OTAKU PROMISE BET 2003
This page is reserved to help preserve memories. This was the cause of my cosplaying today! It originally debuted on my little cosplay section "Ghetto Cosplay Page" on my first Fan Site "Anime Fans Unite!" Unfortunately, there are no photos, so sorry. Oh and btw, just to let you know, this was done during my 8th grade term. Maybe I will undust the photo albums in my living room and find some pics from this "joyous" event lol. Oh and did I mention this is where I introduced Dance Dance Revolution to my merry companions whom I call friends? Lolz. Well, I hope you enjoy ^_^
Ok I will tell you briefly what exactly this is. I think you should read this b4 anything on this section because I refer to it a lot. What this basically translates to is "An Anime Lover's Promise" Bet. So a bunch of my friends that love anime decided to make a promise, or bet, whatever.. We said we would all dress up as an anime char for Halloween. The catch: we have to do it in school, with non-anime lovers and teachers. So I will give you list of who is in and what they are going to be ^_^ So I will update this on Halloween so check out the results! See how my friends and I did our costumes and what not. Don't worry though, I will link up the main costume page with it if you are too lazy to come back here ^_^ As you can see we are all crazy about anime and want to see how many people we can scare, who will recognize us and to parade around as our favorite characters! So I guess that is the concept of Cosplay. Here is the original e-mail invite about the bet I sent out on the first of August. Well I guess I shall see you all on October 31, 2003!

Also, her school banned costumes on Halloween Day (how weird O__o). It's okie, she couldn't wear it for Halloween 2003, but we will find a use for it (possibly an anime fest anyone?)! But here is what we got so far! Costume Description: Top: Hmm she didn't make it yet, but well see eventually.... Skirt: She got help from here mom to make a traditional green fuku pleated skirt, YAY! It's so accurate, and she can even wear it whenever she wants. Shoes: I think she will either wear her old uniform shoes or get penny loafters. Socks: White knee highs, nuff said ^_~ Necklace: Hmm the jewel shards I'm guessing that she doesn't have it for now. I think she's gonna paint a marble with pink nail polish and put it on a change. Taaa-daaa! Hair: All she's gotta do is wear it down! She already got the black hair ^_^ Just need to comb it super staight! Bow and Arrow: Tee hee suction cup arrows BWHAHAHAHAHA! Available at your local $.99 Store :-D |
trying to kick my friend Joshua (Parasite Dragoon) who dressed up as "Dark" Cloud and then...well let's just say she had to go home and change before we went to the party afterschool. Yea that's how tight they were... Belt: Her mom got her beaded belts -___- So she had a black beaded belt and a brown leather tassle belt instead of two identical leather belts. SOOOOO she wore the black one and used the brown one as a whip cuz we couldnt bring fake weapons to school. Gloves and Golden Claw: Used long black gloves, but no claw. Don't blame her she had to do a face painting booth at the fair thing. Don't wanna scratch the kids faces off ! Boots: Unfortunately her sister took the boots last minute. Wow this just ain't her day....Anyways, she just wore black sneakers (that looked like Yuffie's!) Necklace: Yea I know the char doesn't have one, but it IS an original design ^_^ she just has a cross necklace which she still wears. She said it had a gothic feel. LoLz. Hair: Bought a cruddy wig from Party City. When she tried to cut it, but it ended up balding...yep that's what happened |
THANK GAWD HE WAS NOT IN CHARACTER (this means he didn't act like the character he dressed up as, Miroku so no perverted girl groping here). Here's the jist of Kyle's creation. Top: Let's see, lots of layers....There was the black kimono and purple, shiny sash and well that was the entire costume ^_^;;;; Pants: Dude, Vash was smart, he wore jeans underneath so he didn't have to be cold or wear the costume all day Sandals: He wore sneakers! I think me and Parasite Dragon were the only ppl with boots -___- Necklace and Earrings: Yes he did get gold stuff for this costume. He had clip earrings, but later they started to hurt so he put it on the necklace. What necklace you ask? The one for his hand! Heh he even drew a hole on his hand now that I think about it... Hair: Ilmao! Well I've gotta admit, he did the hair style pretty well. I think he used hair glue cuz his bangs were really hard... Staff: Made a staff...dunno how...dun't even kno how he got to keep it as school...I think he took a broom stick, some wire for the top design, stuck it together, and spray painted it gold like crazy! |
Belt: Leather double hole belt. I actually think he wears this to school. Geez, so much for following the school dress code and uniform policy.... Gloves: Black gloves and leather wrist bands. Really cool and they did protect his hands from the frisbees at his booth ^_^Boots: Accurate black boots, but I think they gave him a blister.... Hair: Spiked it as usual. Later on though he sprayed it blonde. WAAAAAAAAAAY cool! Armor: I dunno, he spray painted some soft pad and velcroed it to his shirt. Very nice! Sword: Brought in a wooden sword...Dunno how he got to keep it in school?!?! Not fair, the Prinicipal said no weapons, not even fake ones! |
