costumes

My costume rules. The fact that no one recognizes it makes it more cool somehow. :)

It also makes you look delicious!

And it got me tiny Snickers bars, which were delicious as well! (Thank you!)

you're so cute. I'm not a witch, I'm a sorceress!

hey, is that ANIME HAIR???

[jinian.livejournal.com]

I expect it could be termed anime hair. You've already seen a more extreme specimen of that, though, last time we went to Noodle Studio.

I'm not a sorceress, I'm a geomancer! Rar!

school girls say Rar back! :)

Incredibly cool. :) And also Wim's No-Face outfit... wow. Very, very nifty. :)

Um... I will need to wash stuff before I give it back to you; I got a little sweaty dancing last night. ;) And I'm hoping that I can hold onto the outfit until after I go see the next HP movie. :)

[jinian.livejournal.com]

Yes'm. That was the plan. You'll get to see my costume at your birthday party for sure, and I can probably convince Wim to come too.

And your mention of magnets not working for the mask bit inspired me to see if they will work for holding labelly bits onto mine. (Details forthcoming.) Thanks!

Ooh! Did it work? I saw you got the prize.

[nolly.livejournal.com]

Different costume :)
The prize was yesterday at work, when I let a coworker pretend to choke me.
This is for my costume for parties tomorrow. I think it will work -- the magnets I got will hold through the thing I wanted them to hold through; the hot glue gun is warming up now to attach them to the labelly bit. Details Sunday or Monday.

It worked pretty well. Stronger magnets would have been better, but these were what I could find on short notice,

Oooh, that came out great!

[torquemada.livejournal.com]

WAI!!!

Also, if you need magnets that will actually hold, come see me. I've got your magnet connexion.

Magnets

[hattifattener]

Yeah, we were using these ancient cheap magnets that have been rattling around in my junk box for about ten years, and didn't really have time to mess with it much. Stronger magnets would be better.

Re: Magnets

[torquemada.livejournal.com]

I've got a couple stacks of little industrial-strength magnets. You guys are welcome to some.

What great costumes!

recognized it!

[pir-anha.livejournal.com]

but only because the *poing* is a major addict of said game, and i have watched a lot of it, making fun of its cuteness all the time (the *poing* claims a hatred for all things cute).

it looks excellent!

Re: recognized it!

[jinian.livejournal.com]

Someone got it! Hurrah!

(Yeah, there are not a lot of things cuter than FFT. FF9 is damned cute, but I think Ramza Cottontail with his little white butt all through Chapter 4 trumps Vivi. Oops, you hit the RPG-geek trigger.)

Re: recognized it!

[marzipan-pig.livejournal.com]

I feel like you're doing something I shouldn't be watching or something.

[baxil.livejournal.com]

That totally kicks ass. I want to bear your children. (Or whatever sentiment applies with reversed gender roles.)

I'm kind of ashamed that I didn't pick up on it right away, actually; I kept trying to think "Princess Mononoke," which is even further off base than Pocohontas.

Maybe in a future year, one where I'm actually hypothetically back in Seattle, a bunch of us will have to have a big Tactics costume convention, and get as many job classes costumed as possible? Realistically, I'd need to be a Calculator, but the hair might be a problem.

FFT cosplay

[hattifattener]

You're scaring me.

Wow, I finally found a way? ;)
