I've always wanted to cosplay ^^ But my parents think its a waste of time so i cant >.>
Hopefully when I learn to sew (this summer) I'll be able to make my own cosplay clothes and wear them. (Yeah I'ma wear them to school)

No way. What!!! You are sooo lucky Rare!!

@rare : Lucky =( Do you buy all your stuff?
@hara : Wow, where'd you get the clothes?!?!
@malu : Wow, creating your own cosplay outfit?! That's so cool!! To school too?  Good luck and I hope it happens for you! ^_^

I'm sure my mom would let me go to cons and stuff if I asked, but I'd have no one to go with and only a 1/8th chance of her even considering buying cosplay materials =(
However, I have started trying to make my own cosplay horns. It's a paper mache project and I picked horns because they can be in all shapes and sizes, plus a lot of my fav characters have horns. And I'm planning on asking my mom for acrylic paints and some shirts from our factory. Since if I ever start cosplaying, it'd be small cosplays I can easily use or the clothes of which I can wear casually. I dunno what to do about make-up/face-paints though. =_="

I order a HUGE men's jumpsuit from Dickies and resized a lot of it to fit me. The yellow ribbon was sewn on since the jumpsuit was plain blue. You can't see it here, but I ironed the numbers 101 on the back with these iron-on jersey numbers from a craft store.

Re-sizing and modifying clothes is a lot easier than making it from scratch. When I had the time back in middle school, a lot of my cosplays were made from scratch.

@angel : lol, whoops XD I think I was on another topic while typing my reply so I got your name mixed up XD.

My paper mache horns are actually coming along nicely. Though do any of you guys know if poster paint or acrylic paint would cover up the newspaper's ink better? I don't want random stuff being seen through the paint.

So I had Supanova today and I went as a genderbent Death Scythe/Spirit Albarn

I mean, come on. <3 It was great. Vic said I looked beautiful. <3

I can't decide who to cosplay for Supanova (Sydney) :(
It's going to be cold tooooo!
Maybe Claire Redfield or Pinkie Pie?

Go as Pinkie Pie :D (Post pictures here? [if you want] :D)

Also, I'm (planning on) going to a Visual Music Carnival tomorrow sponsored by a lot of anime/manga related stuff, hopefully they'll sell cosplay stuff so I can put together a decent-ish cosplaying outfit. Also, I'm looking for ways to make props without actually buying them or using stuff I can actually buy (none of those model-magic thangamajigs for me, they don't sell it here D: )

Hopefully, these flour-water-salt clay mixtures I found on the internet works.

Also, I'm planning on going to an actual con (I think) in may. *sigh* I should've gotten more into this in january, they held a cosplay-market where they sell cosplay stuff like wigs (which I can't make so I have to buy if I need them) would've made getting into cosplaying easier XD

Yeah, but sometimes it's not worth the shipping costs, prices can go waayy up just because of shipping. It's really annoying >_<
But I'll check just to see XD

On the last day of school this year, I'm going as Empress Jessamine Kaldwin from the game Dishonored. It's gonna be so awesome, and I only need one more item!
