Medicninja: We're gonna have a photoshoot for sure, 99% likelihood of a panel and maybe something else if we feel like it.

Miria: >>; That just says how much crap we were cluttering the thread with.

My Sealand cosplay is done! Thanks to some emergency intervention by the family.

Yay~ Pics?

Prussia is almost done, I got my belt for him the other day.

And yes, yes it does.

There will definitely be pics after Sak!

I'm in the process of building a casual America until I can get a pilot's jacket.

But I also thought of making a modern Hetalia cosplay episode of the winter games. Shy and patient Canada finally gets his spotlight, and the world gathers to play for the top. Small problem is that we don't have snow unless we made it into a trip to Mt. Hood (or Bachelor for southern Oregon folks?) or something.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #2105 on:** April 01, 2010, 05:18:53 am »

Done with England~

I shall post pictures (for those of you that wont see me at Sakura) once I get some photos emailed to me from Nikki, as I'm doing a photo shoot with her as England =3=

Medicninja · « **Reply #2106 on:** April 02, 2010, 12:35:00 am »

Thanks for the info! Is there going to be a world meeting? if not we should so make one!!

Naruchan · « **Reply #2107 on:** April 02, 2010, 05:59:01 pm »

BELLA WANTS TO HAVE ANOTHER SLEEP OVER PANEL!
WAS SO RIDICULOUSLY FUN!

Medicninja · « **Reply #2108 on:** April 04, 2010, 01:20:36 am »

SO i don' know if it has been talked about but for '10 having a world Meeting? >.> i think it would be fun to have all the countries acting over issues! if we don't have one yet i'll start one...<_< or even start another one. I'll go as Prussia if we dont have one...

MiriaRose · « **Reply #2109 on:** April 04, 2010, 12:31:31 pm »

I don't think we should have a world meeting, seeing as we'd have a ridiculous amount of doubles.

And hey, another Prussia~

Well damn >< I found the most perfect Russia cosplay EVER and apparantly the store JUST stopped selling it D: I'll need to find the right fabric and the pattern though, but i'm thinking about makeing my own Russia cosplay. Besides, now that i think about it it would be a lot cheaper and i won't have to worry about "OMG I GOT A STAIN ON MY $150 DOLLAR COSPLAY"

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #2111 on:** April 04, 2010, 11:31:44 pm »

I know the feeling >>;;; Stains on bought cosplays just SUCK XO

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #2112 on:** April 05, 2010, 11:16:52 am »

Yeah >< it happened to me wile i was wearing my Host club America cosplay in the car wile eating fast food...

Malaria · « **Reply #2113 on:** April 05, 2010, 02:01:59 pm »

We got lots of German Trio and Nordics photos at Sak. Expect German Trio pictures first, because my friend who was shooting us as Nordics was using a film camera and has to develop and upload it all. ._.

Vaguely related, my experience at Sak with the swollen Hetalia fandom was poor. I'm considering skipping the Hetalia photoshoot this year at Kcon. I'm not quite certain yet, I just want to let you all know early in case I do decide to walk away. I don't want to leave you hanging without some kind of organizing influence. I'll make sure to update the first post with meeting information, too, because it's terrible when that isn't clear. If you guys want me to help figure out good times and places, I'm still available for that. Also, I still want to do a panel of some kind, because you are all a lot of fun when I'm not dealing with ~80 people screaming fangirl-y over each other and failing to respect their fellow human beings.

Stay awesome and stay nerdy. <3

(Gee, I havent posted here in a long time.)

I think its about time I re-start thinking about my Lithuania Cosplay.
But I'm having a difficulty trying to approach it D:
Like finding a wig and deciding the outfit. So I thought I should just start with the wig.

Ive been looking on ebay and Im not sure.

or does anyone know a good place for wigs D:

Malaria · « **Reply #2115 on:** April 06, 2010, 05:15:43 pm »

amphigory.com and cosworx.com are both reliable sites to get wigs on. I'd be wary of getting a $15 wig, because that will generally get you $15 quality.

Ok thank you. : D I was a bit "hmmmm" about that too.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #2117 on:** April 06, 2010, 05:34:45 pm »

(I just feel the need to post a few of these in here)

I had a photo shoot with Nikki at Sakura-con, and I think a few of them should be posted~
There's one~
And there's two~

Malaria · « **Reply #2118 on:** April 06, 2010, 05:39:16 pm »

AHAHAHAH BROWS -fuzzes at them-
And you did a fairies shot. <3333

I'm still waiting on Yagi and the upload from our German trio shoot. I told her she had to upload them if I finished my history paper, and I did at 6 AM today, so I want me some pics. 3<

Felix · « **Reply #2119 on:** April 06, 2010, 07:21:25 pm »

SIX? WHYYYYYYYYY.

