Because I am a nerd and an otaku, I went poking around on the web for Trigun cosplays. After finding this link, I have a new appreciation for the master cosplayers:

Vash Cosplay

Why? Because these ladies built the costume from the bottom up. They have the skill and the expertise to make a pattern from scratch, and to recognize what kind of a technique is required to create a certain effect. I'm nothing short of awed. I mean... I busted my ass to make that Amalthea dress, but it's decidedly amateur next to something like this.

And - considering how much effort it took me to make that Amalthea dress, I can't even imagine how much time it took to conceptualize, design, and sew something as accurate as this version of Vash's coat.

Geez. When I see something like this, I'm alternately amazed that there are people this talented, and jealous that I'm not one of them! ^_^

I'll bet it involved a lot of hair mousse and a blow dryer... my friends and I used to give each other similar hairstyles at slumber parties. I'm betting one would have to have rather thick hair for the style to maintain its shape for any period of time though. :)
