But I really adore the skinny, smexy looks. Probably because that is how I would love to look myself.

Lol ya, I totally understand lol. That's why I cosplayed Matsumoto and Tsunade, it boost your self esteem without showing any belly lol. Oh, and Beatrix, I loved cosplaying Beatrix too, showing off some 'upper part' and legs but yet again no belly xD

I do love FF a good bit, but I have not played all the games or know all the characters.

Which one have you played?
(personally I have yet to start my FF2, FF5 and FF6 game, lol, and I don't have FF3 or FF11...or a PS3 so neither FF13 lol)

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

I have played some 7, 10, 10-2, 12, and saw my husband start 13.

I see, so I guess you'd like to cosplay Tifa, Rikku(X-2), Paine and Yuna(X-2) then? xD Personally I've cosplayed from those games, uh... Sephiroth and Rikku, though I'd like to cosplay Seymour from FF10 one day (I love challenging cosplay and crossplay lol).

I would love to be Lulu and some of Paine's different looks the most.

Oh, Lulu! I've seen a lot of Lulu that aren't the 'perfect thin type' and their cosplay were really nice ^^ Especially when they had the moogle/cactuar/etc with them ^^ Ohhh, and right, FFX-2 have so many different outfit...Gotta love Berserker lol.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

Yeah! I would have Moogle! ♥
I love a lot of them, though I have not played it in forever and cannot recall the looks.

Lol, the dolls are just too cute ^^
And hmmm, google is your friend then xD

LoL, yep! I am Googling outfits myself.

^^
The first thing I usually do when making a cosplay is find a LOT of reference from it, including back shots and the such, THEN I start looking for the fabrics, beads, wigs, contact lenses, and whatever else it may need ^^

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

How expensive do some of your outfits range?

Oh gosh, hmmm, it goes from 30$ when it's very simple and no wig involve (though I count the shoes) to...300$ when it comes to a full body armor (that thing killed me O_O)

Lulu would probably be around 100$ I think with the wig, extensions, fabric and all... Unless you also buy contact lenses, then add perhaps 30-40$ since red ones are very common to find ^^

I would not enjoy poking my eyes though, so I would have to be Lulu with glasses, lol.

Lol, well you just have to take your glasses off for pictures then ^_~

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

Yeah, and be so blind while the pictures get taken.

Lol ya xD As long as you can keep your eyes open it's ok lol, and it looks far better without glasses on pictures too (and when not posing who cares if you wear glasses, it's better that than bumping on everyone and everything around you lol)

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

Yeah, it would suck to not be able to see or read any signs.

Lol ya, I'm probably as blind as you without my contact lenses or glasses so I know how it is, you need them to walk lol. Though I did enter a masquerade without any contact lenses on because they were killing my eyes at the end of the day (some theatrical Sephiroth contact lenses that I shall never wear for more than 8 hours anymore), and I actually managed not to trip on the stage...I still don't know how I managed though, but at least I didn't see the people in the audience xDD

what about temporary contacts? or do you not wear them?

Well, I believe it's not everyone that likes to poke their eyes when wearing them xD

Personally I wear the monthly ones, but my eyes were "à la Total Recall" back then so I decided to give them a rest lol.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

@ Nefer - Yeah, being blind sucks.
Congrats on not tripping.

@ Chocobo - I am one who does not like to poke at my eyes.

Just Batty saying good morning, everyone. <3

Worse than before.

What's wrong?

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

As signature says, I am still not up for talking about it.

Ah, sorry.
Well, I hope you feel better. :c

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

Thanks, probably not anytime soon though.

Good afternoon Batty =) I went with my boyfriend's mom to her office today and helped out. She is in real estate and I'd like to get into it too.

Well I was internetless for almost 24 hours. o.o
Then my sheer force of WILL made it come back.

LOL, nice J. S. xD

I LOVE your avatar, JS!
