I haven't even started on the Jindai summer uniform that I plan on wearing to Saboten yet, but I at least got my wig for Kaname cosplay, and with lots of help from Mika, it has been styled! Well, that was a couple weeks ago now, but, yeah... I haven't gotten around to the ribbon part yet (got the fabric for it, but I just went from having strep to an injured back right after the other so I haven't felt like dealing with it) Anyways, we did a test run when we'd finished the wig, put some make-up on me... My husband has a set of fatigues that a friend of his that was USAF gave him a long time ago for playing paintball. So, naturally, Kaname cosplay, fatigues, why not, right? XD I have my trusty harisen and Glock 19, too~ As a note on the styling of the wig -- The front bangs WERE in the right place, I keep pushing them aside without thinking about it, and with all the gel and hairspray, they kinda... decided to stay off to the side... Oops... I have to fix that. And stop doing that.

Nice. Though somehow I don't think they'd let you carry that Glock at any of my local cons. My only cosplay outfit is for Ozma Lee from Macross Frontier (I'm not pretty enough to pull off Alto).

Hee, probably not XD Shame. I have no bullets, so I'd be more scared of the harisen! ...Well, maybe not. Being pistol whipped HURTS /experience This is my second cosplay, but my first serious one. I bought my last cosplay and didn't bother with wig or makeup. I really need to get to work on the uniform... If I remember, I'll try taking progress shots, but I probably won't 'cause I'm lazy like that. Also gotta get to work on everything for my husband's Sousuke cosplay... He wants to do rugby Sousuke, but I'm gonna talk him out of it, 'cause it's harder than I thought it would be to find what I need, and I really don't wanna do the Kaname to match it, lol I need to lose weight, some of the pictures we took came out really bad because of the fat I do have... And until then, I need to pick my chin up in pictures to avoid the double-chin look... >.< The boots were fun to wear with this outfit, but I can't walk in them XDDD If I could, I'd consider it for the con for an 'off' day, lol, but... Not happening, no way, not gonna walk around all day in shoes I can barely stand in. XD Anyone got any ideas for the kinds of shoots I should try to do? ^^ I wanna have lots of fun with this now that I've got the wig, lol, and for photoshoots, I can do just about any outfit I want. The con I wanna be in proper uniform for, of course, but for any other time it doesn't matter. I know at some point, I wanna go up into the mountains (sounds far, it's a 10min drive lol) and take some desert photos with the fatigues, but I won't be able to have the Glock since I'll be in a state parkpublic and all that. My husband has a pretty crappy airsoft gun that's a good model of some Beretta or another, I don't remember which one. Might use that for photos on public grounds, since it's got the orange safety tip and all that fun stuff.

Tell your husband that rugby Sousuke is kind of obscure. The hiking boots I wear as part of my costume are pretty good aside from being a tad narrow in the toes on one side, but I can still feel it after spending most of a day on my feet in them. I normally wear shoes, not hiking boots, so I'm not really used to walking/standing in them. I can also relate on the weight thing. I'm actually trying to do some decently intensive stuff to slim down before a con at the end of the month.

Hee, yar~ I wouldn't mind maybe doing a photo shoot of it one day, but not really good for the con, I feel XD
Hiking boots are funny like that... I have a pair and they do the same thing. I have small feet, and they're STILL tight at the front. Must be something in the way they're designed, I'm thinking.
Good luck! ^^ I gotta actually start exercising again myself, as well as eating better. We keep falling into bad habits...

So, I kinda ruined the last wig (idiot me tried to brush it when it was wet, the last 6 inches or so are just pure frizz, it's awful), so I bought a new one. It's a different color, but far more convenient. They offer bang clips and wefts in this color, both of which I bought. I sewed wefts to wig clips, and voila! No cut or style required! I'm kinda starting to get a hang of the whole make up thing, too, although my attempt last night, the eyeliner got smudged without me noticing so I don't have many decent pics. Here's my closet cosplays over the last few days. OUTDOORS: Done today, our son was out this morning having slept over with my parents' last night, so I had some daylight to work with. Our unlandscaped backyard provided such a lovely desert wasteland background for this XDDD (Ugh, landscaping is going to be done soon, gonna contact someone this week...) Today was also the day I realized that if I clip the sidelocks UNDER the wig, directly to the wig cap, then it looks better, hides more, and stays with less trouble. DRESS: This is the one where my eyeliner got messed up. The hair also had a bit of trouble XD It had been okay at first, but it sat too long, too heavy, wasn't done with longevity in mind, so it just had issues. SKIRT AND JACKET: Two days ago, first day I started messing with this more seriously and took pics. Happy I found an outfit I still look cute in and hides the fact that I still have weight to lose XD

For some reason I am very curious about what led to this one.

XD There was a spiky plant that I put my hand on. I picked little thorns out of my hand, put my hand back, and it happened again XDDD That was me reacting to having put my hand on it a second time lol

And the picture before it was after you put your hand down on it the first time?
Also, is that one with the black dress based on a piece of artwork? It seems kind of familiar.
