i think i've looked at that store before. i'm thinking about buying a wig from there but im gonna look at a few wig stores first just to make sure. i dont mush like buying hings online cuz i dont want my stuff lost in the mail...

im working on it as i speak...type...my work space is right next to the comp

nikkiolie · « **Reply #501 on:** August 05, 2008, 10:57:30 am »

Thats good to hear. I want to add a slit in the skirt I have but I am afraid x.x

As for the store I ordered my wig from there and a friend from there and we had no problems. I like them so much because of how cheap they are but still look amazing. I am planing on going to Sakuracon as Hikaru Hitachiin from Ouran and there is a wig there that is perfect for them and it is only $3! I love it ^_^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #502 on:** August 05, 2008, 10:58:50 am »

That's really amazing. Those prices. Shocking! Yeah, I love that store now, haha.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #503 on:** August 05, 2008, 11:01:17 am »

I don't know if I'll get wigs from anywhere but there.....unless they don't have what I am looking for. I think the wig for Albel was about $27 total including shipping, and I got it within a week.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #504 on:** August 05, 2008, 11:02:37 am »

That's just awesome. Up until now I was hearing some bad things about orderign wigs in general (I was hearing that they take a long time to ship, no matter where you buy them from), so it is great to hear that place has a quick shipping time in addition to all the other awesome stuff.

nyahaha · « **Reply #505 on:** August 05, 2008, 11:03:04 am »

woah only $3 O.O thats awsome

nikkiolie · « **Reply #506 on:** August 05, 2008, 11:05:18 am »

yeah but it isn't on sale right now it's $10 v.v I'll wait till I see it on sale again

nikkiolie · « **Reply #507 on:** August 05, 2008, 11:05:54 am »

I saw a good one at party city...but I dun wanna buy since i already have one coming. The one I saw was to short anyway..

Oh yeah, Simca cosplay complete. I finished it yesterday at work.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #515 on:** August 05, 2008, 12:03:07 pm »

OMG your going as Tsukasa?!
Uber cute XDD
I'll have a pink wig but I'm lazy to make another cosplay XDD
I'm afraid I'll over board...Are you doing school cosplay? Summer or winter? Or maybe the cheerleading one? XDD

I think you'll just need to brush it...Maybe cut it in some places and style it a bit but it looks good!

nyahaha · « **Reply #516 on:** August 05, 2008, 12:09:56 pm »

im doing the summer uniform with a freind maube two. the one that is for sure going is gonna be konata and the other isn't sure if she'll be able to cosplay but if she did she would be kagami my twin! =D

Hey, it's Awesome Matt!! Hi, Awesome Matt!! I'm sad to know that your awesome wig hurt your head, but I'm glad to know that you are getting a new one!
You know, it was hot last year. Furry vest= not exactly warm weather clothing, huh? $:-\$
Oh the sacrifices we make to look awesome.
I personally hope the weather's more mild this year, because my costumes tend to be heavier.

LOL hi! =D *waves* Yeah the wig was totally killing my head, there's no way I could have endured another round of that. So new wig it is! I'm very excited about it!
Oh geeze, not at all - furry insulated vest = not fun. ><
I'm with ya, I'm really hoping for it being in the 70s this year.

OMG. I just found out there's such a thing as goggle defogger!!! I'M SAVED!!

wow, serious improvment on the shoes! :O

nyahaha · « **Reply #520 on:** August 05, 2008, 01:09:28 pm »

woah they look like totally different shoes!

risotto · « **Reply #521 on:** August 05, 2008, 01:13:27 pm »

I know, I'm so proud of myself!

The back of the shoes were pretty scuffed up too http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b267/yellowtangerine/IMG_1351.jpg
After prying open the tin of black polish I went to work. I say it was a success. *happy dance*

it was a very successfull success

Now that my Hikaru wig is going to be here in time for the con I am thinking about going as him in the date episode. All I would need is a zip up vest and a red tank top. .....although I don't have a twin v.v

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #528 on:** August 05, 2008, 05:29:46 pm »

Working hard finally! My wigs got bounced back a couple days so I really hope I can get them in time for con.

Artwork Bridget- DONE!!!
I might update the belts on the leg things though because...they don't look very good.

