...because suddenly I rather want to do a gothic lolita version of the CTS outfit---like, yellow/orange kimono top, black frilly short skirt, knee high boots, lacey bits and pacman accessories.......possibly sai made out of paper towel rolls and such?
so....good idea? bad idea? better idea?
yeah.
THis is where I got my Harley Quinn outfit. There's a couple Lolita costumes. I don't really know what Lolita means...but check 'em out.

She told me she was a member of the Rose City Rollers, but I can't seem to find her in the roster pics. She seemed a little light to be a player (those chicks are tough)......
Wow did anybody not talk to her? :P

"Lolita" generally means frilly, fluffy dresses with a lot of ribbons and/or lace. People who like to dress loli style often curl their hair and wear frilly headbands with white stockings and chunky shoes.
"Gothic Lolita" means you dress loli, but everything is black, white, or red, and maybe you overdo the eyeliner.
Yeah, technically it'd probably look more like a magical girl outfit than lolita, but I figured that most people here would recognize the term "gothic lolita" more easily. To my understanding there's names for like, a more reserved/slightly older lolita, princess lolita(RUFFLESSSSS), Gothic Lolita(CROSSESSSS), and....crap, I forget what comes after that.
Anyway, that's why I described it. A Kimono top(referencing the karate gi and hakama-style CTS wears) seemed most fitting, and isn't out of my sewing ability. (Unlike a lot of lolita stuff.) I've already done a CTS crossplay for Sakuracon....06? So I'm looking for something both relevent, recognisible, and more original.
Any mods reading this thread? We should probably move this discussion to the "missed connections" thread, since it has nothing to do with cosplay.
I think everyone loved Snake, bringing in more cast members just made it that more awesome.
Strangely I never saw any of the TF2 cosplayers but knew they had to be out there SOMEWHERE. Kind of like all the Mario's and Luigi's I saw. Where's Waldo? was way recognizable and definitely earned some laughter.
The Precipice of Darkness groups were excellent - I especially loved those who took it upon themselves to drag garden tools around with them all day.
The Cortana = excellent. Of course Masterchief was impressive as well.
That Darth Vader was TALL. it could be that I'm undeniably short but I was impressed.
Silent Hill nurses, you creeped me out.
Necrons were intimidating. In a good way.
And the Sins of the Solar Empire costume. What in the world. You should be paid for that!
Funny thing is, I know that guy from work. He works for a company that services some of our printers, and I kept hassling him to come to PAX. I never saw him there though because he spent so much time in the expo hall and I spent so little time there.
....that's a terrifying thought.
maybe I'll just make it a female CTS-style ninja kinda thing. It got WAY hot in the pink gown I wore as Anne-Claire, so it'd be nice to wear something....well, something that breathed a bit better, at least. Or maybe episode 2 of Rainslick will come out and magically have a new female to cosplay.
She was a dev, actually.
well I hope she comes to see you again ^_^ *you still have your sonic screwdriver right??* I saw you at about 9:00 pm, AWSOME sonic pen from the first donna episode!!! *tho the two don't ACTUALLy cause glass to break when you put them together....T___T* (was the pen also a black light?) (fellow dr.who fan, I had crepes when you took our pics)
@chicazul::: I woudl so join in on trying to get a cosplay contest!!! (has luigi photo on phone still) You were awsome! (the mario had a quest to skip gleefully along for 10 seconds, who was with us) I was with the tall mario adn luigi and RaZ (I was Lili) XDDD (and I LOVE your avatar!! BGE forever!!!!) (can you NOT wait for BGE2?!?!) *hugs* (I hope to post my pics...as soon as my digital camera stops being broken T__T)
Seriously, don't start with that shit. If your "family" isn't capable of handling a scantly clad chick, they shouldn't be playing video games let alone attending a convention dedicated to them. Grow up.
They're making the assumption that most kids who might be showing up at the convention will 1) have their parents permission, and 2) be reasonably mature enough to handle a little skin.
But you're right; we should make the show 18+ so we don't have to worry about the hyper conservative nut job soccer moms from getting their panties in a twist and storming the gates of Penny Arcade claiming a little flash of ass has some how traumatized their bubble-boxed project child.
For the love of Christ; grow up. Some day your child is going to look at porn, drink a beer, smoke a cigar, and HAVE SEX! Teach the kid that stealing and murder is bad, lighting prostitutes and kittens on fire is questionable, and that supporting himself and being respectable to his friends is good and you done did a good parenting job.
Or better yet; if you see something at the con you don't like; LEAVE! :winky:

I'm 50/50 on this kid. It's fucked up, but then again I like fucked up humor; but on the same note, do we really want this little shit to grow up feigning attention by doing stupid stuff?
rainbowsix vegas 2 for the win
Two days ago doesn't exactly constitute "a long time ago" but ya, there's better things to post; like pictures!:
Hands down the cutest Pokemon I've ever seen.
I actually MUD'ed with this guy. He was one of the main coders for the DarkHeart MUD like 15 years ago; he also coded NeoPets and is working on TwinSkies. The woman with him is a friend and a complete sweetheart.
What if the sign was written in crayon, mispelled and had a few backwords letters in there? Wouldn't that be adorable?

That was actually coffee in there and I did manage to drink it all. Though I don't think I'll be doing that again...
Altmann:
All those pics are pure awesome.
+10 in camera skill
FYI: I beleive she works for intel. Ive seen her at many Intel related events before.
Nope. She's actually a consultant/engineer for smaller, more independent companies. However, she likes to go to events to network, so that's probably why.
And yeah, altmann, what type of camera is that? And how do you get the lighting to look the way it does?
She's a good friend of mine. Great chicky, she is.
Hey, great to see another Who fan. Although technically, that wasn't the first Donna episode ("Runaway Bride."). I don't remember seeing you downstairs, but I do remember showing off the Sonic pen in the general crepe eating area. And yet, I believe that Sonic Pen also has a black light. Amazon.com sells a pen/screwdriver combo. The difference from the Screwdriver on its own is that it doesn't include the UV nub, and doesn't include the psychic paper.
BTW, I just spoke to the roller skate girl in question, and she gave me her permission to post her name on these boards. She's Jeri Ellsworth. She has her own Wikipedia entry, and she's best known for completely reverse engineering the Commodore 64 in the form of a handheld toy that you could plug directly into your TV. Which probably makes her one of the biggest experts on the C64 in the nation, if not the world.
You can find her twitter account here:

"Say.... stinky farts!"
I admit it was rather corny... but it did work. ;-)
I've now updated my personal site with all the cosplay photos that turned out: darkphibre.com Cosplay folder. PM me for bigger-sized photos.
Dark Fibre: Fiberoptic cable placed in anticipation of future demand
I'd say the main "secret" is that I use a prime lens (begin uber-technical speak here) which has no zoom but allows for a wider aperture (more light enters camera) and i can use a faster shutter speed thereby getting sharper images without using a flash since I can't afford one. I do run 'em through CS3 to adjust white balance and levels since I shoot RAW.
There's a photo thread in the Arts section of the forum. We geeks hang out there and pat ourselves on the back a lot.
It's nice to see all the other photos. I can't believe I missed some of the awesome cosplay! You guys are good at being patient and the posing helps get the shot.
"Oh what a day, what a LOVELY DAY!"
Here's a clue as to who he is:
Some say that he once killed a man who was towing a caravan, using only a steering wheel, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves...
