I have a weakness for cute animal girls. Unagi caught my eye when I bought the popotan series. I watched her at the end, and loved her personality. She's so cute and she knows it! This costume was rather simple, but caused such a headache b/c of the actual design of the shirt. I didn't know weither to make it a extra larger shirt or to go with a different idea. Of course I went with the more simple idea and used a pattern for a regular sized shirt and altered it a bit. I love how the tail sticks out and bounces around when I walk. This costume is one of my favorites. I even have fangs like unagi does! When she says "una una" its awfully catchy! I found myself saying it a lot when walking around the convention halls.
