By the Bel: Kimono Time!
Bel Says:
It’s now the lead up to Supanova. What in the world will you be
wearing, and, for those of you willing to tackle a costume, who will
you be dressing as? No, don’t panic just yet–there’s still time.
I’m going to trawl YouTube to pick out cool looks, even some for guys
(why do some guys fear makeup?), keeping Supanova in mind.
I’ll start today with a girly one. The Geisha look. Not sure if this
would be under any cosplay category, I don’t watch THAT much anime.
~Okay I do, but I blame the other members of my household~. I have no
idea if there’s a character who looks like this. Sometimes it’s just
great to stand out at Supanova.

Then there’s the drama of how in the hell you put on a traditional
Kimono. Never fear, AshNight1214 is here to demonstrate how to put one
on in this clip:

Pulling out your hair? You’ll need it to do this beautiful style from

Last, but not least, you will need an internal soundtrack to play when
the doofuses are humming the Indiana Jones theme song on the bus:
