Story: I actually completed Gin before I finished Don. I was planning to be the evil person in the skit but a few rewrites later changed me into the comic relief. I still adore evil, and Lance needed an example on how to make the costume for Komamura so I finished Gin and took pictures of it for Lance to study from. For the pounds of fabric that go into Gin, it's actually a very comfortable costume and breathes really well. It is somewhat annoying to remember to close my eyes everytime a picture is being taken but at least I won't get the red eye. Not only that Gin x Rangiku forever! <3 Winter Coat: After seeing my Gin at Ani-Magic, Stella thought I would be perfect for their Winter Coat Bleach group as seen in the Bleach 2006 Calendar. We got matching moleskin and I got to meet and make some new good friends in the process. The moleskin is very soft and doesn't wrinkle, but can burn if the wrong iron setting is used. Thanks to Lionel for doing the group photoshoot and Al for the solo shots.
