Monkey Monsters Cosplay has just been dealt with the devastating blow of losing their son prematurely. They've been given a tight leash in which to help pay for his cremation and funeral/memorial. And as always in these emergencies; no one is working so money is just as tight. Please assist these wonderful people if you can. Especially if you enjoyed seeing images of Cholo Skywalker, Arturito (R2D2) and Princess Chola on here, Facebook or anywhere else.

Hellooooooooo Everyone~! This is Red!! Where Miss Hatter was at NerdCon this weekend... I was a lil up north at Comic Con Palm Springs!!

I wasn’t able to have my armor on long enough at SDCC (20 Mins).. Nor CCPS (45mins) But I have seen what I need to redo, and adjust for the next attempt at armor.

Not bad for my first run at Worbla/armor right??

The Image was taken by the Lovely Team who manned Hero Wares n Supplies.

PS! The armor is... well dead. The 104f weather while waiting in line outside and such warped the armor...

Let's play a game. Take a photo of a very rough cosplay wip. Then give a vague situation that said character was in and hope we get it! Here's mine: Space Deity has moral heart to heart talk with sentient tree.

Spring is here so it's time to build our summer cosplay! This year I'm focusing on building a viera from Final Fantasy! Using the fencer class and Fran (and her sisters) as my stylistic starting point. Here's what I have so far! Tonight I got the ears 85% done gotta paint the ear tips black. Sword is going to get sanded, wood filler and sanded again to fix a few things. The handle/pommel is just about there too. Wig is a Luthien from Arda wigs jn titanium blonde. I'm going to style the bangs to be super side swept and possibly asymmetrical too. Also going to buy and add wefts for extra volume and a ponytail clip for volume/flow/fun. The photo with the red wig me trying a helmet pattern from Kamui Cosplay. Being adjusted atm. Next is body armor and dress! -Hatter

Y'all cosplayers are grown ass mofos. I don’t care if you’re under 16, 18, 21 or what. If you have a social media account that you use to harass cosplayers who do not have “the cosplay gene” and you know what you are doing is hurtful and WRONG…

You are grown. And grown folks get popped in the face.

There is absolutely no reason to put someone down or force your unwanted negative busted ads opinion upon them and the good time they’re trying to have.

Grow up

A preview of my quick rant about #cosplaybullying. Basically this is the crux of the whole video but when it goes live on hatter-and-red.tumblr.com you can see the whole thing.

This is a ridiculous problem, y'all know better.

Your Princess Serenity cosplay is gorgeous!! I love your wig, it's the perfect color. Where did you get it, and how did you style it?

Hatter here! I was Serenity and... Thank you! Thank you very much!My wig was made by me! It was my very first time doing such a project and good Lord it was a doozy.

I was originally going to use a Chibi from ardawigs and extensions, but I have a 24.5″ head (fat head, plus I have a natural afro that is VERY FREAKING THICK, we’re talking so thick I wear three wig caps even AFTER braiding my stuff down) so knowing the Chibi runs small I was too scared to blow the money on a wig that might not fit I decided to do some wig-fu.

What I DID do was by stuff from epiccosplaywigs and here’s the ingredient list:

1 - 28″ Nyx wig (straight)1 - 50″ Ponytail clip-in (straight)6 - 30″ Hair weft extension1 pk 3″ foam balls*2- 4 Hair bands (the nice “no damage” kind and they MUST be new)4 - 6 GUM RUBBER bands (the kind you get off newspapers, money stacks, bags of fruit... the thicker the better)1 pk gray bias tapeHot glue gun and sticksHair spray (I had both Aquanet and Got2B Freeze)These rollers without the stupid thingy in the middle and taped with masking tape 3 until they were three rollers high. Only pink, green and blue got taped. (Note I have TWO sets of these, and not all are taped)Thread (matching the hair/bias tape)Optional (?) black and white paint (to make gray)Wig head stand (the small plastic kind that you can clamp onto tables and even doors!)3″ pearl headed floral pins (the kind used on corsages. These are longer and stronger than T-pins or other sorts of pins so they’ll sick into your wig heads and nothing is gonna move. Also you can SEE the pins more easily due to the large shiny head)Hair dryer, Foam Board, towels, a TV dinner tray and the biggest pot(s) you have.Optional: Cool gray copic markers C-1, C-3 C-5.

*DO NOT DO LIKE ME AND BUY SMOOTHFOAM BALLS YOU WILL SUFFER

See how much I had to spend because I got a big old head? Hahaha!

Anyway...

