chibi_kitty · 07-11-2002, 10:06 AM

so. do you know any "obsesed cosplayers" who would want to help me write a form/sheet telling all the things about when your obsesed with cosplay?

here are some off the top of my head:
You know your obsesed with cosplay when.....

-you spend all your money at the fabric store, even though you don't really need that yellow spandex... it might come in handy later.

-you drag your friends to conventions wearing the costumes you have made for them (and they don't like anime)

any more out there?

-you spend hours playing and pausing and playing and pausing DVDs and VHS's to make sure you've counted the right amount of pleats for that skirt, both front and back. o_O

1 you find yourself driving down the road and glancing at the mini malls and strip centers for possible places you could find cosplay accessories/materials for your costumes.

i.e. driving through Santee seeing a leather store and saying "oh malon belt!" or spotting a wig shop and saying "ooo wigs!"

2 you see anyone that might resemble a character from your cosplay anime/game and think to yourself "he/she would make a good cloud/vincent/sephiroth/link/yuffie/zelda etc"

3 you spend all your time online looking up cosplay pics, looking at cosplay sites, working on your cosplay site, and worrying about cosplay

4 you wear your favorite costume (aeris) to the mall once in a while.

Adella · 07-11-2002, 11:50 PM

Haha 've done that!! and you always try to make sure that no one's watching too. lolol

Lady Somairot · 07-11-2002, 11:53 PM

-you've collected so many wigs that you've started to use your PenPen plushie as a wig stand...

o_O (yeah, my Carmila wig is currently on a sweet little lion friend of mine...)

- when GoodWill becomes one of your true best friends

- you feel the need to have at LEAST two costumes a day for each day of a con

When the only reason you spend all that money on a hotel and a con is to have an excuse to cosplay.

When the second the con is iver, your whole trip home revolves around discussing which costumes you're going to start next weekend for the next con.

That's sad, as it perfectly describes my AX experience this year. >__<

HAHAHA THAT'S SO ME!! Admin's like "aaah let's relax and not talk about costumes for a little while" I'm like "Let'S GO TO JO_ANNS!!"

- your "future" or "planning" costume list is *too* long

- you start digging in you closet hoping you have something that might be good for your costume so you don't have to be more poor

- your working on two or more costumes

This is for male cosplayers/ crossplayers

You sew better then your grandmother.

You know how to put on make up and you hang your pantyhose onto the shower to dry after washing them.

You shaved your legs or used some type of hair removal powder/ lotion.

Adella · 07-12-2002, 05:14 PM

I wish I sewed better than my Mimi
