That is the way Sara did it and hers turned out fantastic. It wasn't too hard to paint on the details. All you need is a fine brush and you're good.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #151 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:22:52 pm »

Why thank you for such good ideas! XD But Ive gotten lazy after spending countless hours on Sasori's torso so I think I'll just buy that plushie type gourd at unique imports and put some wraping paper and a bow on it, Stick a santa hat on my head fix something up a little to make it a tiny bit more chirstmasy and thats about all I can afford after spending almost $300 For all of my friends gifts together.....

nikkiolie · « **Reply #152 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:24:33 pm »

yeah I understand completely. I really am not looking forward to spending more on touching up costumes....maybe I'll wait till after I start working in December seeing how I only have $60 left.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #153 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:26:46 pm »

Yah, some of the fabric and everything can get pretty spendy and im a big one for spending all of my money on christmas and nothing for myself but a santa hat.

OH NOES!
GUYS! Winter rage is on the 13th!
I have to be at school and volunteering for those who are less fortune.
I don't know if I can make it or not!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #155 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:41:26 pm »

awww that's too bad. If you can't make it will you tell me by Thanksgiving ^_^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #156 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:47:36 pm »

... oh ****. Winter Rage is on that day, isn't it? Ergh... >.> what to do... what time and where is the meet-up again?

Sugarlat · « **Reply #157 on:** November 14, 2008, 09:00:13 pm »

I just found out today that it was on the 13th and 14th.
Oh and Scarlet, chu need to update your word count on NaNoWriMo.org.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #158 on:** November 15, 2008, 12:00:54 am »

This meet-up is the 13th at noon at Lloyd, by the skating rink

Sugarlat · « **Reply #159 on:** November 15, 2008, 12:05:00 am »

[/headdesk] Winter Rage is from noon to 5 I think.... Or maybe it ends at like 1? I forgot....
Either ways it's like 4 hours and then sunday we go to the school and give the families presents.
Saturday is going around neighborhoods to pick up donations to less fortune families and sorting it.
And gift wrapping for the family your supporting too ^_^ Lot's of good comes from Winter Rage.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #160 on:** November 15, 2008, 09:38:02 am »

That sounds like it would be fun to do. It also sounds a little more important than a Christmas Party so I think your priority should be to that. If you can't make it just let me know and I'll take you off the list.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #161 on:** November 16, 2008, 11:12:22 am »

I want to do this, but I'm not sure if I can come yet. I'll let you know as soon as I know...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #162 on:** November 16, 2008, 08:19:18 pm »

alright. Also I wanted to let people know that there are...
11 DAYS LEFT TO SIGN UP FOR SECRET SANTA!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #163 on:** November 16, 2008, 09:08:01 pm »

Hey, should I tell you my likes for the Secret Santa? I didn't do that just yet.

I can't wait to do something for my Secret Santa. I'm afraid it will have to be home-made (Since Coach isn't going to give me another work day until the 1st *repressed anger at stupid economy*), but I do have art supplies

Of course, probably a dozen people just thought, "Whoah, that's lame. I hope she doesn't get me"

nikkiolie · « **Reply #164 on:** November 16, 2008, 09:16:13 pm »

I would love to get a homemade present.

And you can send me your likes and dislikes, it can help who ever has you think of something to get/make.

DevinShadowV · « **Reply #165 on:** November 17, 2008, 09:12:32 am »

I got my gift ready for the secret Santa.

Some people really don't understand. I get it from my boyfriend from time to time. My parents' accept it with as much grace and patience as they can muster (which is a lot), and they get excited when they see my costume really come together. I was surprised how much my mom told her friends about Davy Jones. Normally I think it's a quiet subject around my household.

Perhaps what might be best is if you talk to her about going to a cosplay picnic, a small event with a relatively small amount of people in it, together. To make her more comfortable, it might be best if you went in normal dress. You could introduce her to us and get her to talk to us to see that we're not the fetish cosplayers who do, erm, things in costume and that we just do it for fun and to express love for a show or character. I'd be willing to talk to her as Davy Jones. I consider my life outside of cosplay to be exceedingly normal. Cosplay is just the spice that makes my life more challenging, creative, and fun.

If it wasn't for cosplay, after all, my grandma's gift of a sewing machine would have just gone to waste. I love my sewing machine so much :3 I sew normal stuff, too! Like... like pants!

EDIT: By the way, I don't think going behind your mom's back would help anything. She might be pissed if she found out.

Jones I think I love you even more right now X3 *glomp*

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #171 on:** November 21, 2008, 06:11:38 am »

I think I know what I'll be getting someone. Mwahaha.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #172 on:** November 21, 2008, 09:34:22 am »

Yey pocky! Um......I wanna sign up for the secret santa but my mom and aunt dont have everything set and stone yet. ;_;
And I would be a secret super santa cuz I have gifts for almost 30 people.
Oh and....I have my christmas Gaara done.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #174 on:** November 21, 2008, 03:52:03 pm »

Well you need to figure things out kinda soon....there is about a week left to sign up.

Yup that is right 6 MORE DAYS TO SIGN UP FOR SECRET SANTA

I'm glad your gaara is done, that way if you can go then everything is ready XD

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #175 on:** November 21, 2008, 04:00:25 pm »

Gha! Im gonna try and figure everything out with my aunt and mom and hope one of them can drive me up a day before we actually have to be at something "important" (Baby showers.....)

