Do you know any paints that work on vinyl? I need to paint some pleather for a costume. I tried googling it but all I found was regular spray paint and stuff that was specifically for car seats that was very expensive and didn't have a lot of color variety

Heyo, long time no see on this blog. Long overdue response, but a personal preference on leather paint is the brand Angelus! I've used it on bags, shoes, etc! You do need to give it proper drying time to prevent it from drying sticky, but it works wonders.

As we salute one decade goodbye and welcome in a new one, may we recommend at least one New Year’s Resolution:

Wear a goddamn wig cap.

Hi ! I'm cosplaying a long haired Todoroki Shouto from My Hero Academia and my wig just arrived, but it's a bit tangled. Usually I let messy wigs in hot water with fabric softener for a few hours, but I'm usure if that's the best method for this one ? The wig is both white and red, split evenly in the middle, and I'm scared that by putting it in hot water the red synthetic dye might stain the white one. Could this happen ? If so, what other method could I use to detangle it ? Thank you ❤️❤️!!

So I’m gonna guess that this Todoroki wig is one of the long versions, since the character himself doesn’t have long hair. Personally, I’ve never had the color from a synthetic fiber wig bleed, but I understand the concern! Couple things you can try:

- Get a wide toothed comb or doll hair brush (specifically one meant for dolls; the teeth on the brushes are widely spaced and intended for synthetic hair. Starting from the BOTTOM of the wig, start brushing it out a little bit at a time, and work your way up. This is my personal go to.

- If there’s any sizeable tangles, see if you’re able to separate them jusy with your fingers.

- If you’d still like to do the soak trick, prep a small bath of your normal solution, but only dip an inch or two of the wig into the bath. This should test the potential for color bleeding, and if it doesn’t, you should be good to do the whole wig!

All ya’ll mystic messenger trash should consider this:

Step 1 - Put together cosplays of each of the characters. Step 2 - Go out on the con floor as one of them. Step 3 - Court the ladies. Step 4 - Disappear and “reset” into the next cosplay. Step 5 - Court the ladies again, but as if you’ve never met them before. Step 6 - Repeat.
