SO, I've been trying to think of someone to cosplay for Fanime '10 and I really really really can't think of anything. I mean, hypothetically I could be anyone, but I'm trying to find a costume that I could either construct myself (without it looking too crappy, i.e. zelda is hard because of the armor, etc.) or buy for somewhere under $100. Hypothetically, I'd want to cosplay someone who is widely known/recognized, and it doesn't have to be from an anime or manga. For example, my friend cosplays as Sweeney Todd and that's always a big hit.

I'm pretty tall, so it wouldn't really look good for me to do some cute little lolita girl because it would look awkward. I don't have a big chest... but I'm very very skinny. I have medium length brownish reddish hair, but I know that a wig can take care of that.

So if you have any ideas, I would be really grateful to hear them! ^__^ Thank you so much!! :3

the girl from Lovely Complex is tall (forgot her name, I've only read a bit of the manga)
Uotani Arisa (Uo-chan) from Fruits Basket is tall-ish
Riza HAwkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist isn't short

How about cosplaying as Revy from Black Lagoon? I'll try to find a picture.

Hmm there's plenty of things i can think of, that have easy outfits, and are very recognizable, but i'm not sure what you like so here are some ideas-

Evangelion- any of the girls in there school uniforms, Asuka, rei, or even misato's outfit.
disgaea- some of the job classes have easy outfits if chose flonne or etna i think they'd be recognized easily as well
one piece- nami, robin
vocaloid- rin kagamine
deathnote- misa

Thank you Nessa! I really like the idea of cosplaying flonne from disgaea! :3
