Anyone know where I can find a cheap but sturdy parasol/umbrella type thing I could use as a base? I'm planning on painting over it but I want it to look kinda like my reference and yet sturdy enough so that I can add the other part(tongue). Help would be much appreciated~!

K-K-KOGASA <3 I'm not really sure where you would find a nice umbrella/parasol for this (I would always check ebay first and foremost 8D), but for the tongue, I've seen other cosplayers just make a lightweight stuffed tongue and stick it onto the parasol. I don't think the parasol would need to be incredibly strong to support the tongue if you went that route.

I've had good luck finding the paper parasols up at Finnegans by the downtown Portland library in the past. The smaller of the two stores there had them not too long ago.

I saw some bangasa (Japanese umbrella) @ uwajimaiya in the accessories section a few months ago. They might still have them.
Good luck!
