OH HEY welcome to the comment party! I don't use my DW either... I have this account for commenting and whatnot. THANKS for your comments on the costumes!!! I was getting kind of worried because for a while I honestly thought that costume was just not gonna happen, but then it like... seriously flew together at the last minute (thanks to the dollar store. Seriously. Dare I say that LOCKE FOUND MANY TREASURES THERE).
Yes it is a tattoo... it looks really weird in these photos because of the way it's cut off, but yeah. It takes up most of my upper arm. I can't wait to get another, actually XD
Christ. Here I come back to post some SRS FANDOM BIZNIZ shit about Gundam Wing and FFIV and suddenly DER R POASTS EVERYWERE LULZ.
Okay, so for now, I'll just um, address the costume question. ^_^
Really glad you all liked it. Edgar's situation as sort of a dollar store spending spree. Well, I got some children-size hockey gear, and then sewed a bunch of crap onto it basically. The entire thing is made of a few placemats, a bathmat, and curtains. I had a really fun time trying to sew fringe to that blue shit...but the armor was hardcore. However, I personally thought the blue stuff looked cool. But that's basically what it is--a blue plastic bath mat (wow, I'm making myself sound really cool) sewed over hockey gear, which has blue fabric sewed over it to cover the annoying logo bits. The pink bits are place mat-things, the sparkly shit is like, earrings I took apart or something and sewed on, and the shoulder bits with the fabric are...fabric, that I sewed on. I sewed on a lot of shit. So that's what it was! :) Glad you liked it. Some lady at the third booth in at anime Artist's Alley was like, "IS THAT DAMASK? I LOVE YOUR DAMASK," not knowing who I was supposed to be...yet that quote was probably my favorite part of the con, except for the doujinshi girl telling me that Rufus/Tseng was "the way to go." FTW. But either way, it was fun, and as deadcellredux mentioned, we're totally going back next year. ^_^
LOL, you are talking to someone who used children's elbow- and knee-pads to craft shoulder armor for a femme!Jecht. Not that it was AWESOME armor but it more or less worked. I love creative crafting! If you go back will you wear the same costumes or try new ones?
And yeah.. . This entry exploded! HEY THIS IS FOR SERIOUS GUNDAM WING/FFIV TALK TOO, EVERYONE, FEEL FREE TO JOIN IN
(I just get excited talking about cons in my adulthood)
I will totally get back to the SRS GW/FFIV TALKZ SOON...when my brain isn't spliced into like, 50 pieces. (Generally, THIS IS WHAT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ARE FOR IN MY WORLD--the days I'm off.)
Anyway, I also love creative crafting!! I'm shit at sewing, but what I can do is make stuff if you give me materials. I actually have become really fond of making costumes, and a few times in the last couple years I've made some Halloween costumes that turned out surprisingly well. And it's fun, especially when the final product doesn't COMPLETELY suck balls. There were tons of things I could've improved on obviously, but damn, I WAS EDGAR FUCKING FIGARO FOR LIKE, THREE DAYS OKAY YEAH. Anyway, hah, next year we'll definitely go as something else. I honestly am really quite fond of the drag!Cloud and Honeybee Inn hookers in hornet costumes idea that deadcellredux's boyfriend came up with. WE'LL SEE. ^_^ I'm sure you will, BUT PLEASE POST TONSSS OF YOUR GUNDAM WING COSPLAY PICS. OMG.
