Somebody hit me, please

I am once again contemplating attempting Seishirou's kimono from the wedding pic (curiously, is there a reason it's called that?)

This is bad. I swore I would never do those outfits, as I would kill both myself and my wallet getting them done. But...they're so pretty, and the dyeing and painting would be an intresting challenge...

...Okay. I'm going to go hit my head against something until I can convince myself that this is a Bad Idea.

You always sound like you make very good efforts on all your costumes, so I would rather support you ^^;;

As for why it's called that....I don't know who started it, but I like to think of it as how they are dolled up, the red thread and...just their expressions. It feels calm...I guess ^.^ Yeah, so I have no clue.

And a while back, someone had written a bunch of 'vows' on the picture, too. Like over a year ago. Eh ^^;;

Because those would be wedding kimono ;). Hence the white, the only other occaision one would wear it outside of his onmyouji job- he's either dead or getting married.

I'm only aware of a woman's wedding kimono, so thanks for clearing that up ^.^ I learned something new too~~ XD XD

Snk. Well, yes, it's the woman that wears the white kimono. Sei's wearing the man's.

I'd be a little curious if it was the other way around >.> Though these days, it's become...more of a suit-n-tie affair, hasn't it? I haven't really peeked deeply into Japanese weddings, not recently anyway.

Depends. A lot of weddings are done with the suit-and-tie, white dress, Christian-style because it's cheaper. Others have the shinto ceremony, but dress in Western clothing for the reception. I did a fair amount of research on it for a fic I'm writing, you see.. but I'm still looking for on more component ;).

I'm just amused that apparently a Christian wedding is the cheap way to go. Though, in my opinion, there's not a lot of...colour to it anyway. But anyway, sankyuu~ *^.^*

Well, given that more Japanese weddings cost around 30,000 dollars, if my calculations are correct. It helps that the guests are expected to give around 200-300 dollars each, I suppose.

Helps, if you have a Hellish list of people to invite. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Interesting ^^ I wasn't sure if that's what it was, or if there was something else that gave it that name. Thank you ^^

Unless by 'support' you mean 'come and help me with the hours of handpainting', that costume is practically cosplay suicide. I almost killed myself doing two shikifuku in one year, and that is ten times worse ^^ Someday, maybe. But thank you for the vote of confidence ^^ (Have I even ever pimped you any of my costume pics? I can't remember, they're one of my few creations I love showing off ^^;)

Heh, support as in I'll sit here and, uh, cheer XD I couldn't handpaint to save my life, I think x_x;;

You have not and I'm going to quite possibly demand you do since the only picture I even remember that would be cosplay would be from that layout you had.

*grins* If you want the amusing commentary, catch me on AIM. If not...well, I can just leave you the link or something ^^

Eeee, all the school people are up now. *scurries to bed*