Urgh off-topic but I also want to see your durarara. Upload to PoSms?

BUTYES. I don't think I mentioned that I am 1/3 done with my chainmail! Just... two more thirds to go... D8

Hmmmm. Making a fairy would be cool but it would kind of defeat the purpose since no one but England can see them. And I think it's better to let people imagine the fairies for themselves, since everyone has different ideas of what they look like. (also I'm curious... did you use your real hair?)

Also I drew a stupid Hetalia comic in class a couple days ago. If you guys would like I can take crappy pictures of it... (if I wait till I have a scanner again I'll probably think it's too stupid to post...) I have no excuses. I don't know what came over me.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #2120 on:** April 06, 2010, 07:28:32 pm »

Did you guys hear about what happened at Anime Boston

ಠ_ಠ

soundninja12 · « **Reply #2121 on:** April 06, 2010, 07:29:19 pm »

No, I didn't.
WHAT HAPPENED?

Felix · « **Reply #2122 on:** April 06, 2010, 07:42:46 pm »

WHAT HAPPENED?

I know someone who was there.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #2123 on:** April 06, 2010, 07:44:47 pm »

Some cosplayers did the Nazi salute for a photo.

ಠ_ಠ

The shoot was outside in a public space.

ಠ_ಠ

There's a Holocaust memorial not too far away from the place.

ಠ_ಠ

It was on Passover.

ಠ_ಠ

Look at Norway's faceplam

There was this huge brouhaha on the LJ comm about it, apologies were made, etc.
Some people just don't understand when things are not okay. OTL

Some people are so stupid. There is no excuse for ignorance.

kit2kit · « **Reply #2126 on:** April 06, 2010, 08:13:17 pm »

I heard about that at school today D:
That was horrible.

At least the photographer wrote an apology.
If only they all did thumbs-up like the Germany. *shakes head*

Felix · « **Reply #2129 on:** April 06, 2010, 08:44:58 pm »

It's so small I couldn't tell the germany was only doing a thumbs-up. I suppose that's why her(?) face isn't censored.

kit2kit · « **Reply #2130 on:** April 06, 2010, 08:52:18 pm »

I saw a bigger picture earlier today. ~~There is also a... I cant remember... but whoever it is, is doing a fist instead on the other side as well.~~ (nevermind) But I love how the Austrias are all like "no."

Ealier that day I also heard that there was a Panel call "Why not to cosplay Nazis." or something like that.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #2131 on:** April 06, 2010, 08:58:49 pm »

If you right click and go to "view image" you can see it bigger.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #2132 on:** April 06, 2010, 09:00:20 pm »

Why not to cosplay Nazis? I think there should be more panels like that.

I remember one thread on Coscom I read said something along the lines of, "i no the nazis were bad but this is for cosplay!" as an excuse (they also didn't have very good English skills).

Sure, it's for cosplay and all, but you're in a public place, with pictures being taken without your permission. But I suppose if you want your future employer to potentially see a picture of you in your SS regalia as well as make an ass out of yourself, among other more obvious things (or things that should be obvious), that's your choice.

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #2133 on:** April 06, 2010, 11:36:48 pm »

expecially in places like Portland ._.; Not many for one understand Cosplay and two probably wouldn't care to ask you if you were seen in a Nazi uniform.

goatchild · « **Reply #2134 on:** April 07, 2010, 03:17:13 pm »

I have mixed feelings about the Nazi heil at AB for various reasons, but I'm not going to go into them right now.

Scon was indeed a giant clusterf*ck of both the best and worst times I've ever had at a con, but I don't think I'm so turned off that I want to skip the Kcon photoshoot. I still love the characters, the concept, the cosplays, and you awesome people, and at the very least I still want to do the sleepover panel. Even if I'm done with the fandom, I'm not entirely done with the series itself yet. Of course, whatever I do at Kcon will depend on what the rest of the PoSms want to do, too. : )

German Trio photos will be up when I stop wasting time putting off homework and watching Avatar. >>;

Malaria · « **Reply #2135 on:** April 07, 2010, 04:08:02 pm »

I heard about the AB thing on the comm. That just such a -_- moment for me. It's okay to talk about the negative implications of Hetalia, like Nazis and imperialism, but that is the wrong way to do it.

