okay i should put this on my notes for discussion on "what i want from fanime"...

there are three things that bothers me....
1) there are some anime shows i recall that has formal uniforms, do they count? (i rememebr code gease was one of them, and theres this GUY from gundam seed, who wears a mask but I DON"T wANT TO BE HIM!). somehow the uniforms i look at makes them feel more...mature and Enchanting (in my words)..

2)Idon't want to admit this but It feels like its required to have a girlfriend..I wanan participate this, but I would feel really left out.....I guess what im trying to say is uhm...never mind....

3) .   .   .

Though it's a Black and Whitle Ball, I don't thing formal is a must a I got in with just my costume though I am going to dawn a tie just for that event, and if you can't find a date no problem if you have a outfit formal or withwise that rocks then the ladies will come to you, a lot of women wanted to dance with me, well lets just say the Laughing Man more than me, but still it feels just as good
A.K.A. "Mr. Zeon Flag" Laughing Man MK. VI: with Power Ranger Gloves, Mustache and Zeon Flag in hand is 100%

hmmm...I was kind of scared when I went into the Black and White ball...It seemed the crowd was a little young for me, but hey what the heck I gave it a try... :o  Mainly saw a bunch of making out scenes...kept me entertained the short while I was actually there....Maybe this year I will do a He Is My Master costume...Black and White of course  hehehehe

I SOO LOVE HE IS MY MASTER TT!!!>.
the only option for me to cosplay in formal as of now....is Frederick Chopin.
I know alot of people don't know who he is, but he looks the most formal i can think of to go to the black and white ball....

Frederick Chopin

really love his baton because it looks like a fencing sword with NO guard XD!!!!

I had fun with the ball. The crash courses were appreciated. They were fun and pretty easy to pick up. I'm looking forward to going again and I'll probably wear my Tuxedo Mask costume like last time. It fits all qualifiers! :D

XD If you go as Tuxedo Mask, you will have one of my friends going up and changing your name to "Lantis" (from Magic Knights Rayearth II), then making you dance with her. XD

Question...
Do you think that Rinoa's dress from the SeeD ball will be acceptable? I will be making the hem a little longer....but...I was still curious.

yeah it's acceptable. My friend Kyra wore hers while being my "date" for the ball. It was fun. I can't wait to attend again. :3

ayyye you need a date?!?! :o NOOOOOOO!  lol...I guess I will have to find someone to be my master that night...lol

Hey that would kind of be a good idea to rent a date for the night, I am sure if someone held a sign outside for a "date for hire" for $10/hr...someone would definately take the offer  ???  hmmmmmm

I have a gf to bring along to the ball.  But since I am taking a Ballroom class at my city college, I'll be nice and you're welcome to ask me to dance wit me and I can teach you some basic stuff (she told me she wouldn't mind).

Just find the guy who looks like Brainage, hehe!

A proper "date" is not needed by any means. Last year, I went by myself and stayed the entire time, just dancing with random people and hanging out. I probably had the best time I've ever had at Fanime, and I went alone. :D

I hope this black and white dance is better than the one at ACEN 2007. Was'nt too pleased with the music selection and lack of folks actually...well , DANCIN on the floor. Not sure what to wear either. It would be fun to do a formal cosplay, but then again I'm not quite sure how much more clothing/cosplay outfits can I really squeeze neatly into my luggage(flying in from Utah). Anyone out there have some formal suggestions for a gal size 14? I know I am not petit and I rather wear something more suited for my figure. No since in looking like a stuffed pig in a blanket @_@. I have the whole mask thing taken care of if I decide to wear one. Bought  beautiful mask at a costume shop a few years back. I also have the whole date thing covered, or so I think. That is unless my friends become super popular on the floor.

I am not sure of a certain cosplay...but a rockabilly dress...meaning like a 40/ 50's style dress would be flattering.  They are usually tight fitting but in all the "right" places.   Just a suggestion....And yes you can pull off a tight dress without looking like a "pig in a blanket"  I think people will look more stuffed into an outfit if they try to wear clothing that is too baggy.  Something sexy and probably knee length like a pencil skirt would definately be cute as well.  Just make sure it is a great fit...I have friends who are size 7's but try to fit into size 5 pants and you see that roll hanging, eventhough they are thin...same applies to my friend who are size 16+.  As long as the item fits you then you will look great ;D  Hope that helps and didn't scare you...hahahah :-\

Tanks, i'll look into that. I so know what youre talking about thin girls wearing too small of clothes. I call it the cupcake roll, lol. Its sad that they have a great figure and make themselves look bad @_@.
