we (by 'we' i usually mean 'i,' everyone else just humours me,) decided that our skit needed polishing, upgrading, and another shot at being performed. Alicia couldn't go to Nekocon '08 with us, but my 'little' brother stepped up and took over. because i am lame and also stupid i decided we all needed Death Note costumes: me as Mello, Ness as Misa, my bro Cliff as Shidou, Richard as Light,and Jin as L.
Richard and Jin took care of their own costumes, but i made the bulk of Mello, Misa, and Shidou. i spent a long, long time making my own wig, (which i didn't realize was too long until i saw pictures,) and due to my delightful procrastination problems, a great deal of the actual costumes were made AT THE CON, and a variety of things were glued rather than sewn properly. poor Ness was glued into her costume, which was basically made of plastic wrap. (sorry, Nessa.)
Ness makes awesome jewelry, so she hand-made my awesome rosary, her awesome rosary, my awesome rosary bracelet, and her cute little goth earrings. (they were not, however, awesome rosary earrings.)
Cliff's costume weighs a ton, is built on hockey shoulder pads so it's mad hot, has gloves with two-foot-long fingers, and has very limited visibility. he was also stopped every ten feet for pictures and/or hugs. (AND apparently masks are semi-illegal in Virginia, so he had to keep the head off while walking around, and put it back on and re-adjust it every three minutes for pictures. Cliff is far too patient with my dumb hobbies, and obliged with minimal complaining.) i think he secretly enjoys dressing up like a crazy person...
i spent a retarded amount of money on this costume, but i don't care. Mello is still one of my favourite characters, despite having a largely insane fanbase. he is also the victim of the "Marsh-Mello" phenomenon, wherein he is mainly cosplayed by pasty overweight girls...
...
...yeah. lol.
anyway- i spent so much time freaking out about our Death Note costumes that i almost forgot to freak out about our Masq performance...
