A2F III (Arkansas Anime Festival)

Well, I was asked to be a guest poster on this world, so I'll share my first cosplay project.

My first cosplay project was Akasuna no Sasori, of "Naruto Shippuden" fame. It actually wasn't very complicated. My boyfriend ordered the Akatsuki cloak from Ebay. I couldn't find a cheap Gaara or Sasori wig, so I went to my local costume shop and found a Columbia wig, from the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show. For pants, I just wore plain black capris. I couldn't find a way to make the sandals, so I simply wore black flipflops. Seeing as I'm a girl, I had to wear a shirt under my cloak. Looking back, I wish I'd made a couple of small puppets to have carried around. Well, here are some pictures!

DDR's kind of hard in that cloak...

I was even able to do the black cowl! However, that one only works because it's a close-up. I used a black Halloween cape...

For my next project, I'm working on a female Ranma Soutome ("Ranma 1/2) costume. I'll be wearing it at A2F IV, which is around the end of April. My hair is naturally read, and I usually wear it in the pigtail, so I have the hair down. I also have the pants and shoes. I have the fabric and pattern for the shirt, I just need to get it to a seamstress.

If any of you Otakuites plan on coming to A2F IV, PM me, and we'll see about meeting up. I'd love to meet some of you!
