A R CAPITAL G!

I love playing dress-up. (Obvious statement is obvious.) I've seen a lot of fabulous cosplays for specific characters or people (all my Gackt-obssessed friends are probably thinking with envy of Ghostkiller right now), and now I want to do it, too! For a while, I'd been thinking about buying a Genesis Rhapsodos costume, complete with wig and sword. Finally, I decided to go for it, and started searching the internet.
Who would have thought finding a simple short-cut auburn wig would be SO FREAKING HARD?! I could have sworn that months ago, before I'd decided I was going to get the costume, I saw an awesome red coat, and an awesome wig, and an awesome sword replica for sale online--and for affordable prices, too. Now? Let's just say if I want something nice, I'm going to have to pay through the nose to get it. Or maybe pay a smidgen less for raw materials and make everything myself.
*sigh* Maybe I should just make it easy on myself and go for Tifa's costume instead. Affordable stuff for her costume was maddeningly easy to find. Oh, wait, that's right; I'm flat, and Tifa's, ah, not. Now I remember why I went for a guy's costume in the first place. Complications, complications.
I think I'm going to stick with my elven cloak for now.
