Clyde's Almost Finished (Day 154)

I finished all I could on Clyde today. I can't do anything else until I buy pants and fabric paint. So I worked on Pac-Man too! I made him 3D basically. Which involves cutting out strips of cardboard and a lot of hot glue. I managed to get glue directly from the gun onto my hand. Not quite as painful as I thought it'd be, but still, ouch.

I took the red ghost off of the shirt and put him in the right spot, then I sewed on the other two ghosts. I also had to re-iron the iron-on letters, but that was pretty easy.

Tomorrow, I plan to put the fabric on Pac-Man and cut out the fruits for Pac-Man's shirt.

Cosplayers & Halloween

I'm starting to regret starting this blog at this time. I'm not doing anything cosplay-related... I played with makeup this morning, taking the color out of my lips for crossplay, and practicing my makeup for Halloween.

I've heard that some cosplayers actually don't like Halloween because of all the "amateurs" and people that buy poorly-made Halloween Store costumes. I like to think of Halloween as a break from cosplay. I can still get into costume, which is usually something random and baseless, and still get complimented on my creativity, but it doesn't take nearly as much effort.

This year's Halloween costume is an upgraded version of my costume last year, a butterfly. I bought small, children-sized butterfly wings, a black mini skirt, and black knee-high pleather boots from a second-hand store, black tights with various colored butterflies on them, a lace jacket, and various colored hair extensions from Hot Topic, a pink tank top from Basic, and found a butterfly mask that my mom had bought a few years ago at a flea market, I believe. The mask, however, goes on the back of my head, held on with chopsticks through the eyes. I'm thinking of buying better, plastic chopsticks from a Japanese store called Daiso, but money is unbelievably tight, so I'm stuck with wooden ones for now.

I know it's early to plan my costume, but the Spirit Halloween store just came back into town for the season and I'm planning a Halloween party as well.

I feel like I've got a lot on my plate, what with YaoiCon and Haloween literally at the same time, and me planning to do both, YaoiCon the day before Halloween, of course, as it'll take all day to prepare for my Halloween night scary movie / costume party.
