[Konan-ChanX3]

Very carefully? I'm not to sure..

[chelseahavoc]

CAMPING FOAM IS GOD

thats how i made yuffies ninja star and lanis giant axe

[KinkyFriedChicken]

Any idea were to find this? :000

Thank yoooou Chel.

[Konan-ChanX3]

any camping supply store?

[chelseahavoc]

i got it at walmart in the camping secion... and i used lots AND LOTS of ductape

[KinkyFriedChicken]

A lot of the GI Joes and what not have closed down lately...so we really have no camping stores. x D
I'll ask around though!
8D

[Konan-ChanX3]

All G.I. Joes closed, and they're starting up again as the original Ma and Pa store 'Joe's'

But yeah, Chel was right about Walmart.

[KinkyFriedChicken]

AH DURP. I seriously can't beleive I missed the whole....Wallmart thing. x D I've gone bliiiind~
Thank you Mother and Chel~ c:

[Konan-ChanX3]

Your welcome my son

[Kimba-White-Lion]

I plan on going as Zack Fair's Tonberry summon, IF I can finish the outfit on time.  

[soundninja12]

<3
Tonberries are pretty much amazing :3

[Konan-ChanX3]

they're adorable, ffffuuuu I need to get to work on my cosplay

[chelseahavoc]

only if it doesnt chase me... like the last tornberry did... ;____; it was scary...

[Konan-ChanX3]

I had a gijinka Bahamut Furry chase me around when I had jacked Zack's Zack wig a few years back at scon.

[Chibiorochimaru]

tornberry = win
simple as that n.n

[Konan-ChanX3]

Yes, Tonberry does indeed = win.

[soundninja12]

THERE WAS A TONBERRY AT SAKURA-CON
I GOT ALL CRAZY EXCITED AND STARTED SQUEEING ABOUT.
IT. WAS. AWESOME.

[Chibiorochimaru]

xDDD I'd love to squee at a tornberry

[soundninja12]

When I get around to uploading all of my photos, I will make sure to post pictures of the bitchin' tonberry of inconceivable awesome

[chelseahavoc]

@dana: HECK YES

[Konan-ChanX3]

Dana, YUSH!

[Squallity]

Kristi's probably going to hate it and demand styling rights, but... 

My Hope wig came toddaaaay.  ♥

[Squallity]

Needs to be trimmed a bit.~

Especiaalllyyy the bangs, right?  Man oh man, they, like, attack my eyes pretty bad sometimes. And it's hard to see 'cause they're so thick and derpy.

But sadly I don't have a wig-head right now, but if I get mine back sometime soon or get another one, I'll probably work on it. Kind of scared to destroy it, though. It's so nice and soft. ♥

[Konan-ChanX3]

it's pretty~

[Squallity]

it's pretty~

Baw, thank you. ♥

I originally bought a scarf for him, so I'm chopping that up to look more bandana-like now. ^_^ Probably start his jacket-thing this weekend. ♥

I'm, like, really excited. I've been kind of derpy lately when it's come to cosplay, because all/most of my other ones I have planned are really extensive, but Hope has given me newfound...well, hope.

I was looking through pictures of Kumoricon 2009 a few weeks ago, and I saw a Genesis. I got so mad at myself for missing him. XD I hope he comes again; that would be BOMB.

/random but I love Crisis Core hey ♥

[ieatcornchipsyo]

Hello. xD  Nobody here knows me, but I'm here with that crazy above me. <3
We really want to go to Kumoricon together, even though I'm mileeess away. :/
In which, we'd be Hope and Snow. ^___^ <3  Though my Hope would need to help me prepare like crazy. o__o XD
I'm still trying to find a way to save up the money to get there and to convince my parents to let me go.
<3333 I really want to try hard though, because my God, it'd be the most special thing that could ever happen to me.
So we shall see.  I just thought I'd try cracking into the boards with a post. xD And to get the plan into my mind even more.

Frankie protect me this is so awkward.

