Costume fixed

Finally I fixed my costume which was ruined by the washing machine and had all the tassels torn off. Now they are all back. In fact, this time I use some eyes and hooks to hook them up so that I can take them off if I need to put the costume into washing machine again. It's nice to learn something through making mistakes.

Sense of beauty

Beauty really is the eyes of beholder. For instance, I have this pink costume you can see at the left. While most of my Chinese friend thought it was the ugliest and most horrible thing in the world, most of my American friends thought it's such a gorgeous costume. But then I am glad that not everyone like the same thing, or otherwise there will be more fights and wars among people who try to get the same pretty stuff.

A costume is ruined, and it was all my fault

I didn't know why I had an idea that I can wash my pink costume in a washing machine. But I did, and the result was a disaster. Sigh. Now I need to find to find some tassels to fix the costume. Interesting enough, my friend showed me this site about making tassels myself, which actually seems like a good idea.

A Photos of my new costume

Remember I mentioned the costume that I was about to made in Hong Kong like months ago? Well, finally it's done. Honestly there are some stuff that don't like about this costume, but at least now that done it once, I know how to instruct the costume designer to do it better. I will post more photos later when I get time. In fact, I probably will take another set of photo once my new camera arrives. For now, here's the sneak peek.

My Dagger messed up my long glove

I was trying out a cosplay character look with the prop Dagger I brought form Hong Kong, and found that the Dagger torn some part of the long black glove. That sort of pissed me off, but at the same time I was very confused, because I didn't see any share anyway on the dagger handle. How in the world did the handle torn my black glove? Gotta figure it out some day some time.

Didn't brought that 38 inches long sword

In order to make my Martial Art cosplay costume look more authentic, I was trying to buy a sword to accommodate it. Unfortunately, most swords I saw at a store I went to in Hong Kong were at least 38 inches long, definitely couldn't fit in my suitcase. That's why I brought a shrinkable sword instead. The full size sword cost HK$110, which is pretty resonable, and I doubt that I can find it at the same price here in United States. Oh well, maybe next time when I get back that I'll finally get one.

costumes

I am still on the plane now, but if my luggage didn't then lost along the way, then I will have quite some new costumes to use in the coming one year. In fact, almost half of my luggage are various costume related clothing. I didn't really planned on buying that many, but for as the price was right, I thought, why not.
