute Santas everywhere!

This was in front of their barn.
