Well thats a bit extreme but for my first time I want it to be just right, you know flowers, champagne, the whole nine yards.

Oh well now thats out of my system I am looking to go to Auckgeddon and I want am thinking as a first attempt I would try Ichigo Bankai with hollow mask combo any ideas on where I could get design ideas? I would love help in this are as who wants to stuff up the first time, right?

'Course being Samoan and not blond is a set back but I will see how it goes Wink

I don't think being Samoan is any sort of set back Razz

As for hair colour, wear a wig! Very Happy

I have never found being Samoan a set back except when dressing up as a white japanese teenager with blonde hair Razz

but all good just need to keep going to gym to make sure I have the build sorted Smile

Google, google, google! :) It really helps to look at what other people have done with their costumes, it will give you ideas on what works, what doesn't, etc. If you're looking to buy a costume, Trinity Treasures is AWESOME; otherwise there are oodles of online tutorials for Ichigo's outfit :)

Don't worry about messing up on the first go - nobody's going to get stroppy if you're not perfect, and it's always awesome to see new faces in the cosplay scene!
