It's getting so close! I'm so excited!

Hi! I'm going, and if you run into me we can hang out together.

I am going, but what I'll be cosplaying is still unknown to me. I want to do something BIG seeing as most of my stuff has been small. I went as Eternal Sailor Jupiter to Afest but that's the biggest I've done...

Okay. I know a lot of cosplayers can't stand Ebay (I dunno why!) but there are a few people on Ebay who make all the Sailor Scouts wands and things for decently cheap. I know the rose earrings go for around 20 a pair, but they are really pretty and normaly good quality.

Aisha from Outlaw Star! Sorry I don't have a pic ^^;;...

SHOCK ABSORBER (I know this is spelt wrong, but I am just so tired...) BRAS! They can be kinda pricey, but my gosh, do they work! I am a C and I look totally flat with one of these on! I am a dancer/cheerleader, so these are a must. You can get them from Victoria's Secret, and even chose different s...

*nod nod* My mom makes my costumes, but I think I'll be taking classes soon! THANK GOD!

That stinks that Kansas has a lack of anime... I really appriciate living in Ohio because it has conventions that are only about a 2 hour drive away! ^-^! !

Well, if anyone can offer anything else, I'm looking for ideas for constructing a keyblade as well.

If you go to the cosplay galleries here on acparadise.com you'll see a few pictures of Kairi's keyblade. I bought my Kairi outfit off Ebay, and it was made different than what it is suppost to look like. The lady offered to fix it, but I had to pay the 20 dollar shipping fee. Don't use HonestDragonC...

Thank you so much!

Hi. ^-^. Firstly, what con are you going to in September? Just curious... Secoundly, when I was at Walmart this past May buying fabric for my boyfriend and his brother's Riku costumes, I found a TON of patterns that looked somewhat like what Yuna wears for like... $2.00 a pattern or less~! A friend...

Oh! I saw you on the Ohayocon fourms! Nice to see you again! ^-^!
Yes, I was betting that, but I was hopeing that someone could give me ideas as to how much I'd need and what is what... details in other words.
^^. Thanks though!

I'm going to A-fest, too, and after watching about 8 cosplay contests, let me give you a few tips: 1.People really want to laugh. It seems like it is always the funny groups that get the awards. 2.Yaoi and Yuri always gets the crowd going ^^;;. 3.Prerecording your voices onto a CD is really helpful...

While driving home from A-kon earlier this month, a fantastic idea hit me for a skit involving characters from FF Advent Children. But it bothers me that those characters are WIDELY popular and it seems like everyone is useing them. But a friend also pointed out that this also means more people wil...

My boyfriend and I are cosplaying as Cloud and Sephiroth for AnimeFest (Dallas, 9/01-04), and even though he has made cosplay weapons and such before and I'm usually pretty crafty, we're both at a loss for ideas of how to make this sword as life like as possible!! Here is a kinda funky example in c...

:D Yay! My first post on American Cosplay Paradise! Anyways, yes, AnimeFest is sooo worth any trip! I've been attending cons since I was 11, and this year will be my 3rd time to go to A-Fest! I have to say I can appriciate it more than most cons because of its size- its smaller and oftentimes more ...
