IDK if you saw the thread omni but my roomies decided they want to go to ACen ^^ Just someone needs to get a room, I don't have a credit card ;_;
-
! Yay! Hopefully one of them gets the room! I am so excited to meet you! Plus Cactus and Mr.Prince will also be there. heehee apforums meetup!
-
Don't have a credit card :getlost:
Why even bother hitting the pay button, right?I am so lucky, I forgot to hit the pay now button when I left so my order was cancelled. Thank goodness, because I have 2 black wigs that would work already >_> I was gonna get Scruffy L (what I have for Iceburg) then just gel it back. The wig I have is similar to the scruffy L, but on me it's the perfect length for Croc. <3 Even better XD

you can do paypal with debit cards

If for some reason one of your friends don't want to put the room on their card, then see if your parents or grandma will. Then when they rent to hotel room, they just need to let the hotel staff know they will not be the ones checking in. Then teh hotel will just need to fax them a signature waiver thing, have them fill it out.
Or if you do have a debit card with a credit card logo, they will take that too.
-
I was afraid their might be a limit on my card but, seeing my mom was able to use my card for $8K, I think there might not be. So I should go do this nao >_>
I've asked before for my grandma to use one of the credit cards but she refuses, she doesn't trust that people will pay.
EDIT: There's no double bed rooms left at any of the hotels, but we're gonna put 5 people in a one bed room anyway!!! XD
Though I can't tell if you pay in full right now or not ._. I dont want to pay until I get to the hotel..
-
woo I'm glad I have a credit card and a bank card so things like that don't happen to me x_x; enough crap comes my way without being able to reserve my own hotel room! I've got Otakon's hotel room reserved within walking distance and there's a GREAT BIG HUGE chance I won't be able to go now =_=; Thanks living at home.
I'm thinking of getting curlers today to try and style my Kidd wig. First and foremost..sleep, then I will try and comprehend what all needs to be done for my Kidd wig to be as awesome as I know it can be, it has such potential if I could just get it to STOP deflating =_=;; GUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
You just pay a deposit in April. The rest is in May. Also you can rent roll away cots. And if you get there early on Thursday you can probably get a double bed room. The rooms are just handed out on a first come first serve basis.
Also, Melody, the sewing machine I bought today was made sometime between 1910-1925. I am so excited! It only cost me $11! It just needs cleaned and fixed up so it will work.
-
I reserved a room at the Double Tree, not the Hyatt. That's another reason I didn't want to mess with the con hotel, my friend cancelled her reservation past that date in April and was charged one night's stay >_>
-
Fishnet style mesh no…but places like Hancock and Joann's have mesh or tulle as they would call it. If worse comes to worse, that might work.
-edit-
Ok I did some looking around online and found some things.
Dance mesh( I think this one is the best.)
Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!
-
Hahaha you are welcome.
-
Does anyone know where I can find either; Pants or a hat, for a Kuma cosplay?
-
well I know for sure I'll be making my sisters Kuma hat xD actually… her wig came today EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! but the pants, I would suggest getting white pants and either using sharpie to put the spots on, or other people probably used paint xD I thought Sharpie was faster but I dunno.
I was at a Target though and they had those bucket looking hats similar to Kumas... you might try there?

Mmmmfufufu~ I finally have time to come here and post something! 8D I got the AAC pics from my bro. Here's our lovely, lovely OP group:
-
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH ;___________; I wanna cosplay with you guys SO BAD I can't even describe it in words except to tell you it makes me tear up and want to cry seeing such an amazing group Dx! I LOVE your Inazuma coat SO MUCH _
-
D'awwww~!! X33 You truly have the best reactions to these things I've ever read! XD Your excitement makes me squee! I'm so glad you like us, and I really hope we'll get to cosplay with you someday, too! >w< hugs
Thank you, I love my coat, too~! X3 It's quite comfy~ The whole outfit is, really. Except the pants. -.-; Well, after I walk around in them for a while, I get used to them. XD So it's all good. -
That's my favorite Nami cosplayer ever ;; you all are AMAZING and HOPEFULLY we can work something out with our mom to go to Otakon next year, it would make me feel sooo amazing to actually get to hang out with actual One Piece cosplayers ;; especially in a group THAT huge?? OH MY GOD…
-
So I bought the fabric to make the dress for Aries from Fairy Tail. Now I just need to find that dress pattern….
Also there will be a Lucky Roux cosplayer at ACen. I am so excited to see him, I have never seen a Lucky Roux cosplayer!

