The hardest part about cosplay is finding locations for photo shoots. I'm trying to find abandoned sites and gardens and stuff, but there is literally nothing around where I live!

Guess who's not going to be lazy and order their wigs, finally?
Me.


^^ But adding on to bandit
Photo shoots are really fun, I have a golf course with a really pretty lake and bridge in my backyard. When the golfers aren't on it I sometimes get some friends and we take some "professional" photos, then sometimes we goof around with the photos

[bandit;]

Same, though! Whose being lazy and not ordering cosplay boots? Me!

There are plenty of places that are great around here, actually, it's just up to my mum to take me... There are some really pretty Japanese gardens closeby, and a lot of brick buildings and things. I think my biggest worry is being seen in public cosplaying, which is kind of awkward...

What I'd absolutely love to find is an abandoned theater around here, or maybe a Victorian-like place to do a photo shoot at.

Oh, it's so annoying...

Or skyscrapers/futuristic things xD

I'm screaming 'cause you have Green Day in your sig, Tadashi...
But, yeah. That won't work so well for Grell, who lives in Victorian era London. >.<
We haven't got any skyscrapers around here!

[bandit;]

*screams* Oh my goodness, hello! Love the new makeover, Grell is my queen of fruits! <3

You must be a pretty avid cosplayer, then! I don't even belong to a group... let alone have money to go to London after actually buying the cosplay! What state (or province, or place in general ??) do you live in, with all those great locations? That's totally rad!

Oh, nice! I live in a itsy bitsy little town in the middle of nowhere, in Idaho, in the USA. There's nothing here. It's almost depressing.

I would get a band of cosplayers together, but I'd just be afraid that I'd be doing all the work. Either that, or I'd be much too bossy and give myself all the work... I do pair up with my brother, though. He's going as William with me while I go as Grell to the next convention. c:

Trying to make up a list of what I need to buy for cosplay... it's so hard.

I know that I need the Kyoko Sakura boots, but I don't know what else...

[bandit;]

Just did a photoshoot with my Grell cosplay... message me if you'd like to see!

[bandit;]

The jacket, or the whole uniform? That's a really good deal!

I really need to buy my cosplay, but like... manga? or cosplay?? ugghhh
