Oh God, Jin looks TOO cute - even if she's playing a whirling chainsaw.

Yeah...but I didn't know she was a good costume maker. Buying the stuff is one thing. Making it look right is something else entirely.jwhouk wrote:Remember, Jin's still rather independently wealthy.Julie wrote:Wow... Impressive for a first attempt at cosplay.

sure it's the first time they are using the definition of "COSPLAY"... but they do this every year otherwise, so it's NOT their "First" time doing COSTUMES, remember Monica with her Pirate, and Hunter Van Pelt outfits, and Little Bo Jin?... no, they are very well versed (and funded, too) in the arts of costuming, and cosplay.Julie wrote:Wow...

Okay, I knew there was going to be fan service as soon as “cosplay" came up, but DAE-UM.

Also, there are a lot of specialty and thrift shops in the Twin Cities, so coming up with props shouldn't be too hard.
And remember: Monica owns a freakin' antique store, fercryinoutloud. If she wanted to cosplay as Agatha Heterodyne, she could probably find the steampunk equipment in the store's back room.

Yes, but Monica and Jin themselves don't quite count...

At least Jin is of an appropriate age to wear that outfit.
Isn't Ryuko 16 instead of the usual 14 for the over sexualized anime minor? Seriously, Japan, 14 is too young for a lehal ahe of consent.
The letter “j" is severely abused when I'm really tired. Pulling extra duty for h, y, zh (and x for zh sounds) and sometimes sh and th (the last one being due to its use in Cherokee).
