Due to time constraints I've had to change my mind on who I'm going to dress up as for the Nov/Dec Cosplay event.

I'm now looking at dressing up as Itoshiki Nozomu a.k.a. Mr. Despair from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a good wig for this cosplay? I'm sure one of the many L style ones would work.

I've just come back from Ebay, saw a lot of nice "L" wigs while I was there.

Check it out

Yeah, I've been looking around eBay as well, it's just I don't know how to to tell the difference between a good wig and a cheap nasty one.

Try amphigory.com, they have lots there and the prices are pretty good. They have a range of quality too so you should be able to find something.

They do have a few nice wigs, however I've already purchased one from an eBay seller. Just waiting on postage now.

I'll keep that site bookmarked though as I might be after some other wigs in the near future. Thanks for the link.

I'm now looking for the fabric to make the kimono out of. There are various different textures he wears in the anime but the most reoccurring one is the pattern in the image in the first post. If anyone sees a similar textured fabric around Adelaide please let me know. I'll get some pictures of all the various textures that have appeared so far in case I'll have to go with an alternative.

u evil evil evil person! i'm not hoooked on the anime!! T^T
man...if i still have tokyo jogakkan's seifuku i would so cosplay it with u! it's exactly the same as the ones in the anime, only instead of a red ribbon it's blue.

meh..highschool days...

I had the same idea the other day (while getting another friend addicted to it). You mentioned you weren't going to be going to the next event mainly because you had nothing to wear. I thought it should be pretty easy for you to find a school outfit to wear and go as one of the students. It would help make my costume recognizable as I don't think the Zoo staff will be too pleased if I show up with a noose around my neck.

EDIT: Oh, I see how that can be misinterpreted. Sorry to give you the wrong impression, I'm too absent minded to plan anything of the sort.

u ebil ebil person!! stop feigning innocence! >___<
i wish i can go as abiru or meru, but i don't have the time nor resource to make an outfit for them..it's too soon...>__< stupid assignments and exams!!
going as kiri is just not...proper...-_-lll
and u missed one thing..i don't want to go coz i don't really like the zoo...

Believe what you will

I finally got around to taking a photo of my wig/glasses for this cosplay:

Cool! What wig is that? Looks spot on

I got it from the following eBay store:
http://stores.ebay.com.au/Professional-Only

They have quite a range of cosplay wigs.

That looks great! The wig is perfect!

Almost complete... I just need to reduce the sleeve length a bit and give it a good ironing.

It's looking really good. I love the fabric you used. Where did you end up finding it?

I am going to next years con, it will be my first and hopefully there will be some people my age i can make friends with *im 13* im going as L too =3 i wish there were other conventions sooner though

Oh this wasn't an L cosplay... The wig that I got for it was one styled in L's hair style, that's all.

I'll be going as Remu and my sister as Misa from Death Note to next year's AVCon though. I hope to see you there and get some photos.

yea i know it wasnt an L cosplay, i was just sayin =3, do you know if there will be people my age there?

AVCon has attendees of all ages, you'll have plenty of peers.
