well IndiGlo, that leaves the option of using wigs :3 I use them almost every time, it looks way better than real hair in my opinion, because anime characters tend to have a thick crazy hair x)

Haha, that's true xD
Now to find someplace to buy wigs....^ ^;;

Yay for cosplaying >3

Although Ive never went to any cons or anything like that, I just wear cosplayish stuff normally [ at home it is since its like -13 deegres outside ]

Im gonna drag you to hell [ Jigoku Shoujo? ]
Lain is in your network
Lain wants you lol
Greetings [ made up this uniform ]
Imma at a meeting, can you come backz latar?
I Kill you, you kill me, yes, himizawa

I messed with the contrast in photoshop, but I didnt do anything else xD Camera whores for the win.

The cosplays I did was Lain serial expiriments and Enmai Ai from Jigoku Shoujo. Im gonna do Rena
from Higurashi soon : ) And also rika from higurashi.

HAhaha!
I love cosplaying.
It's better then anything. 8)
But only when you have a killer outfit..
If your costume sucks..
then you'll have a totally lame time.
Nobody will take pictures of you. D:
And that makes Teeths self-esteem lower. Dx
Heres me as Mima from Perfect Blue in 2006:

Me and my friend who were there counted how many times random people took pictures of us:
Counted: 67 in two days. (I have the information saved on a document, I wouldn't remember this stuff...o.o")
Heres me as some random Nurse Kimono Lolita chick with my friend again in 2007 (Same place):

(I'm on the bottom..o.o)
That was a bad two days for us..total people counted:
8 in two days. (Well at least for me, she only came for one day..)
BUT it's okay because
a) A really hot guy asked me for a picture and even put his arms around me for it. ^^ *Squeee*
b) Someone took a video of me and some other person playing DDR.
I got to know that other DDR-est because we miraculously happened to challenge eachother ALOT during the time there. o.o
Maybe next time I shall be...
Oh I dont know..
Maybe MATT or MELLO from DEATH NOTE? :)
You see way too many Raito's and L's and a few ryuks..and the occaisonal Misa, but how many Matts and Mellos do you see? D:<
Matt+Mello:

(Mello= Blonde Matt= Red head) (This is a YAOI pic.)
Or Karinka from Steel Angel Kurumi?
http://photobucket.com/mediadetail/?...&pageOffset=17

I don't know. xP
Its not until September so I Have a while to decide.
BUT
I have a friend who can make lolita kimono cosplay outfits, he made the one i'm wearing in my second picture of 2007.
I was thinking he could make me one that looks like Yumi's Miracle Ninja outfit from Ape Escape 3, only because it looks wicked!!
Yumi Miracle Ninja:

OR OR OR her Kung-Fu Fighter Outfit, it's so badass.
Or her Cyber Ace outfit...x3

love your school girl outfit xP I'd like to have one :3

@Teeth, nice outfit ^^ did you make it yourself?

I have a thing that if I see a really great costume on a convention, I will never try to cosplay that character xD

I made my first costume - the Mima one, but if you read everything I said, I stated that my friend who makes cosplay outfits made me and my friends costume in the second picture. ^^

Haha xD Miiinnee~

Do you have one? [ If you dont get one, plz? xD ] Too lazy to check if you said you did in your other posts @ [email protected]

Teeth- I wish I could see your cosplay pics, my computer is messing up though ;___ ; waaaah.

Lol at the hot guy taking a pic with you. Ive heard horror stories about creepy people taking pictures of cosplayers, so I guess you got lucky xD Or maybe your costume/you looked that awsome? ...waaaaahh Dx

Kimu-
Hahha. Don't get me wrong- there were ALOT of creepy guys there. o.o
Some itachi guy kept following us around in 2006..
And once, this one guy took a picture of us - and before we knew it, there were like 20 other people around us. o.o

Also - there was a 'gaming' section of the building, where nerds come and play WoW or Pokemon or whatever it is they do..O_o
I just went there because they had lots of free tables for eating lunch, and while we were there, EVERYONE was staring at us. O.o
Like, seriously, they were all either really over-weight guys with those thick glasses or really skinny wannabe-punk guys, that looked nothing hardcore. O_O
It was scary, I kept pulling my shirt closer and closer because I was affraid that they were trying to catch a glimpse of my privelages. o.0''
Also, when I was playing DDR, I was like WTF when the guy was taking a video of us because my Kimono was short-skirted, so if I jumped a bit too hard, my skirt could have flipped up..So I was sort of like, holding my kimono as I was playing..xD

And of course, we did get the occaisonal fat 40 year old guy dressed up in a Storm Troopers outfit take pictures of us with his hand uncomfotably around us. :S
I have so many stories to tel..xD
Especially in that 2006 one.
So many wild things happened then..it was my first time cosplaying. xD
I'll try to find some other pictures of other cosplay times too.

Edit: :O
I love your cosplay pictures!!
Nice Lain. ;D

huh? do you mean my cosplay lab account or what?
http://www.cosplaylab.com/search.asp...ember&x=4&y=11
there's the link if you want to check it out.. :3 not all my cosplays are up there though

Ohayocon is this weekend! I'm so excited. :3 I cosplay
but I can't really sew yet. So I just find stuff or buy it. >__<

I really want to learn how to sew in the future though.
Someday I'll be amazing. :lol:

@ kimu ~ ohmigosh, Higurashi cosplay!? I must see that. lol

sagistar- I saw your lab, but I cant see one because my computer is f'ed up. Oh well : D
So then I mean, since it doesn't have all your costumes, do one of your cosplays happen to be a school uniform? ;3

teeth- D : Poor teeth...
Lol but thats what itachi does xD Now only if he had a shark as a pet also following you it would be complete.

"ok guys, we are gonna ambush Teeth, first we need to make a bait, and make it seem like we all came cause some guy took a pic of teeth, then it will be less creepy, but making this plan 100% more retarded than our plan to offer her ramen and tell her we are pro peoplez who wanna user her pic for a ramen commerecial. Or that other plan to rape her. K?"

There wasnt anyone who wasnt overweight/40 year old/skinny guys pretended to be punk? Dx
What were you cosplaying again as you were playing DDR? xD I mean, most cosplays have short skirts so it can't be helped, hauu, I dunno.

Find those pics or I'll send the clown from IT after you in your sleep >3 Just kidding....*does evil secret laughter that isn't so secret anymore*

Thanks xD
Yay someone who knows what lain is! *hug* xD
My lain cosplay kinda sucked though, besides the hair that is xD But thats just my haircut. Erm, what I mean is the hairclip she wears, although I dont think its in the pics anyways @[email protected] Bleh. How could I have forgotten to see if it was in the pic?

And and....Im scared now to go to con since Im a 13 year old loli, and just imagine the cameras creating a sunami for me if I were to come in my lolita outfit. I think it would be scarring, honestly.


clockwork-
If you ever get around that sewing thing, I would pay you hardcore money so you could sew me that amazing loli school uniform that I have always wanted! >D

Yay, higurashi fan~<33 Yes it will~ There isn't enough higurashi cosplay Dx

Holly jebus I wrote too much. Someone, write a ticket on this or something! This just can't be legal.

@ kimu ~ Yeah, I think I've only seen one good Satoko. :'0
You could always commission someone to sew it for you. ^-^

nope, I don't have a school uniform of any kind, but I'd like one xP maybe for some cosplay later..

I don't have pictures of all of my cosplays, but so far I've cosplayed:

-Kurenai
-Tifa Lockheart
-Freya (twice, dark costume and the swimsuit looking thing they had on when they were created)
-Rip van Vinkle
-Urd
-Ichigo

yep I think that's it.. :3

I've never cosplayed before but I always wanted too. I'm planning on doing it at Katsucon or Otakon but I don't know if I will be able to. The characters I really want to cosplay as are

Chichi from Dragonball Z
Tsunade from Naruto
Temari from Naruto
Keira from Jak and Daxter (videogame)
and some others but I just forgot who they were.

pick someone that reminds you the best :3 it's always easier to cosplay those who look like you a bit :3
either characteristic or looks is good xP

clockword- hmmz, would it cost more than just buying it off ebay? o.o
And where do I go so someone can commision it for me? @[email protected]

there must be some fabric stores in your area where they do custom dresses? or you might find someone over the internet..

and ofcourse you could ask a friend or relative if they know how to sew x)

XD Cosplaying actually sounds a lot of fun. Problem is that I've actually never cosplayed before so I have no experience with making the costumes or anything. My first will probably be of Agito with my friend who'll be Akito. Er... that is if we don't mess this one up. I want us to look nice at least. XDD

Haha, despite cosplay being described as a sign of Otakuness, it actually sounds fun.

Anyone knows where I can get my hands on a sewing machine? Like mini ones. What kind of store would I find those in?

Yes, it would probably cost more to get a commission. :0
I had a site, but I lost it. >__> You can always go on
cosplay.com and ask around.

• LOL there's an old, old thread way back but nobody's posted in it.
  
  Anyway I do cosplay. I'm Chibi Plush Toy on Cosplay.com, Princess Kail on CosplayLab.com, and have been active in the cosplaying scene since 2004. I dunno who else from Cosplay.com is here, except for the friends I recruited to that site. Except Zaner. I met him through there ^_^
  
  I've got like, a TON of costumes...but I'd rather not post them on here. Hahaha. Damn...I keep adding and adding to this post, but I've gotta admit -- When I first started out cosplaying in my freshman year of high school (four years ago since I'm a freshman in college this time around), I was super-excited and really into it. When I got my first (and only) sewing machine, I began shooting out costumes like crazy, totalling fifteen cosplays in 2005. By 2006, after the summer of conventions, I got bored with it and started frequenting those cosplay sites less and less, and honestly, it's not fun anymore when you've got to pay for tuition and focus on college.
  
  Not only that, cosplaying was, and still is, my pedestal for the real career I want to get into, which is fashion design, so lately, instead of costuming, I sew my own clothes now. And I love it more.
  
  Don't get me wrong, I still cosplay occasionally but now I can only make two or only one costume per year or so.

oh hi auigi-san! >w< sewing machines sound really nice~~ i dunt know where to find them actually, i usually see a friend of mine that would have one, but i havent the courage to ask to use it T3T

so all i have been doing is hand-sewing TwT;;; it's kinda fun once you get into it <3

*highfives* yeyz for Ohayocon 8D
I'm totally stoked for this weekend! I'm almost finished with my costume, just gotta bust out some shoe covers really quickly and I'll be 100% finished ^_^

I'll be cosplaying as bridget from guilty Gear X2
I do have a really shitty Work in progress snapshot but I have yet to take some quality ones for posting. pictar.
What isn't in that picture there is my props and my finished cuffs but fear not! I shall take more pictures in the future ^^;;

I remember when I started to cosplay... 2004 seems so long ago. XD

Margie is also the one who got me into cosplay.

I cosplay as well, though not much. I generally only have the funds and time to go to Otakon each year. I hope to have a new version of Suu from Clover this year.

Here's the one I've gone in before:
