Heh I guess I'm the first one... which is kind of shocking. At any rate, I cosplayed as Konan at AnimeNEXT, Otakon, and NYAF this year(200
cool . I'm going to wear the outfit to Otakon next year too, because I'm going to be in a skit with my boyfriend(Itachi), and the most kickass Pein ever- if you were at Otakon, you probably saw him there. NOT the same guy as was at AnimeNEXT, oh no, he's better than that guy, if you can even conceive of that in your little heads.
The costume still needs work. I mean, I had been calling it complete, and then suddenly decided, hell, I want to make the paper wings... and once the databook came out, I realized I also have to make her shirt- even though I'm usually 100% against anything even close to that slutty, but cosplay is cosplay, and I have to be exact. ...Oh, does anybody know what to call her shirt?! I mean, Rihanna wears one just like it in her Umbrella music video, and it'd be much easier to buy and modify something as crazy as that style of 'shirt', so if there's a name for it, please tell me, because I can't find it!

Please let me know what you think!!
...And...if you're going to Otakon 2009, are a good cosplayer, and would like to be in a skit, let me know. I'd love to have you join Itachi, Pein, and I. Making new friends is awesome.
