Thanks Choji!

yeah, they're similar, but I just can't decide
there's me

Fuji Syusuke on the left, Tezuka Kunimitsu on the right

thanks for your help!

Hi hi! ^^

I know exactly how you feel, I live in California where there is so much manga, anime, and cosplayers, then I suddenly came to Massachusetts O_o hey I hope you find a good bookstore at least!

whoo visual bands!!

You're welcome! I think you should be able to keep it around $50-60?
General estimates: sweater $15, fur $5, shorts $18, shoes $10, Akamaru $10

Anyway, have fun with it! Develop your Kibaness attitude, haha!
And yes, it is neat, Choji! XD

Doggies: http://www.toycup.com/na6akdogpl.html http://www.myimportstore.com/viewProduct_ID_Naruto-33.htm Sandals: http://liz.spain.googlepages.com/narutosandaltutorial It's easier than it looks, and usually cheaper than buying them from Hong Kong. XD Fake fur-fabric store gray jacket-cheap clothing ...

Like Choji said, what are your favorites? Give us some specs, or else I am going totally random on you. Heehee!

Go for Ritsuka 'cause he's cuter and you get to wear ears! :o You could do Rukia, but she's kinda overdone and I think you'd be cuter as Ritsuka. But if you do Yachiru, please promise you'll make that little Kenpachi snowman plushie thing. Please. Haha! If you like Bleach, you could also do Hanataro...

Anime Expo's in L.A. this year, which sucks. But anyway, if you pre-register and sign up to do your skit, of course they'll let you on stage. If not, give them a lotus blossom. LEE STYLE!

Okay, Norrington might be a little out of place, but I'm sure anime people would recognize...I think the fan bases overlap. I mean if people dress up in Harry Potter crap, I'm sure some Pirates would be welcome. Otherwise just do Raphael cause he's cool too.

Yeah, James Norrington! He's my favorite character! Is that weird?

I think it would be cool to wear the white wig that he has in the first movie. But in the second one, there's definitely some facial hair going on.

Cool! Thanks everyone for your input! I'm excited now!

Thanks guys! I'll try L first...his costume is definitely much simpler. ^^'

I'm trying to line up some costumes...should I focus on Raito/Light or L/Ryuuzaki? Which one?

Light?

or L?
Thanks!

You'd make such a cute Fuu! http://www.toomanychamploo.org/char/fuu1.jpg We have the same taste in anime and games...weird. :shock: Okay, let's see... Chobits: there's always Chii, but that's rather overdone, so...how bout Petite Cossette instead? One Piece: Nami Yugioh: Anzu? ...Malik?! XD Cowboy B...

Be Kilik! 'cause he owns!

Just tell me what shows you like and I'll get you a character!

Yay Kenshin! ^^

Try Amphigory in general: http://www.amphigory.com/wigs.html
I kinda like this one: http://www.amphigory.com/wigs_linda_b.html

Good luck, hair stylist!

You're welcome... ^^ And to make the collar stand up, I can't remember what it's called, but they sell a stiff white material to put on the inside of the fabric... Interfacing? Maybe that's it, just ask the people at the fabric store and they'll know what you mean. If you can't get that stuff, just ...

If you can do basic sewing, here's a good way to make ninja sandals...

And the cloak... it's quite a pain, so good luck.
I think felt would look fine and would probably be easier to cut and work with than other fabric.

Yay! You're welcome!

Yay Mr. K!

And good luck! ^_~

Um, I'm guessing the point is to have them look jagged, right? Otherwise you would hem them. Hmm...why not try painting them with glue? It might be cleaner-looking and stronger.

That is the cutest icon. Ever. Oh Lon Lon Ranch! ^^

Where is connceticon?!? Tell me! I just moved to Massachusetts, and I need to find some cosplay action! I'm confident I could do a mean L or Light Yagami. I've actually been told that twice. Send me some more information, please!

Priceless moment: Neji declaring himself the handsome devil! XD

Anything with Rock Lee makes me happy. XD And you got his little speech patterns down pretty well. Right on!

Yes, a friend of mine once made a Temari fan, and that's how she did it! But without the washers, I think--that's a great improvement. Don't be afraid to use powertools! And just make sure your fan frame is done before you attach the fabric. :D Hardware store. Employee: What are you buying this stuf...

I think young cosplayers are awesome! Personally, I've seen like four-year-olds in costume. That was their parents' doing, but still I've seen some ten-year-old-looking kids in groups with older kids. And when you think about it, it's probably the people in their late twenties who should be feeling ...

I'm sorry this happened to you! :oops: It's tough with buying anything online; both the buyer and the seller want to exchange at the same exact time so neither of you gets ripped off. Starkyshark has some good suggestions...I hope this doesn't discourage you from cosplaying! The only thing I can thi...

Oh my god!! That "Sephi Bed Head" wig is freakin' awesome! :o Too bad it was laid to rest, it could have been the piece de resistance of a ~Sephiroth Pajama Party!~ costume. XD But yeah, nice wigs can get really expensive...sometimes you can get good enough quality ones from Hong Kong for like $15. ...

I suppose it was only a matter of time before this thread became ::Super Glitter Magic Flirt Land!::

I know you need more detailed instructions than this, but I have a tip for pleats. Get your skirt fabric in a long strip and iron in all the pleats before you sew the sides of the skirt together. When all the pleats are set in the long strip, you can try it on, get the right fit, and THEN sew the si...

Umm, I don't know what series you like, or if you'd rather cosplay a girl or guy, but here's some random thoughts off the top of my head... Fuu (Samurai Champloo) Kazuki (Get Backers) Fuji (Prince of Tennis) Yuya Shiina (Samurai Deeper Kyo) Wolfram (Kyo Kara Maoh) I'm sure you could pull off a great...
