This is probably old but...
Nov. 14th, 2005 10:17 am[edit] btw, I'll be home this Christmas. Anybody got anything planned here in London?
( How Many Students Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb at... )
*laughing very hard* Oh, but this is all so TRUE (ok, perhaps not Cardiff >_>). Bath, LSE, UCL... oh my. XDDDDD
Yes, I went to Imperial. WOE. XD Sometimes I wonder why I'm still only relatively insane (and even managed to watch anime and RP during that time). We did seem to have had it much harder than everyone else, even the Oxbridgers. Perhaps because we're all a tiny bit lower in IQ but trying to achieve the level of the Oxbridgers?

The thing about cosplay is, it's easier for girls to cosplay as male characters than the other way around, because 1) it's usual for girls to wear trousers, 2) most anime boys are pretty as girls and so very slim, 3) anime girls are far too girlish for guys to cosplay unless they do it for humour.
I'm looking at YJA and there is GSD cosplay clothing for sale everywhere. But I want to make one myself. Not because there's a cosplay event coming up, but it's just so pretty and making clothes is much fun! But here comes the question, should I make a male ZAFT uniform, or a female one?
[Poll #612029]
For ref:
Male uniform (1, 2)
Female uniform (1, 2)
Athrun's GSD outfit (1, 2 - I'd make it out of a different material though, need something heavier and shinier than that!)
Female cosplay would require wig. Athrun (ZAFT or GSD outfit) would not. I have short blue hair 8D And I'm probably no good posing in a girly way. XD But still. The girl uniform is pretty too. The good thing about the 3rd option is, I can wear the jacket afterwards, if I make it nice enough.
And? I'm so making myself Athrun and Mwu icons!
[edit] Any good books/sites for clothes-making? I know I can get paper patterns and I've done that for my Ed cosplay, but for that one it's just a single layer of thin cloth, it's not really a proper jacket which is well-shaped, with lining etc. So erm, any advice please?

Nov. 14th, 2005 07:59 pmTell me that if I combed my hair like this, that I don't look like I'm trying to cosplay Athrun >_>
Wait, the parting should be on the other side. XD
And my hair is actually really blue under the sun, as Hana knows! It's just the lighting in the room.
