9th April 2012: Reintroduction of Blaze I did wear Blaze to a couple of the parties at Ayacon 2011, but quite honestly, I wasn't all that comfortable (everything was rather loose on me and I'm conscious of my shape). Now though, the skirt has been taken in, and I am making new wrist cuffs for Kitacon IV. Her test debut can be said to be Ayacon 2011, but her REAL full debut will be at Kitacon IV (2012)!
7th April 2012: Wrist bands I am going to make some new wrist bands for this, as the ones I bought from eBay are incredibly flimsy and almost got ripped apart they were that thin. I should be able to get those done for Kitacon IV (2012) easily if I use the crap ones as templates.
19th March 2011: Dye in possession I have bought the dye. Now to dye the top and skirt and hope it all goes alright. >_<
26th February 2011: Dye I need to dye the top and the skirt. The trademark colour for blaze is supposed to be red, but in many pictures it also looks orange. So, my answer is to use two hand fabric dyes: tulip red and goldfish orange.
This also means I will need to dye the shoes.
12th February 2011: Top and skirt I have bought a white crop top and white denim mini skirt to dye for Blaze now.
The wig will be the same one as I will be using for Alys Brangwin.
NightmareWings - 18th October 2010 Ohhh...fun times.
M.Kesaiyn - 18th October 2010 I need to play this again! Must look for the Ultimate SEGA Collection on the Xbox 360. The SEGA Mega Drive Collection on the PS2 doesn't have Streets of Rage on it!

M.Kesaiyn - 27th December 2010
Numta3, I've got it now! I got it at the beginning of December. Love that game.
Ryukredapples, you're doing Axel? Nice.
I need to figure out what I am going to do with her though. I don't like skirts, and I need to get that or a pair of suitable shorts in the exact same orange - or get them white and dye them.
