Sayonara dudez

I'm writing to tell you that these bananas are going to be on the more tropical zones for a while^^

Gotta be careful not to be overiped:---dd

This is the Tropic we're going to:
¨


Oh the lovely azores^^

Since this is a cosplay blog, I'll tell you some Grrrrrrrreatt newz

Our wigs have finally arrived and after our holiday we will post a wig-styling tutorial for this guys hair (Haine Rammsteiner, DOGS)


My wig has also arrived and it is AWESOME I already straigtened it but will not do a tutorial out of it since my wig had a heat resistance on it and I just simply used a hair straightener:D (with small temperature of course;3)

But now, I will say Hasta la Vista and escape to this tropical paradise called Azores!

P.S We'll post you some holiday pics too so you can be jealous WAHAHAH

duhh..

Itachi can't have boobs, can he?

Here we come, the favourite problem of cosplayer girls!
We all have tried to bind in hell of a many ways! But in the end of a con..BOOBS they come!

My favourite so far has been the duct tape, it is useful in so many ways..but in the end of a con..OUCH! The second is roll bandage and support bandage..they just keep draining down..gosh

The only thing that actually works is the OSB (open shirt binding) but then again..what a pain..

I'm glad to tell you that there are a few solutions that work;) Today i did a tutorial of making a duct tape corset...such a drag to do but oh so nice to use!

You can also order binding shirts but they cost pretty much...eww, says my wallet.

BUT! let's get started..

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

- LOTS OF DUCT TAPE!
- an old shirt
- scissors
- a strong rope
- pins
- a little bit of any fabric (not crucial)
- sail staplers..(I did not find any..see my way out)
- PATIENCE
- Patch..
- Blood.
- FFFUUU-face...
_ *__'

Yeah, lets see how I dealt with the sail staplers..

I got to my daddys locker..it is such a wonderland!


and I found..

They will do:)

Next came the funny part..wearing the lovely kittycat shirt and wrapping it full of duct tape..just wrap it so it binds everything that you want:D


Then cut it from the middle FRONT!


next thing is to cut away the extra fabric and strengthen it a little more with duct tape, then cut it to half again (so you can get some marterial off from it). It should be looking something like this...


Next, tape the parts together, a little lapped so the size will decrease.


Then just simply make some holes to it, and put the sail staplers or if you don't..

just put something to strengthen them holes..

Then put up the strings..


Be careful!


as they say "cosplay without pain is a sham"

Finish the corset by taping the ends of the strings so they wont start to unravel of leave the string holes..


voila..here is a little crappy picture of this corset under the shirt..


Yeah..that is it for now..I think we'll update once more before our trip to azores;)

we'll be away for a week by then:D

to end this entry in a HOT way, here is a picture of poke without make-up on..


BEAUTIFUL, OH

Yours, sincerely

Momo

Momo is a nail addict.

POKE IS ON FIREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so.
I decided to tell you something about Momo.
Since Momo has no clue about me actually writing this right now I'm able to tell all the dirty stuff without Momo bossing around HAHAH GOTCHA MOMO!!!

So, who Momo actually is?

Momo is my twin sister,she's 12 minutes YOUNGER than me so I'm the BIG SIS!!

Right now she's in her room doing nails..yes she's doing nails.

Momo is a nail addict.

She has tons of different nail-stuff..nail polish, tips, fake nails, jewellery and even UV-oven.
If you see Momo with "original nails" ( at this case nails that are only painted with nail polish..) you must pinch yourself.
I can't find photos of momo with nails BUT I can always show you MY NAILS!!
made by momo ofc.



I KNOW! I LOVE THEM TOO!!

...I mean yeah, Momo is getting pretty good with nails.

This is Momo's nail box.




or..part of it. I was very ninja and took it (picture) while Momo was away from her room.

well, what else should(n't) I tell you...

OH YEAH MOMOS ANOTHER WEAKNESS...surprise it's SHOES.

She has like 14 pairs of HIGH HEELS.
I don't really get it..ok, I do love high heels too BUT
Momo owns 4 pairs of red high heels, not to mention other colours..



OH NO I GOT CAUGHT!!!!!!!

EVIL MOMO ATTACKK NOOOOOOOO!!!!

I wasn't ninja enough to capture photo of her shoes :(

well.. SHE CAN'T STOP ME!!!

I don't think there's more to tell..

WL: Poke who's still alive.

PS.

Momo always dances like this.

