This is the second, possibly third, time I've posted asking for help about this, but I never really got anything good and I have no idea where tjhose posts are now, so...
Every year at Connecticon (as well as every other respected con) we have one BIG show, called the Masquerade. In it, con-goes and cosplayers get to put together their own skits and dances and such to perform in front of hundreds (or thousands) of people.
Well, A couple friends and I (either a group of 2 or a group of 4 if necessary- we'd prefer to do this with just two people though) really want to enter the competition this year... because without it, we won't be entered into the costume contest and we won't be able to win fantastic prizes. ;-;
So these are the costumes we will be wearing:
me: Ilia (twilight princess) and Marta Lualdi (ToS 2 )
Person #1: Ordon Link (Twilight Princess) and Haruko (FLCL)
*Person #2: Misa (Deathy Note)
*Person #3: some chick from some anime I never watched
* these people are the optional ones, but we can't take one without the other as they are best friends.
So as of right now, the only "idea" we have is to dance to random popular internet/anime songs (Leek spin, Lucky Star OP, Caramelldansen, etc). And that idea sucks and has probably already been taken anyway, sooo... help please. ;-;
Oh, and me and person #1 can also use our last year's costumes, Peach and Sheik, if necessary.
Just stop cosplaying.
Haruko FTW
Why you being someone from a game that's not out yet?
Leek Spin isn't an anime song.

Don't do it this year until you have something that isn't terribly cliched and retarded?

I said "internet/anime" and since leekspin is closely related to that gif of the chick from bleach spinning a leek... ta-da. And yeah, tghe Haruhi Dance was included in that random bunch.
I'm being Marta now because I know when the game comes out there will be way way way too many people cosplaying as her. I don't like to do common cosplays, but most of the time the best character designs are overdone. So I'm doing it now- and I'm doing it well- so that people have something to look up to in the future. I'm just trying to establish myself in the cosplay world.
By the way... she might be Bunny Haruko. ;)

The chick's name is Orihime, and the thing is retarded.
Haruhi Dance is terribly cliched, it's been done to death at conventions, do not do it, no one will be impressed.

Actually, generally speakiong I like to only do cosplays with blue or sometimes green eyes.
Reason being I'm a huge perfectionist and for close-up shots I don't want to have blue eyes when they're supposed to be red or yellow... I know it's not a big deal, but that really bothers me for some reason. >.>
And colored contacts are fucking expensive.
The girl who's being Haruko actually has greenish brown eyes that have a definite yellow tint to them, it'll work well. :P

that shit sucks. I didn't lol at all. It's too cheesy. All skits are cheesy. Skits suck in general. Unless the characters are related in some way, don't do a skit, it'll only end in embarrassment. The stupid cliche dancing thing is the only thing that will work with such random characters.

Well, quite honestly, the crowd at Connecticon will not be full of Kono's. baddood;
They found that funny, and I found it funny. I agree that the skit will more than likely suck with unrelated characters, unless I can think of something amazingly witty. But even if you think "skits suck in general", they really don't.. so don't blow off the idea of one just because you don't like it.
Daicon IV makes more sense if you see Daicon III.
Damn that would make a kick-ass show.

FMA is among the overdone cosplays that I will try to avoid for the next 10 years. FMA is actually my favorite anime by far, not that I watch much, but there are just SOO many fma cosplayers, especially winry, ed, and Hughs.
That's also why I avoid Naruto and Death Note.

They may have laughed a little pity chuckle, but did it win? I doubt it. The winners have related characters and material that works. the WoW skit, is getting old, Mario skits, old, dancing, old, some retarded fight, old. There is pretty much nothing that hasn't been done to death. Show me a skit that doesn't suck. I mean, really, doesn't suck. an award winning one.