[Squallity]

@Sephy: Oh hey you finally got your activation thing, yo. xD

I found out today that I'm only three inches taller than Hope's "actual height." And he's like two or three years younger than me, hauuuu... xD

I can't even remember how we reversed our roles (i.e. me roleplaying Snow, you Hope), and then we ended up cosplaying the opposite. xD So if you'd feel more comfortable as Hope, you could cosplay him. Although you are, like, what, 5'9"? And I am, what, 5'0" 5'3", yo?

I don't care. xD Awkwardly heighted couples are the best. ♥

It isn't awkward at all.

/sits and waits and watches and rofls at your awkward XD

Even if we only end up being able to go together, like, next year, that gives us even more rad time for things, so that we can do Squall/Cloud, too. ♥

I officially dubbed this long ago, but I dub once more: I am your official wig-finder, yo. XD To the internet~

[ieatcornchipsyo]

I did. XD  I saw it when I was at school and I was like ";^; But I want to touch it."
And my teacher was like, "|: do your work or I'll beat you with my coffee."

XD I think it was just spontaneous.
But I like it like this too. ~
<3 Like I said, you make a cute little Hope.
And I like to squish the little cute ones. XD

<333 Yes.
And I can bring my camera and some random camera guy.
Or we can do the timer and be like /FLAIL TO GET IN THE SHOT IN ONCE PIECE.

I'm going to try to find some sewing classes this summer.
That way, I can learn basics and such so that when preparations need to be done,
I can do things the way I want and not run blindly at them. xD
I'm aiming at a job too.  Because dayem cosplay + plane + pass = not poor-friendly. XD D;

I need a Leon wig. XD
And tons of belts.
The belts will be fun. <3

[Squallity]

Yeah, we are pretty spontaneous. XD

Ffff that makes it sound like you want to eat Hope with a spoon or step on him like a twig, and I'm not sure which. XDD

Are you talking about at the convention? THAT'S FINE, you don't have to pay for a camera guy - basically everyone at a con has a camera. Except me. Which sucks. But I can totally see Hope ending up tackling Snow to get into the picture so. XD

...If you want to come to Kumoricon, you should probably stop giving me all your money and letting me buy over-priced Zack Fair and/or Cloud Strife action figures with it. Just sayin'. And good. Then you can sew for me. XD And life will be good. I have to start doing my Senior Project, though, and I'm doing it on cosplay, but...I was going to make Hope my Senior Project (I think), but then I realized that he's probably "too easy" for it, and I already started him, so... I need an epically hard cosplay to do for that. XD Your Squall's Cloud? Probably...pretty high up there. But maybe I should do Crisis Core Cloud... that would probably freak out the people I have to present it to...somewhat less than Advent Children Cloud. It's rad because whoever I choose to make, I have to wear as I make a ten minute speech to members of the coh-moo-neh-tay. XD

I should probably look extensively at Squall's belts, because otherwise I'd offer you all my tons of old belts. XD (But, then again, we could do a rad I-Am-Recycled-and-Made-of-Random-Oregon-Recyclables!Squall. ♥ And if it's dark enough, we can use the pleather from my Haou Johan cosplay, and and and and! ♥♥♥ ...I am wayy too hippie. XD) If your Lockon wig was a little darker, you could probably double-up, but...

Well, I dunno, you make the...uh, opinion? It's your head, after all.

Kingdom Hearts Squall: http://www.wikisquare.com/_media/kh2/personnage/kh2-squall-1.jpg

Lockon Wig: http://cgi.ebay.com/GUNDAM-00-LOCKON-SHORT-WAVY-CURLY-BROWN-COSPLAY-WIG-/310220480278?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item483a94df16#ht_3686wt_989

I'm sorry, I want that wig just because...just because. XD I really like it. It looks really soft. And stuff. And the seller is the same people/person I bought my Hope wig from, so I assume it'll be soft and nice smelling and of good quality, yo. ...We're so derpy we're probably just going to buy it, anyways. XD

Do you think Final Fantasy will ever get the following that YGOTAS has gotten? :/ ...And, well, Crisis Core, at least? YGOTAS kind of has a cosplay group-ish thing going on, so I think it'd be rad if we had many a Genesis singing Milkshake and Sephiroths saying "Do a barrell roll," and stuff. Oh, and Hojos sounding like demented birds. (And we'd all wear flip-flops; it would be our TRADEMARK. ♥) Because this would make me exceedingly happy, you know? And if no one else does it, then we have to. Because I call you Sephiroth and Angeal. XD And you call me Zack and Cloud and stuff.

