A 10 Year Retrospective on Cosplay: Week 4 Cosplay Closet Purge

Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye

Unless they have unlimited storage space, eventually cosplayers have to go through their cosplay closet and make some tough decisions. I'm throwing this blog in the "retrospective" series because I find this is an activity I've done repeatedly throughout my cosplay life and a little wisdom helps make the process easier.

A 10 Year Retrospective in Cosplay: Week 1 - Wigs

Wiggity Wiggity Wack!

Ragyo (2014) was my biggest wig project ever. It's a heavily modified long wig for the base, and there are packs of custom dyed extensions to create the rainbow.
Back in my day... maybe I should start all these segments with that line to  really emphasize that I've been here for awhile.
This week I'm looking back at how the use of wigs has changed in the past 10 years for cosplayers.

I went from "au naturale" to almost mandatory wig purchases for every project. We've come a long way costumers, so let's look back.

For more info on the costumes shown, visit my Costume Page.
