gypseian: I’ve had a surprising number of questions about the invisible shoes that I made for my Jack Frost costume.  So, by request, here’s a step-by-step tutorial! Many popular costumes call for bare feet (Jack Frost, L, Toph, Medusa, Radical Edward and Inuyasha, to name a few) — but running around barefoot is unsafe, unsanitary and forbidden by many public health codes and venue policies. These “invisible” shoes will keep your feet safely off the floor without spoiling the barefooted look of your costume. Best of all, they’re easy to make and cost only a few dollars!

behindinfinity: Yondaime says: Never fight with your friends over cosplay. There is nothing about this dress-up hobby that is worth losing a real friendship. I have for a long while wanted to address some issues related to cosplay. I figured I could be a little humorous about it and do a “Yondaime Says” series of photos, hahah. But yeah, kidding aside:This might sound silly to some of you, but it’s something that actually happens. And it makes me sad when I hear about it, because other people out there want so badly to have friends with whom they can share this hobby. You’re already pretty lucky if you have a group you can cosplay with.My friends and I decided way back that if we ever started fighting because of cosplay then we’d better just quit. We cosplay because we enjoy helping each other with costumes and wearing them out together. If we’re not having fun then cosplay has lost its purpose. If it has become something that is pushing us apart then it would mean we are losing track of what’s really important.Fight for your friends, not against them.

Here is a list of websites I’ve compiled that all sell wigs that you can buy for your cosplays. I’ve looked on all of the websites here, and they all have good wigs, although some of them have a mix of good and bad wigs, so you may need to see for yourself which wigs look nice. But hey, you’re already doing that.
