Making a Con Survival Kit

What any cosplayer needs to survive a convention: 

No matter how prepared I think I am for a convention I always seem to leave something important at home. To fix this I keep a small bag packed with items I know I can’t survive without in case I forget to pack them into my regular luggage.

Adhesives: Hot glue gun and glue sticks, super glue, packing take, masking tape (wonderful for fixing a ripped hem if you can’t sew it).

Toiletries: Travel size tooth brush and toothpaste, ear plugs, and deodorant. (edit: I forgot to add disposable razer and travel size shaving cream)

First Aid: Mini first aid kit, band-aids, Advil, tissues and glucose tablets (good for people with low blood sugar)

Wigs & Hair:  Comb, elastic bands, bobby pins, and a spare wig cap.

Cosmetics: Eye liner, lipstick, file, fingernail polish and fingernail clippers.

Sewing: Fabric scissors, paper scissors, pins & needles, white thread, black thread, seam ripper, fray check, and safety pins.

Costume Repair: X-acto knife, screw driver, pliers, black sharpy, and a pen.

Optional Custom Items: If you a have something that is painted bring paint and a brush for touch ups. If you have bad vision be sure to pack your spare glasses or backup contacts. A few granola bars never hurt to have handy. “Shout Wipes” are a life saver for cleaning spots or stains out of costumes. If you have a spare phone charger it’s a good idea to keep it in the bag. A Travel size lint brush is also handy.

Is there anything that you think I should add ? If so, add a comment and I’ll add it to the list.

1/7/14 http://rogha.tumblr.com/ : On you list, you definitely need to add more safety pins then you ever thought possible. Everyone loves the chick with the safety pins. Personally I recommend that stick on Velcro. I always bring some pads or tampons, and even if you’re a manly man, because you never know, I’ve met girls crying in bathrooms because they don’t have a euro or whatever. And be generous with your shit too.

1/7/14 Anonymous: Hey, on the “Con Survival Kit” post, I would just like to suggest adding water. I almost passed out from the heat at my very first con (I was in a heavy costume with a wig) and had to leave after about an hour.

1/7/14 http://okapirose.tumblr.com/: -Will second water, if you’re going in a group, have everyone contribute a couple bucks and buy a big thing of water bottles. Soda is NOT a substitute, if you’re thirsty, grab water, not Ramune. Also, if you spill it, less of a problem to clean up, especially if in cosplay.

-Bring more cash than you think you’ll need (and in small bills to avoid the need to try and break large bills). Keep a portion set aside for things like tipping.

-Multi-plug outlet. Hotel rooms have maybe two, if you’re lucky, three outlets total. Get yourself a multi-plug outlet and encourage roommates to do the same so that all gadgets can be charged overnight without outlet fighting or electronics going dead halfway through the day.

Check ahead of time to see if there’s a grocery/drug store within close proximity of your hotel or the con itself. This way in the event you do forget anything, you’ll know where to go quickly.

1/7/14 http://skullbunneh.tumblr.com/: Can I add that one should never use super glue on craft foam? Because it will eat away at the foam! Learned that the hard way when my friend had a cosplay emergency one year and when we went to the “cosplay first aid” area, they put super glue on her weapon when it was snapped off at one point and the super glue made it even worse!

1/8/14 http://annu-the-cat-girl.tumblr.com/ I got one of those cheap sewing kits from walmart and I brought it with me and it saved me before a contest. <3

1/8/14 http://haikujitsu.tumblr.com/ Very useful thing to have. Painkillers are especially important when you’re wearing a wig, prosthetics or heels. Also (and this is a tip I got from the OP), if you want to carry your kit around with you, try to find something that blends with your cosplay.

1/9/14http://baby-fear-the-reaper.tumblr.com/ Adding to this list- Hair spray and baby powder. If you’re a bigger girl like me, chafing sucks balls, and baby powder between the thighs can do a great deal. Also it’s good for your wig if you’ve got a little bit too much shine. Hair spray is good to prevent things from riding up or going where they anrt suppose to (believe it or not), it’s great to put on the bottom of shoes if they are feeling a little slick, and you never know when you might need a little extra to keep that curl in place.

I would add to the kit:

Double sided foam mounting tape - for those pesky costumes that just won’t stay put

Clear thread and needle - that way you won’t have to bring separate thread for every different fabric color

I would suggest duct tape over the masking tape.

1/9/14 http://anycakeyoulike.tumblr.com I’m also going to advise that people bring toupee tape because apparently this concept is not widely-known in the cosplay community from what I’ve seen, but I learned it from when I did competitive dance, and iIt’s literally the most useful thing ever: double-sided tape in nice wide, rectangular strips that will stay forever and can hold up anything. Heavy/long wig that keeps slipping? Slap a piece on your forehead and it won’t even move. Boob almost falling out of a low-cut top? Toupee tape your cosplay to your boob and it will stay all day. When I danced, we used it for arm or leg pieces that tended to slip a lot (so your thigh-highs that keep falling down? three pieces of toupee tape/leg and you won’t have to think about it all day). It won’t even hurt at all to remove (unless it’s along your hairline, then you might get some small hairs) and you can get a box of like 20-30 strips of it from most beauty stores (I go to Sally’s where I live, idk about y’all). And the box is small enough to just throw the entire thing in your bag and take it for the day!

3/16/14 http://carinthegarage6.tumblr.com/ added: Something that would be good for people wearing big skirts, especially ones with lots of layers (like with lots of tulle or something) is anti-static spray. Being a dancer I know how annoying having your costume stick to your legs is, and anti-static spray helps a lot.

I ran a goblet/potion puzzle for my players tonight. I think it worked quite well.

I had seven goblets, with seven different mocktails, and each player needed to chose the correct one to solve a puzzle. You don’t need to use goblets, but I think it added to the atmosphere and was useful for giving clues. In this case, the colors and patterns on the goblets were important.

I suppose you could also do this using different colored cordial, as you will get much bolder colors but I prefer the mocktails. I also spent 2 months trying to figure out what my player’s favorite drinks were.

(NB, if you set this puzzle up, don’t make your answer dependent on someone drinking something they are allergic to. I also recommend against alcohol, as most players will need to drive home.)

Recipes for the mocktails below. The mocktails in glass correspond to the same position as those in the goblets in a circle.

a man of Lebanese/Turkish descent on twitter posted a AI-made reconstruction of the face of Jesus and said he looks like family and he’s so right…

here’s the original tweet btw

Not to sound like a 90s shallow prep, but how you dress can affect your self esteem, and putting energy into wearing things you actively like and projecting an ideal of yourself through fashion instead of seeing clothes as things you have to put on out of obligation helps.

It also can give you a sense of control over your appearance that you otherwise wouldn’t have lmao

Can you do something for me, please?

I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship. 

Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another. 

Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it.
