lol

and you will be dressing up as...........

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2008, 12:31:49 pm »

Ummm, you tell me? What do I know about scifi and fantasy....except Final Fantasy. Hmmm, lessee....I would probably have to cosplay as Cthulhu or some other Elder God, maybe Nyarlathotep. I just don't know anything scifi-ish at the moment, I guess.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #9 on:** March 23, 2008, 12:33:35 pm »

Reeealzy? I know nothing of Sword of Truth (even though Kahlan-gf has tried countless times to tell me about it, lol). But if you say so, then dummit, that is good enough for me. ^_^

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2008, 12:34:06 pm »

ooo yeah, but he'd have to shave his head... and neither of us want that...

but he really would make a great jagang... *ponders* how to make the head looked shaved while it isn't really but make it look real.....................

The one with the white shirt, orange thing, gold pants and black boots.
You must have seen her 'bandage' outfit lol

Oooooh okay that sounds a heck of a lot better lol

This one: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/125/355430025_98414cfb34_o.jpg

That would be a neat cosplay to see. I remember seeing someone cosplaying as Plavalaguna (the blue lady) before..was crazy.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2008, 10:10:22 pm »

yep, that's the one.

btw I absolutely love the Diva's singing. ♥ haha, and I wouldn't doubt that was crazy! man!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2008, 10:14:02 pm »

What are your thoughts? Diva's singing: actual voice or synth? Cause there are some notes and such rapid fluctuation of notes that it is quintessentially inhuman, but absolutely beautiful, that is for sure.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #22 on:** March 25, 2008, 10:37:13 pm »

I thought it was both... I have the song though, yaaay.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #23 on:** March 25, 2008, 10:43:47 pm »

Yeah, I figured it was both, but just thought I'd pose the question. ^_^

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #24 on:** March 25, 2008, 10:46:30 pm »

It would be pretty sweet if that was a natural voice though...

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #25 on:** March 26, 2008, 01:43:27 am »

haha, maybe if a person had elk/ape vocal chords surgically imported, lol. It'd be sweet though.

laurifer · « **Reply #26 on:** March 26, 2008, 09:10:47 am »

Okay yeah that's what I figured lol *whew* for a moment there I was like "totemo you're growing up too fast!" XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #27 on:** March 26, 2008, 09:49:52 am »

Well I don't think anyone would seriously consider cosplaying as bandage-strap Leeloo, lol. It'd be instantly forbidden (I'd reckon).

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #28 on:** March 26, 2008, 10:01:14 am »

I've seen a few actual good bandage cosplays... it just requires a really nice body and proper coverage. lol

laurifer · « **Reply #29 on:** March 26, 2008, 10:20:26 am »

Lol yeahh..well you can also wear those things...what are they called...where it's like a really sheer cloth that from far away looks like you're not wearing anything but close up you can tell...it's what most ice skaters use. I don't know what it's called though lol

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #30 on:** March 27, 2008, 07:50:14 am »

There was a girl who used that "nudesuit" fabric in her cosplay of Sailor Moon from one of the season finales.

It was in 2004 and the sent her back to her room to change because it was "innappropriate".
They didn't notice when her friend came back down wearing the exact same thing though.

So just be careful with what staff see you in a costume like that.

laurifer · « **Reply #31 on:** March 27, 2008, 09:52:29 am »

Ouch! I guess it's best not to risk that then

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #32 on:** March 27, 2008, 09:05:45 pm »

Hahaha, I don't think I'll go that far. The Leeloo outfit I'm considering shows an appropriate amount of skin in my opinion.
