$30 for a long haired wig? Not bad. If you have a mannequin head, you can trim it up and style it to the character's hair style.

Precisely. And even that's just an average price - you might be able to find something even cheaper if you're lucky.

I'm glad.

The best cosplay I ever did was the Invisible Man, and I spent less than $5 on it. I scraped up most of the pieces from around my house. An ace bandage, semi-nice pants, trench coat I got for free, and some giant sunglasses I found at a thrift store replaced the shaded goggles I used before. And a brimmed hat I found lying around. I've never been to a con but our local theatre has this thing during the summer where they show old horror films for free one night a week on the big screen, and my friends made me go dressed as the Invisible Man once and I was a big hit so I went that way ever since. I've even had people take pictures with me. Quite a lot of fun.

On one such night we stopped to get gas on the way home, and I'm sitting in full costume in the passenger's seat, and there was a police officer there. He was just chatting with the guy at the counter, and they both looked out the window and spotted me. I guess word gets around because they recognized the costume and laughed. Which I was grateful for, it would have been terribly embarrassing to get arrested for looking sketchy. Especially since the real Invisible Man was a psychopath.

But yeah, costumes are fun. I want to make an Assassin's Creed one sometime.

I'm going to spend the summer making a costume, but I'm still stuck on who exactly I want to be. Money or supplies is not an issue.

Might do Stannis Baratheon or Zaeed Massani

Hey, if you can't decide who to be, go as Darthbatman. Or in your case, a mix of both Stannis and Zaeed.

If you like that kind of attention and recognition then you should totally try a convention. A lot of the cosplay shenanigans that happen work a lot like that, except far more people will understand who/what you're supposed to be.

I've always wanted to go. There's one coming to the Cities in at the end of October, I really hope I can get away from school for it.

Me, my brother, and my friend Lauren are going in October. Remind me nearer the time, we can meet up. Cons are such a great place to meet people.
