i am currently taking costume commissions. i havent done wigs for people before ( though i do have an tales of symphonia wig comming up).  but have done them for myself.  Since i stil feel that (with wigs)  im still practiceing i would be able to get a wig for you for little more than base wig costs.  dont wory i wont let you look like ass.  it just may take me a while.  so if youre willing to take something from a novice wig worker, then email me

What about reno's weapon.   do you have a Telescoping Baton or a spring Kosh.  I have some things out of suitcases that make a nice nerf version

I have not played FF7 and i'm not sure what his weapon lookedlike in that one.   I did see FF7:AC in that one his weapon looks like a spring kosh (I have one ) but it is a real weapon and I dont think they will let you have one.  I'll get a picture of the foam things to see what you think

http://vondan.com/picture_library/foamthings.jpg

they look like basic billy clubs as is and we have fun hiting each other.   I see how I could wrap one end in white leather and a little more padding as his Kosh has a chrome handle and a black extension.

the other stuff in the picture, I was looking in that box for my Kosh, but now we can weed out any one who responds about how cool knives are as a wacko.

It's well worth it. I commissioned one for Sakura-Con from her and it turned out great (and has still maintained its shape after wearing several times).  I'm definitely going to commission a Sailor Moon one for SC07. ^^

yeah, I had to throw away a wig one year, because of that... total waste of money, lemme tell you..... it was because they wouldn't let me take it out of the sealed bag (let that be a lesson from me to all of you) XD

yeah, anything you pay less than 30 dollars for (unstyled) is allmost gaurantied to be a piece of crap.  unless its like second hand or fell of the back of a truck or something.
