How many Sailor Scouts do we see that are men?

...That we want to see in a fuku. {ducking}

You haven't seen Sailor Bubba yet. Though I'd take him over the guy Jupiter I kept spotting at Acen this year *shudder*

Yes, that was the one I was trying to bleach off my mental eyeballs... {shudder}

Okay, all weekend and I NEVER saw this cosplayer. In fact, I only spotted a handful of Sailor Scouts this year. Although, I did see some really well done fancy crossplaying, like I think one was another Rose of Versailles cosplayers.

You can leave a comment with any more thoughts, or you can DM me.

You gave me your email before, yeah? ( I am actually being organized early on with this...)

Pssst.... I ran out of characters on that last question. Your form does not allow for long winded people like me! :-P

Yes, but you I can videotape **ahem** in person a lot easier.

My answer to question 4, since the word limit wasn't NEARLY long enough:

There are four factors for me: looks, costume, personality, and my group.

I like to cosplay in a group, so the initial narrowing down basically involves us all deciding on a source material or theme, and then branching out from there. (EXAMPLE: "I'd really like to do both Jacobi!Master and Simm!Master for CONvergence this year." "Okay, hmm...OH, I could do a female Jack!" "That's perfect! I'm sure Alex will want to do Lucy. And I think Tess has already been working on a Dalek Dress." "Cool, I've been meaning to put together an Eleven outfit." "Great, is your dad tagging along again? We can put him in a TARDIS t-shirt!" etc.)

As for looks, I'm not a fan of wigs, so I prefer to do characters where I can just use my natural hair. I also prefer to do characters where I can put the costume on, and at least look reasonably like the actual character, so I try to stick at least within the ballpark of my facial features/body type/etc ( ... )
