I...worked on Albel(P3 ver) and I realized something.
There's no way I can finish that costume...with the vinyl I have. It's way too stiff. My machine can handle it, sure, but I can't. I have to jerk and tug for it to fit underneath my machine as I'm doing the sleeves or tacking down the seams or whatever and I actually got tired doing that. That and I have to fight the jacket to get it on or off. Why is that tiring?!
I may still try but I am sure as hell not making PANTS out of that fabric. (I still need to line that jacket and add the zipper, too. eerrrgh.)
Of course this won't be for Anime Los Angeles...there's no way to get the wig in time. I ordered my other wigs (Szayel, Akihiko, Natsuhiko Taki) and I...probably won't get them in time either. I may get Ino and Sai's wigs in time but I can't be sure. (Also secret cosplay #1 with purple and armor's wig was ordered as well but I don't have wonderflex D'X)
And yes, Leslie, I ordered your shoes awhile ago too. So don't worry. If you don't get them in time you can...um, demote Katy to ex-ex-ex-espada. 8Db
On a video game related note...I bought Tales of the Abyss off Ebay, but the game stopped working after 1 hour or so into it. Sucks but I got my money back. I still wanna plaaay eeeeeet :'(
