Wow it's been quite a while since our last update! Ari and I have been quite busy bees lately so we'll have the site updated shortly XD We have much more photos/cosplays/convention schedules to update so check back soon! The only thing I updated so far was that I added more items to Commissions section of our Shop page :)[06-26-10] - Teeny
Updated the Tutorial section wtih my Summoner Yuna Cosplay VIDEO tutorial! Also, our site will be going under construction soon for a new 2.0 layout whoo! Our Anime Central 2010 photoshoots are complete and can be seen at our Flickr account :D Our convention schedule for the remainder of the year is still under debate due to financial reasons but we'll keep everyone posted. Cheers!

Anime Central photoshoots are almost done!! You can see all Acen 2010 photoshoots at our Flickr account. Keep checking back in the next few weeks for more photoshoots as we upload them![05-19-10] - Ari
Anime Central was last weekend and we most definitely had a blast!! I somehow managed to get my Final Fantasy X Shiva costume wearable thanks to the helping hands of Teeny and our friends Lexi and Beth. Couldn't have done it without you guys! Teeny got to wear her Dark Zelda II with the ever gorgeous Akuriko and we both got to shoot a TON of photos! We will have all our photoshoots edited/uploaded in roughly 2 weeks. So keep checking back for a link to those! To all those we met or saw in passing, thanks for saying hi and hopefully we'll see you at another con soon!!Our next event together will hopefully be Dragon*Con, but for now Teeny will be off to Japan and I will be stuck in the Chicagoland area. So if you're near/around our areas and would like a shoot, send us an email or a pm! Stay tuned for other possible events we'll be attending throughout the summer. I know for me I always seem to figure things out a few days before! XD

A&G Ohio 2010 was a blast! Although it was sad not having my partner in crime with me 8( The con was a bit lazy on my part because it was my spring break and I just wanted to relax but the masquerade and Resident Evil musical was fun and it was nice seeing everyone :) I ended up closing photoshoots because of how busy I ended up being but there will be photoshoot opportunities at our next convention.
Next convention for TotallyToasty: Anime Central 2010 in Rosemont, IL!!
Site updates: Fixed some Links, added more items to the Shop, and updated photography tab :D

Our next convention is A&G Ohio 2010 next weekend! Unfortunately I (Rikku-chan) will not be able to attend, but please ask Teeny (Hiyoko-chan) if she has any available slots for photoshoots if you are attending!!However, if you live in the Chicagoland area and would like to book a shoot for your cosplay, I am available most weekends for on location shoots downtown or around the city. Just send me a pm!
Also, I will be in the Destin, Florida area for a week starting March 19th, so if anyone is in that area and would like to book a shoot, let me know and we'll figure something out!!
Other than that, our next big event will be Anime Central 2010! We will be announcing available photoshoot slots later this month or next, so keep checking back!

Both Ari and I will be judges for the cosplay masquerade as well as in other events at the con. So stop by!! ALSO, I should be having some cosplay items going up for sale sometime this week, so keep a look out! It's a first come, first serve basis!

Updated a few more resource links in the Links section, more to come later along with cosplayer sites! It seems like we got the Firefox bug worked out, yay! Like Ari said, Ohayocon is next weekend for us so don't be afraid to stop by and say Hi! We'll be working more on the site throughout the next few weeks so check back for updates :)

Hello, everyone! We are working out a few bugs, namely getting the site to show up for Firefox users, but we're so excited to finally be online and running! Since we're now launched and live, I think it's time for some real news!
Our next convention is Ohayocon on January 30th. Teeny and I will both be attending as will our cameras! However, we will not be doing photoshoots this time around. Please look for us in our Ada and Jill costumes from Resident Evil on Friday night and on Saturday our Asuka and Rei cosplays! I'm going to try to film some behind the scenes videos of our convention experience so we can actually update our Youtube accounts! haha We hope to see you all there! Don't hesitate to say hi if you see us and be sure to ask for one of our little business cards! They're rather cute! =D
**Also! If you'd like your website to be shown in our Links section, please send us a button and a link and please add one of our buttons to your site that can be found in the Links section! Thank you in advance!