And just to nitpick horribly, Prussia and Germany wear Wehrmacht uniforms anyway.

Felix: It always bears repeating: CHAAAINMAAAAAAAAAIL

The_Geek · « **Reply #2136 on:** April 07, 2010, 06:30:33 pm »

My cousins were at AnimeBoston...They're Jewish... I really hope they didn't have to see that.
That's just... Disappointing, and quite disrespectful.

On a completely different subject I'm about 50% done with Sister Finland's cosplay, and have spent only 25% of the energy I eventually will on it.

Did anyone hear about the last treaty the US signed with Russia? A while ago, yes, but I haven't seen anyone discuss it. The Moscow bombings, perhaps?

Malaria · « **Reply #2137 on:** April 07, 2010, 06:43:08 pm »

I am so exited for your Sister Finland, not gonna lie. XD

Re: the Moscow bombings. Just. Chechnya. Over and over and over.

I don't know about the treaty, but I heard about the NPR this morning. NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT SQUEE

The_Geek · « **Reply #2138 on:** April 07, 2010, 06:50:52 pm »

I got my info from my BBC podcast. I was so happy the rest of the day.

But then there's Chechnya. They need to find some sort of agreement with the government or alternatively find an island to build on. The fighting isn't getting anywhere fast. $:-\$

Malaria · « **Reply #2139 on:** April 07, 2010, 07:06:06 pm »

The Chechens aren't leaving. That's their home. ><
Russia should just give them their own goddamn nation. They don't gain anything by continuing to hold Chechnya. As far as I know, they don't have any significant natural resources.

Naruchan · « **Reply #2140 on:** April 07, 2010, 08:26:00 pm »

I wasn't sure if I should post this.
but I figure why not, I wanted some feed back.
the lighting is a bit screwy, the wig isn't silver, its like a pale blond with some grey in it.
<3 I love it dearly, I also have my contacts in, XD make my eyes HUGE!
(ignore my epic shirt... XD or don't, you know what ever. XD)

Malaria · « **Reply #2141 on:** April 07, 2010, 08:30:00 pm »

I think that's a good color for a Russia wig to be. Congrats!

Naruchan · « **Reply #2142 on:** April 07, 2010, 09:05:12 pm »

: D THANK YOU!
<(^L^)> *hugs for all!*
XD it only took like a week or something to get my contacts, was awesome!

MiriaRose · « **Reply #2143 on:** April 07, 2010, 09:07:53 pm »

Looks awesome!

I like your contacts, as hard as they are to see in this picture. ^^

Naruchan · « **Reply #2144 on:** April 07, 2010, 09:34:20 pm »

Yeah, I figure, if I wear them out in natural light, they will be a hell of a lot easier to see.

Felix · « **Reply #2145 on:** April 09, 2010, 08:47:05 pm »

I never was a huge Hetalia fan in the first place, but I don't mind attending the photoshoot as long as people aren't being immature little twits. That's when I'd be inclined to leave... I'll just stick with the PoSms as well.

Also before the term ends I'll see if I can find some Succession refs. The costume department has loads of great reference books, and I'm sure they'd let me look at them. Maybe we can start right after k-con... I'll have the most motivation then and SOU doesn't start until the end of September.

Malaria · « **Reply #2146 on:** April 09, 2010, 09:17:48 pm »

Haha, I'm like a mommy duck with my ducklings. "LET'S BLOW THIS SCENE. -waddlequackwaddlequackquack-"

Since that's England's lobsterback phase, you could probably Google and find a million refs easily.

Felix · « **Reply #2147 on:** April 10, 2010, 02:14:49 am »

WE CAN'T HELP BUT FOLLOW YOU.

Stupid internet hates me. That sentence should have been 'Anyone but Felix could Google and find a million refs easily.' Besides most pictures on google are 400 pixels or less - not good for detail. (Plus I might be able to dig up something good for everyone else...)

Malaria · « **Reply #2148 on:** April 10, 2010, 11:22:49 am »

Go to Advanced Image Search. You can set how large you want your images results to be.

Not that I don't want you looking at gorgeous ref books. If you happen to find this book I will pretty much worship you forever.

Felix · « **Reply #2149 on:** April 10, 2010, 11:16:27 pm »

OHWOW THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
but I don't actually get to keep the books... I'd have to make copies.
BUT I WILL USE MY FABULOUS RESOURCES TO MAKE OUR COSPLAY AS EPIC AS POSSIBLE.

see I didn't know that because I fail.
