/cosplay rant/
Omgosh... I am suffering from massive COSPLAY OVER - FREAKIN' - LOAD
This happens all the time to me when I cosplay or do costumes. I choose something and then I think about it... and then I start it... and then I choose something else. Then I decide maybe I"ll do both, then I decide I want to do something completly different. Meanwhile, time, money and effort are drained.
It's so hard though because I wanna pick the perfect outfit and the perfect character and be really good at it.
It's very important to me to have fun, have a well-made outfit, and have a nice little crowd of fans that understand me (...though I'm still undecided about creepy stalker fans...)
I'm having trouble with this Sakura Con's cosplays because I want to make sure I"m choosing characters I"ll have fun cosplaying. I like to really get into character (if others haven't already noticed that...) and so I try to gauge which characters will be funnest. But I've been out of the convention family for a year or two now... and I have no idea what the feel is anymore. Thus my decisions are bouncing off the walls randomly.
And I really don't know what's with all this... 'limiting new cosplays and trying to do old ones' attitude is from that I"m seeing/hearing. I never use old cosplays unless they are extra fun. I enjoy making the outfits and making good use out of them in a short time and then moving on. I just love new things too I guess.
Anyways, Sakura Con 2009.... so far...
I'm no longer doing Miyuki from Lucky Star. I wanted to be her and my sister wanted me to be her. But the wig I was getting cancelled on me and there is no way I"ll be getting a new one in time. So I just decided not to do her. I might do her in the future for my sister but I don't know yet. /sigh
I'm working on my USA costume for Hetalia. It's going... painfully slow. I want to be *perfect* and it's hard to match the shade of jacket when the jacket keeps changing in the manga/anime!
I've also decided to do Butler!Grell (with Version A: Blood splatter and Version B: Super!Moe Orange Bows and Noose). Its a super easy costume. I already have the pants, shirt, and wig. I hope to find the jacket and gloves. I found perfect glasses but got outbidded on ebay for them so the hunt continues. Anyways, this is my closet cosplay and I"m kinda not putting that much effort into it XD.
And if I don't add anything on.... that'll be it. I can't accept that. I HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER COSPLAY!
But I don't know what! (and I have 28 days or so to whip it together)
I'm thinking another Hetalia character. I was considering Rome because I want to be him anyways later on... but there is no way I can find not-cheesy armor in time. So now I'm considering Latvia...
But if I cosplay Latvia, my sister wants to be Sealand which contradicts the Russia costume I'm already making her. My mom already started making the Sealand costume too. Grawr!
...maybe I"ll be Russia. *mutter*
And for some reason... I bought a Belarus wig randomly today. ......I don't really know why, but it was cheap and pretty.
Oh, but I also know for whatever convention I go to next... or whatever... I really want to put together an Undertaker costume. So if another Kuroshitsuji group starts to form for the future, I call Undertaker for this one. I really like Finian but I just know I wouldn't have fun being in character with him........ he's too... average.
I don't like to be average.
/heropose
Oh and I'm also sick.... and in the midst of finals in my last quarter before I get my A.A. and in the middle of trying to transfer to UW (hopefully), and moving next week or so.
Ugh.
PS: I will take suggestions of what my random third cosplay should be..........
