Cosplay Help

[redbrunja]

The situation:

My room is a disaster area, I have a million emails to answer and I open tomorrow. Upside, I finally have the chance to run errands. Downside, I have an hour to get everything organized for said errands tomorrow.

So, flist, your mission, should you choose to accept it.....

Link me to pictures of Karrin, with good images of her outfit. (I'm thinking she's a good candidate for thrift store cosplay.)

Also, does Rin from Black Cat have one, distinctive outfit, or it her recognizable piece of attire her heart necklace?

Does anyone know how to get good glasses that look like prescription but aren't? For reasonable prices?

Does anyone know of other red heads in anime? (Besides Gojyo)

Speaking of everyone's favorite kappa, does anyone have hints on where I can find leather/fake leather pants and coats should the thrift store fail me?

Ah, those look like a pretty basic cat-eye frame in plastic. You can quite probably find cheap reading glasses in a drugstore with much that shape -- just get the weakest prescription they have and look over them as much as possible. Or check eBay for cheap used pairs.

Redheads other than the kappa, preferably female? Well, hmmm, Rei from Dirty Pair, girl-form Ranma from Ranma 1/2, Yoko from 12 Kingdoms/Juuni Kokki, Ed from Cowboy Bebop, Aya from Weiss Kreusz (male, but girly-pretty), Touga from Revolutionary Girl Utena (ditto), Juri from the same series (drawn with orange hair, which I would tend to parse as a light red/strawberry blonde sort of shade on a real live human), Queen Beryl from Sailor Moon, Lina Inverse from Slayers, Ahiru from Princess Tutu, Ayame from Inuyasha, Houlan from Saiyuki Requiem and that other hanyou chick, whatsherface from Gunlock (great simple outfit!)...TV Tropes is bound to get you a ton more likely names.

And if you don't mind asking around, that'd be cool -- I'm sure you know a lot more active cosplayers than me. :)

Oh, good ideas. And I had no idea that there were so many redheads. And I'd forgotten all the chick hanyous.

And I posted a query about the liquid latex. Hopefully someone will bite.

Oh, there's bound to be tons more -- I just went with a bunch from series that I've followed myself or were big faves of friends. Hunt through TV Tropes or Wikipedia or something and I'm sure you'll find squillions more characters.

And thanks! *crosses fingers*

Also, I got your gift AND OH MY GOD! Both my mother and I were reading that porn for women and laughing hysterically. I adore that lip balm, and those stickers? So true. So very, very true.

*squishes you insanely hard*

Bwa-ha-ha! I saw that in a stationery store a couple of months ago and thought "oh man, I need to get this for Red the next time a birthday or holiday rolls around". With your domestic-Hakkai fetish, I thought it would be a source of much glee. Glad to see I called that one right. XD

Yes. Especially considering where I'm working now.
