Hi guys

I'm quite a new member on this forum even if I had lurked around a long time before I joined. I'm dead set on getting to Seattle next year and even do my first cosplay as a native Na'vi. I have never cosplayed before but I want to do it now, since the trip to Seattle will be my first journey to North America. Might as well do it with a blast, yes? ;)

Since it will be my first time cosplaying, I'm stepping into unknown territory regarding wigs, body paint and the rest. I've chatted a lot with the awesome misstammie for a while and have discovered the REELMAGIK site which seems to be awesome! I have already ordered the mask (female one, I think it will look much better on me) , the make-up kit and the ears. Next month, I might go for the tail.

I hope you might help me if I run into some problems... :embarrassed:

Welcome :)

If you're looking for more information, there's a very useful blog post:
My Costumes Crafts and Cats: The complete break down of my AVATAR costume

I'm looking into getting some of that paint myself, it looks like an excellent match for the Na'vi colours.

I need to work out a lot of things for mine...

A loincloth and ears (was thinking of putting them on a headband to get them at a better height, then having it under a wig so I can have black hair), mainly - need to find where to get some good ears.

A loincloth won't be too bad. It's just what you are will to wear behind it, really. I'm covered, barely, to make it look right.

Ears from ReelMagik. Fit well, look great, light, comfortable. If you want to spend less money their are some latex ones out there for Halloween, quite good.

Sarah is the BEST at headbands. :) See her thread or ask her. I'm having one hand made and woven. I spend a lot money on my costume because I work my a** off and this is my treat to me.

You can get a good Avatar marketed wig form BuyCostumes. About $25.00. I went to where Sarah said in her Cosplay thread Fifi Mahony's. Where the drag queens go! I have it too custom made. You don't want to know how much. but it's killer. I'm picking it up next week.
