So AnimeNEXT is coming up very soon! I recently ordered my FFX-2 Gunner Yuna. I intentionally wanted the wig to be different from my FFX Yuna wig. So I opted for a darker brown.

The wig ended up being slightly darker than the image. But you can tell it’s not black and under the  light, it’s lighter. It has nice highlights like my FFX Yuna wig, which I did enjoy.

And it was a lot longer than I thought it would be, which isn’t that big of an issue.

I’ll take another picture when it’s less icky/rainy outside.

Rating: ★★★★☆/ 4.5 out of 5.

Pros:
– Very fast shipping.
– Soft fibers.

Cons:
–  No tracking number.
– Not heat resistent.

Price: 22.99$ + free shipping.
Item Location: China.
Time for Arrival: 9 days.

Would I order from them again? Yes.

If you wish to purchase this wig, search “J·C New Fashion Dark Brown Staright Women’s Full WIG,” or search in peaceoftheworld2010’s ebay profile.

Err.. Skipping cosplays haha. I haven’t been able to work on a lot of stuff recently because I underestimated the intensity of some of my classes. They aren’t difficult. They are just time consuming. I’m currently stuck on design homework, so I’m updating this blog.

Updating once every 2 weeks seems too little.. But we shall see what happens. My cosplay plans for 2011 are changing once again, so when the new year begins, I’ll update it.. again.. haha. I have another surprise, but I’ll announce it once it’s confirmed ^^

In other news. I’m not sure if you know of Hiyoko-chan/Teeny from TotallyToasty, the girl from my previous posts with the awesome FFX Yuna tutorial. Well. I sincerely look up to her for her cosplaying, and the other day she said she was selling some of her cosplay things on deviantArt. One of the things she was selling that caught my interest was her FFX-2 Gunner Yuna Tiny Bee Guns seen in the image on the right.

I do plan on cosplaying as her one day.. I also didn’t want to have to go through the trouble of making prop guns. And Hiyoko-chan’s craftsmanship is pretty high quality. Had to seize the opportunity ^^

I’m going to revamp them a little bit. There are just slight smears in some places and I want to fix the lettering on the guns. Nothing too serious haha. This way I can feel a slight sense of accomplishment.. ^^

A Cosplay Change..

Changing my last cosplay again.. I was originally going to be Rikku in her songstress dressphere from FFX-2 since my mother REALLY didn’t want me to do her thief dressphere because it’s too revealing.

But! I was looking at the wigs since I need one for her and Kurama.. and.. I realized that.. wigs cost a lot xD And since I’m a perfectionist, I would want it to be a good quality wig. Both those wigs were about $30 each, so about $60 for wigs.. and I don’t have that kind of money..

And I hate using my parent’s money all the time. Certain things I will, like fabric costs, but I can’t make them pay for everything right? Soo.. I’ve decided to sacrifice the Rikku cosplay D; I’ll cosplay as her in the future when I have more money for her wig :]

So.. back to my search for another cosplay! I wanted one that I could just keep my hair color, unless I could find another one with red hair. I suck at thinking of cosplays.. Until I discovered the greatest website in the world..

Anime Character Database.com

This has got to be the greatest website in the world! It’s funny because my roomie and I were talking about how amazing it would be if there was a website where you could just type in eye color, hair color, etc. and it would generate anime characters for you!

AND HERE IT IS!!! Ahh I was so excited hahahaa.

So on this website, you can search up to 3 different eye color, hair color, hair length, age, gender etc. And it’ll generate it for you! You can even set character preferences like if you want the character to be from anime, video games, etc!

I came up with like.. 8-9 possible characters I’d cosplay as. It came down toooo..

So from the top row, left to right! Haku from Naruto, Chen from Touhou Project, Tohru Honda from Fruits Baskets, Xiang Hua from Soul Calibur. Now bottom row! Xiang Hua from Soul Calibur II, Lacrimosa from Lagrima, Seung Mina from Soul Calibur, and Tifa Lockhart from Advent Children!

I really want to cosplay as Tifa when I saw her as a choice. Definitely not her VII version since.. I don’t have.. the “body type” if you know what I mean.. But she has such a womanly face, and my face.. let’s just say sometimes I look younger than I should be xD But she’s sooo pretty!

I love Lacrimosa’s outfit.. I’ve never heard of the .. omg.. OMG.. Never mind I’m not cosplaying as her anymore.. I was confused that I couldn’t google anything on it.. until I looked on the database site and it says that Lagrima is a.. dirty game.. D; Oh my goodness, that was an epic fail. Like I completely just epic failed.

But yeah.. I’ll probably end up being a Soul Calibur character or Tifa. The idea of Haku tempts me because I’ve wanted to cosplay as him for a long time.. xD

When I work on it during the summer I will definitely upload pictures! ^^

I need to begin updating more often.. The school year is almost over! It passed so quickly, only 3 more weeks left, then finals and summer! Haven’t made a tutorial in a while now @___@ I have the horrible habit of picking at my nails. They were nice and long and now they are short again ><

Cosplay Update

I will be going to AnimeNext! And cosplaying of course! I’m not sure if I’ll be getting a table yet, but hopefully I do! ^^ So the cosplay plan is;

  • Friday: Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho, and my friend’s boyfriend will be cosplaying as Hiei.
  • Saturday: Pichu from Pokemon, my roomie and her best friend are Plusle and Minun, my friend and her boyfriend (the same one cosplaying as Hiei) are cosplaying as Raichu and Pikachu respectively.
  • Sunday: This one is up in the air. It’s either Maka from Soul Eater or Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2. Maka is easy to do since I have a similar skirt and Rikku.. I like her hair xD But my mom wasn’t too keen on the idea because she wears a bikini top.

I will be making my own cosplays! Well.. with the help of my mom xD She said it’s practice since I’m going into Fashion Design in the fall. I’m going to use that as an excuse for her to let me cosplay as Rikku.. xD Hopefully, if I can, I want to join the Hall Cosplay Contest. I want to do one for Friday and one for Saturday, but then I can’t use the Maka cosplay since most of the stuff won’t be made..

School Update

I will be attending Philadelphia University next year for fashion design! I’m excited ^^ If I can, I’m going to take classes during the summer at FIT. Hmm.. I think that’s it for this section 😛

Blog Life – Youtube

Ahh slacking off here.. Need to work on this more often!

Hobby Life

So I’ve been working on charms for some time now. Haven’t been working on nail art as much as I’d like to, but ahh school work.. x____x If you want to check out what I’ve made, go to my deviantart! Hopefully I can sell them at conventions. I originally wanted to sell them online, but that’s kind of shaky at the moment.. But if anyone wants a commission, send me a message! ^^
