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.

Snk. *nods at icon* Sure they do. They're terrible manly ;).

Considering purple was the color of royalty a few centuries ago, yes, they are rather manly ^^ I'm entirely on Nicole's side on this one, I think ^^

If Seishirou lived a few centuries ago, that would be an issue, I suppose. But seeing as he doesn't... well, the effect of the purple is less regal, and more... how you say... flaming.

::shakes head::

It's okay if you can't wear purple, honey.

Not everyone can pull off modern fashion with enough flare.

"Flaming" would be orange. Purple is fine for modern business. But I didn't expect everyone to be as up on high-class fashion as I am.

Who spent hours in Men's Clothing stores, doing research, and over $1,000 on their Sei costume? Yeah, that's what I thought...

::coughvaluevillagecough::

Not enough research to actually go and read the manga, it seems. By far and wide, most often he wears black and white, just as I do.

Shame on the accuracy, though. Same reason I couldn't find it in myself to 'pull off' such a 'classy' wig, either, I suppose.

Seishirou certainly wears one of those.

Hah...

The wig was cool, if not accurate, which I have redeemed since then.

Man, you really are insecure if you take a conversation about whether or not Sei would wear a purple tie and turn into a personal assault against one's costume.

And yeah, I love wigs. I also love my hair, which is why I don't torture it with vicious haircuts and hair dye for all the costumes I do. Well, except for Kiba...that guy BUTCHERED my hair. >.>;; Which only re-enforces my desire to use wigs.

Nah, just pointing out that if you really want to talk canon, I've got the vast majority of scenes to pick from for mine- accuracy is the thing, hence the hair cut.

And my hair? Already short, and now gloriously soft and shiny ;).

::rolls eyes::

I'm sure it is.

And you keep talking like the purple tie is the ONLY thing I wear. I have your "canon" outfit, too, you know...black tie and short black hair (excuse me, wig) and all.

I'm just a more versatile Seishirou than you. I adapt and blend into any situation :D

[identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org 2003-12-04 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Tch. You're more versatile period, as am I, as Ari here only does X Seishirou ^^ We do other costumes. Thus, wigs are neccesary. I think I continue to remain on your side here, Nicole ^^

[identity profile] ext_25570 (from dreamwidth.org) 2003-12-04 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
And the black and white's not the only suit/tie combo I own, either? Funny that. And I have the shikifuku, I might add. And I've done TB.

Bah, I do wigs with other costumes. Seishirou is the most important one for me.

[identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org 2003-12-04 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have the shikifuku, Clare does. You just wear it ^^ And, um, what other costumes, as of yet ^^? Unless you count crappy!Sepiroth, but you've already heard me out on that one ^^

[identity profile] ext_25570 (from dreamwidth.org) 2003-12-04 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... dude? I freely admit that I can't sew. But Clare didn't sew it either- and I bought the materials and such.

So I guess your definition of cosplayer is not the person that wears the clothes, but the one that makes them? Then yeah, I have X Seishirou and Sephiroth. And Clare's mom has the shikifuku. But I own it.

Heh. Nice to know I have not one but _two_ Seishirou cosplayers threatened by my good looks and charm, though ;).

[identity profile] momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org 2003-12-05 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you go by craftsmanship judging guidlines, the one wearing the costume gets a pat on the back and some photos taken, and the one that made it gets the prize ^^ I tend to think of the cosplayer as the one who puts the costume together and wears it, which doesn't really work so well here. My point was more credit where it's due ^^

And I'm not feeling at all threatened, just particularly annoying today ^^ But Nicole is right, it's probably about time to put this particular debate to rest ^^ I can find something else to amuse me torrow, I suppose.

[identity profile] ext_70386 (from dreamwidth.org) 2003-12-04 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)

Yeah, but the point being, -I- wasn't the one harping on how important is it was to be "canon" Seishirou.

I was just pointing out that I own "canon" Seishirou as well, plus more. Which, apparently, you do, too.

...

What were we arguing about again?

I think it's time to put this thread to bed...

Probably ;).
