I am in a tough situation. It?s quite a long story to tell so I?ll try to keep this short
My cousin Mitsuko called me this morning and asked me if I would like to attend her anime club?s ?Geek Week ?Cosplay Dance?? this Friday. Because I love Mitsuko I said yes, but then she asked me to settle an argument.
Her and five friends are planning on showing up to the Cosplay Ball in themed costumes, and the group can?t seem to decide what theme they want show up in.
One of her friends suggested Neon Genesis Evangelion and controls half of the vote, yet Mitsuko (a bigger fangirl than I am of Shinku) suggested that we go as the seven Rozen Maiden dolls, and controls the other half of the vote. The decision (to me) is too large and important to make, so I?m asking you.
Finding the right costumes will be easy as there is a small business in Mitsuko?s neighborhood that specializes in creating costumes for production purposes, so getting custom or pre-made costumes will be easy as well as finding accessories.
Before you cast your vote please consider the following conditions we are facing:
- All seven of us are girls
- We plan to be the only ones wearing the costumes we buy (the ball will probably have close to a hundred people attending in costume)
- One of us MUST, I repeat, MUST win the ?Best Dressed? award.
- Money is not a large concern, yet we don?t want to spend a thousand dollars per costume.
- We want to be the center of attention.
- I will illustrate this point once more: One of us MUST win the ?Best Dressed? award.
Consequences of your decision:
If you choose Evanglion, I will go dressed as Rei Ayanami. This will require me to cut and dye my hair extensively. Since we are all girls there will not be a Shinji and only three of us will be in pilot suits while the others will have to be NERV personnel and be Misato, Ritsuko, Maya and Hikari. Since Rei?s eyes are red I will have to go without my left contact and be unable to see anything left of my nose further than five feet. The costumes will be relatively cheap and is in stock at the store.
Order for Rei Costume buys:
- Pilot suit
-Hair things
Pros:
- Costume is cheap
- Costume is in stock
- Costume is small and can easily stored
- Easy to put on
Cons:
- Chances are high we will run into people with the same idea
- Theme is considered unoriginal
- Will be partially blind
If you choose Rozen Maiden, I will obviously go as Suiseiseki. This will require me to cut my hair partially to fit under the wig, yet not too much. Since there is seven of us we will all be wearing costumes, so there will be a Suigintou, a Kanaria, a Suiseiseki, a Souseiseki, a Shinku, a Hinaichigo, and a Kirakishou. I get to wear my contacts. Our costumes require us be measured for our body, shoe, head, and ring size and will be finished by Friday if we place our orders and are measured today. The costume is made in the store and props are shipped in from Japan. All of the props of our costumes are school-legal (we are not sure of Souseisseki?s Gardener?s Sheers). Costumes WILL stretch our budget. This is the
Order for Suiseiseki Costume includes:
- Underdress
- Green Victorian dress
- Wig w/ sewn on Bonnet
- Shoes
- Non-prescription red and green contact lenses (No thanks, do not require them)
- PROP - Green Rose ring
- PROP - Gardener?s Watering Can
- PROP - Glowing green orb (supposed to be spirit ?Sui Dream?)
- PROP ? Wind up key (fits into slot on back of dress)
- Costume and props are delivered to my door in a 4?x?3?x1? case
Pros:
- Costumes will be elaborate and original
- We all get to wear important costumes
- Lots of acceptable props
- Nobody has done this before
-Will be EPIC if we pull it off.
Cons:
- Costumes will be VERY expensive
- Shipping costs for accessories will astronomical
- Costumes will be heavy and will be very warm
- Minute chance that shipments will arrive late
- Difficult to put on
Now that you know everything you need to make your choice, please cast your vote. Results will be concluded at 5:00 pm.
