Alright, so who will be attending this year´s GalaCon in a neat cosplay?
Doesn´t matter if selfmade, bought or rented. Tell us what you are planning and maybe show some pics of you and your cosplay, WIPs, references, [/spoiler]whatever you like.
I for instance will be cosplaying Cherry Jubilee. As a reference I used this fanart by an artist from DeviantArt.
50% of the cosplay are done, since I only bought some nice accessories as shown below.
Jeez, didn´t think it´d be that hard to find a yellow alice band with cherries on it. So I just bought a simple one made of satin and will handpaint the cutie mark on it. If possible I might even print the cutie mark several times on transparent film (like the one that is used for printing on t-shirts) and iron it onto the surface of the alice band.

The cosplay´s not finished yet but as soon as it will be done I´ll make sure to post pics. :) First I need to buy light yellow clothes and tailor them to fit perfectly and as close to the reference as possible. Maybe I´ll give a sneak preview by the end of the month.

I won't exactly cosplay, but who knows, I might have a new cowboy hat by that, so that counts, right? *g*

I'll be cosplaying as my OC for sure. As for any other costumes, that remains to be seen.

Yeah, I know what time it is. But I´m bored and just couldn´t resist to set up for test purposes.
Made a background similar to the one used in the reference picture posted above. The clothes are neither final yet nor is the alice band done. Just wanted to try out how difficult it is to do the hair like Cherry Jubilee. I suppose that there´s not a professional hairstylist here who could give me some advice, eh?

Does that pipe-hair glow ? I know that I've seen couple of girls on raves who actually had the same but it would even light up and glow O.o
Also I do envy the ability to wear skirt in august weather in Dj-pon3 outfit.. white jeans in such weather are gonna be a pain.. I really do hope the building will have A-C on ! (cosplaying Vinyl Scratch fan too.. rave on!)

Hay, I've seen that costume before! As I recall, it was one of my favorites. Hope I get a chance to meet the creator this year.

Yes it has A-Con.
And the pipes can be lit by adding LEDs. Since they need only small amounts of power, even a rather small and weak battery can sustain them for a hours. AND isn't so heavy and easy to hide.
That's just theory however.

-Mel It does glow under blacklight, it would be able to glow under normal circumstances if I added LEDs, like stargaze suggested.
: ) I've never done that before, might give it a try! Would look nice in the ballroom, if they let me in in that outfit. There's no way Vinyl Scratch would wear formal attire 
I'm looking forward to seeing your outfit, maybe we get to take some pics together 
I'll be in the dealer's room on saturday, haven't decided yet what I am going to wear on sunday. I'd love to sew a second mlp cosplay, but I think I won't have time for that as I am going to focus on plushies.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing lots of amazing cosplayers at the con

I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Just needs the right approach.
I guess there's gonna be a photo frenzy anyway.

Althou these are only prototype and they are fresh from print, I'm preparing both casual and formal DJ-Pon3 cosplay
Sadly the hand-made nature of these ties and limitations of the digital print machine are causing some colour spills and not even lines buuuut lets just pretend its all ok!
Still need to find a pernament marker or way to get the stickers to actually stick on the headphones.. their bendy nature is rather.. annoying.
Getting a white tuxedo on other hand is gonna be a challenge ..

Dude.
Awesome.
These aren't glasses, this is a visor and beyond cool.
A white tuxedo? Well, a tuxedo is hard to come by, the cheaper version is a "suit". That's what you need.
I got one for (*drums*) mere 30€ nine years ago. Not sure if that helps, but I got one at C&A.
German site won't help, let me see if I can find another one ...
[Edit:]

This one perhaps? Now you need to look round there, perhaps there's one available online.
Else, try to look if a store closeby has one. I'll google a bit more.
[Edit2:]
Doesn't help. Try amazon and ebay, perhaps you are lucky as dumb. Else, good luck, but tring to find stuff available for you is gambling, since I can hardly tell what is proper and what not.
Good Luck!

@Melgarh: Gosh, that visor and headphones look great! Can´t wait to see you in that with a nice suit on. :) You´ll look great, I can tell. You´ll be a sight for everyone, so prepare to be asked for taking photos a heavy lot!
@Pinku: Adding LEDs would make that outfit even more powerful than it already is. Looks good on you but I´m afraid you won´t get access to the formal gala event in that. As far as I´m informed the con staff is working on the dress code (which we had last year too) and this time the guards will strictly look after that the dress code is followed. If I´m not completely wrong there will be a disco where you can shoot off that awesome cosplay though.
