Kagamine Rin! | New Cosplay!

Kagamine Rin! | New Cosplay Hey, guys! It's Julia! Today I wanted to show you guys a new cosplay I'm working on!  I had attempted this in the past with my.... old cosplay blog. Let's just say, this one is going a LOT better than before. While of course, it's not perfect, it's pretty good for my skill level. If you guys do not know who Kagamine Rin is, she is a Vocaloid. Her first name is Rin, her last name is Kagamine. (Yknow, in Japan they say the last name first unless you're friends.) As you can see, I am not done with it at all. I have the ribbon, collar, and trim done. The collar is uneven, as you can see from the leaning on the back. It looks better once I put it on, but I still plan to fix it. The ribbon curves in intentionally to remove the flat look. I think it makes it look like leaves! The trim on the bottom was made with felt. I do not recommend doing this, but I fixed it. It made the bottom fan out and stick stra

Posing Tips for Cosplay Photos | Tutorial

Posing Tips for Cosplay Photos | Tutorial Hey Guys, It's Julia! Today, I wanted to give you some tips I've learned from YouTube, cosplay contests, and personal photo shoots.  If you want some extra information, there are many YouTube videos.  This one helped me a lot:  How to Pose Like a Pro Silhouettes:  This was one of the points discussed in the video, and this truly works! I'm sure most people know about "Who's that Pokemon?" from the Pokemon anime. This is what I'm talking about. In this photo, you can tell this is obviously Pikachu. Even without minor details, colors, and a face. In photos, you should be able to be recognized as that character. I understand that some cosplays are hard to distinguish without the minor details. If this is the case, be sure to express your emotions. The silhouette should be able to be translated as, angry, sad, happy, and etc. To enhance this, try to keep your limbs apart so you will not create

My First (and only) Cosplay Award! | Random Hey, guys, it's Julia! Yesterday, I found my old cosplay award from my first anime con!  It's from two whole years ago! When I did my first ever cosplay, Link, from The Legend of Zelda ! I was so proud of it! This was before I even thought about making Inazuma cosplay, and when I first got into fandoms online! Well, here it is! Sorry for bad quality!

My wigs! | Package Arrival

My wigs! | Package Arrival Hey, guys! It's Julia! Today, I wanted to show you my wigs that came! Like a week ago.... (Sorry Guys!) I tried so many times to make a video, but it would never work. SO! I decided to take pictures of myself in the wigs! I hope you enjoy! Yellow Wig (Edward) Oh my gosh.... I love this wig!! This wig is very light, soft, and a great color! I think it looks ok on me, but it could look better. I still need to braid it and style those unrealistic bangs. (Don't forget the hair antenna! Haha!) This makes my Edward cosplay complete! White Wig (Allura)  This absolutely has to be my favorite wig. It is so soft, curly, and fun to wear! Although, I'm over protective of it. Which means, I won't wear it for anything but the costume's events.... (Also, I love the back!!!) Black Wig (Roy) I'm smiling because I think I look really great in this wig. JC was begging to wear it! It isn't my favorite wi

Epic Wig/Supplies Order!! | Update Hey guys! It's Julia! Today, I wanted to tell you i ordered a TON of stuff on amazon! (I'm getting half of it tomorrow!!) You don't  have to read this, because I will be doing an unboxing video, but go ahead if you want!  Wigs I Ordered: Princess Allura | White Wig: Wig Link  This wig is heat resistant, and very useful! I will mainly use it for my Allura cosplay, but I will be using it for female Shiro and female Papyrus! I'm sure if you are able to, it is able to be cut. (And styled.) Edward Elric | Blond/Yellow Wig: Wig Link This wig is not heat resistant, but comes in three colors! (I probably should've gotten the lighter one but whatever!) Many anime characters are blonde, like Winry, so it's very useful! Roy Mustang/Keith | Black Wig: Wig Link (The picture on the link was styled like Roy, but also works for Keith!) This wig is for me, but I will be le

Should I Cosplay in a group or alone? | Discussion

Should I cosplay in a group or alone? | Discussion Hey, guys! It's Julia! Today, I will be discussing the topic of group cosplay and solo cosplay. I have done both at least once and watched several videos on the subject. Sometimes, people wonder if they will get lonely cosplaying alone. Not necessarily. When I cosplay, I've always brought a friend to at least watch me. You can always make new friends at the convention! (Just be safe.) Cosplay can be a good conversation starter. However, if you go alone, you can be lonely. Although, this will apply to any event whether you're cosplaying or not. But, solo cosplay can lead to easier planning. You wouldn't have to save spending money for all of your friends. (If needed, this is sometimes a problem.) Or cosplay in a group with people who don't know anything about the characters. For example, I really like the Voltron: Legendary Defender series, but my friend knows nothing about it. I almost made her wear a c
