Looking for Circus Stars!
Nov. 29th, 2009 09:50 pmI’ve been meaning to post about this for months and I guess now is a good time since I think everyone’s done with cons for the year. I talked with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
neoangelwink about this idea at AnimeNext and she has mentioned it to some interested in the series although I’m just getting around to recruiting people now. ^_^;
Anyway, I’m looking for people interested in doing a Kaleido Star masquerade group with me for 2011. I’d like to do this at Costume Con which is going to be in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ that year (April 29-May 2, 2011). I want to make Layla’s Cinderella ballgown for then and if I can find people for a group, I’d like to do a rags to ballgown transformation for the presentation. This is going to be a pretty ambitious project which is why I'm starting to look for people so far in advance.
The number of people is flexible. At minimum, I’d need a fairy godmother and Cinderella in rags (I think it’s more feasible to switch two Cinderellas than to try to make the rags fit over the huge ballgown.) We can go up to 6 with the 3 fairy godmothers, 2 Cinderellas, and the prince. 7 if we figure out a way to work in Sarah since she sings in the show but it’s never mentioned exactly what character she’s supposed to be. It would work most easily if everyone is in or close to NYC so we can get together to plan, buy fabric, etc. but we can try to work something out if someone farther away wants to participate.

( My thoughts on doing this at Costume Con vs. an anime con and other important things to keep in mind. Please read thoroughly if you’re interested. )
So, if anyone has been through this whole post and is still up for the challenge, please comment! :-D
EDIT: Oops. ^_^; Forgot to mention that I’d also like the group to wear these costumes together at an anime con sometime for pics and wandering the halls. And in case I gave anyone the wrong impression, I would like this group to put in a good effort and aim for some kind of worksmanship award but I would not expect a Best of Show at all because the level of competition is so high.