Aww you look great in your costume! That Sanji is really good, too. And the Doflamingo!! Wow!
-
i havent seen anybody do moria??
-
someone posted one a long time ago, I believe?
-
I'm hoping to cosplay Moria when my sis cosplay's Kuma but I know someone EPIC in Kaizokusyn's group cosplayed Moria I believe? and Alina cosplayed a cute version of him n__n
-

I'm planning on doing a moria in the future, along with Kuma as well. I had this idea of taking a hoola hoop and making short pants around it. Then I'd attach it to suspenders and wear it down at my knees. Put a long shirt/coat and voila! instant dumpy Moria. I'd have to get clownish shoes though >,>…hmmmm..where to get clown shoes
Anyway I had a similar idea for kuma, but just short pants, with a waistline that ends midthigh, just to create an illusion of disproportion. Plus I can impersonate there Japanese VAs pretty well. Plus Kuma's soft voice is very close to my mock bishonen voice. So it'd be saying Engrish names when meeting SH cosplayers.
Also great work everyone. I've been unable to be an active member due to school but i lurked and saw such dedication to the fandom. Keep it up n.n!
-
fufufufu..look at my find today :D :D
!
I know they aren't perfect, but they make the 2nd hardest aspect of Doflamingo's cosplay out of the way! Have the shoes, the glasses, still need the wig and the coat..then the rest is childs play xD yeah!
Hey Akutabi!!! Oh man, your ideas sound sooo awesome __ I wish I were as dedicated, but I know no one will care about my cosplays, I'm DEFINITELY not tall enough for Kuma OR Doflamingo, but I'm still doing the cosplays so they're just for fun! Hopefully maybe we'll see you at Otakon if we get to go??? Maybe?? xD it's a BIG MAYBE x_x
-
Since we are on a stand still with Naoko's chibi moon costume until I get more stuff for it, we have started working on other projects.
Chris' cousin is doing Sailor Saturn for our Sailor Moon group and we started working on her Silence Glaive. Don't really have too much of it yet though
!
Then I have been working on Aries from Fairy Tail. I have so far made the bodice of the dress. Turns out my boobs are indeed humongus and don't fit into the bodice. XD Then I didn't buy nearly enough fabric to make the whole dress. So instead I tried making the arm things and failing. So with what fabric I had left I made her collar.
!
For those of you who don't read or watch FT, This is what she looks like. I am actually doing her "Loki Arc" Version. But the only difference between the two is she didn't have the pouch in that arc and her collar was white and slightly bigger then. I am making the collar slightly smaller because well…in the Loki arc the collar is kinda awkward looking. Basically it was way huge but didn't come all the up to her chin. However when I made it way huge, it came up all the way to my chin. Also it looks like her hair turns into her collar on that version. So I improvised a bit and made the collar smaller.

Hi Ms. Neko! wave
Sick glasses. They'd be perfect enough for me, i know that. Doflamingo's always been a staple among top fav shichi ever since Jaya and his badass intro. plus puffy pink boa jacket=kickass! ;D
Don't talk sillybopontehhead You're not that short and however you do a cosplay is totally worth it for you in the end. I'd love to get a shichibukai group with you guys for Otakon possibly. It's a BIG MAYBE on my end as well. SInce I'm a graphic design student and my university is kinda reputably know, I need to go on internships b4 senior year so it'll be a snag in terms of how next summer plans go. Maybe if I move out West in the future, we could make it to a kon together. maybe>.>..like you said BIG MAYBE!

