ok ab jetzt schreibe ich immer abwechselnd in deutsch und in englisch .. ^^
inga is one of my few cosplays this year. i was so hyped about the short anime and wanted to cos inga so BAAAAAAAADLY Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ
at first i wanted to sew this cosplay since it doesn't look too difficult. the problem was: i didn't had enough time for sewing. but still, i went looking for fabric with a friend of mine. i couldn't find proper fabric for inga's fluffy head-thingy (maybe because the place where i always go is rather a cheap place) .. no actually there was a place where the fabric was sold but that place is a expensive one and yeah .. ;_; ... so i decided to give up sewing myself and just simply buy it. not because i'm lazy
(ok yes) but because i just wanted to have a full cosplay costume which won't get ruined easily like my two other self-sewed cosplays (alice maidora vers., amaimon) ;_; ..
so i went internet-shopping, went through all the ebay auctions but everything was so expensive. so i thought of taobao and all those cheap prices .. and found a way to ship taobao things international. i won't mention the website here. yeah, so i bought things via the website x from taobao and the price didn't look too expensive. 60 euros for the whole costume plus wig and shoes. that's very cheap in contrast to ebay and other shops .. so i ordered. went through all the chinese reading and price comparing - brain fuck. and then had to pay extra 30 euros for service fee and international shipping .. means 90 euros altogether. btw i choose the fastest way of shipping.
yeah, i thought the parcel would arrive 2 or 1 day before the convention but it didn't. it was 2 days before the con. instead of the parcel i got a letter from the customs. FROM THE CUSTOMS. i had to go there with receipts and documents and the place of this customs center is like somewhere in the desert of vienna. and the problem was that i had school the next day til 2pm and the center closes at 1:30pm. yeah sucked a lot. so i begged my lovely grandfather to do this for me.
the next day. i kept on calling my grandpa during the breaks so he won't forget to go to that desert place in time because it takes about 2 hours for him to get there ... (SORRY, GRANDPA, I LOVE YOU) he didn't answer til 3pm. He said he got it but .. BUT .. had to pay 20euros. ok let's do maths. 90+20 euros = ? 120 EUROS !!!!!!!!! DAMNIT ... this cost just as much as from any international cosplay online store -.-
i was all angry til i opened the parcel.
omg.
it was like falling in love at first open.
