Yui - Shopping woo!
I'm not going to last a week with this going on, admittedly.

Every night is almost just like every other night ever since (first in a gap of months, then every few weeks, then every other day; but not everyday, I like to think I'm a little stronger than that). My head is fine but everything else is not; its kind of frustrating. My eyes are suffering the most expense. I need my glasses again to concentrate in class, but unfortunately they're a tad bit lost and I don't know if I should spend the rest of my early morning looking for them.


It just makes me sad that in the entirety of it all---

--nevermind.

What do I say now?

Anyway, I'm sure my flist is tired of hearing me emo ;____; sorry guys, but ILU all just so you know, and thank you very much. It means a lot, even just the small comment of "hug!" and things like that. :3 Thank you! I'll do my best not to make these kinds of posts, er, in the very near future.

Just, thank you.

:3

Uho!

I know I've asked so much from you guys, but if you all wouldn't mind, I need srs cosplay help. I'm going to cosplay Shirley Fenette from Code Geass with a group (composing of the usual people I <3).

I ordered a wig MONTHS ago but the wig place said it got delayed, then a few months after that they said it never got shipped, then after pestering them some more with my customer rights they said the wig never existed, and so I should just opt for a refund. Wtfudge, right? Anyway, I still love that wig place but I'll never order from them again; they're much better off selling what's on display.

So!

I need a Shirley wig. D: I know should've ordered online months ago but if the wig that I originally ordered came I would've been forced to pay for it, and I didn't want to waste money on buying two wigs for the same character. I have a few choices (from ebay!) already, though; and I've asked some of my friends for help and opinions. But, after seeing some Shirley cosplayers online my mind got confused again.

Ufuuu, help please?

Wig Choices:
1. Pumpkin Orange
2. Copper Brown
3. Copper Brown 2

Some Shirley Reference Images:
1. 01
2. 02
3. 03
4. 04

I know choice 3 is pretty far off from Shirley's hair color but a lot of Shirley cosplayers seem to be using that kind of wig, and some of them looked pretty good. And choice 1 has curls but lol the color was close to one reference image I had; and also, the curls do kind of look pretty. *o* /random shiny distraction

If you have other wig suggestions than the ones I found I'd love to see them, too.

Uhuhu I'm really sorry for taking up your time, but thank you, everyone!

Due to the lack of a Shirley wig I had to cosplay Milly Ashford instead during our org's con last November 8, 2008: AME 8TH AVENUE: Taking the Streets of Harajuku. I must mention that this "Plan B" could not have been accomplished without [info]avishi's assistance, as it was she who lent me the wig. THANK YOU SO MUCH, dear~


That's not me with the menu, a pen, and an AME 8th Avenue band on my left arm. Of course not.
pic (c) [info]sm16; wig is [info]avishi's


Okay, I look gay and yes I am a fail! Milly but a-at least it was fun?

My post was at the AME 8th Avenue Cafe (aka the best cafe in the world lol) and our theme was Code Geass, thus the need for epic costumes. We had a Lelouch ([info]wuzu), a Suzaku another Lelouch/or maybe a Rivalz ([info]alabapoy) and an Anya ([info]sappherine). We were also supposed to have a C.C ([info]kyoy) but due to epic wig problems (wig problems are a plague, I swear), Kyoy had to postpone her C.C cosplay for another time, so she joined Nigel, Ana-pon and Neil in becoming sexy Harajuku waiters/waitresses.


In any case, I'll post more pictures soon! (I always seem to say that D: so far I lack Mangaholixxx Pictures, OtakonEK pictures, and now this.) I'll try to do them all at one post.

Really,

thanks so much.

I GO WITH WIG NUMBAH THREE. (Because if you're not satisfied, you can cut it to your desired length.

I could've posted our picture together in AME, but I'm afraid I have no skills for photoshop. Or you'll see all the food my sisters ate in AME

You look so good in the pic! I could just see Milly in a pose like that.

As for what to get for a wig, not sure myself. I'm still trying to decide on a wig to buy for my Lufia & the Fortress of Doom cosplay next year (I'm going as the titular character, a sorceress who loves cooking, being with her true love and guilt tripping him when he makes her mad). I swear, Halloween wigs were all too mellow this year, no crazy RPG/Anime colors whatsoever.

Pick 01! Cosplaywig has a very good reputation for online wigs, and the curls would be interesting~ you could always trim them down.

And aaww, I hope you feel better soon!

Milly = lesbo = gay = tiff.

i go for choice 1 because shirley has wavy hair... or semi-wavy hair.

...did-did you get the chance see the Tuxedo Team? :D
13th-Nov-2008 10:35 am (UTC)
Buuut yeah, I go for wig numbuh THREE!

I have an image of you waving a picket sign about and being all *valiant* and *righteously indignant*. AND, if the wig didn't exist in the first place, why would you pay for it? By offering you a refund they're admitting they sold you the wig in the first place. Ano ka, tanga? Tanga sila! :))

Ima sorry I didn't make it to AME 8TH AVE! (sayang, 'cause I live on 8th Ave, IN REAL LIFE AHAHAHAHA). *faily faily failboatness*

WHY ARE YOU BEING EMO? WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS? WHEN I GET A FREE DAY, I WILL HAUNT YOUR TAMBAY PLACES.

Wig-wize, I think you should go with number three. One seems too bright? And two, I think it would do too 'cause it's wavy and shite already. (The third Shirley picture looks super-dynamic though-- nice flying pose!)

Picture-wise, you look smug and blonde and taray and cute in the picture. If you were really like that in real life, I would want to squish you but would be scared to. AHAHAHAHA. o_O

I'd actually have to vote for wig number three too, even if it does look funky or sorts. Is it me or is it a bit too long? owel. trimming it will always help, but make sure you think about trimming it down properly; wigs don't exactly grow back~

may nag-cosplay ng Anya sa inyo?? WHERE?? I'm planning on cosplaying Anya for this summer, but I think I have to attend summer classes next year. huhuhuhu...we'll see nalang.

*goes off to stalk random AME person cosplaying Anya*

btw, I hope you feel better already! *ubertighthugsforyou* XD
