So I'm trying to decide on contacts for Sailor V...
I don't know which blue to get (of the normal ones, of course).
This is the site I normally use - http://www.youknowit.com/online-shop/colour/blue.cfm?filterSearch=1&bControlSearch=1&filter_1=&filter_2=&filter_7=&filter_6=&filter_5=&filter_4=4
They even have "Usagi Tsukino" contacts... http://www.youknowit.com/online-shop/usagi-tsukino-contact-lenses.cfm

The Usagi ones scare me....

^ Really? I kind of like 'em...

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #202 on:** August 04, 2011, 07:13:02 am »

GOT MY NEPTUNE COSPLAY ORDERED!!! WHOO HOO!!! SEE? NOW I JUST NEED SOME CONTACTS, LEGGINGS, AND A WAXING!!! (I'm a little disturbed about myself now...)

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #203 on:** August 04, 2011, 08:42:48 pm »

You could just wear some skin tone tights
that outfit is pretty nice

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #204 on:** August 04, 2011, 09:37:03 pm »

Yeah, that's what one of my sister's recommended to me once. I just hope that I'll get a pair that's good enough to hide my little scars.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #205 on:** August 05, 2011, 07:52:04 am »

dancers tights. its what i plan to get

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #206 on:** August 05, 2011, 01:43:36 pm »

Me too. There was a thread about hiding scars and birthmarks a little while ago, and dancer's tights were highly reccommended for covering things on your legs.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #207 on:** August 05, 2011, 05:09:08 pm »

Dancer's tights, eh? (Tries to think of places that might have some...). I'm drawing a blank! (Maybe it's this damn heat!)

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #208 on:** August 06, 2011, 12:33:39 am »

There's a dance store in Portland called The Leotard that comes highly reccommended by Wrath. I think she said it's where she buys her dance stuff? Anyway, their website is here --> http://www.theleotard.com/ and it looks like you can order online (and I can't imagine shipping being very expensive XD

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #209 on:** August 06, 2011, 11:11:50 am »

I'll check them out. Thanks! (Chan told me of a place in the Orchards area of Vancouver that I could look at, too, so I'll do some comparisons).

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #210 on:** August 06, 2011, 10:22:18 pm »

yeah I like the Leotard, %10 discount if it's for a class or a show!
also it's super close to my house

dance tights are nice they also keep you warm

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #211 on:** August 07, 2011, 09:22:56 am »

Okay, so I've Google-mapped it. It looks like I could just take the MLK Jr. bus from the Jantzen Beach Mall.

Tomecko · « **Reply #212 on:** August 07, 2011, 12:06:25 pm »

Hmm, I should consider getting dance tights. I usually get nylons, but I always manage to bruise my legs just before con (or shred my nylons - I swear those things are one-time-use-only). I wonder if I could find an exact skintone match.

Gryffinclaw Princess - You're so brave, getting color contacts! I tried them and scratched my cornea really bad. I'm so terrible at putting them in. After that, I just decided to keep my natural eye color for all cosplays.

I think either the 'Blue One Tone' or 'Colour Vision Blue 3 Tone' look closest to Minako's eye color. I consider her to have more 'ice blue' eyes as compared to the more midtone blue of Uasgi and Ami's.

I need to get a finished pic of my Mistress 9 remake up here, I finished the new skirt and top, but haven't taken any pictures yet.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #213 on:** August 07, 2011, 05:50:18 pm »

pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #214 on:** August 18, 2011, 08:34:05 pm »

So I got my Leotard today!
And started on the skirt...
I'll get started on the bows latter but I really need a break

Also My Tiara came in!

I like the look of the One Tone a lot...
I can't get her contacts this year cause they wouldn't be here on time for con (YouKnowIt is in the UK) but I do have other contacts so I know how much they can hurt. I wear glasses/contacts normally but I have an astigmatism and my eyes aren't 0.0 base curve so non-prescription 0.0 contacts hurt my eyes at first. Then I get used to them and ignore them. But I made the mistake of not paying attention when I put in my Umbreon contacts today and one was upside down. D: The pain! I could hardly get them out because of how much it hurt. Seriously, anyone who ever wear contacts needs to be very careful. I was just being stupid and it was my own fault so meh. But I have two pairs of cosplay contacts so another wouldn't be so bad.

I have Shiny Umbreon (yelow cat eyes) and Sasuke's Sharingan for my Shippuden Sasuko.

I would go with my own eye color but I have hazel eyes. :/ So it's hard for me to find characters with my eye color.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #216 on:** August 19, 2011, 10:17:51 am »

So, I've got all of the clothing for the costume assembled. I just need to purchase some contacts and "remove" my man hairs. I should try my stuff on soon, though, just to see how they all fit together.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #217 on:** August 20, 2011, 06:49:20 pm »

HERE IT IS! I'VE FINALLY TAKEN THE PICTURE!!!

