Cosplay, my name is ANAL.
Now with AP Calculus downgraded to Honors Calculus, Anatomy and Physiology has been dropped, and my Early Action application to UConn is nearly finished, it's time to start thinking seriously about my next cosplay project: Yoko Ritona.
This means I've been spending my afternoon researching materials and techniques before I start buying anything. I plan to use aluminum sheeting and copper pipe for the gun--you bet your ass I'm making it from scratch! I may make it light up. I dunno, we'll see.
I already picked out the wig I'll be using (but I need to wait for Cosworx to get a new shipment before I can order it.) Having no experience in wigstyling, I've been looking at tutorials. I fell across this monstrosity while researching:
hyper linkin'
You call this accurate? It looks like a shoddy five-minute job. No one's hair grows like that, even fictitious anime characters.
If you think that's bad, you should see their Kamina wig. I suppose it would be pretty accurate if Kamina was an emo kid. Or maybe the hair that Kamina and Viral's hatechild would have. Who is emo. Not only that, but look at the picture of the product they're selling, and then look at the picture of the cosplayer. It's not even the same wig!
..why does this advertisement say "get up and play an hour a day?" I guess all LJ users are grossly overweight. Just like all convention-goers are obese 40-year-old virgin men who awkwardly ask sexy cosplayers like me for pictures for their "anime photo album!!11!" No, I'm serious. Someone did this to me at ConnectiCon. I'm glad that my con-goin' buddies are all 6+ foot men. Look, guys, if you're gonna take a picture of someone attractive who is cosplaying, don't tell them what you're gonna do with the picture. We don't care...or want to know. Seriously. Besides, I think my candid shots come out looking far better than posing shots. ...I wonder if that means I should work on my posing. hm.
ENDTANGENT. I should start LJ-cutting my entries.
And...oh god yessssss
