UPDATE: I don't think I like henna. I got it in the mail about four days ago and tried using it. It feels like it's easy to mess up. I like the vibrant, dark pink color, though, but I think I am opting to go without arm tattoos/drawings.
In other news, my boyfriend has not yet acquired a lab coat, but my mom is promising a friend of hers can spare one by Saturday or Sunday, and on one of those days, we're supposed to all gather in costume at a friend's house. I was hoping to go out for Halloween on the actual day of, but I am pretty sure I will have to work, bleck.
Either way, maybe I'll have pictures after this weekend? I hope so. If nothing else, I have learned so much about cosplaying basics from the help here. I am pretty set on taking this same costume to Genericon in 2014 with a friend, and in the time I'll have until then I might think of ways to make improvements or explore other methods of doing things (like the arm tattoos). I may even look up different wigs and things like that.
It's been really fun though. On a recent day off I put on my entire costume just to entertain myself and it's fun to wear, since it's fairly simple, comfortable clothing. The wig feels awkward because I'm not used to it. The contacts are especially fun. I can see why people love cosplaying and I regret having never looked into it sooner instead of just considering this for Halloween.
