Header? What's a header? O>o

My last day with a subscription. XD It was a gift from *z-ex, and I've had fun with it, so I hope I made her gift worth it. Thanks again. :3

:bulletred:Cosplaaaayyy....
I'm Broke. Yup. So until I get some Mulah, I won't be able to update my Reno or the Remix. >.>

But, that doesn't mean I can't plan ahead. As I told you all, I hope to do Nova from Bleach next. I've never made pants or hoods before, so that'll be interesting. Wish me luck (again, when I get money. XD ). But then what? What should I cosplay next? Here are my thoughts...

Some of my friends have suggested Kenshin Himura from Rouroni Kenshin. However, the ending from the OVA series has ruined the older version of him for me. T.T why did he have to die like that? Horrible. So IF I did this cosplay, I'd do the younger Battosai version of him. Plus, I just don't want to wear pink. XD


My other choice would be Tack from The Theif and the Cobbler. Anyone remember that movie??? 8D The costume looks really easy and I've always loved his character. I recently watched the fan-extended version of the film, so it inspired me.


**Sorry about forgettig this one, ~WitchyElphaba! She's got me to do Fai D. Flowright from Tsubasa CHronicles. o.o Yes, I have read some of the manga and I do realize he a boy version of a ditz, but i think that's why it would be so fun. And... more furr. I get to wear a big furry cloak. XDD ... at least, if I do that version of him.


Other than those two, I have honestly no idea. Any suggestions? Non-gender confusing light skinned/redheads prefered.
Oh yeah. NOT AXEL. I refuse to cosplay him, for many reasons.


:star: Suggestions/Votes :star:
Battousai Kenshin (RK OVA) VIII
Fai D. Flowright (Tsubasa)
Tack ... II
Spike (Cowboy Bebop) ... O.o?
Gaara (Naruto) ... II
Sasori (Naruto)
Iruka (Naruto)
Kurama (YYH) ... no. XD
Yoko (YYH)
Tasuki (Fuushigi Yuugi)


None of the suggestions really strike me so far, but keep them comming. Why not Kurama? Too femme. XD



***RANT WARNING. BAD LANGUAGE PARTIALLY USED.***


:bulletred: Annoyance.

Someone recently dissed my girl. This guy was one of those cosplay purists who expects cosplayers to look exactly like the character to do a cosplay. I've never met anyone so full of shit. Cosplay is not about accuracy, it's about having fun. Anyone who doesn't realize that isn't a cosplayer and doesn't appreciate cosplaying.

I was so taken aback that he would say something like that that I decided to follow up on him. Turns out my Kairi wasn't the only Kairi cosplayer he ranted on. Apparently one comment was so bad that it was hidden by an Administrator. He is obsessed with the character. I confronted him about it, but he has yet to reply, which only makes me think of him as either a coward or a jackass that thinks his opinion doesn't need to be backed by further explanation.

And while I think you would be an amazing Axel, I understand completely why you won't cosplay him.

And... wow. What a jerk. I mean... don't get me wrong, there are times when I look at cosplays and critique about what can be done better if the cosplayer themselves want to know how to impove, but like you said, cosplay is about having fun!! To some it's become about having everything perfect, and though I'm a perfectionist to my own costumes, that's still why I cosplay. For fun.

Oyy..

Ahw, sorry your sub's about to end. D8

And sorry that your broke for now too! Hope you can get up some mulah soon to work on the stuff you have planned~

AHH! THE THEIF AND THE COBBLER! I know that movie!! xD I haven't seen it in so long that I don't remember who Tack is, but I know the movie, nonetheless!! xD

Ergh, sorry, I have no suggestions for you. D8

Woah, that dude is totally full of shit. I have to agree with you: Cosplay is about having fun, not being totally and completely accurate! Geez, some people just act so stupid about that...>.>
And for what it's worth, I think Rex is one of the better Kairis I have ever seen. I'm not lying to make her feel better either, I really do think that. :nod:

I'm No. 40 (XL in Roman Numerals 8D) in the *Neo-Orginization. :3
Kenshin's animated memory is forever ruined by that last OVA, but we can still enjoy his manga version.~

I think you'd make an awesome Himura Battousai. :wow:

I don't think I've ever seen The Thief and the Cobbler. D: And I have no clue who the other guy is... XD

Seeing as you don't want to do Axel (which is a shame, since I'm sure you would of been kick-ass) then how about trying to do Vincent Valentine? I've always thought his character to be pretty cool so... and also, it could give you a chance to try different things, because obviously from Reno to Vincent, there's a HUGE gap. XD

Gosh, talk about idiot. I always say that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it at all. I mean, seriously, that's the guy's beef? He just needs to lay off, because (as you said before) cosplaying is for fun!! Geez. I've never actually cosplayed before, which is pretty sad. :( I plan to though... sometime... I hope... >.>;;

Amlish Babaganush!
everybody seems to cosplay axel nowadays so yeah, it isnt the most exciting cosplay. -_-

kenshin sounds good!! i hated that he died the way he did as well Y_Y although i had a feeling, when i read the last chapters of the manga, that he would end up like he did <_< meh.

anyway, good luck on nova! :3 (and on getting money to make his outfit XD!)
What a bastard (excuse my language) I can't believe he would diss her!!! You're right, cosplays are about havin fun, it doesn't matters if you don't look like the character, I thought she made a great Kairi!!

Kadaj: Wow, mako enhanced cookies! 8D
thats quite rude of him to say that to your Kairi. i would have personally told him to @%$# off. thats so rude to do to a person who just wanted to come and have fun.

and BTW i think its a good idea for you not to cosplay as Axel. you think the fan girls were on you as Reno only god knows what they'll do to ya as Axel!! ><

when people say im not normal. i ask them to define it.
when they say im "weird" i say if i weren't "weird" i would be boring.
Ah, the infamous pink Kenshin cosplay. Why they made the man wear a mixture of red and white I'll never know...I personally like the Battosai better...blue's way better than pink...so whenever you get the chance I think you should go for the Battosai version; it'd be awesome-ness on a stick; but of course it's all up to you.

About what you said about cosplaying, I agree entirely. Even though it's cool when cosplayers look like the characters, it's all about dressing up differently for a day or more, hanging out with friends (and maybe making some new ones on the way! ^^), and having fun.

That guy was an enormous baka (idiot in Japanese-just in case you didn't know. If you did...sorry for wasting lines) for dissing your Kairi and all the other Kairis...you should stab and hit him with your EMR...and yes, I'm serious about it. No one should have to take abuse by people like that.

I'm not holding this inside any longer, I think the world should know...I have two loves:

Being a Christian, loving God wholeheartedly...

...and cosplaying.

Who says you can't do both?

You could always wear a red hakama-shita because that is what he wore in the manga...I still don't know why they put him in magenta in the anime. He doesn't only wear red though he has also worn green,black, and blue. Everyone thinks that if he's wearing a navy-blue shirt that he's Battousai, but that's not true. He wore blue during the Kyoto arc in the manga and he was just the rurouni Kenshin. =D
