 Clothes and cosplay. Mmmm.
Friday, June 11, 2010
Yes, I know I just finished blogging and all, but I think I should tell you that earlier today, I was having a chat with my lovely husband, Anelle, and we were talking about cosplaying. I hope to be going to the College of Saint Benilde next year, and according to someone who studies there who I will not name, because I know that Jean doesn't like being named (XD), it's a common occurrence for students to come to school dressed up all crazy.
Then I had a brilliant idea. Why don't I cosplay to school?! 8D
I already have a few planned out. I want them to be easy to make, but still fun to wear and all that. I don't want to stand out too much, as I'll probably be commuting and all, so I guess Xenogears outfits are totally out of the question. Here are a few cosplays I want to do~
Aerith Gainsborough
 I've always wanted to cosplay Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII, and I believe that her costume will be easy enough to make. I plan on cosplaying her AC version. Her dress pink, a little above the ankles. Nothing too complicated. Her brown boots are easy to find, I suppose, and her bangles won't be too much of a problem. What I'm worried about is her jacket. I need to find a good red denim material, which could be a bit of a hassle. And then there are those leather loops in her jacket. >_> With that aside, this should be easy enough to pull off.
I found a very lovely wig on eBay earlier today; I'm still contemplating whether I should buy it, or just tie my hair in a pink ribbon, since I'm only going to school after all. Decisions. The wig costs around P2,400, which isn't bad for something this nice. I should be able to save up for it after a few months. Here's a picture.

Next cosplay options are from the Phoenix Wright series.
Ema Skye Heeeeeee, Ema. She's the only one out of my cosplay choices who won't give me problems with the hair, since I can easily put my hair in that style. I've got the bangs, after all. 8D The lab coat should be easy enough to obtain, though I can't seem to find one with the right lapels... Her shirt would be a pink polo shirt, and I could have her vest made. I'll have to hunt for the skirt. I don't think finding a bag like that would be too hard, and I think I've got the socks already. Shoes, I'll have to buy, and her red neck ribbon, I'll have to make myself. What worries me are her badges, the vials in her bag, and her all-important pink shades. D: This could be the most complicated one out of all my cosplay choices. Ini Miney My only real problem would be the wig. xD I mean, looooook. Her outfit's really easy to recreate. I think I have bell-bottoms like hers lying around somewhere! I can make the bracelets myself. Her sweater will be a tiny bit tricky, but meh. I'm sure there's a short-sleeved orange sweater out there somewhere. All I'll have to do is draw on it. 8D And the beret can be found most anywhere. I guess I can just recycle Aerith's boots, if ever, for Ini's shoes. Dahlia Hawthorne Again, apart from Dollie's parasol, the only real problem I'll have here is her wig. Her white dress is easily made, and I'm sure that I can buy lace for it. Transparent fabric, I have seen. I'll just have to buy a few yards of that, and I'll be fine. The white shoes are generic. I don't think I really have to put on the butterflies as they look tacky, but I guess I can always make them out of heavy paper and stick them on. And yeah, the parasol. D: How am I gonna get that, I wonder? Well, anyway, there's been a change in dress code at CSB, apparently. No mini skirts and no sleeveless tops. There go my Ema and Dahlia cosplays. ~_~ So yeah. Anelle and I were talking about cosplays, and she was adamant that I let her be my photographer. :l I seriously don't see why not, but I'd much rather she cosplay with me. The topic turned to clothes, as I was rummaging through eBay in search of costume items, and instead came up with a few interesting finds, among which were these awesome pink fishnet armwarmers, this cute corset, an awesome bag. @_@ I'll have to look through eBay more tomorrow-- er, later today.
Looking at the back of my bedroom door, I see my collection of shoelaces, belts, caps, bags, and ties. Not forgetting my collection of jewelry, a part of which are my awesome zipper earrings 8D, as well as my various socks and armwarmers, not to mention my shades... Gah. I've an accessory fetish, it seems. It's either that, or I'm a packrat. *shrugs*
Okaaaaay, I've babbled enough for one night. Later, all.

Welcome~
I've had visitors since January 5, 2010.
Hello! You've made your way to http://for-a-million-reasons.blogspot.com, otherwise known as my little corner of the internet.
Don't forget to leave a comment on my tagboard! Thank you~ ♥
Please use the links on top to navigate through my site. ♥
Kay, so this blog was set up for the purpose of expressing my thoughts and views about things to everyone. It also serves as my public online journal.
By the way, I can get pretty insane, so a lot of what I'll be posting won't make sense. If any of you die because of brain damage due to brain cells dying at a rapid pace, I am not liable at all. You've been warned.
But seriously, though. I'm not that bad. D: I'm just misunderstood.
The views expressed in this blog are a matter of opinion, and I don't give a sheep if you're offended by them in any way.
That's also unlikely to happen since you probably don't give a sheep about whatever I post here anyway, lul.
Also, the layout I'm using at present is not mine, though I've altered the codes. Not by much, though? xD Yeah, yeah.
Have fun. :]
Ask me anything. (:
Uh. Tweet?
Rewind
