Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thanks for the tutorial, DP! It was really helpful.

I just finished one of my three costumes for YasumiCon (which is in three days crying ), hide:



One part of the costume is missing in that picture, which is a towel around my neck. If you know who hide is and his whole story, you'll know why I'll probably get beaten to death by some of his fans at the con.

I'm not doing it for originality, I'm doing it for two reasons: most hide fans are annoying, and I hate what hide has become now.

Whenever I get into a conversation about hide with one of his fans, they ALWAYS have to bring up his death. It's like, "Yeah, you like hide?" "Yes, I miss him so much!! RIP!!! crying " Jeez, people need to get over it, he's been dead for seven years. I was really upset when I found out, but I got over it. You don't see Beatles fans talking about John or George's deaths all the time. And most of the hide fans that are like that didn't even know him when he died. They got into him several years after, so it wasn't even as bad for them as it was for people who liked him when he was alive.

Second of all, I'm pissed off at how commercialized he's become after his death. It happens to almost every star, and it's part of business, but hide has been so overdone, it's ridiculous. I mean, for Pete's sake, they're selling hide shower curtains now! Come on! They didn't go that far with Kurt Cobain or Tu-Pac. Here's a picture someone I know made expounding on this:



On top of all of that, I bet if hide could see this right now, he'd be laughing. He was just the kind of person with the right sense of humor. All these fans that are yelling, "omg that's so disrespectful hide would hate you!" obviously don't know what kind of person he was, 'cause he'd enjoy it.

So, that's my whole opinion on the subject. Still, people aren't gonna know that at the con and I'm probably gonna be in for an interesting day. Especially since I'm hosting a jrock panel.

Mgna.... heres me sounding like a compleate moron...but I have to ask...who is Hyde and what doies a towel have to do with anything?I mean.....was it suspised to be a scarf...or was he strangled with one...?

hide (Hyde is a different person) was a Japanese rockstar in Japan, and he commited suicide by accidently hanging himself with a towel.

^_^ First day here, and naturally this is the first thread I check out, eh? I am amazed at the talent here, the costumes are all so wonderful! I really liked the Heather one, I'm currently trying to make my way through that game.

I don't currently have the pictures of me up on the internet anywhere, but I think I can find the images of the only two cosplay I have somewhere. (unless you count all my Ren garb...)

The two costumes I did were of Milly from Trigun (I'm still working on the Stungun) and Farfarello from Weiß Kreuz. I am going to get a new wig, though, since the last one was butchered. *sigh*

I wish I were able to make patterns myself, but in reality what I have for costumes are either made by others by altering patterns, or by me by altering found items. I do make all the accessories, though... And I am going to work on improving the trench coat for Milly. You'll see what I mean when I get the pictures up. ^_^

OK. SOme fun now. XDD
