Do any of you go to any of the conventions? So far I have been to three. They're so much fun! ;D The expensive admission fee is so worth it.  I was just at AnimeNext yesterday and there was a great turnout. I have never cosplayed either but it looks like so much fun! I just have no idea how to sew and think it would be more accomplishing if I made a costume rather than if I bought one. Btw, if you need Sailor Moon boots for cosplay www.catzia.com/ has the most amazing and realistic looking boots EVER. I kid you not. I saw them in person. High quality stuff. (These are the Wonder Woman ones they make. Check the ebay store: stores.ebay.com/Catzias-Collectibles ) I've been to NY Comic Con, Manga Next & Anime Next. |

What did you cosplay as?
I've always wanted to be a Sailor scout or Kairi from KH with that cute zippery pink costume.

I've only ever been to one convention once. Manifest.
I've seen so many pictures of people cosplaying in the past and so now I really really want to try!! It's just, like you Carly, I can't sew! And I don't think my mum would approve of me buying material and trying to make costumes. (she'd probably think I was weird and wasting money.. )

I usually go to either AWA or Dragon*Con. When I cosplay, it's usually as Tasuki (Fushigi Yuugi) or Kyo (Fruits Basket). Never did a Sailor Moon-based cosplay, but there have been rumors of me chasing cute Sailor Mars cosplayers around the hotel in the past...  |

I was going to cosplay as Kairi in her pink zippery outfit or her school uniform at Kumori Con! I just dyed my hair and it's the same color so I was like "Hey! why not!" I've cosplayed as: Nana from Animal Magnetisim (a squirrel girl...) Selphie from FFVIII I want to cosplay as: Hinamori Momo from Bleach Kairi from KH2 saddly no good pictures around right now of any of those costumes (actually, I know where a Selphie one is I just have to get it... and I know where I can find the nana one but I'm not going to get it) |

My first con was Shoujocon in NJ, before it moved to upstate NY and died XD
My first Otakon was '05, and hopefully I'll be able to make just the Saturday this year ._.

Akiko, that Kairi costume is amazing but I have no idea how to make it. I really want to make the keyblade. Just having that makes me feel powerful. xD Mia, your school has a con? |

Saying that having the keyblade makes you feel powerful is pretty much how I'd feel with any part of a costume or weapon!! Like, can you imagine dressed up with the weapons? It would feel good!! lol. ><
