Well I'd wanted to do him anyway... but I didn't have the time/money to make the jacket. I will someday... I have it all figured out (manga reveals the secrets ~_^)

A friend of mine, Kimiko, begged me to be Touya for NDK because she was doing Aya, and her friend was doing Yuuhi. So.. I did. Another 2-week costume. I really hate those. But it got done.. my mom and I found the fabric cheap, and picked up some silver buttons and snaps. I colored the buttons to be fully silver, and made the pants and shirt myself. I don't even remember how we made the shirt anymore. it was SUCH a rush... but I think we used a chinese tank top pattern to modify.

The belt was mine to begin with, and those boots probably look familiar. ^^;; I did actually make the choker Aya gives him, but it broke (rrr) so I have to remake the cross.

The collar took me a full day to make. I had some vinyl, so I took the pattern off a collar from my goth days. n.n so that was done, but I waited on the snaps. I then made all the extra gold peices out of sculpy. The center part took a while, it was a brass buckle but I had to find a good shot of the design... but yeah.. with that said and done, I baked them on and colored them a better shade of gold. Then I sewed on snaps in the right places. ^_^

Next up.. the earrings. These were a bit of a pain to make, but sculpy was my friend. ::laugh:: to get them on I took out my piercings and spirit-gummed them to my ears. It worked really well.

Something I haven't mentioned... my hair all these years has been styled by my wonderful hairdresser Kim. She is AWESOME and has a lot of fun doing my hair anime style. ::Laugh.:: Her last task was cutting it like Hugo's, I like to give her a chance to cut it once at least beforehand so she can mess around with it. ^_^ She also dyes it. (Expnsive. ^^;; She has to bleach my hair and THEN color it.)

Okay then.. that's it! I must go get food. x.x
