I hope you don't mind me asking but where did you get your wig for Max? I'm having trouble finding a good one for her

I ended buying this one last minute because the one I actually ordered for her wasn’t going to make it in time and it ended up working pretty well.  :) 

[dersedreamer]

Hello! Sorry if this is a bother but I was wondering if for your Asuka wig you had to buy clip extensions or did you just work with the wig you bought? btw is it an arda wig?

Hello!  It came with clip extensions already, I got it here.  :)

[dersedreamer]

Oh gosh can I ask you where you got your sharingan contacts and sasuke wig??? You are absolutely perfect as him I will never get over it ;w;

Hello!  Thank you so much, he’s fun to cosplay especially since people find it nostalgic.  :)  Anywho, this is the wig I got for Sasuke and these are the contacts I bought!

Shooting Life Is Strange with my sweet Max @heichousan It’s gonna be hella

[dersedreamer]

Filled with determination!

[dersedreamer]

what con are you cosplaying life is strange at? :o

Youmacon, although I’m sure I’ll re-wear it throughout the year to other cons.

[dersedreamer]

pardon me asking (i hope this question doesn't make you uncomfortable) but damn alex how are you in such top physical condition

Haha, I wouldn’t say top I have goals I’m still trying to meet but I really starting getting into exercising after deciding to cosplay Yoko at Katsu last year.  I’ve always been in pretty good shape, or at least petite but never like… toned/muscular?  I’ve kept it up since then and feel better about myself every day!  My work has a gym so I try and make it there at least 3 or 4 days a week where I usually run 4 miles and then lift or do body weight exercises.  I also walk at least 1.5-2 miles on my lunch break every day.  I try and eat healthy when I can, I don’t really do junk food, pop and stuff like that so it helps a lot!  Just getting out a exercising a little bit every day makes a big difference overall!  :)

I was wondering if you could move around cons with those wings and were they detachable for crowded places? I really want to know because I want to make wings =)

Hello!  I only wore my wings to a con once for an hour or so.  I couldn’t really move far very quickly I just stood to one side in the hallway for the most part but I didn’t really make those wings with the intention of walking around a con in them lol.  And yes they are detachable for easy maneuvering!  If you read my tutorial here it talks about how they detach.  :)  Best of luck making wings!  

[dersedreamer]

I love your cosplays so much *-* but i have one question: where did you get your mikasa wig?

Hello and thank you!  I got my regular Mikasa wig here and my child Mikasa wig here just because I’m not sure which one you are asking about.  My older Mikasa wig is great, the younger one is a very dark grey which I’m actually not very fond of so I would probably look elsewhere unless that’s what you’re going for.  Hope that helps!  :3

Hello, Alex. Russia loves you ;-; <3 I want to know if you made any tutorial for your A. B. A. cosplay that big yellow key omg! and your Yoko gun!!! That's my fav cosplays of yours you're so amazing! Please if you bought it, send me the link. Thank you.

Hello and thank you for the kind words!  ;w;  No I don’t have any tutorials for A.B.A. unfortunately that costume is really old haha.  Paracelsus (the key), I made myself (it’s all woodworking so unless you have a wood shop I would probably try other avenue but I’d be happy to answer specific questions if you have them!) and the Yoko gun my friend kitsukat was kind enough to let me borrow hers for a day!
