Just a few other pointers:

If you want to be noticed, people want interesting, big, colorful costumes. We've all seen Thief Rikku...but the more eye-catching Warrior Rikku might get you more attention. Kairi will always get more pictures over Naminé because Kairi's is a little bit more complex and stands out much more than Naminé's white dress. Last year I was a Rock-star character from my novel. Nobody knew who he was, but I wore bright make-up and interesting clothes, so people wanted my picture even though they didn't know who I was.



Original costumes are a plus. I had everyone taking a picture of a man with an arrow above him saying, "Generic Asian Male". It was simple, but funny and original, so everyone loved him. If you try Piccolo and aren't so great, chances are you'll still get lots of attention because nobody really tries Piccolo, and you'll get major props for breaking out of the mold.




People like completed costumes. How many times have I seen someone with an awesome Vash coat...but no Vash hair or glasses? It's a huge turn-off. If they want to see a Vash coat, they will go on eBay. But hey dont' want to see a Vash coat - they want to see Vash.
