I should exercise more; I don't do it at all. The occasional dog-run and walk downtown isn't really exercise. At least now how I do it, ahahaha!

Wow, a lot of Beauty/beast cosplay :) they're really well done <3

Its really good to exercise, I think. :]
I would like to do it more often, but only so much you can do, usually. I can't really go running, because i'm asthmatic and my respiratory system is all screwed up from that and anemia and just from getting weak. @[email protected];; I try to do crunches and kicks and stretches and what not, but I forget usually or get too tired.

I swim most of the time or just walk my dog. It's easy and works in more than one way :)

Swimming is always good. :]
And my dog isn't that good for walking. She has a little bit of a limp to her walk, and just taking her up to the post office and back is a lot for her. So, that has never really worked well for me.

Ah, okay. My dog is still like a pup :) But swimming is my favorite thing to do besides walking around town or on the beach :D

My doggies love walking. I think it's max's favorite thing in the world. However Max refuses to learn how to do it right no matter how hard we try.....he pulls us off our feet. He's sooooo strong.

And yeah, I was around the same post count as Ry, but she's been really busy, so I passed her up in posts. I hope that life isn't keeping her too busy and stressed. I know she's been on a bit more recently. :]

I remember being around 1k+ ahead in posts than Su before I went on my hiatus of sorts. ^^;; Now... I don't even wanna care, lolz. xDD;; RL is more important than Mene. XP <3<3

And interesting avatars I'm seeing so far! ^^

I'm trying to decide between Gaston and Rafiki (the second one).

Gaston's is more true to the original costumes, but Rafiki is a much more satisfying accomplishment (even though it doesn't look much like either Rafiki).

What to do, what to do...

Here's a couple of Rafikis. They're based more off of the broadway costume. I'm sad that there's no good face paint for it, but I really think the tiki mask lends well to "baboon" (it must be the lips xD).

Hey, this totally reminds me of the broadway version! :D
Seriously, wow.

Really? Thanks!

I was really having a hard time with it without face paint or being able to wear the collar with a feather ruff.

These are the references I've been using:

I'm definitely leaning more towards rafiki now, especially since it has a lot of unisex items that I already own or would be willing to rework and use again.

P.S.: I just realized that I still had a pending trade with you because I forgot to accept it >3>;;

It's fixed now. Sorry!

Keyori, I would go for Rafiki if I were you, since it's more unique and plays with the items more. This is still an avatar contest first and foremost, after all. xDD;; Then again, I'm not a judge, so I'm just saying this from my point of view. >;P <3<3

@Keyori: Haha, don't worry about the trade. I wasn't in a hurry to get them or anything. xD;

I also really think you should go with the Rafiki one. You should really be more experimental and creative during Project Mene. Last time I was a contestant, I was voted out after I played it safe. Xb

Besides, I saw the musical in New York last year, and the Rafiki that you made definitely gives off the right vibe. It might not be a perfect cosplay (that would really be impossible), but it's unique and still reminds me of the musical so much! The only downside might be if most of the judges haven't seen the musical... but it has been around for 10+ years... so maybe some of them have. x)

Keyori, I'd go with Rafiki. Portraying anything from the Lion King in an avatar is gonna be pretty hard, but you've done it really well.

... scawwy asian princesser of death.

@Cami- I think you lost it again.....I mean thats if you ever had it.

Am I just imagining the scary asian princess? D: Did she only appear to me?

kultura sort of looks scary and asian.....sort of.....I still like to think your losing your mind.

To be fair, crazy is chaotic.

just another one of your weak points.

Nope, don't think so. Makes me interesting. Much better than boring.

but boring is smart. Crazy is just......stupid.

I saw the scary asian princess thing. 8D

Well, it looks like I'll be doing Rafiki! Thanks for the input, all xD

Now I just gotta make up my shopping list and find all the items... I am sooo not familiar with male items. I'm guessing that most of the items are from Imports, though. I love that store *_*