We gotta go to the gym to buff up our arms,  yo. |: And, please don't let the image of me cosplaying Zack run through your mind right now, because, you know, I'm a shrimp. XDD

Genesis would eat me for breakfast. With chopsticks. And then he'd be like, "Wow, was that a shrimp? Dang, that was small...even for a shrimp. :V" And then he'd go fix his hair and put on his man-kup and Hope would get all huffy. xD

[chelseahavoc]

D: welcome to the forums and >.> YOUR DEMISE! (jk jk...) but as dana said... you will be eaten <3

[chelseahavoc]

^ xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

keep in mind im 20 and 5'3"

Terra: 5'3" or 5'7" and 18
Yuffie: 5'2" and 18 (in AC)
Selphie: 5' 1.5" and 17
Garnet: and 16
Lani:
yuna:5'3" and 17(x)/19(x-2)
rikku: 5'1" and 15(x)/17(x-2)
penelo: 5'3" and 17(12)/18(RW) (no i havent but im gonna cosplay her next year <3)
Vanille: 5'3" and 19

so except for garnet and lani... im pretty close in hight to my ff cosplay chars xD why do i sudenly feel realy old....

[chelseahavoc]

yes technicly its 543 or something like that

[Squallity]

@danayoki: I saw your Eureka.  And I was wondering if the shoes you have might work for Hope? I don't know anything about shoes or where to buy the right ones. XD Or, if you don't think they're the right kind, where do you think I could go about purchasing the kind Hope wears? I'm reaaaally shoe...illiterate. XD

[Squallity]

Whoa, those are pretty different from what I expected! I didn't even notice. XDD The photo I saw was taken from a really nice angle. ♥

I guess my next romp will be...white hi-tops, I think they're called? XD Which will probably end up being Converse...

Did you rip off the Converse sign on your shoes? I was looking at my mom's Converse, and the sticker-thing seems to be pretty on there. xD

[Squallity]

Ohhhh okay that makes more sense. xD I'm pretty unlucky, though, and will probably have to end up tearing up a pair of Converse. XD Probably dyeing them, too, if that'll even work...

YAAAAAAAY. 8D ♥ I still have to get a wig-head for mine, chop it up a little, and find some hair-wax and work with the bangs, and stuff. But I think I'm going to focus on his actual costume before I do that.

I got all of my supplies today except for his gloves, shoes, and...yellow fabric. <______> Which is utterly lame. xD We were at the Fabric Depot, and my mom didn't want me to get yellow fabric because she thought we'd find a yellow jacket I could chop up, but we ended up not, so...

I don't know when the next time I'll be able to go will be. :/ If it were easily accessible via bus, I would probably try going myself, but, otherwise, no. xD

[ieatcornchipsyo]

I WANT TO DO BOTH. XD  My Hope medicine.  <3
What if I sent you my camera for the con?
... would that even get through the mail?
I need one of those boxes from the mail people that ship anything for _____.
I'd be terrified of losing him. XD

THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA.  To do him for your project.
Because then you have double the reason and motivation. <3
What do you even have to talk about? o_o just random issues and stuff?
xD that's so dumb.  But the cosplay idea with it would make it so much better, it sounds like. <3

I LIKE THE RANDOM BELTS IDEA. <3
I have two belts that are all worn out and they're pretty regardless. XD
I wonder if I could end up lacing my whole body with them.  Like a giant belt outfit.
XD omg lady gaga fashion moments.

I was thinking that too!  About the wig.  It looks good on Leon.
I really want to buy it, too. XD
You're right, it looks so soft and nice. <33 I want it on my heeaaadd.
Though... I might want to buy two. xD  I'd have to style it like crazy.
And I'd be so scared of messing up Lockon's. ;^;

It is not my head. XD

I'm not sure, but I hope so. <333
Like you said, you're converting people, and I am too. XD
I'm finding more ff friends around school I didn't even know was in there.
People need to give it more attention, sometimes.
I know that a lot of people love it, but sometimes it feels like "the thing people missed."
|: people must give in to it.

