Of cosplay and great finds
So, it looks like I really will be doing a Hetalia cosplay at Sakuracon (along with my Hakkai cosplay). Up until today I was unsure whether I should do it or not since I wasn't willing to spend a lot of time on making the costume. In other words, it all depended on whether or not I could find a good (and cheap) coat that wouldn't need many alterations. And guess what? I found one! It's a proper army coat that only cost me 10 dollars since I got it second-hand. I honestly wasn't expecting to find anything usable, so imagine my surprise when I really did find something! I was originally looking for a coat for a Finland-san costume, but the coat I found is actually perfect for a Sweden-san costume, so I'm changing my plans and going as Sweden instead. I'm actually happier that I can go as Sweden, since I like his character a lot more than I like Finland. Finland is portrayed as the small and cute type (and I don't like that type!) whereas Sweden is a stoic, cool guy. I think I just felt obliged to go as Finland since I'm Finnish. But screw that, I'm going as Sweden.
Now I just need to order some wigs...
