I ATTEND COSPLAY CONVENTIONS ^__~


by Nathaniel Hawthorne, author and anime fan




Here's Me ( ^_^;; ) At The Last Convention That I Went To It Was At A Marriot Hotel In Boston, It Is Me Dressed As Inu Yasha:

I Do Look Stunning With My Sword, Don't I ^_~

I Suuppose Yuo All Want To No How I Cratfed My Costume, Which BWT, Won Me Second Place OverAll Best In Show At The BridgePort Conneticut Cosplay Con 2003 ^_~

First, The Sword. The Sword, As You Probably Know, Is Made Out Of CardBoard. It Was My Third Attempt, The First Sword Was Too Straight And The Second One I Made Looked Like A Christmas Candy Cane LOL. I Painted It With Silver Paint And Then Sprayed It With Adhesive And Sprinkled Some Glitter On It To Make It Sparkle. The Handle Of Inu Yasha's Sword, As You Know From Watching The Show, Has Some Furry Stuff {WTF Is That Stuff LOL ^_^ } Which I Used Balled Up Cotton For. And For The Handle I Used A Cheap Plastic Sword From A Halloween Costume Store Painted The Same Silver As The Sword With White Gauze Bandages Wrapped Around it.

The Sword Sheath Was Also From This Fake Sword, Although It Was Only For Decoration, Because As You Know, Inu Yasha's Sword {Which Is Called Tetsaiga ^_~ ) Is Normal Sized And Looks All Dirty adn Old But When He Uses It It Becomes Huge and Cool, So Obviously My Sword Wouldnt Fit In Their LOLOL

The Costume Was Easy, Because All I Had To Do Was Have My Mom Do Some Alterations On The Red Coat I Used When I Cosplayed As Vash The Stampede, From My Favorite Anime "Vash The Stampede." I Would Have Done It, But I Don't No How To Sew LOL

For The Hair, I Used A Silver Wig I Found At The Costume STore. It Said It Was A Glam Rock Star Wig, And The Tag Said "Impress Your Friends By Dressing Up As Gary Glitter!" But WFT I Dont' Know Who Gary Glitter Is Am I Right Or What LOL >_<;; Then I Just Glued Some Cat Ears From A Dress Up Like A Cat Costume I Bought To The Top And Thats How I Became Inu Yasha!!

Next Year I Am Going To Cosplay As Sailor Moon lOLOLOL Wont That Be Funny?!?
