Winter is the best time of the year. Though it is foggy and way to warm for November over here in Germany (yesterday we had about 15°C), we are only a few days away from the first advent sunday, and our home is already decorated (thanks to my wife, who cannot seem to wait).
But winter is the best time in another aspect. There are almost no conventions, not even small ones (don't know about the U.S.A., but in Germany it is common to arrange smaller conventions on a more local level with about 40 to 80 visitors), so there is plenty of time to prepare the next year (if you are a "freak" like me, you know what I am talking about).
My next year's to-do list consists of a variety of characters, reaching from Tsukasa (.hack//SIGN) and Toshiro Hitsugaya (Bleach) to more "saucy" characters like Kohaku from Inuyasha, or even two girls (namely Rabi~en~Rose and Sailor Uranus).
Yesterday, I bought (yes, I admit, I am a dabbler in some ways) my Sailor Uranus Cosplay. But what would a preperation be without some notes and advices from my wife? Right, Boring!
I showed her the pictures I used for reference, and she noted something that could cause serious trouble later on.
She said "Oh my....are you sure that you can walk in those boots?" and pointed at the heels.
In this moment I seriously thought about ceasing this. I mean, I used to wear boots with higher heels when wearing my Archangel Michael Cosplay, but I realized that heels that high would become a problem. And a twisted and/or broken ankle is a sacrifice I am not willed to offer!
But since my wife has eventually become very supportive, she said "Don't worry, you have enough time till you wear it. Buy it, and try to find some boots on eBay or so, so that you can learn walking in them.
I looked at her, shocked. You have to know, that normally, the "trial and error" thing is my domain, so I was surprised that my girlfriend gave my this advice.
Well, now I feel like stirring on the very fine line between crossplay as such and crossdressing, as I am wearing "clothes" of the opposite sex not on a convention but in private. Okay, it's not crossdressing in the regular meaning of living the life of the opposite sex every day, but still.... I feel a little bit nervous about this, but I don't know why! Maybe because this is the first time my wife is the instigator....
Well, that's preperation done the wife's way. If you want to do it, you first have to prove that you are ABLE to do it... Okay, I am ready!
