Is anyone planning on going to Anime South in December? In Florida?

December is a very harsh month as far as travelling goes. @_@;
Definitely not going, sorry. D=

Actually, not particularly. But I am saving up for the trip! I've got a high school buddy I haven't seen since graduation that is talking me into going. It's not that far from my hometown in SC (then again, I'm used to eight-hour drives, and that's what it is), which's where I'll be in December. I live most of the year in BFE, Virginia.
WE SHOULD SO GO! I'm excited. I was pondering either being someone from this strip, girl-type Ranma, or Yomiko Readman from Read or Die.

Not a lot of people do ROD cosplay, from my experience. It might be refreshing to do something like that. I'm debating Full Metal Panic for Fan Expo, but that depends on whether or not I take the time to actually go out and get fabric. I've been to SC! I was in Myrtle Beach for a dance competition a few years ago. Nice area, but too many poisonous/dangerous critters for my taste.

I've only been to Myrtle Beach once, and wasn't totally impressed. Of course, it could have been the company I was with, but...meh. IMHO, Charleston >>>>WAY>>>> Myrtle Beach. It's more natural and historic and like, not mutant. And perty.

I like historic. I shall have to go there sometime. Historic is fun. Particularly when it comes with fun architecture. I have a very pressing urge to go to Louisiana.

I've been wanting to do a cosplay of Haruhi from Ouran High Host Club, but it seems like there's so many that I'd just be a part of a hoard of Haruhis.
Saving the money to come down here is definitely worth it. Pensacola, Navarre and Destin are all very beautiful. There's some areas that are still pretty shredded from the hurricanes, but most of all the beaches and surrounding areas have rebuilt pretty quickly.

Host Club cosplay definitely is everywhere. However, if you want to stand out from the crowd: GET THE BLOODY JACKET COLOUR RIGHT! Honestly, you walk into a con, and the jackets there are every shade of blue -except- the proper one. It drives me absolutely nuts. And I don't know about down there, but up here people tend to do Tamaki more than any other character.

I've seen a lot of the twins and Haruhi, down here. But I'm a perfectionist when it comes to cosplay. I won't cosplay someone if I don't think I can make myself actually look like them. Some people are like "YEAH, I'M SUCH-AND-SUCH SCRAWNY OR MUSCULAR CHARACTER" and they just can't pull it off, because they look nothing like the character? And yeah, the jackets bother me sososososo much. Some people don't even put the school's logo on it. But what actually bothers me the most is wigs? I've only seen two good wigs. The rest are styled so poorly that they can make a good cosplay look terrible.

Wigs are usually done poorly (exception: Vampirates cosplay! Your wigs were totally awesome). Particularly if the cosplayer seems to be under the age of 16. I find most of the younger cosplayers don't have particularly good costumes, probably because they're heavily on funds from parents to have said costume.

I've decided to just cut & dye my hair like Haruhi's, (If I do the cosplay. But I normally keep it cut like her's is, anyways...) since I'm having to save all my paychecks for my trip to Europe next summer. Traveling is sucking all my anime & manga funds dry. :x It's to the point that I don't think I'm even going to have the funds to go to the Convention. XD
