Small Update~

About cosplay, what else?

Started work on my next three cosplays... I printed out my reference pictures! That's a start!

I also ordered my first pair of coloured circle lenses (Dolly Eye Brown). Both the website and lenses are pretty well recommended on Cosplay.com, and a lot of the reviews for the lenses complain about how yellow they are

Thiiiis close to ordering my contacts online, literally visited 5 optometrist and none of them can prescribe me contacts with a wide range of colours that are strong and actually stand out :( Let us know if these ones turn out cool!

[sefieslj]

Yes! I've researched circle lenses for a pretty long time now (back when I first cosplayed Ginger Bread!), so I'm pretty confident about these guys. I've already gotten shipping confirmation for them, so they should be here in a couple of weeks. I just hope I don't look too bug-eyed D: Though... bug-eyed will work for Shadow!Naoto, but not Mythos. Yeek.

Contacts? My excuse for not wearing them is that I don't want an extra lens between me and the viewfinder, but in truth I'm just afraid of them. But they look really good on others!

Other characters that have yellow eyes? C.C., my favourite character from Code Geass, has dark amber eyes that I think look exactly that colour. (This is a show that is very difficult to find non-spoilerous links for!) As my favourite anime, I am extremely eager to supply interested persons with episodes either digitally or DVDally, so let me know if you want to watch some to see if it is for you. Incidentally, C.C. has more than the two outfits I linked to, but, y'know, spoilers...

I'd love to watch Code Geass! :D

Can I supplied with digital episodes? (I'm afraid I'd forgot/lose/break your DVD's ;_;)

[ianiceboy]

If you did forget/lose/break my DVDs, it would give me an excuse to buy new ones. Yay, new ones to support the franchise!

As far as digital goes, I could get you a USB flash drive with the episodes in .mkv format on it-we could either meet one lunchtime in the city or I could mail it. Or I could provide a link, but that wouldn't feel particularly helpful of me. Likewise on the transmission method of DVDs, should you change mind. (Though only the first half are released on DVD, and obviously the link option isn't available for a physical object.)

[isikenai]

Hmmhmm!

Well, we just upgraded our internet plan and now have an 80GB download limit :D Hit me with the link!

I seriously cannot wait to see your Mytho cosplay, but I have to ask, is there some sort of Princess Tutu group going on?

You'll have fun with the contact lenses. I loved the ones I had on at Manifest <3

[sefieslj]

There iiiiiis, in an informal sort of way. It's a very badly kept secret. If you guys want to re-wear your cosplays with us, that would be awesome! :DDDD

[rose_papillon]

Oh really :O
You know, maybe I will. I would like to go back over my Princess Tutu costume anyway, maybe even buy another wig and get some blue contact lenses. Maybe even some fake eyelashes.
Speaking of which, I'm looking at the contact lenses site you linked to now. Thinking of getting some green ones for a CCS cosplay I'm planning, only, I wonder if anyone would notice...

Oh say, what other characters do you have in your Princess Tutu group already?

[sefieslj]

As far as I know, me, Ahiru and Rue. But repeat characters are totally welcome!

[isikenai]

Which Mythos are you doing? Prince Mythos, Raven Mythos, Pantsless Mythos or Dance-class Mythos??

[sefieslj]

P-pantsless Mythos...!? O.O;;; actually, now I think about it, there is one on Cosplay.com, but I thought that was just crack cosplay.

I'm doing Prince Mythos. The other versions look too much like Near from Death Note.

[rose_papillon]

No, he's pantless alright. A lot.

[sefieslj]

I-i just watched the first episode. That'll teach me to pick characters without watching the series first

[sefieslj]

Maybe I'll wear them to work to freak the normal people out :D
