soc_puppetOkay, I am officially declaring now, the brief period of time between when my Comp II class got out early and when Anime Club starts, to be Socchan Time, in which Socchan will do Socchan-related things for once and not just RP the way she has been lately.
Minor emo speedbump last night. I really, really wish it wasn't so much easier to lie to my dad than to tell him that four hours online is like four hours of hanging with my friends, but that's the way it is. Arguing with him gets me nowhere fast; lying at least gets me where I want to go first.
Thankfully, the emo was completely flattened by my post in CFUD, in which Sonoko got a little bit of gossiping done, but mostly may-or-may-not have crushed on Aerrow. (We're both - player and character, that is - still trying to figure it out, I think.Someone stop me from apping Stork.)
Have gotten the go-ahead from my Comp II teacher to write about lack of female action figures and what kind of message we're sending girls these days anyway. Wanted to write about pet rats, but it had to be either what I wrote about in the "letter to the editor" assignment or something vaguely political, and that's about as political as I get these days (short of writing Colbert Report specials that never happened, which I will hopefully get to sometime this week, Ningen; oh, and my Comp II teacher also says I should e-mail the man himself and tell him about this opportunity he missed). Anyway, anything anyone else wants to contribute on the matter would be A++. Also, haet having to write outlines :< I may just have to write a rough draft of the paper itself by Thursday and rip the outline from that, mumble grumble pout.
And that's about all I have for now. Will be going to watch alien frog things shortly :3b Want more characters soon.
Edit: Okay, okay, I cave! http://socchan.insanejournal.com/ Someone point me to where I can get all that nifty "move your entries to your new journal" stuff.

Date: 2007-09-12 02:44 am (UTC)Sure, no problem :3 I've already made a comment on how I managed her hair here, though the requester was planning to use a wig for her costume. I used a kimono to get a handle on the basic pattern (though remember that the panels go left-over-right, not right-over-left like I did ^^a) and just did regular - if baggy - sleeves and didn't sew the sides together up to about hip level.
Some of the costume elements depend on whether you're going as Season One Katara or Season Two Katara. For example, S1!Katara has close-fitting pants and a long-sleeved shirt under her kimono-thing. S2!Katara has baggy pants and wrist bands. The white trim on S1!Katara's collar remains a consistent length, while on S2!Katara's collar it widens/scoops around the throat. Whether or not you can see the top of her shoes also depends on which season - S1 yes, S2 no.
For the fuzzy trim bits, I used thick fuzzy felt, not fake fur, which I found both easy to work with and to have the right overall effect. The shoes were basic cloth shoes I bought and de-rubbered (harder than it sounds); I slit the soles of gray socks and sewed those over the top of these (why I removed the rubber - it's a bitch to hand-sew through rubber, did you know?). If you do go the sewing-socks-to-shoes route, I recommend backing the stitches up with hot glue, or, if at all possible, doing it with a machine; I learned the hard way that my pitiful stitches were not up to the task, especially at the heels.
I suggest buying the pants whichever season you go with, or if you plan to blend them, and the shirt as well if you go with S1; if you go with S2, I can give you tips for the wrist-wraps. And that's all I can think of at the moment, unless you want to borrow my prop idea ;)
