Suu's Thread-Jack

[Cramulus]

NICE! thx - we should start fabric shopping this week. Hopefully we can bust out 10 or so mantles before the Feb 10th event.

[Suu]

Awesome, let me know how it works out.

[Richter]

Looks even better in color!
Also: Your new avatar is the first thign in a year to cause me real sanity damage.  Thanks!

[Suu]

Framed!

[Cramulus]

woah, what a cool frame!

[Suu]

With the amount of work I had to do for it, I better fetch a high price. I glued my fingers together twice.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Framed!

Lovelovelove!

[Suu]

I'm fucking insane. That is all.

[Suu]

Back to sewing!


So in the next MONTH, I have to make:

A Japanese Haori, should be done by the end of the week!

Another Imperial Officer's tunic. Not for me, should be done by first weekend in March or I'm going to be stabbed.

And my very own mock bulletproof vest:



For which components were purchased today. Should be fun!  My trip to Florida actually involves my hair being cropped to that style.

I can't believe I got sucked into convention cosplay again...but at least it's with Resident Evil fags and not Narutards.

[LMNO]

It's still goddamned cosplay.

[Suu]

True, but unlike most people that do it, I KNOW I'm good and I have confidence in the fact that my costume is going to kick ass. I retired for a fucking reason. (The reason was that I fucking hate 90% of the people who go to anime conventions and would rather capitalize off of them instead.)


Basically this is how it happened. Mr. Suu and I are big RE dorks anyway, and so is one of our good friends Travis, who has a RE4 Leon Kennedy, a RE1 Brad Vickers (lol), And a RE: Apocalypse (2nd shitty movie) Carlos Oliveira costume. And there's supposedly going to be this huge uber OMFG group at Anime Boston that we absolutely positively HAVE to be apart of! LOLOLOLOLOL.

So I was like...okay, I'll be RE3 Jill. I'm older, I have curves, I like guns.

But noooo, every teenage bitchy girl announced that they were Jill, so we have 3 Jills (1,3, and movie) because Rebecca Chambers is "tooooo hard!" and "they don't want to spend the money on her costuuuuume!" Righto slutbags, you just wanna walk around in blue tube tops.

Soooo... I announce that I would do the 18 year old Rebecca, make my own bulletproof vest out of common items, and pwn the n00bs, showing them that it can, in fact, be done. Only a few people have made the costume so far before, because the vest is either $200 if you buy it, or you have to figure it out for yourself. Which I did by staring at the pixelated chest of this girl for an hour and taking notes. Shit, I'm even going to hand-make the patches that go on the back of the vest and her medic bag. The STARS patch I can get on eBay.

Of course now I have to risk having pre-pube fanboys humping my leg, and sitting at my art table in costume, but if it causes a stir, why not?

Oh yeah, and Mr. Suu is either going to be a zombie and attack said bitchy girlies, or Tofu. If you know Tofu, then you're REALLY an RE geek.

[Darth Cupcake]

I like tofu. The food product, at least.

Also, re: cosplay -- plz to be seeing my new avatar.

[Suu]

Lol...Sera Myu ftw.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

are you going to one of the cons down here?

i think megacon is in march and there's a j-con somewhere in there

[Suu]

I'm actually down the weekend BEFORE Megacon this year. But I went last year and will probably go again. When Mr. Suu doesn't come with me to FL, I don't bother renting a car, so going to Mega was out of the question this time around.

Oh and I'm banned from Jacon as well as some of the other anime cons down there. Not that I really give a fuck.
