K-ON! Genderbent Cosplay at Alcon 2009

Now presenting the complete Mikio/Mio-kun cosplay! I managed to get everything ordered and arrived in time for Alcon 2009 (which I will write more about soon). In case you haven't seen the original picture the cosplay was based on, you can see it in my previous article.
