Four friends and I headed into downtown Pittsburgh for a spontaneous photoshoot. I've never cosplayed in public before and it was nerve-wracking as hell, but you get used to all the unwanted attention after a while.

We battled ridiculous amounts of wind, a lot of staring, angry drivers (not at us, thankfully) and blinding sun, but we somehow managed to get over 350 pictures. xD (We ended up with about 50 usable ones.) It probably took us five or six hours to run out of places to shoot at, and I then spent the next day mourning my knees because I was sore all over. During the photoshoot, I was DYING as Mustang because the wig and the uniform alone was making me sweat like a pig, but eventually the wind picked up and the temperatures dropped to something tolerable. The sun gave us gorgeous lighting though, so it wasn't all bad. ^^

One of the photographers, Patches, and I photoshopped separate sets of images, so our images are very... different looking. X_x In any case, I loved how all the pics turned out. No pain no gain!

I have spammed so many places with these fics, so sorry in advance to anyone who's sick of seeing them.

On a totally unrelated note, my uni is having an outbreak of H1N1 flu and my roomie went out to dinner with someone yesterday that has now been quarantined for possible H1N1 infection. If I disappear off the radar, it's very possible I caught it.
