Yeah, mark me down please! I'll go in for a ring! Every once in a while, I'd see them on ebay, but usually only the Black Rose Rings, while I wanted the silver... What a great idea!

I wish I could split this part off into a separate thread. I'll make a new one in a couple days (sorry guys, tests again).

I've always been a fan of this girl's cosplay, because she does my favorite character from Angel Sanctuary, the insane angel Rosiel, so well. Stunning photos! So I was *very glad* when she actually did a Utena character, but shocked at her apparent disregard for the series itself (which you can read here: http://angelsanctuary.com/index2.htm). Oh well, to each his own.

I don't know enough about the rules of posting photos of other people's cosplay to actually do that, but I will leave the links, because I know that's okay...

About the photo-posting rules...maybe you guys will know. For instance, I like this particular girl's Touga photos. I know I cannot link right from her site, but is it "legal" to save her picture to my computer, then upload it to photobucket, and then link from that site? Or, before you use any photo for anything, are you supposed to contact the person...if it is on their personal site? But if it is on a common site for everyone, like cosplay.com, then you can take the photos and share them?

Wow... That girl makes an amazing Touga. AMAZING.

I wish that Akio were taller though... He looks too short... T_T

That's too bad--she makes such a great Touga.

I've cosplayed Juri and Nanami.

(Apologies for the narcissism.)

In any case, it seems this thread has already hit upon most of my favorites -- Rosiel and Ali's Touga and Saionji are fantastic.  Ideally, I'd like to completely rehaul both of my Juri costumes, but that requires both time and a renewed interest in cosplay, of which I'm sorely lacking.  Perhaps I'll bust them out in a labor of love (pain) for Utena's 10 year anniversary in 2007.

Those are absolutely gorgeous cosplayers! I really really like the Nanami ones, your expression is brilliant!

Anyway, I am thinking of cosplaying black rose Shiori and I'm wondering if anyone knows any way how to get a sword like Juri's? Or how to make a black rose crest?

Much appreciated!

Did you get that ring made when the Utena ML was talking about it years ago?  I wanted to go in on it back then, but I couldn't afford it.  I would DEFINATELY get one if I had the opportunity again.

Thank you all for the compliments -- Utena cosplay is always so much fun to do, and I'm growing all the more inclined to give it one more go despite a recent lack of enthusiasm towards costuming.

Wasn't there a cosplay section of the fandom page on EM, once?

...I seem to be thread necro girl lately... -.-;;

I'm surprised that no one has thus far mentioned Tristen Citrine. Gorgeous cosplayer who makes us real women look damned good in cosplay.





I really admire a woman who makes a Rose Bride gown for her own wedding.

http://www.tristencitrine.com/index.html. Her cosplay is out. Of. This. World. She's gorgeous. And she does roller derby, so her place in my heart is well established.

I make it a point to know people when I seduce them. Her site makes me want to cosplay again, tho. We'll see.
