Masaomi - Wig

So, despite having all the fabric in the world for Masaomi (both costumes)... I've been working on his wig for about a week now.
I was inspired by a cosmode magazine that I picked up last summer to think about combining wigs to make styles/color combinations that aren't available. Masaomi turned out to be the perfect opportunity.
I started with a fun flip (blue) and a Rod (blue). The fun flip isn't /as/ bad as it looks in the cosworx picture, but it's perfect for Atobe or Eiji and NOT for Masaomi. Hence the Rod. After planning and agonizing a bit, I started cutting wefts out of the rod. A 'weft' is a chunk of hair on a single strand of the wig... it makes sense once you start doing it.

This technique will hopefully continue to be usefull. Especially considering that Tomomori and Shigehira/Shirogane will probably both need eartails added to their wigs. -_-;;


I'm hoping to pry myself out of bed Saturday morning in time to go into work before open and lay out Masaomi's red kimono and lining for cutting. I might also do it tomorrow at/after close. We'll see how motivated I am.

I'm starting to think of Detour as something that I'm aiming for. Which is a nice thought. I should really just suck it up and register... that would hopefully scare me into behaving and saving up a little money.

Because that was something productive to do with my evening.

Go through the list and check off the titles you have watched. For our purposes, "watching" a title means that for TV and OVA series, you have to have seen at least one episode. For one-shots, you have to have seen the whole thing. At the end of each genre/category, add up your sub-total. At the very end, add up the sub-totals to come up with your grand total. If your grand total is 80 or over, congratulations -- you are an obsessive anime watcher!

An Editor's Note: not all the titles listed here are great, and some are even steaming piles of crap. Titles on the list are here because they are either 1) genuinely good, 2) insanely popular, 3) good examples of the genre, or 4) just plain notorious. Good anime obsessives should be able to watch series with any of those qualities.

(And YES, even if you accidentially/forced to watch it, it counts...)
( This... is disturbing. )

Grand total: 124 (98 if you don't count my '-' ones with only an episode or so seen...)

I... will be over here now. Sleeping. What's sad is that I can think of shows that could be on there that I've seen some or all of. Like Hachiyousho and the Ange series. And Corda. The Haruka OVA, the settokai shikkobu ovas, sensitive pornograph and kodocha.... there are others. Like Nerima Daikon Brothers and Martian Successor Nadeshiko and Kenranbutousai THE MARS DAYBREAK and Darker than Black and....

This is the story of a wig

Or rather, a wig equation... it goes like this...

Anyway, tomorrow will hopefully be a day of working on kimono with a possible break to shop for boots, purple stuff and muslin to pattern pants and jacket. I'd like to get his black shirt done this weekend as well. We'll see.
