Why I did this cosplay:
My dear Tofu of the GTC, needed an Orochimaru for her skit. I have long hair. I figured.. Why not help her out? Btw, I have a fascination of snakes and I fell for this bad guy the moment he went crazy. Hahaha. I love his eye make up. TAKE THAT SASUKE!

Attire:
I never had a problem with this outfit… until I lost my eyes for a bit and it was rather difficult to make this costume. I had problems with my contacts… yea.. not good. I do have his colored contacts but because my eyes were burning I could not put them in during the day of the show.

I re used a pair of black pants, and a black turtle neck. Tofu lent me some white medical tape for the bottom of the pants and her shoes. WHEEE!

I created a tunic from tan fabric… not hard at all.

The robe belt was the hardest of them all. Because I like things more natural.. I created a huge purple tube and STUFFED IT LIKE CRAZY. Then when it came time for me to use it I twisted it and tied it accordingly.

Anything else?
I hate the fact that I could not see. I really wanted to use my contacts. **EMO CRY!** I have never felt so covered… and yet so comfortable. HAHA. Maybe more crazy crossplays to come? I DON’T WANT TO. And lastly… LOOK AT THAT BUTT BOW!
