Aw! I wish I could be in it but I'll be in a float for STAGES, if I see you guys I will most definitely come up to you guys if I can (with some of my friends)! I can still remember it from last year, mainly the InuYasha and Axis (the InuYasha was so cool).

If I'm not working by then, and if I'm feeling a bit nutty, I might be tempted to show up in my British redcoat uniform (which I'm making for a LARP totally unconnected with con).

I'd love to do this, I have a Maid!Dragonite cosplay (from Pokemon) that would be PERFECT for this!
Title: Re: 4th of July Parade in Hillsboro
Post by: Shingami_lover on June 05, 2012, 04:40:17 pm
DasBombadillo- Well it is fine but if you do have a cosplay that is Anime related that is best

Pixie- Super... Just make sure you have comfortable shoes
Title: Re: 4th of July Parade in Hillsboro
Post by: Titus_Love_Doll on June 05, 2012, 05:16:20 pm

Title: Re: 4th of July Parade in Hillsboro
Post by: DasBombadillo on June 06, 2012, 12:34:58 pm
I do have a good number of anime costumes, but I'm not sure they'd be suitable for a parade - i.e. the shoes may not be comfortable for such an undertaking.
Title: Re: 4th of July Parade in Hillsboro
Post by: Titus_Love_Doll on June 06, 2012, 12:38:49 pm
yeah  try to wear costumes that shoes are good for walking.  and dont wear something that will make you over heat and bring water bottles o.o maybe if someone has a small wagon we can put water bottals in so when someone needs one we can give them one as well. its sopost to be very hot that day

Post by: Pixie on June 14, 2012, 03:26:24 pm
I would like to switch my offered cosplay, Maid!Dragonite is too warm....

Could cosplay Tsubasa's Sakura, instead? specifically, in the cherry blossom festival kimono/dress she wore in a manga special.  Very detailed and eye-catching, though I doubt that many people would recognize the outfit as a Sakura cosplay :'(.
Title: Re: 4th of July Parade in Hillsboro
Post by: nikkiolie on June 14, 2012, 05:01:22 pm
So I got my cosplay I should be able to make it if you still need people.
Title: Re: 4th of July Parade in Hillsboro
Post by: Shingami_lover on June 15, 2012, 10:28:01 am
Pixie- That is fine you need to be comfortable

Nikki - Of course you can come
Title: Re: 4th of July Parade in Hillsboro
Post by: Pixie on June 22, 2012, 11:34:50 pm
Bad news.... Because of a string of recent events, I can't afford the gas required to travel to Hillsboro.  I was looking forward to coming, but I have to stay and straighten out the mess that I made.

I'm sorry for backing out, please don't throw things at me!

*ducks incoming flowerpot*

Post by: Shingami_lover on June 24, 2012, 10:44:50 am
It is fine! I understand the no gas thing. I am not a violent person so you will not have anything thrown at you

Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on June 25, 2012, 02:34:52 pm
I've found out the hard way that if I want accuracy, I'd go with Inuyasha. But if I want comfort and be easy to recognize, I'm pulling Luigi out!
Title: Re: 4th of July Parade in Hillsboro
Post by: Titus_Love_Doll on June 26, 2012, 08:23:39 pm

The add on are closed... but please go to facebook to do final check ins

Maydock- If it is easy to walk in fine

Titus - OK

Jason- I am going as InuYasha and I am really trying not to have repeats so Lugi would be great

Post by: Titus_Love_Doll on June 27, 2012, 04:11:30 pm
you now he can do the human inuyasha that be kinda cool,

my girlfriend said she might go as ciel or furret and my friend said shes going to go as a hunter or tomberry from ff series. so.
Title: Re: 4th of July Parade in Hillsboro *FULL*
Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on June 28, 2012, 01:10:12 am
I was going for Luigi anyway. When I said I learned the hard way about my Inu cosplay, I meant that I tried putting it on in a hurry inside the men's bathroom of a store on a hot day...didn't get very far. Plus at this point both my white and black wigs need help or a funeral. Luigi however is loose, mobile, loveable and properly accessorized.

I'll keep tabs on the FB page then.

Actually, because my GF wants to come along and Kagome is her only readily available cosplay, save for Kurama (Yu Yu hakusho) in his yellow tournament outfit, I'm thinking of coming as human Inuyasha instead. In case plans change, I'm still going to have Luigi as a backup.
