the Dress-Off Saga 3: the NERDLUNGENLIED

IT JUST KEEPS GOING!

the second edition of the Dress-Off skit was much higher in production value and appropriate wig content. all the things i wished we'd thought of/done before the first edition were changed and added, and the 'story' of the skit was a little clearer. we are rival cosplay gangs, we are competing by dressing up, and Nessa cheats and wins by using the Death Note to kill us. the longer time frame was a big help, and also having some time to practice was rather useful.

3 minutes, 20 costumes...



the order, L to R is Richard, Ness, my brother Cliff, and me.

the costumes in this round are:

1. Trunks and Goku, Dragon Ball Z
2. Yugi and Kaiba, Yu-Gi-Oh
3. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, Inuyasha
4. Rukia and Ichigo, Bleach
5. Henchman from Venture Brothers and Moononite from Aqua Teen, both on Adult Swim
6. the Hitachiin twins, Ouran Highschool Host Club
7. Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi, Naruto
8. Near, Light, L, Mello, Death Note
all wrapped up with an OC/SNL 'Dear Sister' reference...

THAT is some classic nerdening. yessssss. we won 'Best Performance' and got a crazy ridiculous trophy, in addition to being the best Death Note cosplayers at the con. i talk a lot of shit about that convention (Nekocon '08) but i actually had a lot of fun in the bits where i wasn't passed unconscious from exhaustion or furiously gluing things trying to finish our costumes....
