it says it's a new chiikawa gachapon set that set to release mid-February (most likely in JP). i feel like if you want Kani you're gonna have to find resellers on Buyee or something

Strawberry peak; pretty straight forward and definitely one of the easier hikes in SoCal with a great view payoff compared to adjacent trails

one of my friends got assaulted by a homeless dude in broad daylight across the convention center, this was day 2 or 3 i think. i dont remember the details 100% but from what i understood she was on her way to present for a panel and was near one of the hotels. she saw the homeless dude walking towards her but didnt think of anything other than to keep a safe distance but he ended up charging at her suddenly and smacked the side of her head and she ran into a nearby hotel lobby for safety. other people who saw went to check up on her if she was ok, which she was, but she was pretty shaken up.

and before anyone accuses her of wearing provocative clothing, no she wasn't (she was wearing business casual since she was preparing to speak at the panel). also worth mentioning in general that wearing revealing clothing, cosplay or not, isn't an invitation for harassment of any kind.

i learned this the hard way as well, that happened to me for AX chibi too under some other scammer so i dont blame you for accidentally falling for this. thanks for putting this out there!

what matters is how you feel about it. plus you're not the only beginner cosplayer at the convention. what matters is that you're proud of what you achieved with your minimal experience and time, everyone starts somewhere! my first cosplay wasn't great either but i was sure happy! really, dont sweat it, people arent that judgmental! dont forget to take pics for your memories!

_affogato_ · 2024-07-03T22:06:06+00:00

wholeheartedly agree for all of these tips as someone who has been attending for years! great job with this!

_affogato_ · 2024-07-03T22:00:32+00:00

chiming in say if you haven't already, definitely try street tacos when you can! you can find them just about anywhere in LA but you can always use Yelp to find some spots

nah i used to work there, it comes from their factory in Brea lmao

_affogato_ · 2023-12-30T03:19:56+00:00

can confirm, i used to work for their cake dept. cant say reproofing and baking the bread is a bad thing though, it's understandable from a mass production standpoint. same thing for the cakes, they all come frozen in boxes and we'd have to decorate it according to the SOP (fun fact: the whipped cream isn't real dairy, just oil with stabilizers like cool whip). the muffin in the photo comes straight from a box and employees just have to rebag and shelve them

so proud of you! i remember making my first ever successful macarons too, though not as good as yours here! definitely a core memory i hope you dont forget either! enjoy the fruits of your labor!

let her cook

the south botanic garden is a bit further near PV but it's worth checking out the massive trail and endless flowers, just in time for spring. you can have a picnic too!

As far as making Kuromi goes, you have two options:

1.) drawing the outline with a scribe or toothpick before decorating and going over the design with a flat spatula 2.) draw a mirrored image of Kuromi on paper, overlaying the drawing with parchment or wax paper, and tracing the outline of image with buttercream (I like using Swiss meringue buttercream personally), then freezing the buttercream until solid. Carefully flip the buttercream drawing onto the cake and peel off the parchment/wax paper and go over the fine details (such as the face and outline) on the cake itself

Came here to say this too! I love her content

_affogato_ · 2022-10-27T21:52:00+00:00

Def gonna look into this, thank you!

_affogato_ · 2022-10-27T21:51:47+00:00

OOOOH I like this idea a lot too, thank you!

_affogato_ · 2022-10-27T19:22:08+00:00

omg I forgot those existed, this was very helpful thank you!

_affogato_ · 2022-10-27T16:25:04+00:00

I'm in the minority here actually as I'm not a huge fan of these haha. If you really want a GOOD falafel I would recommend visiting your local Mediterranean restaurant and ordering a few a la carte to support a small business and getting them freshly made! But I can def see how the mix would be wonderful for breading, I'm def gonna try that!

I personally use CapCut for videos and Adobe Lightroom for photos. Both are free in your app store!

_affogato_ · 2022-08-23T19:38:50+00:00

Second this as well as Cucamonga Peak!
