I think the person who did that actually did get in trouble before she put them on, so it's possible they are kind of acceptable? They're really not any worse or better than flip flops, though, IMO.

I want to buy this wig below
but im not sure if i really want it, i'll be wearing it for either a lolita or gyaru look
that is what i look like below
do you think i would look good or not?

[koolcalcat1]

Oh it would be perfect with your eyes! There so doll like!

[S3r3nity]

WOW, cardboard and clear tape... that is pretty ghetto!  I think i will just stick to sandals or ballet slippers!!

[Melly]

i think if you were going for a gyaru look i'd stick with a soild color wig c:

[mimikku]

but there are some famous gyaru that has 2-tone hair

I have a question about wigs/clip ons:

Does anyone have any idea as to where I can find black pig tail clip ons, or black pig-tail wigs?
I'm still searching for a wig to complete my Kyubei Yagyu cosplay.

I have been considering ordering a $34 wig online [free shipping.], but I do not have a PayPal account.
I also have thought of asking on of my friends to do it, but I'm still unsure.

This is what the $34 wig looks like : http://www.ecrater.com/p/10996009/gintama-yagyu-kyubei-in-girls-dress

My friend recently told me of a hair store in Eastridge Mall [San Jose] that sell wigs, but she couldn't remember whether they sold clip ons.

What do you guys think; Should I go for the online-shopping & ask a friend, or check Eastridge Mall first before shopping online?

Thanks!

ive seen tons of wigs like that on ebay C: ive also seen just clip ons (like no base if your hair is long enough and black)

but i would kind of suggest not ordering online (Since it is like.. two weeks away and who knows when it will get there :() unless of course you did the like express shipping @_@;

as for wig stores ive never been in one so i cant really help there D:

Well, there is a way to still order online and get it in time...you just have to shop in local ebay sellers. The problem with that is that they charge more (but you'd probably end up paying as much or more by expediting the shipping if it were from China, so it kind of evens out). Here are some black clip ons (no base wig) that are located in California and can ship within 1-3 days:

I looked through eBay once more for pony tail clip ons/wigs, & I found a similar style here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-PONYTAIL-PARTY-COSPLAY-VOCALOID-HATSUNE-MIKU-WIG-/300496501496?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item45f6fcbaf8#ht_2058wt_1139

It seems legit, plus, the shipping is estimated b/w May. 17 &  May. 19.
Does this alright?

Yeah, actually, that's not too bad, especially since it's in the states and you don't have to deal with the whole customs step. I'd message them and let them know you're on a deadline, just in case.

I'm looking to buy overalls for a potential Mario cosplay but even Goodwill doesn't seem to have them. :/ Does anyone know of a store that carries them?

Okay, sounds good. Hopefully, I'll be able to proceed with this order in time. :)

Alright so, i have my Euphemia wig

which has like add-on buns

and i mean they're cute and all but..

they dont stay on for life of them :l

and like.. the buns have like built in clips or whatever

but they're both on the same side -____-;;;;;;.

so i'm wondering if i could get some tips/hints on how to securely attach them.

i have bobby pins, but the buns are like... on a hard ish looking thing so they don't really work that great either :(

[TurtleSayuri]

So for the upcoming Fanime I was thinking of going as a Punk Loli but I have some questions. I am using this tutorial. http://www.thimble.ca/?p=168 I was wondering if for punk would it be best to use blue plaid or red plaid? I prefer blue but I usually see red skirts. I forgot the other questions *headdesk*

[FireDracon]

Anyone going to be there with a sowing machine, i have last min sowing that needs to be done. but need to leave in like a hour or two and i dont have anyone to finish the sowing.

[yumicchi88]

Who are some characters that are:
- girl
- silly
- weird
- smiles/ laughs a lot
- not too tall
- cute rather than cool
- likes to sing ( this is optional)
- short to medium long hair

Why? because this is my personality, and i want to cosplay something close to myself next year! comments please!

[amaya_JDB]

Question:
I'm looking for black pistols for my outfit for next year, but the only ones I can find are airsoft guns (which is a big no-no according to weapons policy). Is there a place I can buy fake ones or do something with the airsoft ones so I can't use it?

[FireDracon]

buy some toy guns and paint them?
