Guide To Being A Txantsan Cosplayer

[Human No More]

It was interesting to see... A few people, such as myself, were constrained by time and lack of skill though.

well you were rather... to the point! I liked your mane & I am sure you got some ideas for the next cosplay! Is This True?

[Human No More]

Yeah, I guess I did... the question is mostly whether or not I'll be able to do anything differently though, probably going to focus on general small improvements.

Etc. etc. etc.
That's very cool. I heard that I, with my tons of beads, looked rather Bollywood or Egyptian - and that's true! I used to do Bollywood in the uni & belly-dancing when I lived in the Middle East so it soaked thru into the costume and why in the world not? Vive la diference!

I never thought of it that way before, Apache. Everyone's outfits did reflect what was on the inside. I guess my bones and feathers reflect my love of animals and nature. Tammy was very much the heavy metal chick in her avatar outfit. There are a few details that I want to work on for the the next cosplay, but I think it turned out pretty well. Everyone looked spectacular!

Interestingly I am JUST having a conversation with someone else somewhere else about 'Be yourself no matter what they say' (Sting, Englishman in New York). A rose doesn't have tomatoes, and tomatoes don't have roses - but each one is good for what one is! Viva la variedad! (Long live variety!).

It was I really liked your & MOMS dance with knives, and Miss Tammie looking like a Na'vi rock star! in fact I liked everybody. Hmmm, what is the next cosplay going to be like!!??

More people?

Probably much the same, maybe small improvements to costumes.

^^^or maybe less people.
I don't think I'll be coming, 99% not. Keeping the margin of 1% for 'unknown & unexpected factors'. 'At first' I didn't think I would be cosplaying (certainly not as a full native Na'vi) this year either - but the 'unexpected factor called Candace' showed up & painted my good self top to bottom, plus more than a few other people! Everything changed.

[Fiyerwall]

Yeah, she really saved me this year. I'm going to work on my painting skills so that I won't have to depend on anybody to paint me. It'll also help me become faster.
