I'm surprised that no one has made this topic yet.

Photoshoot:
Day 1: 4pm. At the Gazibo.

The Dollars were originally created by Mikado Ryuugamine as a joke, but later he discovers that the organization grows far beyond his original plan. All of the original founders were frightened of it and deserted the project, except for Mikado. As the gang became more popular, people began using their name in order to commit crimes and do wrong. Despite this, Mikado suggested that members started doing deeds around the city, as a result these actions where displayed on television(news). Invitations into The Dollars ceased, as Mikado decided to stop, but the gang continued to grow relentlessly as a result of Izaya Orihara continuing to send out invitations. Rumors began to spread about the Dollars, profiling them as one of the most mysterious and potentially dangerous gangs in the city.

Whose going?

You've got a Shizuo Heiwajima right here! I have plans to assemble my cosplay before next year's con, and possibly even have it ready to test out at Sakuracon!

...Sure were a lot of Shizuos this year, though.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #2 on:** October 18, 2011, 04:14:58 pm »

and like no Sakis.
I'm doing saki this year

hawk222 · « **Reply #3 on:** October 18, 2011, 11:01:28 pm »

...I think I saw her in the 2nd opening? I haven't finished the series yet, and can only really watch it when it's on Adult Swim on Sunday at 12:30am. Though it looks like she has ties to both Masaomi and Izaya? Could be interesting...

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #4 on:** October 19, 2011, 03:40:13 pm »

SPOLIER: Saki is Masaomis girlfriend. Legit girlfriend and she idolizes Izaya Orihara.

OokamiYami · « **Reply #5 on:** November 01, 2011, 10:46:14 pm »

My brother might cosplay Masaomi Kida, but he's not sure yet and I MIGHT do Kasuka Heiwajima. :O

Do it~

hawk222 · « **Reply #7 on:** November 03, 2011, 03:58:07 pm »

Yeah! If you do that, then I can act all ashamed around you and try to avoid you! (Note: if their relationship becomes less awkward by the end of the series/season, don't let me know; spoilers and all that)

Ookami should i put you down as a maybe?

OokamiYami · « **Reply #9 on:** November 04, 2011, 11:58:26 pm »

Yeah, put me down as a maybe. Same with my bro as well.

im going to Peacock as many people as possible with a troll face mask (and be accompanied by my Shizzy-kun)

I missed it, but what exactly is peacock?
I might do Erica and my friend may be Walker.

Peacocking is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYVa3UxaKG4
it happened to a friend of mine this year and i thought it was a funny
thats cool~ i was going to be Celty and once i saw what the outfit looked like..i felt like the awkward penguin

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #15 on:** December 03, 2011, 11:55:04 am »

I don't have youtube! D:

hawk222 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 03, 2011, 09:02:32 pm »

Explanation to the rescue! Basically, the group asks if they can take a picture with a cosplayer, but they're actually filming, and right around the time you'd normally take the picture, the people from the group start dancing! It totally surprises the cosplayer!

@CosplayGeek4: Why "awkward?"

Heh, better than me: I'm a dude.

CosplayGeek4 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 04, 2011, 08:15:05 am »

well, it would be funny to see a male Celty XD

Lady In Red · « **Reply #21 on:** December 04, 2011, 10:34:37 pm »

I was planning to cosplay Celty at kcon 2013, but not 2012, sadly.

hawk222 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 04, 2011, 10:59:52 pm »

If anyone cosplays as Celty, would it be appropriate for them to communicate only by using a cell phone?

Lady In Red · « **Reply #23 on:** December 05, 2011, 04:19:10 pm »

That's actually something my friends and I have been talking about. Because I talk a lot, that'd be sooo tough for me to do, and since I don't have a cell phone, it's even more difficult haha. When I do go as Celty in 2013, I'm going to bring a notepad, though. : )

So, I suppose if they are really dedicated, then yes it would be appropriate. It's up to the cosplayer I suppose.

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #24 on:** December 13, 2011, 09:08:25 am »

Well I still have my Izaya cosplay from last year and I ordered a wig (used my hair last time) for my Luffy cosplay which is exactly Izaya's hair, so I could always pull him off. That's just less wigs I have to buy. Though I'd probably only do it if I could get a Shizuo.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #25 on:** December 13, 2011, 07:24:07 pm »

My friend is doing Shizuo, and wants me to be Anri. The costume is $76.

hawk222 · « **Reply #26 on:** December 13, 2011, 10:02:23 pm »

I'm also cosplaying Shizuo! But I don't know if my girlfriend will have any problems with me "having an Izaya." Of course, maybe "attacking an Izaya" would be more acceptable?

Also, check this out: Durarara!! chat!

