Dark Jedi Cosplay - Picture Heavy

[Luniara]

Thank you! I picked up my boots today and uh.. the bottoms fell right off. It's quite annoying knowing I did not even have them for a full day and only tried ONE on before the other went to shell. While the shoe shop said it would be only $15 to fix, I'm still peeved after leaving a nice review on the seller and gave him a tip. BAH!

I'll be picking up my boots on Saturday so I'll take a picture of what I have so far then. My lightsaber should be here on Tuesday. SO excited and anxious! I also purchased my contact lenses. <3

What's left now is to sew together my wig and as I said make up (waiting for seller to contact me when its back in stock)!

Were they 100yr old boots?

I have never heard of the soles falling off...if new, the seller should be beaten.

If it is an ebay thing then fail a claim and slam them/him...like a bug.

Yeah, Lemon laws protect the buyer from such things.  If soles fall off, those boots were not taken care of, and showed signs before being sold to you.  That should not, and any reputable dealer should be willing to exchange the product.

Well, he was a local ebay dealer so I said "frell it. I have no time for this guys incompetence" and paid the $15 to fix it. I highly doubt he had a duplicate of them so it's better to simply get it done myself. I told the seller and all he offered was a "oh wow, gosh- I didn't know. We bought them for a costume and never wore them."  - oh well.

I got them back this weekend and the repairman went ahead and even polished them for me. They are epic! Slightly big for my lady feet but that's what you get when you buy men's boots.

Anyways.. forgive my bulky-ness. I am no size 6.

Here it is without the gloves and a belt to go on top of the obi (and a surprise cat in the box) I have to get the robe and sash taken in... its far too long than I had wanted it to be. Maybe 4 inches?:





I'm getting a little scared to sew the black into the wig. I think after a good comb through I may figure it out.





QUACK!


Contact lenses should arrive in a week or two. =) I'll try those on for size and show you.

If the boots are too big for your feet, you can hurt yourself if you slide too much.  As it turns out, I have something of the same issue.  What you can do is get some form of strap and tighten it around your ankle around the outside of the boot, which will help hold everything in place.

And I call shenanigans on the seller not knowing.  If the soles fell off as soon as you put the shoes on, he had to have seen that when packing the boots for sending.  Shenanigans.

No need to forgive anything, we are the sum of our parts...few of us are and in some cases rarely ever were size 6's lol.  Truthfully it is within that most reflects without...wait til you hit 40 and your body starts to betray you lol.

Cat in the box...that is what boxes were made for right?  I like the length as is...it will allow movement while dueling, unless you are going for the bit'o leg look 

The wig...why not braid in anchors for you black to white?  Braid a few inches towards the skull cap and then white glue the ends.  The braid will bring it together cleanly, allow you an anchor point, and brings a touch of girly to the grrr of your costume

Eeee! It's here! I'll post some more photos this weekend.

Why so blue?

Bazinga!!!! lol point sir for making me crack up. I love a good pun.

Anyways.. forgive my bulky-ness. I am no size 6.

Bulky-ness... where? I don't see any bulky-ness anywhere... Unless you meant the cat, and the cat also seems to be in great shape.... I swear all women have different eyes. I have to cover this with my wife constantly.

[Master Bluespike74]

Hey, Everybody loves the Blue!!!  Anyhow, size 6 is too small anyway.  If they ain't double digits, they ain't in my phone book.  Be proud! 

[Darth Cestual]

At the risk of sounding like a typical guy, DAYUM!!! I wish there were hot chicks into sabers & Star Wars around my neck of the woods, lol.

[Master Bluespike74]

Darth,

I gave you a point for speaking what was going through my mind.

Have a great day!

Okay let me just echo what some other people have said, be proud, and good Lord girl, who are you looking at to be apologizing for "bulky-ness"? I was just thinking last night how much society and certain guys really mess up gals' self-esteem. I will freely admit that I've not done a lot of dating, I've only been in three relationships and two of them were serious. Each of the three had a hard time or didn't believe me when I told them they were beautiful. Why? Because they were never told they were beautiful. Beauty is NOT a size! Beauty is not turning sideways and disappearing. Beauty is who you are; it is so much more than size. Look at Reubens' work and what he saw as beautiful. Also, (and yes, I watch musicals with my mom, sister and fiancée) check out what Queen Latifah asks in Hairspray, "Who wants a twig when you can have the whole **** tree?" having said that, you aren't even what I would classify as big. Learn to love yourself and realize that being happy with your own body is crucial. So many people (and I know I'm getting into general statements now), have no idea of the true value that they have. They don't realize that they are important. Back to personal comments, like Blue said, if they aren't double digits, they aren't in my book...though no one is in my book since getting engaged lol. My fiancée is certainly not tiny, but I think she is gorgeous. I don't want her to be a scrawny, rib poking out, stick. I'm still having a hard time convincing her of that, but she is making progress. Now she at least knows that I think she's beautiful.

Sorry for the rant, but without hitting on you, and making it perfectly clear that I am happily engaged, let me say that you are a beautiful gal, and you need to stop apologizing and instead be happy with who you are.

Hate to keep this derailed train moving, but I agree - no "bulkiness" that I can see.  You look totally fine, and that's coming from a dude with an incredibly cute gf

Anyway, just to attempt to get it back on topic, let us know how those contacts turn out!  I've always been curious about how those are to wear (I wear contacts myself, but I've never tried the colored ones).

[Master Rel]

Bit of reality for you guys...being 46yrs old and seen the process over the years...your body will most likely betray you at some point, you will gain weight, change shape, etc.

All you have is what you are and who you are...the body is just a shell, the pearl is the prize.

My wife still does not get it either...you like or love someone for who they are or the emotion is just lust.

Anyway...I digress...the blue of the saber is a good one
