W00t, all the Otakon meetup people!
I'm toying with the idea of man-Reimu (Reimund? *ba dum tsh*), mostly because it'd be hell to make my eyebrows and goatee match the wig for a man-Reisen. Plus I like her outfit but don't want to wear a dress since there's really no way I can pull off feminine. I will refrain from participating in canon v. fanon debates for now.
So here's my thoughts:
1) Wig - I'd get some kind of chin-length wig and work with the hair tubes. Bow, I'm not sure what I'd do, but I'm thinking an embellished headband or headphones (think of Suzumiya Haruki) would have the same effect.
2) Top: I was thinking I'd cut the sleeves off of a karate uniform top, hem them, and embellish as necessary. The big sleeves I'd have to look into, but I thought of taking the karate uniform sleeves, cutting them, and inserting extra fabric to extend, then I'd make large buttonholes to weave the ribbons as necessary to act as adjustable retainers.
3) Bottom: Red hakama pants. I'll throw money at the problem and buy 'em online. Plain white socks and brown semiformal loafers.
4) Props: I'll make a prayer stick (I'm too lazy to look up the proper term) and blow up a few card danmaku to print and stick on lightweight foam core to maintain rigidity.
I figure I'd get people's input here before turning to Coscom.
BTW, o hai Triangles :3
