A Kodak Eternity

CONS! GOTTA LURVE THEM! This will teach you how to prepare and present yourself for your con. Now that you've bought a hotel room and your ready to cosplay, I help you though the best part of a cosplayer's career.

Emergency Tools

When your Chii ears are coming off of their headband, always be equipped with the following stuff:

• anything you used to make your costume in travel-sized versions
• make-up, to put in pockets or handbag for emergencies
• Safety pins
• Muslin and acrylic paint for patching holes
• duct tape (this has saved a cosplayers life many times)
• sewing kit
• cell phone ("ANNA! MY WHIP BROKE!")

The Night Before

CHECK FOR EVERYTHING, and those stupid, last-minute rushes. Buy your extra supplies and set your clock up early to get dressed and get on line for a pass. Get some sleep. Lots of it. You'll be awake long enough.

Presentation

Work on some catchphrases and poses from your anime or video game. Have at least three different poses for photos, so if they accumulate on the internet, you won't look like you were Photoshop-ed in. Limit onstage performances to under 15 seconds, unless it's for masterquade. Try not to be too much like your character, because although we love Auron, we still want to hear you.

Food to eat

Under no circumstances should you not eat. Cosplaying in a white costume, however, needs to be worked around. Try not to eat greasy stuff so you can pick up your staff and don't stain anything. Have bars or wrapped snack-packs with you. These can be used to escape glompers, too.

Having Fun!

Poke people! Buy Pocky! Play DDR! Run though the halls screaming" LUKE! I AM YOUR FATHER Just go nuts in every possible way. This is your time to screw all the pain of making your costume! YAY!
