I'd like to cosplay for Connecticon again this year but I am beyond tapped on ideas. I'd really appreciate some help.

It would help alot if you could provide a picture of yourself or a description of what you look like

5'4", long red hair (to about mid back), dark eyes, really pale skin, average build with a rather (obnoxious in my mind) large chest.

Here are the first ideas that come to mind:

Orihime Inoue -Bleach

her outfit (I couldn't find a picture from the anime, but there are lots..somewhere )

Rangiku Matsumoto -Bleach (the vice-captain under 10th Squad Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya)

Mikuru Asahina -The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

outfit -- This is Haruhi, but in the school uniform that Mikuru usually wears -otherwise she is in a bunny suit or some other costume that Haruhi forces her into.

Older from-the-future Mikuru --basically she just looks a little more mature and her outfit is different

These are all characters with long orange hair and large chests. Rangiku has grey eyes, the other two have brownish-copper eyes-- so I think the eye color should be fine.

There are a lot out there.. I just need to think ^^
I love your Marumi avatar by the way!

Hope you like one-- I'll keep thinking about it!

Thanks a ton! I actually went as Orihime last year and it was a tres blast (my fiance went as Urahara.)

Matsumoto would be a good choice... hmm I'll see what I can do.

My fiance suggested going as Kitsune-no-men from Ryo Koku, so I have a bunch of ideas now.

And I love Maromi, a lot. I'm trying to get my hands on a plushie Maromi this year.

Great! Glad you have lots of ideas now!

I second Kitsune-no-men. I'm not familiar with Ryo Koku, but that outfit is lovely.

Kasumi from the Dead or Alive games is another girl who fits the catagory.

Her outfits are pretty, but rather skimpy too ~

That's great- Urahara and Orihime = )
Good luck with finding a Marumi plushie!

Thanks! And huh, I can't believe I didn't think of Kasumi considering how much I love DOA.

That's how I know I've been thinking too hard!

Wow... I third that Kitsune... Since those masks reminds me of Yoshimitsu from Tekken series... Definitely Kasumi as well.

Awesome. I think I'll go as her then, and when I have the time to do a proper Kasumi /next/ year.

I'm making the mask out of Sculpie... so here's praying it comes out well.