XD WE SHOULD.
I don't like working out alone and you're the only one I'd like to with. XD <3
|: hey, I think you'd still make a good little Zackyfruitsnacky<3
You need no buff arms. |:  you need... toilet paper. XDDD Yesss.
It's okay I'm a shrimp toooo. XD  but a little bit of a taller shrimp.

WAIT. WHY AM I GOING TO BE EATEN? XD
I SWEAR TO GOD I TASTE LIKE LARD AND MINT.

[chelseahavoc]

YAY HOPE WIG

i do have a pair of tan airwalks (yay convese ripoffs!) that are high top and fuzzy on the inside... i got them at payless for 7 bucks... scarlet might use them for serah if she oks them...

[Squallity]

@Sephy: ...Weren't you actually going to send me your camera for last year's Kumoricon? XD I know someone offered to let me borrow theirs, and send it to me in the mail but... Yeah, it was probably you. XDD

Annnd for my speech I'd have to talk about making the cosplay and what I learned and the challenges of the awesomeness of Cloud and working with my mentor and how I met them and blah. XD Blahhh. "Issues?" Issues with Cloud? Pft. XDD Oh the sarcasm.

Why would you want to buy two? XD Everything looks good on Squall. |: Uh. Derp. XD

Oh, and you know that super duper riiiidicuuulousss absurdddd stupid omfg don't do it xD rad Oregon idea I mentioned? Well. Recycled!Squall. Seriously. xD Let's do it, yo. I imagine you'd actually be really into this kind of thing...

^^^ You can buy those bags at Walmart. They're SUPER MINTAGE. We could run around spreading the words and love and devotion of Final Fantasy, Cleon, insanity, and environmentalism...seriously, what more could a human being want? XD I could be your cardboard box Cloud. ...Yeah, that's seriously what first came to my mind. OH, CLOUD ♥

In no way am I an artist, but I tried to draw that cool belt I have in Paint:

http://i49.tinypic.com/261iy5e.png

So, yeah. Random-Belts-Recycled!Squall ftw. XD ♥♥♥ And, maaaaybe...Lulu has, like, her entire legs covered with belts, so, who knows.

http://gameinformer.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.Files/12/7024.lulu_2D00_final_2D00_fantasy_2D00_x.jpg

...My sister was going to cosplay her, but apparently life happened. xD And when she actually watched me playing FFX, she wanted to rip out her hair. Weeeellll. XD

I don't feel like FF is necessarily un-popularized...faaaaaaaaar from it, actually. xD I can be talking to my friends at school and most everyone in the room knows what we're talking about. Final Fantasy is just a staple to the video game world. But I want some flip flop fanning, yo. XD

No. XD You don't want to work out with me. XD We'd be running on the treadmills together and I'd be like, "So, Angeal. What's up. SO I HERD U LIEK MUDKIPZ, ANGEAL. Angeal. Angeal. Angeal. Angeal. Hey, Angeal. ANGEALLL -" And then your head would implode. XD And I would suck in all the exercise you got done into my musclesss.

FFF fruit snack Zack...dude, that's exactly the kind of Zack I'd make. XDD ...Oh, gosh, I'm trying to picture you cosplaying as Angeal, and just... XDDD Would you want to? XD Man, we need to tan, too...or did you get kind of tan from Marshfield? But, yeah. If you want to, I'll look for a wig... |: /opens eBay, orzorz orzz xDD  ♥

Well, I think Genesis would enjoy that. He likes Tostitos. Angeal is a Tostito.

I get to go back to the fabric store tomorrow because my mother is a derp who wishes to exchange things, yesssss. 8D So then I can get my yellow fabric for Hope and then freak out about not knowing how to sew collars and jackets and the such. xD

[ieatcornchipsyo]

I think so. XD I still want to.  I'd just like... need it back, sometime.
Because it's the only one my family has now and they'd freak out. Dx xD
I can still send it to you though. <33  Pictures are beautiful.
And then you don't need to wait for people to upload theirs every day like the bowling thing.
Though, you'd do that even with your own, wouldn't you? XD <3

That actually seems like a fun thing to talk about. XD
Because you can actually like it and not be like lolsothetenyearpactoffranceandsyria.

