NAME OF CHARACTER: Ranma Saotome Girl-Type ANIME SERIES: Ranma 1/2 COSTUME STATUS: Modified COSTUME DEBUT: Nan Desu Kan 2002 (as Girl-Type) DETAILS: The last time I wore this particular costume was back in Anime Expo 1999, but I was Boy-Type Ranma.  I figured that since I had the red wig, I might as well dress up as Girl-Type Ranma. I bought the Chinese outfit a few days prior to Anime Expo 1999.  The only changes I made were with the buttons.  When I bought the outfit, the buttons were red, and I remembered perfectly well that Ranma's buttons are yellow.  I had some yellow polyester/ cotton fabric and decided to make the buttons out of that.  I wore navy blue sweatpants, and black ballet shoes.  Okay, Ranma doesn't wear ballet shoes, but it was pretty close to what she wore.  *shrugs*  I don't know...  The wig I used was red, long, and wavy; it didn't have a braid when I bought it.  The braid I did on my own.  Wore blue contacts (after all, Ranma has blue eyes).  Last, but not least, my eyebrows are dark and thick, and I refuse to pluck them, which doesn't look good since I'm wearing a light colored wig.  I took some tempera paint and painted my eyebrows.  Okay, it was cheap way to do that, but it worked. :)  You don't hear me, or anyone else complaining.
