Right, so it's been what? Half a year since I made this thread?
Now I'm calling on Menewsha.
@MyFriends;
I need your help.
I'm low on funds after May Expo costing more than I anticipated, and whilst I'm not asking you for money, I do want to ask for your help.
Whilst I am struggling to find work suitable for me (People-based Anxiety, means I can't do bar work, waitressing, reception work, yanno, all the stuff they're looking for people to do :/)
The only income I get is doing work around the house for my parents, and any art commissions I get (which are few and far between)
I was hoping to rally you guys, to help me search for items, materials and the rest to make this cosplay that little bit more special.
Because even thought it'll be me wearing the costume, I'll know it's because of all my friends here that it looks so amazing. And Even if people don't know who I'm cosplaying, I have learnt, that standing around having me picture taken (Cue boyfriend with my digital camera) Other people start taking photos too.
If I can get Vicky circulating as much as I can, as well as handing out these Buisiness cards advertising Menewsha, Hopefully we'll get a bigger, more active community.
Down to the nitty Gritty.
I have been searching my Ass off for Vicky's boots, These are the one thing (bar the base of the wig) that I can't made, but I need them to be just so. I just don't want them to look like awful, fancy dress, white go-go boots.
I have learnt massive heels are going to kill me, as I just about managed a 2 inch wedge boot for two days last time. and as I'm hoping to wear her for LFCC and London MCM Expo, both in October, I'll have to cope 4 days in them, rather close to each other (as far as I'm aware)
If anyone wants to search ebay for me for that, or wherever, I take a size 6 UK Shoe.
and I am in the UK, not the US. England, Great Britain, United Kingdom. Sizes differ, so I wouldn't want someone to get really excited because they found the perfect shoe for me, only to find it's a different country's size 6.
I'd like to get this started now, because if I do have to order from America or Hong Kong, atleast I've got plenty of time.
Ontop of that, Summer is coming. My mum works term time, so I should have access to her help when it comes to sewing.
I've got no bits of this costume so far, I'm planning to make her Boa out of Fur, which i can easily get hold of, but sourcing the other materials at a reasonable price is a skill I am lacking.
Please, if any of you can help make this costume as amazing as possible, please, please, feel free to help out
The more amazing I'm able to make this costume, the More people whose attention I'll grab, the more people I can give business cards to, the more people can learn about Menewsha
hummy: I don't know if you and your RAKers can help out with this?
jellysundae: I don't know if you fancy trying to round up the penpals too?
With all you menewshans helping me, I have no doubt that with your skills and talents, and the vast areas of the internet in which you roam, you can help me find all the small details that will make the costume shine!
And whilst My Boyfriend isn't a Menewshan, He does know and understand how much this site means to me
So much so, he's said, if I want him to, He'll cosplay Mr Mayor with me.
If you guys can help me pull Vicky out of the bag, I'm sure you can do anything, including Luci's little details for my boyfriend.
Another thing I'll need is a business card design.
Now that can be left a little later, but I know Mene is full of Talented Artists, and whilst I'd love to make it myself, I'd prefer to concentrate on the costume at the moment.
If you guys are confused, let me know, I'll do my best to explain.
If I've missed something, ask me about it
if you're not sure what I need, ask me
I don't bite, I just desperately want to promote Menewsha to the best of my abilites, and I can't search the internet all the time.
I have tried so hard and I don't want to loose motivation for this costume and let down everyone.
I love Menewsha, it's my home on the internet
I just want to help it grow like it should be
Thank you for any help you can offer