Yup I dont think I make a very good Gaara tho I look scary with my eyeliner on. And instead of the whole love symbol going on my head im going to put a heart maybe so I can act different lol fun loveing gaara O-o

SirenMarina · « **Reply #176 on:** November 21, 2008, 10:40:36 pm »

Christmas Ahiru is almost done...I'm screwin around with the wig....it looks funny right now X3

Sugarlat · « **Reply #177 on:** November 22, 2008, 01:17:52 am »

Nothing done nothing done!
The play has been keeping me after school from 8 am in the morning to 10 pm at night!
That's 15 hours at school! THAT'S NOT NORMAL!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #178 on:** November 22, 2008, 01:41:54 am »

It is if you're in grad school from what I hear.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #179 on:** November 22, 2008, 02:57:43 pm »

ok......might cross grad school off my list XD

edit:

So I have to work from 6 am till about 2 Friday after Thanksgiving (x.x) so I'll send out the names as soon as I get back

Ah. Black Friday. Good luck with that. I worked a Black Friday at Michaels and had to be there by 5AM. It's brutal.

I really, really want to go to grad school.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #181 on:** November 23, 2008, 03:43:06 pm »

I might go to grad school depending on how much I make after I graduate next year, and if I get school payed off or if the company that I work for will pay it.

Oh right. For the presents I have a request. Could everyone wrap their secret santa present in newspaper? That way people wont be able to distinguish who is giving what.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #182 on:** November 23, 2008, 08:53:37 pm »

I keep forgetting to ask how long winter rage is....

nikkiolie · « **Reply #183 on:** November 23, 2008, 09:58:28 pm »

well get on it. The party is coming up and I need to know if you are going to be in the secret santa or not

Sugarlat · « **Reply #184 on:** November 23, 2008, 10:03:27 pm »

I'll ask tomorrow XD
I've been buseh with the play and now that's it's ovah I'll [/hopefully] be less buseh

nikkiolie · « **Reply #185 on:** November 23, 2008, 10:04:28 pm »

yeah that would help to relieve stress.

I can't wait till this midterm is over (it's tomorrow)

ArtMage · « **Reply #186 on:** November 24, 2008, 03:35:11 pm »

Hey guys bit of bad news, Akamaru has been retired. I still intend to go but I doubt any of my other cosplays will be done in time. If it's all right I'll just come in one of my other fursuits. I'll put one of the ninja headbands on it and call it an OC.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #187 on:** November 24, 2008, 04:34:46 pm »

it's fine, do don't have to come in costume at all if you don't want to

lychee-twist · « **Reply #188 on:** November 24, 2008, 07:30:07 pm »

I might not be able to come in cosplay, but we'll see. i guess it depends on where it is.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #189 on:** November 24, 2008, 07:32:33 pm »

It is at Lloyd. We are going to meet at the skating rink at noon.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #190 on:** November 24, 2008, 08:02:55 pm »

Omg my mom said that she could try and get me to Portland on the 13th >:3
I might be a little late to lloyd tho depending when we leave.
But im still figureing everything out so...yah I'll get back to you soon ='D

nikkiolie · « **Reply #191 on:** November 24, 2008, 08:47:35 pm »

Alright. Once you know the final details let me know and I'll add you to the list. The sooner the better ^_^

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #192 on:** November 24, 2008, 08:51:13 pm »

Ok. Im sure I'll find out by tommarow. I told my mom I need the answer before or by thanksgiveing.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #193 on:** November 24, 2008, 09:02:42 pm »

that is good enough for me ^_^

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #194 on:** November 24, 2008, 09:03:58 pm »

Yey! So if my mom and aunt say yes put me down for Christmas Gaara or secret santa Gaara. =3

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #195 on:** November 24, 2008, 10:28:31 pm »

I'm gonna be Garnet, just so you know.
I plan on going, but will probably leave early and go to Winter Rage. How about that, Monica? Winter Rage runs laaaater on Saturday. Trust me. This'll be my third year... and 200+ families? We've got work to do. We could stay until... maybe 2 or 3, then head over to help sort and stuff.

I heard something bout newspaper...

Yeah it would be nice if everyone could wrap their present in newspaper so you can't tell them apart. Of course put the person name on there somewhere but the newspaper is to keep other from telling who put what present in.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #197 on:** November 25, 2008, 10:00:28 am »

Is it too late to sign up?
'cause if it's not, you can count me and one of my close freinds in, will email you soon (later tonight probably)
please respond,
thanks
~soundninja12~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #198 on:** November 25, 2008, 10:03:00 am »

Nope it is not too late to sign up. I just need your friends name.

You want to sign up for the secret Santa right?

I will be sending out the information through PM's, emails (if that is how you told me you wanted to be in), or on myspace (also if that is how you told me you wanted to join)

If you would like to get this information somewhere else please send me a pm with the way you want me to send it.

Thanks

p.s.: I also updated my signature to include the time and meeting place of the part *points down*

soundninja12 · « **Reply #199 on:** November 25, 2008, 10:20:20 am »

Of course we'll sign up for the secret santa, but I have to confirm it with my parents (who will let me go, as long as I go with my friend)
and as I said, I think it'd be better if I emailed you
