Before I saw this movie, I was told by friends that I WAS Paprika. So I saw the movie, and I was like, O HAY THAR.
I've always been sort of a hesitant fan of Satoshi Kon (basically because he scares the hell out of me), but Paprika was a whole different story. I was caught in the first five minutes and swept up through the whole thing. I don't want to say much, to save spoiling the movie, but I adore Paprika's character, her sort of duality and the impressive presence she is. This is another of the "simple" outfits that I can't help but doing just because I adore the character it represents so much. ^^ This is all "closet" cosplay, collected from JC Penny and Ross, but the hair is mine own, and freshly dyed that morning. ^^
This costume made it's debut at Anime Wasabi 2008, in great comfort. ^^
