Red wheels are all i need on the board everything else will be sprayapinted for death the kids skateboard

I'm pretty sure I saw some red wheels on some of them, and if for some odd reason there were none, you could buy some red wheels. I'm guessing that a 4-pack would be $5-10 at some places, but I honestly don't know.

I think Maddy may have found me the perferct base tights for Morrigan, but what do you guys think? In person they are light and delightful and ohhh yeah. I also have my wig and FW ink to dye it. I can not wait to get some battle pose pictures.

It looks amazing~

Im ordering my Koffing wig here in a few days.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #353 on:** November 16, 2010, 06:50:47 pm »

@olsapedo - Yeah, those definately look like a good start!

So, I've ordered a wig through Wig Land for my Lina cosplay. I also noticed that there's a swimwear store at Lloyd Center, so when I go to get my wig, I'll take a look at what they have for my swimwear-segment in the "Miss" Kumoricon event.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #354 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:05:20 pm »

Yay! Washougal!

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #355 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:20:36 pm »

So i have a question all. How long does wig shipping usually take you?

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #356 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:24:46 pm »

I normally get mine, 3 days to a 1 week.
It took almost two and a half weeks when I got my first wig for Haruhi Fujioka, I got special made from Hong Kong.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #357 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:25:36 pm »

Loooking good Oslap~ <3

@linksimposter
Depebnda on where you're ordering from. If it's from another country, usually about two weeks. If it's from the states really depends on location. If it's in cali it's usually only a few days, Like 1-4.

I just ordered my Ruffnut Wig and I compiled a list of supplies for the helmets. Paprika and I need to go shopping soon(we only have two weeks to finish them!).

Worked on Tao as well today. She's coming along well and fits comfortably. I'm so excited!

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #358 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:25:52 pm »

Well for me, the first time took about 4 weeks, but that one was shipped from a company in Hong Kong. The other time is the time I just mentioned; they told me that, at most, it'd take 10 days, but it'd most likely be in this Friday (which would make 7 days). It depends on what you've ordered and whom the order is with.

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #359 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:27:55 pm »

So if it's ordered from hong kong it can take up to a month?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #360 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:30:22 pm »

It did in my case.

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #361 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:32:29 pm »

hmmm okay just wondering. My order is still in "processing" so im wondering how long it took, Because my brother had the same problem but his never shipped and was ordered in 2009. I never ordered from that same site so i was just curious.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #362 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:46:24 pm »

Do you know where he ordered his from? Also, did your site indicate an approximation as to when it'd arrive?

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #363 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:49:42 pm »

He odered from Hellocosplay.com. And it said it i just forgot what it said

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #364 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:55:31 pm »

Hellocosplay, huh? Well, I've never dealt with them before, so I don't know what to say. As for your order, see if you can find a FAQs area; it might give you a typical timeframe that your order will be sent. Another way to possibly find out is through your e-mail or on the statement of the card used for the purchase. My first time was done through PayPal, so I could've gone to the e-mail message that they sent, as well as the one that the wig company sent me, for finding out this info.

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #365 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:58:32 pm »

Hellocosplay.com is relaiable for shipping and sellinng cosplays buuuut aperaeently not for wigs. Oh and i have a statment purchase picture and its on my pay pal and the wig site accounts

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #366 on:** November 16, 2010, 08:00:47 pm »

Well, I suppose it's possible that there was a communication error with hellocosplay...

How long ago did you make your purchase?

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #367 on:** November 16, 2010, 08:02:30 pm »

I think they just have wig "Issues" I ordered about 2 firdays agoish

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #368 on:** November 16, 2010, 08:08:31 pm »

So, about a week and a half...?

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #369 on:** November 16, 2010, 08:11:33 pm »

Yes thats about right

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #370 on:** November 16, 2010, 08:29:37 pm »

Yeah, I'd say give it to the end of the week, at least.

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #371 on:** November 16, 2010, 08:31:07 pm »

I'll wait a while knowing its comming from hong kong

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #372 on:** November 16, 2010, 08:32:38 pm »

Oh, it is? Maybe another week from now, then...

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #373 on:** November 16, 2010, 11:28:36 pm »

About the wig that never shipped, that could have been a computer error.
I ordered a wig from cosplay.com and it never came after a month. I sent them an e-mail and what had happened was that paypal never sent them a notification that I had paid. They gave me back my shipping fee and sent the item which took one week to get to me.

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #374 on:** November 17, 2010, 12:05:59 am »

Hmmm okay well i'll inform my brother

linksimposter69 · « **Reply #375 on:** November 17, 2010, 12:06:29 am »

Exactly. I've had stuff like this happen to me a few times while trying to pay for credit card bills and such. Communication errors happen sometimes, and companies are usually eager to help rectify any problems.

I got all my fabric for Lugia today. I am going to probably start on it tomorrow since I feel like crud today. I also got the cute little Lugia and Ho-oh plushies I ordered. They are so small and cute and cuddly X3 This is what they look like

and with my updates~! i just need to get Hsien-ko's wig and make her claws and im done! =^-^=

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #379 on:** November 20, 2010, 02:44:02 pm »

I guess it's kinda progress. I was suppose to be doing Arcueid from Tsukihime for Sakuracon but pretty much everyone in the Type Moon group we were putting together is dropping out and it's down to like, me and another person that is on the fence. I don't really wanna do Tsukihime by myself.

So my friend invited me to do a cosplay with him. I usually hate Vocaloids but I love the song and the video for Matryoshka and after I watched it I decided I was going to make the hoodie no matter what because it's cute. The it turned into me cosplaying Gumi to his Gumo. A friend of his is doing a Taobao order so I ordered a Gumi wig to match his for $20. I'm probably going to get a hoodie, a megaphone and some red contacts (I'll need them later when I do arc) next month sometime and I'm looking for some lip cuffs/rings right now.

A few questions though. One is we are both having a problem finding some nice gloves. It needs to be a tighter fit like a driving glove but I can't find any that don't have weird leather arrows and patterns on them. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of where I could find some that don't have that and aren't big and bulky?
The second is I am not sure what I want to do with the bottom of the costume. In the PV that this is from it just shows them from the waist up the entire time so I have some creative liberty. The two ideas I liked were to possibly wear red sweatpants like the above picture with some hiking boots that I have.

The second is to do something like this picture. I'd just get some thigh highs instead of stirrups. Instead of having the adorable rainboots I would probably just use a pair of brown knee high boots that I have to save some money.
Whaddya guys think?

For the gloves, its pretty easy to make your own, just trace around your hand and add a little for seam allowance for the pattern. (might wanna do some test ones first. I don't know if you wanted leather or not though, but they sell pleather at Joanns. Streatchy jersey cloth would work very nicely too.

Got my blonde wig today!! I'm gonna use it for Rhyme and hipster Draco~

JUST REALIZED SOMETHING my Luna Lovegood wig that has always not been perfect for Luna would actually be completely perfect for my Eilonwy cosplay.

So. That's progress.

And money! Also progress. Gotta go get fabric and make a run to the goodwill to get a good base shirt for my Toni shirt soon.

fixed up my Stella wig today, a friend had borrowed it for a Halloween party and it was pretty fudged up. Added more hair to the pigtails to fill in any blank spots and cut in the bangs.
