I was reading up a lot on wig-styling and such on the cosplay.com boards and I think I'm going to try that Oil Sheen stuff to try and keep it from tangling as easily.

T_T I thought the thread was gone. We appear to have been moved to the Nation section. *looks around curiously*

Pink-White-Chocolate 02-22-2008 06:28 AM

I thought the same thing fiarra! I was like..."It isn't on this page. Or this page. Or this one?! Gah!" So, I went to my posts and found it. We've been made into a nation^-^;

hrrmmmm~ wondercon's coming up this weekend i think? but too bad i'm loaded with school work -__-

btw, yay for everyone's cosplays posted randomly in the previous pages! *claps*

oh and sagi! your shuffle cosplay went well! the wig is nice for two wigs sewn together, you pulled it off nicely <3 such a cute cosplay :3

Sagitar 02-22-2008 10:27 AM

aww I'm so glad you guys found it! I didn't know what to do xP but atleast you can always find the thread through me and my "great" banner xP <3

Eroy thought this thread is more like a hangout for cosplayers so it was moved here.

And thank you AzukiPunk ^o^ <3 it's just a shame that nobody recognized it.. I guess it's not that popular show here O.o

*wanders around sprinkling confetti everywhere*

And I like your banner Sagitar! Is the lettering a font or is it handwritten?

Pink-White-Chocolate 02-22-2008 06:20 PM

So, since it is still growing ever so closer, who is going to Sakura con in March?

haha thanks 8D it's completely handmade with my mouse and paint =D
I wish the font was better, but not much I can do xP

fiarra 02-22-2008 08:47 PM

Nooo I like it handwritten like that. I'd totally go download the font if it were one!

And where is Sakura Con? I don't even know. *_*

I don't know where Sakura Con is.. I would go if it wasn't in whole another country xD
the next convention I'm going to is actually called sakura con too, but in finnish xP "kirsikankukkacon" :3

Pink-White-Chocolate 02-22-2008 10:25 PM

Sakura con's in Seattle, Washington. It's the 28th, 29th, and 30th of March. ^-^

fiarra 02-23-2008 06:47 AM

v_v That's all the way across the country from me... so no. I won't be going to it.

xD

Sagitar 02-23-2008 10:04 AM

*yawn* goor morning guys :3

Pink - you're going? as your avi? have you alreadsy started doing the costume? :3

Pink-White-Chocolate 02-23-2008 06:03 PM

It's my avi on Gaia. Though my avi on Gaia right now isn't what I'm going as^-^; The costume's done. I just need to lose a few pounds before it starts though because my shirt is a little tight. I was thinking about buying another one, but meh...

Marguerite Blakeney 02-24-2008 01:54 AM

I just realized the Cosplayers on Mene? thread was moved here o.o after scouring the pages of the General Discussion to no end. Someone coulda told me first!

Anyway I went to a cosplay gathering today in my town, and I have pics of my costumes! One is modeled by my friend, the other one I'm wearing (and I have wings). So lemme upload the pics real quick then I'll post 'em.

Just a note: the corset isn't what I really want it to be because I was running really late last night (3AM, believe it or not) finishing my costume so I just fished the only corset out of my closet and wore that instead. It worked though. I'm going to have to buy a brown one soon.

edit: Plenty of photos here!

Me in my new costume, not quite a pirate whore.

My friend in my Amano Aeris costume (she's not the same height as me so BIG difference)...Don't ask me...I thought I rotated the photos but I didn't.

They didn't tell anyone about the move, except Sagitar since she's the thread-maker. I think everyone has just been sifting through the boards and finding their way back here.

And your costumes look nice! I bet that pirate costume will look awesome with a brown corset too!

Marguerite Blakeney 02-24-2008 03:06 AM

Thanks ^^ BUT YEAH I was SUPPOSED to have a brown corset! But the material I bought (stretch velvet...BAD. VERY BAD) did NOT work out! So now I'm going to buy some brown corduroy instead and hope it's "velvety" as well.

Pink-White-Chocolate 02-24-2008 03:44 AM

It looks really good, Marguerite^-^ Even if the corset isn't what it was supposed to look like. I think you did a really good job. *claps* How'd you get the wings to stay? And did you make them yourself or did you buy them from somewhere?

Marguerite Blakeney 02-24-2008 03:50 AM

I had these elastic straps from a previous costume I had (they came with the costume) so then I was like...you know I needa figure out a way to get the wings to stick. They're like removable bra straps so I just looped them around my wings (and yes they're hand made) and hooked the hooks together, then slipped the elastic over my arms. Easy.

I'm also planning to make and sell a bunch of wings like that for cosplay...but I'm not sure because it takes a LOT of packs of feathers to buy!! But yeah I made them. The process took two separate days, unwiring the hanger wires, setting up a base for the wings, and gluing the feathers on. I can't really explain it, but I just do it! And I bumped into SOOOOOOOOO many people--this thing is HELLA stable, that NONE of the feathers came off! My wings are in perfect, pristine condition after one day so far! ^_^

Pink-White-Chocolate 02-24-2008 04:59 AM

Wow. That's amazing that they're still together^-^ My sister has a pair of black and red wings and they're big. They were expensive and I think that they're falling apart still. They started to fall apart the second day she had them. I can kind of see the thing the wings are hooked onto.

Marguerite Blakeney 02-24-2008 05:31 AM

Yeaaa the stuff's there. I can't really figure out how to cover it up, probably with more marabou feathers, but that also means generally I have to use a crapload more feathers in any case ^^;; Next time I'll PROBABLY go with copper tubing, but I really liked the lightweight coathanger wire I used.

Sagitar 02-24-2008 11:02 AM

wow Marguerite, you look really cute ^^ and so does your costume :3

but what can you do? D:
