I tried searching "dreads", "dread locks" and "dreadlocks", but haven't found anything close to the corn-rowed and tied-back look worn by Hyde of L'arc-en-Ciel, example photos available at the various online articles here:

Anyone can recommend a hair mesh, please ?

I would need to be able to use the mesh in Poser.

Watch it live !!!

I have a problem when I see the small size of female hands of women cosplaying male characters. By problem, I mean that just by sighting the small hand dissolves the illusion of the male character being cosplayed.

The other whinge point I have is the size of the body. If you are chubby, please choose to cosplay a chubby character, unless it is all strictly for fun only. For competitions and more serious photography, it's best to be as close to the character being cosplayed as your physique and costume and makeup can get.

Of course, if you're a little kid in costume, no one expects you to be realistically portraying an adult character. It is the effect of cuteness which makes kid cosplay successful. On this point, I do not like to see adult-ified kids in adult-style costumes. I feel it is closer to kid abuse than kid cuteness. And it may be insulting to real adults of abnormally short stature.

After I have been running around the city for hours, just doing stuff for you so you don't need to do it, you snap at me and say I am bullying you ! Let's see how an internet illiterate like you get around doing all these things. I am just so damn annoyed with your attitude

Congratulations on being admitted as a Fellow, London College of Music.

It was an amazing examination recital; although I have to admit that at the start, I felt a little bit of exam nerves. I watched the examiners from the back of the room, and they appeared to write a lot of notes about each piece you performed. You gave an excellent performance, exam or no. We withheld our calls for Encore, because you would have thrown your shoes at us - ha ha ha ! Anyway, very well done !

Met Joey a few years back in Shibuya, Tokyo.  A very nice person.

Begs a lot of questions about how we perceive the world around us, how we process what we perceive, and why normal humans don't see these things.

And I wanted to post about it here, but LJ was dead

(look for the livejournal entry for the record)

Anyway, it was a totally amazing, fantastic, wonderful live performance. Crowd control was very well-managed, everthing was extremely civilised and smooth.

I was sick, but since I bought the concert tickets very early on, even before my father passed away, I decided I had to drag myself to see Laruku live.

I spent the first half of the concert seated, because the meds were making me woozy. Midway through, I felt better and stood up and joined in the audience fracas.

It was a truly happy and memorable event. Congratulations to L'arc-en-Ciel for their 20 years in music-making and entertainment.