Oh man! That Aries is gonna be COOL! Very excellent choice in terms of Celestial Spirit. 8D The collar looks so fwuffy and huggable. Great work so far. :D
-
Thanks hun! It is very fluffy and huggable. It is so so so soft! I love it! And yes Aries is indeed an excellent Celestial spirit. I can't wait to have her finished and cosplay her.
-
Fufufufu
!
New cosplay wig xD hehehhehe
And YES, before anyone decides to be snide and bitch at me, NO this is NOT ONE PIECE. I'm doing this for my friends group, my sis and I are cosplaying as the Hitachiin Twins from Ouran Host Club. I'm very excited about this :D :D :D Hopefully my sis and I will have some pics up tomorrow of us both together being twin-like :D
-
eeee!! I love the Twins! I am so excited.
you could also use that wig to be Loki -
Already told you this but I LOVE the wigs! They are awesome! I am so excited that you got them and can't wait for more pics!!
-
Thanks guys <33333 Sorry we didn't get any pics today x_x;; gahhh my sis and I instead went to Hancocks and spent out the ASS on more stuff, luckily Hancocks is having a sale on buttons on the 31st/1st so I can get all the Admiral buttons then! Woo hoo!!
-
You guys are gonna pull the twins off really well XD
-
I just got a cop shirt for free for my cosplay!! friend's dad is a cop. just had to carefully take the badges off the arms. It even fits me. I better get working on that hat!
-
Anime Matsuri is a GO!!!! Anyone else planning to go and hit it up with some One Piece cosplay????
My sis and I are soo soo soo excited, god, you guys would never be able to imagine since you can freely go to any con you want..but..this is SOOO AWESOME!!! xDDD
OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD I gotta get my Bon-chan material and wig xDDDDD YES!!!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MUST start working on stuff _ got Kizaru material… got shoes coming, now I need stuff for Inazuma and a wig, stuff for Moria... and a wig x__x; GYAH must get on the ball!
-
I'll be - if I can get a good wig and such 'course - as Kiwi to the next MCM May 10 London Excel.
If I cna't get stuff for Kiwi and I probleh won't have a Mozu anyway which will suck, I'll go as Tashigi.
All depending on the stuff I can find at BlueWater… seeing as I don't buy costumes but use real clothes and such.I doubt I should go as Kiwi anyway as on MCM October Isaw people going as OP characters when I jsut started watching it, they were all wearing Alabastar arc clothing so I think about everyone oing just watches dubs...
But i want to go as someone with a sword so I can buy one of those wooden swords there and sword fight propperly, 'cause sword fightsare super fun. And I on;y got to sue a sheth beofre 'cause of not being able to buy one.
//ramblerambleramble
-
Yay a Kiwi cosplayer! I want to do Mozu sometime in the future. But I can't get anyone to be my Kiwi and really it wouldn't be the same unless I have a Kiwi. T.T
-
I feel your pain.
I used to go as Patti from Soul; ater with a friend as Liz, but when mine friend didn't go as Liz suddenly I happened to be a fem Luffy. erm whut.
I didn't bother looking for cosplay pictures of us that time since about half thought I was Luffy. :UI don't think it would be too bad with Kiwi and Mozu as they're pretty defne characters.
I'd be your Kiwi… even if it's miles away...
Just pretend I'm there! -
o.O Patti =/= Female Luffy….peoples are crazy.
T.T Yes you can be my Kiwi. You will be there in spirit with me!
-
You and me both.
I'll admitt I'd lost mine hat and the hat I used was straw…
-
@MoonNeko and CoralSnake: If there's one thing I can expect from you is that when you cosplay you go all out. You pretty much got the second half of OP characters covered. ^.^
Whoo! I feel so violated…financially. Just got done ordering beam katana parts for my No More Heroes cosplay and lets just say my situation isn't pretty in terms of price XD. Totally was the screwed pooch on that one. I'd naturally just make it but it's highly convienent since all you have to do is assemble it and it's parts you'd normally have to build it custom. At least with the assembly I'll know how to build a Kizaru light sword when I cosplay him some day >:D oh yeah!

It always does suck when you have to put down a ton of cash for something. My husband needs what is called a kidney belt from a cosplay he is doing and oh man those things are terribly expensive. I keep telling him to just fake it with something. But he is being a stickler and wanting it to be all accurate and shit. Actually it is kinda getting annoying, because the boots that he plans on using (because those were the ones the character wore in the movie.) are also hella expensive. And he throws a fit whenever I tell him to just buy an off brand cheaper pair.

It's a dude thing. I know for me stuff has to be very accurate when it comes to cosplay. But if I can get an off brand or cheaper one that looks legit or holds up, I get it. But if that isn't the case, I go overboard.
For this No More Heroes cosplay though, I didn't want no toy lightsaber to use for the beam katana and honestly felt that custom ones Star Wars fans build and sell are very accurate looking to the actual article. So perfection won over practicality and ease on this matter. Oh well P: I still live…
What's your husband going as? The boots and belt and movie line hints sparked my curiosity :3
-
fufufufu I am not alllowed to reveal it. It is his secret cosplay.
Nah I understand wanting to look accurate. But seriously he could just do a couple things in a cheaper knock off. -rolls eye- oh well, its his money so I really shouldn't care
-
My god I spend enough money on cosplay, there's no WAY I could be accurate with buying the exact shoes or something like that x_x;;; I've already gotten 3 pairs of Nami shoes and only cosplayed her technically once at a con xD I am a horrible glutton for punishment =_=;;
@Akutabi - Dawwwwww x3 Thanks!! We hope not to disappoint, I still appreciate your help with my Kidd goggles, if it weren't for you we would of had NO EFFING CLUE how to do them ;_; Thankyou soo much!!! I can't WAIT to cosplay the Admirals and take badass pictures trying to look intimidating with our short selves XD LMAO

I know the feeling. My closet is about three pairs away from the need for a shoe tree and a lock on the door. I've bought alot but never gave them much use afterwards. My parents aren't too bad with me cosplaying but they'd like me to not drop 3/4 of a Benjamin on shoes every time a kon rolls around.
It wasn't much trouble; just posting and organize my grey matter excretions ^^; If you ever have any other issues I wouldn't mind helping you out, or anyone here for that matter. If there's one thing I love with cosplay, it's a challenging puzzle to be figured out bites thumb
GO CHIBI ADMIRALS!! lol but you can't be that short, I forget what you said your height was..so I find it hard to understand your vertical predicament. What can you be 5'7''/5'6'', if so that ain't bad. I'm an inch under six. Most of my girlfriends are that height range.
@omnichild: I guess i'll have to wait then :B waiting patiently
