Sakura Matsuri 2015

at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden

April 28

Tiffany as Usagi	This is Usagi's outfit in the opening of Sailor Moon Crystal	Samurai Scott

First picture together in forever!	Shawn + Avian Firefly = OTP

Except when it's Avi + Crissy	That's pretty magical, too.

Following Paul aka PopeCerebus to photoshoot locations	Linwood!	I kind of turn into the Photoshoot Dictator when I have willing subjects (which kind of nullifies the whole "dictator" thing, I know. Photoshoot General? IDK.)

I can't help it...	...I just have REALLY GOOD ideas for poses.	If I do say so myself.

I was really jsut trying to get Usagi in the picture making fun of Mamoru-kun, but the angsty Rei in the foreground is so headcanon.	Preparing for battle

A new challenger appears!	I just can't help but be Antagonistic Rei around him.

Posing Christilynn in front of the shrine!	Okay, so I may have recycled an idea that I used myself.	Usagi and Rei

Best Friends Forever	Except for when they're not.

Another shot of Scott	I really like the angle on this one--it helps that I'm little.	The prettiest tree in the esplanade!

Most of the trees hadn't really bloomed yet	As usual, tourists asked to take their photos with us	Trying to get a nice photo with Scott...

...is like trying to nail Jello to a wall.	In which I mean he shoves flowers in your face.	On his own, he poses quite nicely.

This wonderful woman stopped and helped adjust Avi's and my kimono.	After posing for so many photos, I wanted to make sure I got some of my own!	This girl had the sheer "floof" that seems to be en vogue with yukata these days.

So many people dressed up this year!	And so many of them wanted to pose with us!

For the record, it can be very rude to photograph people when they're eating. However, in my defense: LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THEY ARE.	The addition of umbrellas to keep from overheating or getting sunburned is very smart.	This girl was dressed *flawlessly*. I was really impressed.

As you can tell.	This woman was dressed as the spirit of the sakura

Scott REALLY wanted a picture with her	We had to follow her for a while, she was so busy!	Love this color combination

The purple flowers that remind me of my stepfather	Dokudel in her Galaxy School Girl uniform

A nice shot in front of the fountain!	OH MY GOD I'M SO SHORT

I kiss Avi!	The fan, it does not do such a good job of hiding our rabu-rabu

I adore all the flower accessories!	More pretty yukata	Okay, this guy wins the Matsuri. Everyone can go home now.

More Photos (none taken by me)

We actually managed to get a group shot of almost everybody!	Tiffany and Scott were the first people I ran into!

This was towards the end of the day, when we were both pretty tired.
