Well, my friend and i are going to this Australian Con called SupaNova and we were just going to look but my crazy friend wants us to dress up now:(. I was thinking of going as someone like L but now i dunno, not a successful dresser upper, any suggestions!?!
Just take a look at what you have or can afford then pick a character that you know and like and you will be fine. When i go to Utah's Anime Bonzai i go as my own version of sephiroth where he is gay.. LOL its really fun and everyone loves it!