And to MAKE the wig I used THE FOLLOWING TUTORIALS:

I used this tutorial from Arda for making a part in the middle of my NON pigtail wig: https://youtu.be/cjG4bMDTTZI?t=4m26s (you can watch the whole thing, or just from where I linked in the video)

This one from AntiquityDreams to make the odango and just style the wig into the White Moon style over all.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y4FD4Pso_I (part I)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUvuqziwfUQ (part II)

What I did myself was, pull all the bang hair (and just a LITTLE extra on the sides for the hair twirls) and then some forward and band in together (in a nice band) so it won’t be caught in the extra work I was about to put in. And flip the wig inside own, stretch it over a modified styro wig head and pin down. It is SUPER important if you try this that you stretch the wig out to fit you perfect because you will sew onto the elastic and the stretch will be affected.

From there I sewed roughly 3 of the wefts around the sides and back of the wig, from the earflaps down, and when I finished I flipped the wig inside out, re-pinned to the head, and then pulled all the hair up into a band (the nice kind), turned the head upside down and blasted the fibers with a dryer to get them use to bending this way. This made my wig resemble an Arda’s Chibi or similar styles of ponytail wigs and cover up edges and such.

I then pulled a small amount of fibers out of the ponytail at the bottom, these were going to be made into my nape hairs at the end, so they got banded up and left alone.

I made an ugly part down the middle of the wig then, and used the last two NICE hair bands to hold the hair in place. From here I followed the Arda tutorial on putting a part in a not parted wig, using the last three packages of wefts + bias tape. I somehow managed to get fourish rows a piece on this. Dunno how I just did haha. It was glued onto the wig, WHILE I WAS WEARING IT (hardcore) by my mom. I was wearing two wig caps and I still felt warmth, but no burns thankfully (also you will lose at least ONE cap to this step, jus saying).

From there I used both the NICE bands and the crappy gum rubber bands to fix the pigtails in my wig to be high and even. I put my wig clamp on the door and held my wig side ways and stuff to get it to match. At this point in the process, I was wishing I had gotten a shorter wig (like the 24″ Dionysus), but it wasn’t in stock so I had to deal (wah).

Once I got everything even and TIGHT (that’s what the gum rubber bands are for, to keep everything tight since they grip the fibers tightly (and rip some out if you have to take it off)., I began to follow the tutorial from AntiquityDreams, meaning I cut and stubbed the wig, used the cut hair to cover the hollowed out foam balls to make the odango, tore apart the pony tail to make two tails, sewed and glued things on... bah-bam. Wig 80% done.

From here, I cut the nape hairs (about 2.5-3″ long) and curled them with yellow rollers a few squirts of Got2B and a few hits of a hair dryer.

The side twirls and the bands got the style treatment, trimming and curling with blue rollers, etc. I used two taped blue rollers to do the side twirls and single rollers on the bangs. Note: Originally I didn’t trim the bangs I just curled the hell out of them hoping for 90s anime bang volume and I got it, but I also got pin curls that didn’t wanna budge so I cut the bangs in in soft curve and re-curled, got immediately better results. Protective layer of Got2B was applied.

The TAILS were curled using the hot water method because any other method would take TOO long because of how THICK Epic Cosplay wigs are. Only the TAPED pink and green ones were used. I also snuck a bit of tissue paper into this to serve as end wrappers because I curled a little over half the hair and the wrappers helped keep the ends under control.

I curled the left tails towards the right and vice versa, pinned them all down to towel covered foam board which was propped up in the tub against the TV tray (and a bucket now that I remember it). Its pinned to the foam board and NOT the wig head because I didn’t want the boiling water ruining anything I had already accomplished.

Dumped the water onto the towel covered foam board (the towels helped hold in water/heat/some steam), and I did it twice and left it alone for two days. Came back took out the curlers and BAM it looked awesome and bouncy. I sprayed them with some Aquanet and Got2B.

Annnnnd that’s it I believe. Overall this took me about a week spread over the course of two and a half? I was sewing wefts to basically EVERYTHING that made it take forever... if I remake this wig (and its tempting to, 2nd time is always better) I’m tempted to try and make a Chibi wig fit my fat head.

Rachel Dolezal’s bizarre Vanity Fair photo inspires #RachelsMixtape

Sitting on a wooden bench, an unsmiling Dolezal glares into the camera. Her braided hair, draped over her left shoulder. But the photo and hilarious tweets that followed aren’t the most disturbing thing. That would be Dolezal’s continued racial identification.
