I suck and I don't count how long it takes for me to get cosplay together, I mostly lurk in charity shops in hope I'll find something good.
- The wig took an hour to style.
- It took me 3 days to paint on the glue on the white top I used, and it took 1 day to dry.

MCM May 2011 (Posted 14th June 2011)  

This was an evening cosplay I did at MCM London Expo 2011.

I allowed my friends the opportunity to vote on which cosplays they'd like to see me to in the evenings/afternoons of May expo and the majority voted this one.

May 2011:
- The wig used on this occasion was exchanged with my friend, Uzi. She purchased me a new England wig in exchange for my Finland one that I didn't have a use for anymore.
- The Keffiyeh I used was red, not a reddy-orange colour like it is here, and it also had tassels. I will try to get a more accurate checkered neck scarf next time.
- I luckily found a pleather jacket in a local charity shop for a cheap price, it's not lined in red though. :( I might change that if I'm confident enough and can be bothered.
- The green top didn't come out as expected, I kind of don't like it. XD Oh well, I did try~
- I used some black jeans I purchased from Primark for his trousers. :)
- I purchased some red patent boots for the shoes here. I didn't buy accurate ones as accurate ones were 3x the price... but I did get red shoes. XD Mine had 3" heels~

And that's about it. :) I don't plan on cosplaying this again anytime soon.

Top being dyed~ (Posted 20th May 2011)  

Top being dyed. = w = I followed a tutorial I found online... I can't soak it in the dye, the usual method, due to the design I 'painted' on the front.

It appears to be working, it's at least a paler green to the rest... the dye didn't seem to like it.

I just hope the rest of the top comes out a good colour. It doesn't show in the picture, but it's laying in a pool of dye that sort of swelled up when I was spritzing it. XD ;;

I've drawn the design for the top to paint on with glue~

Boots arrived. :) Yaaay~

I just purchased the jacket and took some shots of what I currently have of the cosplay.

Wig, jacket, keffiyeh and jeans.
