*Voted*

I'm working on touch ups for my Kurama cosplay now~ XD

[zomgmissy]

I'm having trouble deciding which character to cosplay as. I'm leaning toward Yusuke as he's my favorite character and everything, but then there's the matter of which outfit to use. Gaaah, it's kind of frustrating. x_____x

Dark Tournament Yuusuke!
When he was fighting Toguro. Coolest outfit... besides his Luke Skywalker cosplay XD

I'm going to cosplay as Botan for SakuraCon this year actually ^^

I'm working on the kimono now, but I'm not sure what wig to use. Anyone have any suggestions?

[LoveAnime18]

Here's a couple wigs I saw on ebay that I think with some work you could make a good Botan wig:

+ Link 1
+ Link 2
+ Link 3
+ Link 4
+ Link 5
+ Link 6
+ Link 7

I'll if I see some more good wigs I'll post them.

Also for styling Botan's wig, get a long wig and then use the stub method and attach the high ponytail.
A good place to refer to for the stub method: Link

oooh, I really like some of those wigs. Maybe I'll brave using ebay again (problems before with not getting the stuff I paid for) and get one.

I was also thinking of usng CosWorx's Cher 951.

As for the stub method, I'm a little confused (and nervous) as to how it works. After I cut it off and stub it, how would I reattach the hair into a high pony?

[LoveAnime18]

I've seen people use clips, foam and a few other stuff.
I found this thread: http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?p=2676454
And this person's gallery on how she did her ponytails looks pretty good too: http://www.cosplay.com/gallery/58829/p1

Also the Cher wig looks really good too.
I would probably go with that one since cosworx tends to be more trustworthy than ebay. And if you go with that wig or any other without bangs here's a tutorial on amphigory about cutting bangs: http://www.amphigory.com/wig_how_to_cut_bangs.html

I'm personally gonna use a clip-on for Kuronue's ponytail....shhh don't tell anyone...

I have a question I wanna cosplay kurama but I am having trouble wrapping my mind around how to attach the collar to his dark tournament yellow outfit =3

[LoveAnime18]

I did this a while ago for another friend on how to do the collar.

If you need me to explain more let me know.

[PhantasmaJun]

thx for the tut that is awesome I cant wait to sew it on there tomorrow =3

[LoveAnime18]

No problem.
I can't wait to see it~ XD

[doryishness]

Do you think the Tina 950 in the light blue from Cosworx would work for Botan?

[LoveAnime18]

The Tina wig would work fine.
You'll still have to mess with the bangs a bit, but it is less work than the Cher XD

And I can't say this enough, HeeHee you seriously have the best Yuusuke ever!
You did an awesome job on Kuwa-chan's wig too XD

Oh dang, thanks so much! I really hope to improve a lot for the next time I cosplay Yuusuke, though I'm not entirely sure which outfit I'd like to do next.
