I very tentatively think I might want to try cosplaying America from Hetalia at Nekocon this year, if only because I think bomber jackets are the bee's knees. Also, I already have glasses and so does he. So I have a few questions to put out to you, my adoring public

1. HOORAY FOR THRIFT STORE ADVENTURES 8D

2. Excellent. I'll see what I can dig up between now and November.

3. The star is pretty basic, so I'd be surprised if we can't get something reasonably close.

4. I've always heard from folks that trying to spray-dye dark hair a lighter color doesn't really work, so we might end up having to bleach me blonde and then dye it back on Sunday.

And damn this area and its lack of army surplus stores. That's definitely my cheapest way of finding an appropriate jacket, as buying one new or on eBay would likely cost me well over $100. Maybe I can get my mom on the case - there are a lot of those kinds of stores back home.

It is a slow day at work, can you tell?

I just checked out Ebay, and yeah, they're pretty pricey. Also most bomber jackets come in dark brown with beige fur, not brown with black. :\

We could look into these places?

While I am only passingly familiar with Hetalia, I can honestly say that this IS THE BEST IDEA EVER.
