Cospprogess 3: Dye or Wig?

ARGH! I don't kn0w what to do with my hair now, so I need some opinions on whether I should buy a white wig or equivalent or dye my hair white (but dirty white) and get a hair cut...

And if you people choose the second option, I might be able to cosplay again as Godot from the Phoenix Wright series (if you have no idea who the f**k is Godot, I suggest you go to a certain Phoenix Wright fansite and click on the Characters section (btw, look for the bloke with white hair and that cool visor he's wearing. No, I'm not kidding).

Must stop blogging, got essay to finish now...

Cospprogress 3: Starting the costume and finding the fabrics

Just done clothes shopping yesterday and started modifying the bag, as well as the gloves (only done one of them so far).

And then recently today, one of my halls mate asked me about my weekend and it was just a typical clothes shopping that's 'girly' and then I told her about the cosplay I'm doing and asking her where to find a good fabric shop and then she told me there's a place in the outskrits of the Potteries car park in Hanley that sells fabrics, so it will be aworthwhile if I'm going there next Saturday. But for now, have to modify gloves and get some sleep or something...

Cospprogess 2.1: Measuring the Sword and Height

Done measuring the sword and done what my height is, so that means I can now scale how long the sword's going be and...now, I'm going to buy some clothes to make the costume (though the coat is going to be a tough one as it's impossible to buy a coat that has the same colour as Felts design, as well as finding one that isn't so sporty or something). However, I can get the boots and some other stuff that I customise.

So for now, I need some sleep...

Cospprogess 2: Measuring the Sword

So how am I doing?

Well, after planning on what materials I needed or something, this morning I planned out the measurements for the sword and eurgh...this took me around 3 hours to take some measurements on the height and width of the sword, as well as doing the 'subsections of the sword piece by piece, though I haven't figure out on how tall I am and then scale it. -_-;

Thank goodness I've got mathematic skills from my father and now all I need is some materials to make the sword, though the only problem is...I have no idea which ones are better at moulding the weapon: should I use sturdy foam or cardboard (btw, I'm going to leave the weapon making bit until I'm staying at Manchester for Xmas, where my lil sis is going to help me, while doing revisions for her Jan exams)?

If anyone would like to suggest, then you're free to do so. Right now, I'm going to buy some cheap clothes to get it started, prefably if it's Primark or something equivalent.

Cospprogess 1: Making Felt

After so many months being a lazy ass doing some costumes and then fail to finish it with full force, I finally decided to get my arse off and do something worthwhile for this: My Felt cosplay!

Yes, I know my brain's going to forget about this, but if I can make it in time for either Collectormania Gmex or MCM London Expo May 2007 in time, then I'm going to be famous on the Internet on being the only crossplayer (i.e. crossdresser as Felt is a bloke) who has ever crossplay (gender-bending costume play) as a bloke from other than Final Fantasy series. So, in order to make the costume and the sword, as well as balance uni stuff that I need to finish, I'll be putting the progress on how far I did on doing the cosplay as well as posting some ordinary out-of-the-wall stuff that I find interesting.

And if I tend to forget to make the costume, then remind me! Otherwise, you won't be seeing me cross-dressing as Felt!

And here's the picture that I'm going to cosplay (or rather crossplay) as...

OMG! This is UK politcal correctness gone wrong again!

I was waking up from playing too much Silkroad Online from yesterday and after breakfast and popping down to good ol'student shop when I noticed the headlines from both The Times and The Guardian:

'Teenage see ASBOs as badge of honour"

WTF? I knew it! I knew stomping these riduculous Orders to teenages is a bad idea. I mean, these teenagers are not disciplined enough, so blame the bloody parents who couldn't be bothered on getting these kids straight years ago!

And as for the person who said that the teenagers who think these ASBOs are badge of honour and then he'll smirk off their faces by putting them into custody would only going to get worse. And if it's going to get worse than ever in the next few years, I'm moving to Dublin, Ireland!

Yes, as the title suggests, I am Vietnamese and I expect to eat some delicious Vietnamese cuisine (okay, only a few selection), but there's one dish that I so missed, since I moved to Stoke-on-Trent from my family's hometown of Manchester:

Phở

There, I said it! I missed eating that wonderful noodle soup bowl that my parents cooked with very great care T_T! I missed eating the beef rare (yeah, it's like having the beef done in English cuisine, but in soup base), while slurping the rice noodles on my mouth and then, if possible that my stomach isn't full yet, swallowed the soup on my mouth. I just missed the warmth in it, especially as it comes to winter this year. T_T Maybe next year, I should take the train to uni; it's only 45 minutes from Manchester to Stoke-on-Trent, PLUS I think the city life in Stoke is pretty boring, despite being the safest city in the UK.

On another note, who never knew the British comedian Jimmy Carr came up using all he magnetic letters on the board in QI (UK Quiz show, where it involves on the basis of quite interesting facts, instead of the obvious)?
