Some Friends And I are having an epic cosplay battle, and the winner gets eternal glory + bragging rights.
any one who is free in Auckland (New Zealand) for the Armageddon expo between the days of the 24th - 26th of October can join, all you need to do is post a comment (containing your team name, what cosplay your going to do and how many people are in your team)on this journal or my page ^^
so far the teams are:
Team Kawaii = ME! (Xinna) + Michelle (We Are Maids From "He is My Master"..But We Kinda Need Another Person)
Team Anbu = Danica + Angela (doing the Anbu soldiers from Naruto)
Team Cookie Dough = Ella + Noyaz (i'm not sure what they're doing...maybe bleach..?)

RULES:
~must be in groups of up to 3, and yes you can do it alone
~no cheating, you cant just buy all of your costume. at least one Clothing Piece must be made By Yourself
~one anime/manga/Style (Ganguro,Decora,Gothic Lolita, etc. ) to one group, we want variety
~if you are in a group, all members must be in cosplay
~it has to be ready for the expo
~it must have effort put into it( remember youre the one who has to wear it)
~it must be a actual character/ cosplay theme, it cannot be an extra from an anime/manga cos thats just lame.
~act like the character, talk like how the character would and do the facial expressions etc...(become the character)

HOW IT IS JUDGED:
~ We Will Go Around And Ask People To Vote For Their Favourite Cosplay. The Group/Person With The Most Votes Wins

this is going to be fun!
we'll update this journal when more people join

you have just about 3 months until the expo!! good luck!!
