Stay in character?

[Tensei Kaori]

Yeah, that's why Temari and Tayuya are gonna be hard for me. ^^; It's great though. Were there alot of Haku cosplayers for you to talk to?

[UchihaJyounochi]

Yah, although I am a REALLY shy person in public. So it took me a while to talk to most of em...

[Tensei Kaori]

Ah, I know how that goes. Though anime and cosplay in general seem to be kind of a shield; it's easier for me to randomly talk to other otaku than it is just some person off the street. Maybe it's because there's always something there for us to talk about? ::shrugs::

adding to the growing number of weird cosplay stories...
this year at a smaller anime convention in Toronto i cosplayed as Haku, and this person came up to me and was telling me how it was kinda strange but i was the first male cosplaying as haku...hm...i ges thats not that weird.....o! some advice for new cosplayers: be prepared to meet some stranger then urself people...my friend was stalked by this guy cause she had a chibi neko Kill Stick...I thought it was funny...she didnt as much ^^

[UchihaJyounochi]

Yah, its pretty fun. At last years Otakon, I was walkin around when a Haku cosplayer glomped me all of the sudden. It was kinda odd at first, but after I got over my shock it was pretty funny.

[Nayo-Chan]

aw...i was never glomped in MY haku costume...maybe cause i had the needles...or cause they thought i would fall over...my shoes were kinda hard to walk in..

[Tensei Kaori]

I wonder if any of us - the Hidden Sound group - will be glomped at Megacon? Tayuya is pretty much my only glomp-safe costume at the moment so if I get glomped I hope it's in Tayuya. Lol.

[Ayumi]

Awwww...that sounds like so much fun...staying in character *dream dream* *_* Especially the Gai thing ("COSPLAY IS YOUTH!!" hahahahaha Jove). And I can just see a rapid Kiba cosplayer running around and freaking out at every dog he sees "IT'S TIME FOR YOUR TRAINING "

But, I recently made a Kurenai outfit and I really don't know how to bring out her character...she's not a very developed one o.o

[UchihaJyounochi]

Poor Kurenai-sama! Kinda hard to stay in character for a character who dun really have much of character... what? *scratches head*

...

but yah!

[Nayo-Chan]

hehe....staying in character is good but if u cant its always good to have certain poses that u can do when people take u picture...^^

[Tensei Kaori]

Yeah, cool poses are great. My Tayuya poses came out looking pretty good but most of them killed my legs. ^^;

I cosplayed as Gaara way back when...

I tried to stay in character...but it was kinda hard not to smile...

^_^...The previous day I came without the eye makeup and "ai" tattoo on my forehead.

When asked about this, I just said I was Gaara fresh out of the Betty Ford Clinic.

I hyad gotten some sleep, removed the tattoo, and was ready for a fresh start on life! LOL.

I also got glomped by this one crazy inuyasha cosplayer a bunch of times...

[UchihaJyounochi]

ROFL! Eeeeep... glompage!! *hides behind Dan* Its kinda creepy when you start getting tackled by random people!

[Tensei Kaori]

As I had predicted, my bow obi got poked at Megacon. I don't really remember if anyone else's did, but we were on the way to the giant Naruto photoshoot when it happened to us. Someone came up behind me (kinda more like diagonally but oh well) and began repeatedly poking my obi. When I turned around and asked if she was, she said yes. I just said "Oh, okay then" and let her keep poking it. She followed me while doing this for awhile before going off somewhere else.

Let me tell you, there's no feeling in the world quite like someone poking your bow obi. Especially when it's from behind and you don't know it's happening til you feel it. LOL.

[UchihaJyounochi]

Rofl... she was a shinobi from the hidden village of poke! One of the most devious and dasterdly shinobi villages EVER!!! I am amazed you survived your encounter with her... *gasp* It was a close call K-chan! XP