Well, because the first one would be Lockon and I'd leave it as it was, and then for the second one, I'd play with it and straighten it up a little, and get it darker, because I think it WOULD make a good Leon wig. XD D: But I wouldn't want to play around with Lockon and lose him forever.  I'm so nostalgic in those ways. XD

OMG THAT'S SO COOl. XD
I think we should do it. <333 and yesss about the retro rave belt. XD
Can we make that one light up an stuff?  XD we can take apart a disco ball.
And then it can be in the middle of my belt suit.

|: Life should never deprive one of cosplay.
Did she just lose interest or did she just decide not to like it anymore because she wanted to do other things?
I know what you mean.  A lot of people know about it.  It's hard to meet people who don't. XD
But most of those people don't... appreciate it as something that makes them love and feel. :/  Which makes me kind of sad.  to most of the people I know, it's just a... game that's there. ^__^ I think that all my FF friends who take something from the game should join together and spread the love. XD OMG.  If you ever come HERE for anime Boston, I'll have Angel and Devon and Mike and Christina and Eric dress us and join uss. <333  They really like the games.
Mike and Devon would probably pair up like you and me do. XD

I DO THOUGH. XD
We could blast wicked loud music and disturb the old people who are only there for the free water.
XDDDD But imploding would be strenuous and therefore a help to the cause.
Besides, I do not mind~  I would badger you right back and play with your treadmill settings when you're not looking.
 I sort of did get a tan in marshfield.  I feel a lot darker than I usually am.
It's going to get worse this summer, I can promise you that. XD
Yes, also. <3  I would love to cosplay him too, one day.  I really want to do all of our's.

Ooh. <3 I hope that you find a good one and playing with it goes well.
 Come learn with me over the summer.
We can have a whole workout in the sun/sewing/chillin plan. XD

[Konan-ChanX3]

I doubt I'll get BW2 finished by con, I still have way too much work left on it, and from the looks of it, won't be done till well after con.

[hikaru_maxwell]

I still haven't decided yet, but I'm going to be blonde for this con, anyway, so if I can still fit into my suit, probably Elena from FFVII Compilation (VII, AC, DoC). XD

[FFVII~Lover]

(I've only read the first page XD)   I really want to cosplay Katana Turk just to get on the FFVII Before Crisis list XD lol

[nikkiolie]

I guess we can talk a little bit about the photo shoot. I was thinking Monday sometime since it seems to be a pretty open day so far.

[Chibiorochimaru]

Monday is fine for me >>

[Kirararin]

I'll be going as Fang as well^^ It'll be fun! I wore it to Sakura-Con this year~


Might go as Tira from SCIV on another day>.> That one is a little harder though^^;;

[Konan-ChanX3]

Monday sounds cool for me. I'll try to get BW2 done, though I'm doing some major re-working on it.

[chelseahavoc]

monday is NOT good for me ;_________; sunday afternoon (for vanille) or saturday (lani) is best for me.... sunday morning and monday are booked D:

[Soramunesanzun]

I'm being ffx-2 rikku and ff13 Serah.

My friend is being ffx yuna and ff13 vanille.

[Soramunesanzun]

Also, the meet is scheduled on the sticky meet-up post as being 2:00 pm sunday

It's at Lownsdale square.
Instructions are as follows:

Walking directions to the meet from the con center are:
Head east on SW Salmon St toward SW 6th Ave
Destination will be on the right

It's at SW salmon and SW 4th.

[nikkiolie]

I don't think the group has actually finalized a time. I believe quite a few people were leaning towards Monday. I thought Monday would be the best because a lot of popular shoots are Saturday and Sunday with only a few Monday.

We need to get a time together for the FFIX group. I think that group is going to be so big we will need our own photo shoot

I am ok with Sunday though
