What are you wearing to the Anime Expo?

[akurah]

(cross-posted to hell and back)

I'm going to dress either EGL or EGA or as a retro-1950s type girl. And I'm going to wear lots of polka dots and a corset.

Now. Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to help me pick a corset and a durable polka dotted fabric I can order to send to the corset maker to custom make my corset. Either black and white, or *possibly* some other color (such as pink) and white. Preference is for black and white as of typing this.

These are the corsets I would be choosing from (http://www.puimond.com/html/corsets.html), however if you have a suggestion from another maker, don't hesitate to share it.

Right now I'm thinking an underbust corset and some manner of dress or a blouse and a skirt.

I would like the outfit to go with shoes like these (yes, these ARE stripper shoes, and trust me when I say stripper heels are far more comfortable than "normal" heels), my favorites are at the top and marked with a *:
Lucia Platform (http://www.hopestores.com/platforms23.html) / Lucia Sandal (no platform) (http://www.hopestores.com/lucsexsan.html) *
Mimi's 5 inch Pump (http://www.hopestores.com/mimis5inchpump.html) *
Babydoll Pumps (http://www.hopestores.com/babydollpumps.html)*
Amber Chunky Heel Oxford (http://www.hopestores.com/amchunheelox.html)
Eden High Heel Platform Pump (http://www.hopestores.com/edhiheplpu.html)
5 inch sandal with bow (http://www.hopestores.com/sandals6.html)


I plan to have a cherry red manicure and pedicure, with an equally cherry red lips. Eyes will probably be done in a very neutral beige with bold cat-eyes style liner (http://www.maq.com/makeup/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid= 134).


Oh. And your other mission is to post what you plan to go dressed as or whatever. ^.^

I intend to go to AX dressed only in a smile and a pair of shades. Can't help you with the corset thing, I don't really have an eye for that.

[Katie]

What am I wearing to AX, you ask? See the cosplay page of the AVA-AX Gathering website. ^^ Or, if you want some visual:

As for your corset? I like py11- long overbust... though I don't think any of those corsets will look very 50s retro. o_o Egl, yeah, but 50s? Unless there was some dominatrix movement in the era, the corsets just don't really fit... XD (Though I do LOVE polka dots! :) ) As for the shoes, I freaking ADORE those babydoll pumps. If you're going for 50s, get those. If you're leaning more toward EGL, then I'd probably say the Eden platforms.

I'm not tall enough for the long overbust.

So, Mary... how would you feel about adding AC Yuffie to your cosplay list? :3

[Velvy]

But that also depends on if Advent Children is released before Anime Expo, or at least some full-body pictures of Yuffie so we can get a clear view of her outfit at last. XD

Here's some shots for ya Mary since I won't be around this weekend to IM you with them:

I know these are vague, but it gives you an idea at least...

[alessa]

Heh. Thanks, Velvy.


Maybe I'll cosply AC Yuffie, too...if I have enough time after I finish my other ones.

[Matt Cruea]

God, I'm wearing NORMAL PEOPLE CLOTHES, you fucking freaks!

[Yami no Kitsune]

Define normal...

[Matt Cruea]

Well, definitely a shirt, and MAYBE some pants.

[akurah]

Well, definitely a shirt, and MAYBE some pants.

I'll give you 10 bucks if you wear a skirt. 5 for a skort.

[Katie]

NORMAL PEOPLE CLOTHES

Well, Matt, this IS an anime convention. Where it's practically normal to wear a costume. That'd be like calling us freaks for wearing costumes on Halloween. So theeeeere.

[Matt Cruea]

Oh no, you guys are definitely still freaks.

[Sadsiren]

Oh no, you guys are definitely still freaks.

So says the man due to wear a skirt. :roll:

[Matt Cruea]

Well, I call it a skirt.

[Katie]

Oh, come on. You better not be lame and wrap a piece of fabric around you and call it a skirt. Oh, noes. A kilt I could accept, but I'm really hoping for Matt in some pleated, pink little number.

[TESM]

i'm gonna dress up as a transformer cop from detroit who goes into the future and kills things with a shovel!

or halo.

or in reality, i won't go because of

money
embarassment(?)
location.
skirts on men.

[alessa]

Well, definitely a shirt, and MAYBE some pants.

XD. Oh I'm looking foward to this.

[Klaymen1]

Yes a Yuffie would be awesome! *find references*

Finding AC stuff that Velvy doesn't have is hard ._.

[Lucien]

I'll be wearing my usual attire as well.....except if Katie and Velvy need me for their 'little number.' But even in that scenario, that wouldn't be for the whole con :lol:

[Yami no Kitsune]

A kilt is not a skirt!! ¬_¬

I never said it was. I merely would accept it due to the fact that men wear them COMMANDOOO. ...Not that Matt should get any ideas, of course.

[Yami no Kitsune]

Not pleasant imagery there... Matt Cruea going comando... I think I'm gonna bathe my brain. o.O

[Matt Cruea]

Yes, most mortals would have their entire skulls explode at the mere thought of something so glorious, so I suppose you should feel lucky.

[Yami no Kitsune]

:P

Go with the pink skirt!

[White Rose Assassin]

Hm...as far as cosplay goes...this is what I have debuting by far:

- Miss Hinako (Ranma 1/2)
- Mitsuko Sohma (Battle Royale)
- Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop)

If you're prettier than Man Faye, that's not hard.

So I guess I could pull off a Faye.

'cause Man-Faye is a disgusting mongoloid!

[Margo]

Well, definitely a shirt, and MAYBE some pants.

Who says there won't be cosplayers in a shirt and pants? :p

[White Rose Assassin]

Hm...maybe cheerleader Faye from...no...not going to spoil people, but cheerleader Faye. No one has ever done her. ^.~

[Shenotski]

Since this is ax cosplay related. I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a masquerade skit. E-mail me if interesed.
