* Martha Jones (Doctor Who, New Skool): the main costume I thought I'd be preparing, except this means [livejournal.com profile] vandonovan would have to get a whole new suit and shoes to cosplay Ten >_<. Also, have yet to find the perfect (or even passable) burgandy leather jacket. The rest would sure be easy, though, and I'd feel a bit less like a tool than wearing a blonde wig, hahaha.
* Zoe Herriot (Doctor Who, Old Skool): Since [livejournal.com profile] vandonovan has his heart set on cosplaying Two, I could just not put any effort forth whatsoever and cosplay Zoe again. This = v. easy!
* Varesh Ossa (Guild Wars): What can I say? I saw her costume and fell in love. However, upon reflection, her armor is far too elaborate for lame, cheap, not-really-a-cosplayer-only-play-one-on-TV me. I am nowhere near hardcore enough for her. *bows down*
* Dervish Cover Girl (Guild Wars): This one could be fun, though. I love the Elonian Armor, and hey! Cover Girl comes with a prop and a library of poses for picture-taking purposes! The hardest part of this would be, if I'm not having the whole thing commissioned, getting items in the exact same shade of turquoise. I just thought of this one last night and it kind of got me excited to try it, hahaha.
* Ace (Doctor Who, Old Skool): to [livejournal.com profile] vandonovan's Seven? ????? ??????? >_> Hahahaha. I need another wig like I need a hole in my head, though. Sadly, that's the part I'd be most annoyed with having to come up with.
* Nyssa of Trakken (Doctor Who, Old Skool): I had at one point given serious thought to trying to cosplay Nyssa, since [livejournal.com profile] vandonovan already has a Four costume. I already have a v. curly brown wig (purchased for Hermione cosplaying purposes) that I think is perfectly Nyssa as well. The rest... I'd have to have commissioned, as her outfit is made up of.... insanity. But I thought it could be fun! Alas, I seem to have fallen off the wagon on this one.

My costume is going to be so, so easy:

- funky t-shirt
- Nikes
- jeans
- wrinkled button-down shirt
- suit jacket
- flaming cane
- bottle of Vicodin
- scowl

I am made of win and awesome.

When I read this, I thought, "so you're going as yoursel.... oh, House." Hahaha.

I think you should also paint on some 5'o-clock stubble :D.

Hahahaha.

I have a hard enough time keeping stubble OFF my face without putting more ON.

So, I'm planning on going to ComiCon this year and it will be my first con EVER. So what is this "cosplay" of which you speak? And what else should a virgin know before her first time?

Hahaha oh, yay! Cosplay is short for "costume play," basically dressing up as characters from TV, movies, video games, etc. Usually it refers to anime fans dressing as anime characters, but I use it for all kinds. You absolutely don't have to dress up for a con, though!

As for things you need to know.... well, I guess I'd say have plenty of cash on hand in case you want to make an impulse buy, because if you wander through the dealer hall there is a JUNGLE of booths and merchandise and things and you'll be tempted to pick up a lot of things :). If you have better self-restraint, you might be more interested in attending the panels or screenings or whatever scheduled events are going on. Bring good walking shoes if you're going to the dealer's hall, though. You can easily spend a whole day in there gawking at stuff.

That's all the advice I've got. Good walking shoes, cash on hand, oh! and a camera! You'll see people wearing cool things you'll want to take pictures of :). Hope you have a great time!