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #27 on:** December 13, 2011, 10:30:52 pm »

Of course, especially if we have a meet-up or something along those lines. My boyfriend is pretty upset that I only ever cosplay boy characters.

Anyways, if all goes well I'm planning to maybe go as Izaya, oh and I see SOMEONE is going as the Organization as well.

I knew the link though, but yeah. I also go on;

I'm really liking the way this chatroom can be utilized! If anyone from this forum ever wants to chat there, just make a room called "Kcon," or something like that. I'll be looking for people to talk to during work, after all.

Anyway, to keep this post related to the actual topic: who do you think I could commission a street sign from? I doubt I'll have the time (or the skill) to make one myself.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #32 on:** December 16, 2011, 05:51:05 pm »

whats your screen name?

I'm looking for the chance to get a saika blade. I dont know if I want to

- pull her out of my hand.
- have her at my side.
- or have her coming out of my hand blade first (like the OVA)

hawk222 · « **Reply #33 on:** December 16, 2011, 09:48:43 pm »

T-the OVA? I didn't know there was an OVA... And yeah, an "actual" Saika blade would be totally badass!

Also, my screen name is always hawk222. Unless, of course, someone jacks it before I get the chance to use it... D<

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #34 on:** December 17, 2011, 04:24:36 pm »

Yeah, there's an OVA. It's pretty damn fantastic.

That would be pretty fantastic if you could get a Saika blade, and the chat room idea is pretty great, though I don't use the same username.

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #35 on:** December 24, 2011, 07:26:29 pm »

So I've thought a bit and I think if I cosplay Durarara next year I may be Mikado OR Izaya, depends on what I'm feeling.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #36 on:** December 24, 2011, 08:54:54 pm »

Oh! Mikado? We need a Mikado~

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #37 on:** December 24, 2011, 09:16:10 pm »

Yeah, I don't know which I'll do, but my wig works for both and I know there is always a lack of Mikados so... ^^;;;

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #38 on:** December 25, 2011, 01:21:50 am »

I'm probably not gonna be Shinra again this year. Maybe in a few years when the series dies and everyone isn't cosplaying the same 4 characters.......

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #39 on:** December 25, 2011, 09:28:08 am »

Ah yeah, that's probably the reason why I find Mikado for appealing then Izaya. Last convention when I cosplayed him the amounts were ridiculous. The only Mikado I saw was the one I had in my DRRR group.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #40 on:** December 25, 2011, 12:22:43 pm »

yeah, the reason I'm doing Anri is cause my friends want me too

hawk222 · « **Reply #41 on:** December 25, 2011, 10:10:57 pm »

*sigh* I hope there are fewer Shizuo cosplayers this year. I thought Durarara would be somewhat under-represented this year (2011), but I was so surprised to see all of my favorite characters! Anyway, I don't plan on switching off of Shizuo, not until I have a good feel for him. Hmm, maybe I'll move on to Shinra, as long as I can get my girlfriend to be my Celty... <3 She sure does loooooove Celty! (But then again, who wouldn't?)

hawk222 · « **Reply #42 on:** December 29, 2011, 07:17:52 pm »

So, sorry for the double post, but edits go unnoticed unless the thread is being posted in a lot. Now, onto why I'm doing this:

It looks like my girlfriend and I are going to attempt a couple cosplay of Shinra and Celty! We made the decision earlier today, and we're both pretty excited about it! She's going to try to have her Celty done in time for Kumoricon, and I'll try to have Shinra ready by then, too. I know that my Shizuo needs to be ready by Sakuracon, so by the time Kumoricon comes around, I'll make a point of having Luxord, Shizuo, and Shinra! If anyone has any helpful tips to offer me or my girlfriend for cosplaying Shizuo, Shinra, and Celty, they'd be greatly appreciated!

kittykat1blabla · « **Reply #43 on:** December 29, 2011, 11:39:03 pm »

Ah that's great! I can't wait to see your cosplays (that includes Luxcord), I myself cosplayed Shinra and I'm guessing that you';ll be using a wig? Well I used a black wig myself, but I didn't like it as much at the cosplayers I saw using a dark brownish wig. As for Celty it's good as long as you find a good suit that wont get too terribly hot and you have a good helmet. I'm excited to see you two walking around.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #44 on:** December 30, 2011, 12:13:38 am »

I used a black wig for Shinra and if you need help styling just tell me! I'd sell you mine, but I'm trying to see if I can use it for Death the Kid...

Anywho, thrift stores would be a good place to search for helmets to modify and the lab coat. Good luck!

I'm going as Shizuo! my girlfriend MIGHT go as Izaya, if she's still in town then. we already have our costumes; and this year i'll probably have her with me so no random people wanting me to kiss Izaya's that i don't know!
