I love how you did the holes in the cape! If it was me I would have cut or maybe burned some holes into the cape and be done with it (which means it would look crappy and fray like a bitch D:) More Vincent Valentine and Vash cosplayers should do something similar to yours to their capes/trenchcoats.
By the way, I would love to participate in the meme, mind giving me five topics? :D
