Whee, I finished my costume! At last! Except for a few fiddly little details (like cinching the pants at the bottom, and the wrist wraps), but the majority is done, and that's what's regonizable.

Here we have some pictures of me in my "completed" costume :3

The one pic of the set with me in my specs :O My hair isn't technically long enough to form proper loopies, but it does the trick.

One and a half hours to make those, man. And I keep feeling like they'll break :( I need a way to reinforce 'em.


My overall conclusion: the costume looks great, but I could stand to lose a few pounds ^^a Or kilos even. *deep abiding shame* On the plus side, I seem to have 'finished' a costume for AI well in advance for once. Though I do plan to make the 'rest' of it, plus a prop, before August. Note to self: find out where you can find a nice blue watery-looking scarf. Translucent = good.

As for the costume itself, the sleeves are a little big, and I could stand to move a few clasps a little ways, but those are about my only complaints.

If anyone out there wants details on the making of any of this or to pay me five bucks plus shipping for their very own Katara hand-me-down/heirloom necklace (just kidding... I think), go ahead and ask; I'll be happy to share (read: talk your eyes off).


Only presided over one group taking books so far tonight, but was recognized by all of them, which made me feel completely validated ^____^ And also reinforced the idea that most college students are kid!uncool. Though one person in my art class did recognize my (then un'finished') costume after prompting. Which gets him points.

Skipping the Adventures in Political Activism entry again for now, possibly indefinitley. (I really have no idea how to spell that last word :D;;;) Unless somebody actually wants to hear (in detail) how I sat outside in the cold for two hours, holding a sign and generally encouraging people to vote early. And then being told off by republicans.

Also, this remains my only 'dressing up' icon for the moment.

Can you beat yelling "CONDOMS ladies and gentles, CONDOMS!" at the GSA booth? Or the two Barbie doll cake to support gay marriage?
...though, really, that's most of my activism stories right there...eh.

Eh, the QSA (GSA type thing) at my school likes being special. I think it's a toss up as to what was weirder--my Faire shouting or the cheerleading. >_>; We be special, yo.

What, you don't feel like yelling and geting pepole staring at you over your free condom sign and your explanitory pamplets? XD

The costume is very nice and well made! My apologies for being ignorant (I'm a sorry excuse for an otaku), but who are you dressed up as? ^^*

Ironically, guess what I happened to find while flipping channels this afternoon? I was like, "Hmmm, loopies . . . ohmygawsh! It's HER!" XD

*feels like such a toolbox*

*puts on cosplay costume designer hat* For the "water"/scarf, I'd try light blue satin with some sparkly taffeta over/accenting it. It'll be shiny, like the real thing. The taffeta would also be semitransparent. *removes hat*

You look great. I want to try for a Katara outfit next year, along with the Temari I've got planned. XD

Yup. Doormat charas may look pretty, but good grief, you just wanna kick them. ;D