Front with accessories

Head & neck things

Gloves

Backside

I'm a little disappointed that the abdominal area is larger than what I had specified, but maybe I can talk to someone about adjusting that...

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #218 on:** August 20, 2011, 06:54:46 pm »

IT'S AWESOME! (compared to most stuff I've seen for sale)

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #219 on:** August 20, 2011, 07:08:36 pm »

Would something like that work for decreasing the abdominal measurements?

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #221 on:** August 21, 2011, 12:46:25 pm »

if width wise is what you ment .-.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #222 on:** August 21, 2011, 07:01:31 pm »

Yep.

I'm looking into getting my eyebrows "adjusted" tomorrow so that they'll look more feminine. ...fun times

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #223 on:** August 21, 2011, 10:30:12 pm »

I admire how far you are taking this Wa-kun

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #224 on:** August 22, 2011, 12:28:38 pm »

Thanks, Wrath! The way I see crossplay is that it's better to do what you can to look the gender than to be another Man-Faye.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #225 on:** August 22, 2011, 01:04:12 pm »

That is true
but sometimes the Manly Senshi is good too

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #228 on:** August 22, 2011, 01:19:27 pm »

Manly Senshi made me think of Sailor Bubba...

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #229 on:** August 22, 2011, 02:01:18 pm »

Sailor Bubba?

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #230 on:** August 22, 2011, 06:26:24 pm »

Wrath, HOW do you not know Sailor Bubba?!

He even has his own Wikimoon page!

I freaking love Man Faye. It is my dream in life to meet him. This probably isn't a good thing.

I don't know how I don't know him...

I'm sorry!

yes taking the senshi costume in width wise is what i did

*pats head* It's okay, at least now you've been educated.

Hrrrrgh I'm gonna push myself and finish my leotard tonight so I can start attaching crap to it tomorrow when I'm at the beach (whoooole lotta handstitching D:). After that (and making the shoulder rolls) I will basically be done! Just need to do a bit more on my gloves (which I'm going to do probably when I'm in Detroit) and get my wig in the mail. I was panicking earlier, but it seems more manageable now. How's everyone else coming on their cosplay?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #236 on:** August 23, 2011, 09:59:58 am »

Should there be a mentioning of Sailor Bubba at the panel?

For some strange reason, my costume seems to fit me perfectly now; I wonder if it's because I wasn't wearing my breasts the second time around...

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #237 on:** August 23, 2011, 10:40:37 am »

Maybe, if we have any free time at the end you are welcomed to

eh.................
I got the collar done and painted the little crescent moons I need
I'm going to ask my mom for beads and ribbon and to help me with my bows.

I have no wig for Saturn... maybe I'll just temporarily dye my hair black for her. Unless I I can find one to borrow from somebody xP but I don't see that happening.

I haven't even had time to start my Saturn cosplay, I've been down in Arizona DX I'll probably be getting my materials today from JoAnn's though. Let's see if I can pull all my cosplays off before it's time xP

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #243 on:** August 23, 2011, 12:31:49 pm »

Rofflz · « **Reply #245 on:** August 24, 2011, 02:00:30 pm »

Alrighty, I've got my materials and I've a shirt for the base of the outfit since I don't have a leotard or a pattern to make one xP
Tonight I shall start this cosplay. Thanks for the cheers everyone ^_^ I'll try to post pictures of the progress.
Also, I'm going to try to make the boots as well... that is going to be tough.

Tomecko · « **Reply #246 on:** August 24, 2011, 11:08:39 pm »

Good luck, Saturn boots are horrible to find. I spent a long time looking for knee-high lace-up purple boots, a search string which gives back a bunch of scary hooker boots, for some reason.

I just painted a black pair with purple paint, I didn't think my boot-cover skills would be up to snuff.

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #247 on:** August 24, 2011, 11:50:03 pm »

Boots can be kinda tough, What I had to do with my boots for Jupiter was cut and paint them to size and then put in metal eyelits. (the ones you have to use a hammer to make fit correctly) Its a bit time consuming but it looks great once its done.
Also wanted to say i'll be making an appearance as Jediete to the photoshoot (because my queen said I had to .n. )

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #248 on:** August 25, 2011, 01:21:14 am »

For me, I'm just using my black high heels that I wore for my old Mikuru bunnygirl cosplay. I was able to find a pair that could've worked, but finances have been rather tough lately, so I decided to have the shoes be an "only if I have the money/time" thing.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #249 on:** August 25, 2011, 03:19:33 am »

I was lucky enough to find a pair at Goodwill that were really close to the style I needed, so I just painted them blue and they look fine. There are some differences if you're looking for them, but they're a remarkably close match. I lucked out. XD
