Animania

Siena's initial foray into Anime today - her choice of character: Hitagi Senjougahara. A mouthful I know! If you read her bio, her and Siena could be sisters (apart from the 5kg weight). Did you know her choice of 'weapon' is stationery; staplers, hole punchers and the like!

I didn't realise Siena was so into Japanese comics, and her knowledge was so thorough! It's no surprise though and I find it suits her personality, she is so alternative, left of centre, it was so cool to see her blend into a crowhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifd that was so like her. It has been hard for her to find her sense of identity in a very beachy, homogenised environment such as the Northern Beaches. I really encourage and push her to be herself, to discover what makes her happy and to embrace who she is, cause she is just so cool. I would never have had the same confidence to express myself at 15.

And what did I do after I dropped her off at the convention? I went to the Remnant Warehouse of course and had a really, really good ($) time!

Very cool! Its hard to be true to your own style as a teenager if that style is not considered the norm. Kudos to her for having the confidence to stick with it because it suits her.

Wow you did a great job on the costume Sophie.
How great Siena has found her niche - and I love her choice of character - all characters should be equipped with stationery for weapons in my opinion.
More power to the Post-it note!
