this was kind of a last minute costume thrown together on the spot at AE. a friend of mine had a pheonix costume she had no wig for, and was dressing up as classic rogue from the xmen animated series.

due to the heat wave, my miku costume was very hard to wear. the latex would over heat and would burn... so we had been messing around in the dorm and noticed a dorm mate had a wig perfect for jean grey. so i slipped into her wig and my other friend's pheonix costume and it was kinda like wearing footy pajamas the entire day. it was also relatively cool.

despite being last minute, this costume was fairly popular. i wore it for part of the day on friday, and then again briefly on saturday for the marvel/dc photo shoot. my friend was happy to have a matching xmen to wander with, and i was happy because i actually am a pheonix fan... though personally i like the dark pheonix version better XD

so problems with this costume were that it wasn't actually meant for me, so it's too big. i tried to disguise this by stuffing the excess parts beneath the sash. another problem was that the gloves aren't actually a separate piece, so i was stuck wearing them the whole day or to take my top off... which wasn't so great for eating :C