Badou's eyepatch tutorial

Hellojello~

I can see some new readers woah..cool.. We are very thankful:D

Anyway, I'm actually going to do a tutorial of Badou's eyepatch

Equipment needed:
- The lenses of old sunglasses (in my case, broken ones)
- Black leather (found it from our fabric box)
- Hot glue (mmmm, yummyyyy~~)
- Black elastic band (enough to get it twice around your head)
- Nail file (Or sandpaper, I just happen to have a "few" nail files..)
- Scissors



So, at first you should take the lense that goes to your right eye and roughen it with a nail file



Then cut a piece of leather to cover the lense, attach the elastic band and use hot glue to get it all done (I don't have any pictures so use your imagination^^)

and voila, you are ready! (you can see the picture of the eyepatch in one of our earlier blog entrys^^)

Yeah, that was it:D

So, to add some nonsense stuff here...Last weekend we met our friend Laura. The actual reason of meeting her was to see these cuties^^



HOW CUTE ARE THEY??? *melts* ^

Speaking of dogs, (despite the fact that it is the serie we are now cosplaying) this is our own sweetie, Pekka ♥



So, this is it for now..BTW do you like our new layout?

P.S Poke, this is my revenge;



WAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Better sooner than late!!

Hello again!

We haven't been updating for few days BUT things have gone forward!


I have got Haines jacket/whatever you call it to actually look like a jacket!!


Of course it's not ready yet but I'm looking forward to get it done during this week!

Speaking about this week (I mean next week since it's Sunday after all) we are expecting our wigs to arrive!
They should be there between 16th and the 26th of February so...soonsoonsoon!

I also got my shoes (almost) done!

I don't happen to have a picture now but heres some making of photos!




Ugliest shoes EVER!! but that's the base for...





THE SPIKES YAYYY, so I forced Momo to do them...and they turned out looks kinda good!
I..I mean momo..made them out of DAS-mass which I had as a christmas present..yayy



Next part was painting the soles with red paint and agin I forced momo to do it!
she did it with nail polish..



I actually think she did the painting before spikes but..I WAS SEWING BY THEN I COULDN'T SEE WHAT SHE WAS DOING!!



soo, after the spikes were dry I painted them! and these are the ALMOST ready shoes, there will be some kind of shoe in on them but imma make it laterr ( or force momo to do it BD)



BTW. now it's my turn to say that momo hasn't done anything at all!
(for her outfit, I mean after all..she did the biggest part with the spikes and stuff)


Momo: My outfit is ready jk.

...didn't see that coming..

well, while waiting the wigs I guess we'll focus to our Sasuke and Suigetsu cosplay.

(now it's my turn to say my outfit is ready jk.)

Momo: how about that shirt of yours? and a wig? *sarcastic face*

ok..what's wrong with the current shirt..there's only blood on it..and jelly..and foundation..and..rasberry juice..yeah..

AND I HAVE A WIG..only..it..well..yeah..

whatever.

Momo vs. Poke 2-0

I lost :CC

my face^^

with love:

Poke

ps.



you're welcome momo n__n

My fingers bleed, my wrist hurts

Today's been the day number two of working our Badou Nails and Haine Rammsteiner cosplays.

To me, Momo, the situation looks kinda good. I got my coat ready today and also the eye patch is now done. Actually the only thing I'm lacking is the wig,which is already ordered and on its way from Hong Kong to Finland:))

While I got it all ready (NO, ignore the fact I got a day off^^) Poke has only succeeded to cutting and is now sewing the fabric parts on their places.

Here is a little of what we have done...

Usually, creating a costume is a great process. To put it briefly, we tend to do it on 5 parts.

1. Choose the character!
Usually the easiest part, because when you see THE character, you know it's the right one.

2. Search for information
Google your character, get to know all the dirty secrets and funny facts of it and what is more important find a good picture of it or two so you can see the outfit from every angle.

3. Plan!
Go to ebay or some other wig selling site and find a wig that suits to your character, make a budget to your costume and try to draw it. Ordering the wig is very important 'cause it usually takes weeks to arrive. MAKE A SCHEDULE! Also, search patterns from the internet and magazines to find good ones to use. NOTE! You will never find ready patterns for your Akatsuki cloak or Organisation coat, deal with it. Patterns are adjustable, if you can't adjust them to your purpose, ask for help!
If your character has a gun or a sword or watermelon or whatever, try and decide whether to do it yourself or to buy a ready one TIP! You can always find tutorials online!

Finding patterns...

Or Poke style, make them yourself!




4. The Funny Part; Cutting, sewing, cursing, masochism,headache
Go to the fabric store and find fabrics to you outfit, ask for help if you can't find what you need, they are there for you!
Once you are at home with all the Fabric and stuff start by cutting it and then sew and so on...

Poke's Haine coat on process..



And Badou coat DONE! WAHAHAH





Then go to secondhand shops and Cheap stores to find the shoes and other nice thingys~~

Style wig if needed (we'll add the tutorial of wig styling and also Badous eyepatch later on..)

5. Shine (suffer) like a star!

Go to the con and have fun! but be careful and be prepared with Aspirin,Plaster,gypsum and phone with 911!

Well, that's it for today

Be Bananas, Be beautiful

Momo
