Ideally,<br /> this person lives in the bay area (where I am). This way, I can<br /> follow them from the Bay Area down to Los Angeles. It'll be a really<br /> fun profile about what cosplay means to you and the type of community<br /> around it. Please send me your name, age, and a photo of you in cosplay.</p> <p>thanks!<br /> matthew sultan<br /> <a href="mailto:msultan@current.com" rel="nofollow">msultan@current.com</a> </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/looking-for-an-enthusiastic-cosplay-model#post-850 Mon, 25 May 2009 23:10:31 +0000 Clover 850@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Aww this sounds awesome, but I don't have any handmade costumes.

It's lovingly detailed and I can see you've put time into developing it. I really appreciate that and think you would be great for the shoot. I am meeting up with the photographer and stylist to start working out the scheduling details, but it sounds like the tentative time frame for the shoot at this point will be either the last weekend of May or one of the first couple of weekends in June.</p> <p>If that sounds like something you could do, go ahead and email me at BRIJ.DESIGN @ GMAIL.COM and I can give you further details on the project.</p> <p>Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon! </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/looking-for-an-enthusiastic-cosplay-model#post-780 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:41:45 +0000 Sailor Moon 780@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>hi I am interested . you can see my pictures @ <a href="http://www.myspace.com/tsukinousagi7" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/tsukinousagi7</a> </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/looking-for-an-enthusiastic-cosplay-model#post-734 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:31:39 +0000 brij 734@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Looking for 1 serious cosplayer to model in a photoshoot. This is open to any genre/fandom and to both guys and girls. A handmade costume is preferred over a fully store-bought one, but we want to hear from anyone who might be interested. If you are looking to have your cosplay shot by a professional in a studio setting, this is a great opportunity! You will receive copies of the high-quality final shot(s) for your own use. :)</p> <p>An official date for the shoot has not yet been set, but the tentative time-frame is going to be around the end of May/beginning of June '09 and will be taking place in downtown SF. If you are interested and believe you'll be available, please send an email with three pictures: 1.) a regular headshot, 2.) your costume, and 3.) you in your costume. These don't have to be super-amazing photos or anything like that, just something to help us in our decision.</p> <p>Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you! :)</p> <p>---------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Contact address: brij.design @ gmail.com </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/check-out-bayanime-sponsor-carrotanime-for-custom-cosplay-and-more#post-644 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 19:25:37 +0000 Jason Lee 644@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Nice! </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/check-out-bayanime-sponsor-carrotanime-for-custom-cosplay-and-more#post-638 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:02:52 +0000 Ann 638@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Hey everyone, we've got a new sponsor this month... the cosplay store <a href="http://carrotanime.com/store/" rel="nofollow">CarrotAnime</a>!