Miria-
*Dress-(Mom started it tonight)
*Modify gloves.

Legretta-
*Dress-Hopefully I'll get it done because the person that was suppose to help me totally bailed out on me so I have to wait until my cosplay group leader gets back from vacation.
Style wig.
*Tights
*Modify gloves.
*Horseshoe thing.
*Gun #1- 45%
*Gun #2- 0%

veraca · « **Reply #529 on:** August 05, 2008, 06:21:36 pm »

My lil update

Yuna : Done! I could attempt to fix up the hems of the shirt x_x But I'm not really sure how to without the use of evil bias tape... Lil demon strings everywhere and its too much to use glue.

Diva : T-T Dress'll be here tomorrow hopefully~ I gotta wear my sandal shoes for it, since I couldn't get her boots x_x They'd've killed me. But I've already got her leggings ~

Roxas School Version : I'm tempted to come with my red tie and red plaid pants, not the blue miniskirt and blue tie.... It would save me from fighting with the knee socks x_x

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #530 on:** August 05, 2008, 08:28:10 pm »

So I got my wig ordered today, finally! One more thing down. I had to end up getting it from Cosworx (as opposed to Amphigory), because it seemed like ordering it from Amphigory would not have it here in time (a 15 day shipping time as opposed to a 5 day shipping time from Cosworx.....much better, right?). So yeah, wig is ordered and when it gets here I have to learn how to style it, but shouldn't be too much work. (And thanks for your help, Nikkiolie, but I ended up going with a different wig, because I needed one that was straight.)

So yes, wig: check!
I also have the rest of my supplies for the cannon, so I will be constructing parts this week and getting wood cut for the box this weekend. Hopefully, by this time next week, I will have this massive goliath finished! ^_^

HatakeGirlX · « **Reply #531 on:** August 05, 2008, 08:38:03 pm »

woo! I got my Kurenai cosplay ordered a few days ago now I havta dye over the purple and blonde in my hair aaand fix the hand bandages on my cosplay, the site made them innacuratley :3

15 day shipping time? WTF? oO I just ordered mine yesterday and it got shipped today. (woop!) It should be here by the 11th. That's weird..

risotto · « **Reply #533 on:** August 05, 2008, 09:01:30 pm »

I have that same problem. For my cosplay I didn't want to sacrifice quality (the last wig I bought from Cosworx was not so good ><) so I requested the earliest date possible. So for now I play the waiting game...

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #534 on:** August 05, 2008, 09:21:33 pm »

Really? I figured Cosworx would be really good because they are talked about on Cosplay.com and seems lots of people go through them. Hmm, hope the wig turns out good quality. The wig I ordered was the same wig I would have bought from Amphigory, so hopefully it is all good.

risotto · « **Reply #535 on:** August 05, 2008, 09:30:03 pm »

Well, my main problem is that my head is sorta large, and the wig that I bought was way small so it didn't fit over my head.

Plus it had no bangs so you could totally see my hairline (I attempted to do a Eureka from Eureka Seven, but that failed miserably). I'm hoping this time if I pack my hair as flat as I can into the wig cap this wig will fit.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #536 on:** August 05, 2008, 09:35:07 pm »

That's what I thought was my problem, and I'm just hoping I measured wrong or the wig will fit at least. I have a lot of hair but it will be cornrowed so it should fit under a wig cap with no problem, hopefully. And I hope your wig works out for you. *crossed fingers*

risotto · « **Reply #537 on:** August 05, 2008, 09:42:06 pm »

This time the wig has front bangs so at least my hairline will be hidden. If all else fails I'll have to stretch it out. I hope it works out too!! XD

veraca · « **Reply #538 on:** August 05, 2008, 10:00:59 pm »

Get a light blue Wisp for Eureka. That's what I wore for Aqua from KH2 - it's too bright but it sorta works. *shrug*

Cosworx has pretty good quality wigs, but you have to take into mind about the straps in them and make sure they aren't tightened so it doesn't fit.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #539 on:** August 05, 2008, 10:03:53 pm »

I need help. I want to go as Hikaru Hitachiin on the date episode but I need either a Haruhi or a Kaoru. Is there anyone planing on going as either (it would be best if they were the same episode.)

