There needs to be a maid cafe in the DC area. They would make a killing around here taking advantage of the power trippers here. Imagine some Capitol Hill staffer, K Street lawyer or some GS-15/SES director getting their ego stroked by some maids and butlers? Only problem is that the real estate costs in DC are the stuff of nightmares.

Shit, you paid this amount per night?

The combined total for the room alone will get you an all inclusive trip to Asia.

All of this is 100% above board. The only way the IG gets involved is if you try to exempt yourself from paying the taxes on the room using a government issued credit card. I pay for my rooms out of my own pocket.

hi guys, I had once seen a video of two girls in bikini kissing each other at an anime expo. one of them was cosplaying asuka from nge and asher name was jessica nigri I think. does anyone know where I can find this video?

The best thing about the Fuji system (XT-1) for me is the fact that it is lightweight compared to my old gear which was a Nikon D200 with an old 28-70 and 70-200. Walking around with that all day at a con gets annoying.

I guess I'm pretty set with the gauntlets, but the cloak is gonna be the real problem for me as I've never worked with fabric in my life.

I don't think I'll have an issue with the fraying and coloring of the robes, but I can't find patterns for anything more than a very basic cape and hood for the outer layer. Failing that, I'd be more than willing to buy them, but can't find anything similar.

Any recommendations on how to get steel colored like this?
Will either be making my own or buying a remarkably similar pair from Amazon, but it will be steel either way

Is there a way to color steel like this?
Working on a nazgul cosplay, and caught between buying these and making my own out of sheet steel:

(Will probably end up doing both) and I'll have to do it either way.

PS. I'm aware the gauntlets I linked don't have a glove attached yet
PPS. If anyone knows where I can get a decent cloak, share to save a life

Hoping some people have suggestions for the frame of this costume

>>9040832

I had not thought of the other idea, but I really am just trying to make a convincing facsimile of that Charlotte.

Hey guys, I just got through with Akon and saw some amazing cosplays.

I don't necessarily plan to enter any contests or anything, but I need some help building a Charlotte cosplay. I'm not looking to indulge in any creative interpretations of the character, but create a facsimile of pic related.

I guess for starters, I need to know some suggestions for the frame please. Possible materials, if it is wise to build around a hiking backpack (with metal poles and shit) as a base, etc.

Otherwise, I have to create some weird shoulder mounted custom frame and that just seems more complicated than trying to build around a base.

Anyway, any and all suggestions regarding the frame of this outfit are welcome, whether original or whether you are certain it is the same material used in this picture.

Please and thank you!

Thanks man. Now if I could find a shitty one for under $15ish that would be awesome.

I want to make a vault dweller costume like this guy. Is there a word for those leather pouches he has around his belt? Can I buy them anywhere (cheaper the better) or is there a simple way of making them?

hey guys, i'm going to cosplay for the first time in october. i've always liked it, but had never really tried. As for prices, it's pretty expensive where I live, and since i'm 20 and study full time, this is going to be heavy for me, but ok.

What I ask you guys is: is it worth it? To spend considerable time, effort and money on something that you can only wear a few days of the year and that most people will make fun of? I mean, i've always been what robots would call chad, i'm fit, have a gf and study at a nice uni, etc. And my friends don't really see with good eyes the cosplay world. So, do you guys enjoy it?

Send your pics and rate, enough said
