Sailor Moon: International Praise for a 21 Year Old Role Model

If you're cool you'll know who Sailor Moon is.

She is a role model, an inspiration, and damn cool.

August 15th is International Sailor Moon Day (or #ismd for short.)

So this amazing lady put on a show at Happy Harbor Comics about all things Sailor Moon.

Wands, brooches, bracelets, episodes, costumes, and movies galore.

And also cake pops.

Sailor Chibi-Moon with Space Time Key
Cotton Candy
Lots and lots of cake pops.

Sailor Venus with Love-Me Chain Hearts
Orange Creamsicle
And many many time consuming decorations to make.

Sailor Jupiter with Roses
Strawberry Lemon
And new flavours created.

First time I've done the above three flavours. The former were good but the ladder was amazing. Strawberry Lemon is a new fav for this girl.

Almost didn't make them. I seriously wanted to eat all the dough with spoon. Seriously.

Sailor Mars with Fire
Red Velvet
Lesson learned with these guys.

Doesn't matter how well you plan things can take a lot longer than you think and smash that plan to bits.

Sailor Mercury with Bubbles Blast
Vanilla
All these little decorations were planned to take one day. Instead they took 3.

Even with the new airbrush machine I got (and want to play with all the time.)

But it was worth it... Mostly.

Sailor Moon with Hair Pieces
Chocolate
This was the only Sailor Moon pop that got curls. They were stubborn to put on and kept falling off during packaging.

Also I overestimated the amount of people that were going to be there and made way to many.

Like I have lots in my freezer.

Lots for weeks. 

I didn't need to make the
Brigade of the Meatballs.
A few soldiers would have done.
I guess people will know what they are getting for presents for the next while.

But the best lesson learned: Having a solid idea in mind makes great results.

Sketch it out!
Always get those ideas out. Write them down, sketch, interpretive dance, whatever you need to do to get that down pat (who's Pat?)

Movie in a comic shop
Heck Yeah!