Bob · « **Reply #540 on:** August 05, 2008, 11:18:32 pm »

well I put on my cosplay all together for the first time and it bombs. Bob seemed to fail epically. I got new Pirate pants and now I need to edit/make new stuff for that too. so im back at square one pretty much.

SageBell · « **Reply #541 on:** August 05, 2008, 11:34:30 pm »

my costume needs
micaiah:
new boots and to finish them
then the gloves need a finishing
and the wig need a bow.. all "hard stuff"
sexy no jutsu:
sew hem then sew shut (woo. easy!!!)

friend's mist cosplay:
figure otu how to add trim to the arm holes
and fix collar
and make gloves

other friend's marcia cosplay:
started pinning then sewing then finishing. so everything but cutting the first peice of fabric.

veraca · « **Reply #542 on:** August 06, 2008, 02:06:23 am »

XD If I could style my blue wig in record time - which I know I can't seeing as it's for a friend's cosplay - I'd totally go as Kaoru XD

I tried to make Haruhi's date episode outfit x_X Epic failed.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #543 on:** August 06, 2008, 08:32:46 am »

Thats alright. You don't need to worry about it. I'm sure there will be someone there, and I am not even sure that I am going to wear it yet. I still need to find the white vest.

I think i have decided on a costume for sakuracon though. It will take a lot of work and be very cool when I am done. I want to go as Jakotsu from Inuyasha.

nyahaha · « **Reply #544 on:** August 06, 2008, 09:02:27 am »

i finished one of my wings just now

(shoould i post a pic?) now im working on the other

nyahaha · « **Reply #545 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:26:48 am »

yay! i finnished the second wing!now all i have to do for misha is sew on the tail(i finished that yesterday) and wings, buy shoes and a wig, and make the pj pants(im gonna start those when my mom gets home, the instructions were confusing)

after i do the wings and tail i'm gonna attempt to make rikku's shoes. i have all the supplies so i think i'll be fine, but i might need to ask questions. ill keep updates on my progress here

to joann's!!!!!!!! out of the 100 spools of thread between me and my mom, we dont have light yellow. but thats just my luck so i have to walk to joanns now just to get one spool of thread. there goes an hour+ of time today.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #546 on:** August 06, 2008, 01:49:31 pm »

Oh man I must've completely missed that. I didn't know you were going as Pajama Misha!
I thought about going as Pajama Shia for some time. I have to costume but it's not done XDD

nyahaha · « **Reply #547 on:** August 06, 2008, 01:54:52 pm »

XD my friend is going as shia and im going as misha

. im also going as tsukasa in her summer uniform and hopefully Rikku from ff X

KairiLee · « **Reply #548 on:** August 06, 2008, 02:48:39 pm »

- - kairi's pink dress :

-need to fix hoody thingy .
-need to attach and sew together white strap on to white top .
-repaint oathkeeper charm .

x; i just ordered the bracelets she wears in the FMV cutscenes & then i think i can offically say this cosplay will be complete @_@; it feels weird just thinking that it will be done xD; now i'm checking over everything in my head to make sure =w=; .

- - kairi's school uniform :

- is complete 83 !
x; but i may try to find a bottle similar to the one she sends off to Sora & actually write her letter to put inside as a prop n__n .

- - friend's Olette Outfit :

-need to find shoes to alter .
- - get shoelaces & paint for details .
-need to get that stuff where you can draw designs and iron them onto clothing .
-order necklace & find a bracelet to match .
-find right shade of orange socks to match top @__@; .

x; i'm worried i may have to end up dying a pair of white socks orange >w>; .
thank goodness my friend already had pants that matched Olette's perfectly cause i didn't want to have to deal with that ahah & that we finally found an orange tank with white trim to wear on top of the black tank .

Fuyuko · « **Reply #549 on:** August 06, 2008, 04:17:14 pm »

Well, I just bought a white belt for my Hiei cosplay and I don't think I can find three others since they're not so popular in stores. T^T I also need to find a longer black coat which I'm having bad luck on as well, along with finding a longer sword. The wig I have was originally a DBZ one but I'll find a way to make it look more Hiei-ish... eventually. =.=;

And I'm pretty much done with Inui. All that's left is the... JUICE. >D
