Costume Information

I saw this costume in a concert photo and fell in love. It was the most difficult costume I had made at the time, but I learned a lot from it. I think this was the first pair of pants I ever made. Also, the chainmail was keyrings I duct-taped together lol.

I wore this to Anime North's Valentine's Day JPOP Dance 2005. Surprisingly, some people actually recognized me even though I was dressed as something so obscure. The most memorable was a girl who looked at me, did a double-take, her eyes went wide and she pointed at me and exclaimed, "You know Lead!" To which I pointed back and exclaimed, "You know Lead!" It was awesome.
