So today I went to the post office after school and picked up two packages. It was a white juban and a new wig I will use for season 2 (aka short hair version) Hijikata from Hakuouki. Funny thing is I was searching for a Hijikata specific wig but didn't find anything I thought looked just right so I wondered "what other characters have a similar hairstyle as Hijikata?" and BOOM instantly Sebastian Michaelis from
Kuroshitsuji popped into my mind.

I found a Sebastian wig I thought looked really nice and it wasn't very expensive either so I bought it for Hijikata. Now I must admit there is something about
Kuroshitsuji which captures my interest; I've been feeling for quite some time now that I want to watch it
even though it's rather mainstream. Also I heard from
Sairu-chan not so long ago that she already has a Ciel cosplay and a
Kuroshitsuji cosplay group planned with her friends who live around northern Finland. Group cosplays are always great so that is even more a reason to watch
Kuroshitsuji so I could hang around with them in some northern con.. not to mention I've always liked Sebastian's design - red eyes
me gusta mucho!!, hairstyle, "penguin coat" lol
(seriously I want a coat like that.. if I do him a get a reason to make one hohoho~) and yeah, there just is something interesting about him. If I now watch
Kuroshitsuji and end up liking Sebastian I will do him, I would already have the wig too and I need to buy red contacts anyway
*coughrasetsucough* so I would get more use out of them also. XD We will see ~
I tried the wig on quickly
(read: no cosplay make-up) after I got home. At first I was all "not sure if gusta" but after I arranged the fibers around a bit it was rather awesome.
I also went to Eurokangas with mom before getting home and she bought me some fabric for
Sengoku Basara's Masamune Date cosplay. I will use this fabric for the coat and pants.

The fabric is some kind of denim with 5% elastane and it has this.. interesting touch to the surface; a bit like it would have a thin coat of some kind of plastic on it. It is also a bit heavier and drapes rather well. I think it will be great for Masamune's coat especially. I just really need to start working on this cosplay for real; it needs to be done and documented before next summer vacation
I'm going to die.
If you remember it was a school project so it's really important I get this done in time before I graduate.
