Cosplay Party

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Cosplay Party

Having a movie sword replica collection can be the most satisfying hobby for many. If you are planning to start one or just considering whether it is the right hobby for you, this article is written to help you take that first step – acquiring information specifically what types of swords you should collect. If you search the net, you will find countless sword designs with detailed product specification. With all these options, it can be daunting at first to just figuring out which sword is suitable for you. So to make things simple, you need to know what is the purpose of the sword that you desire. The 3 categories of sword types available in the market are grouped based on that purpose.

Let’s start with the first sword type – the decorative sword which is also frequently referred to as display sword. The name decorative sword clearly states its purpose – making your fireplace, study or games room look fabulous. Decorative swords are generally made from but not limited to stainless steel making them more corrosive-resistant than common carbon steel. Even though meant for display purposes, they do come in both sharpened and unsharpened blades.

Bear in mind that decorative swords are not to be used in sword duels or weekend cutting parties. If you still insist, have a paramedic team on standby. Most decorative swords (99.99%) will break under abusive forces. Expect chipped edges and perhaps flying blade pieces, the latter possibly land you an “involuntary manslaughter” charge.

The second type of sword is the practice sword used for beginner and intermediate sword training exercises. The practice sword helps students to learn basic sword techniques (offence and defence), sword handling and balanced footwork. Practice swords can be made from a variety of materials mainly wood, plastic, latex, foam, aluminium and even steel. They do not have sharp edges for safety reasons which is perfect for sword duel exercises where students apply the skills they learned to the test.

You probably heard of sword cutting exercise in advanced training where actual swords with razor-sharp edges are used to cut bamboo, plastic containers and roll-bundled newspaper. Skilled and experienced professionals use functional sword for this purpose which is described in the next section.

The final type is the functional sword, the real thing – designed and forged to withstand the brute forces exerted from cutting, stabbing and metal-to-metal clobbering. A fully-functional sword is one magnificent piece of engineering and sometimes termed “battle-ready” cause it really is. The blade and tang is made as a single piece from high carbon steel which have gone through a proper heat treatment. In case you are wondering, the tang is the part of the blade that extends into the hilt. A full-tang extends all the way to the hilt end typical of many European swords. A partial-tang is more favoured in Japanese Katana.

The cross-guard, grip and pommel of a functional sword are carefully designed and made from durable materials. If you plan to have a weekend cutting party, a fully functional sword is the best piece to use. Well actually it’s a must. You are less likely to worry about damaging the sword, just keep your eye on where the sword is going and make sure you’re gripping it firmly. If you don’t have any previous training on handling a functional sword, go get one. Remember “involuntary manslaughter”?

Well there you have it, a quick walkthrough on the types of swords available. Before we end this article, a few practical examples should help clear any doubts and strengthen your understanding. Let’s say you intend to use a movie sword replica for an upcoming cosplay event. For this a decorative sword made from wood, plastic or foam is best. Decorative sword can be manufactured identical to the design as shown in the movies.

However If you are looking for a movie sword to cut objects and work out a sweat, a functional sword is mandatory. Take note that a functional sword may not resemble exactly the design in the movies because most of the stunning designs you see on the silver screens are just that – designs. If a functional sword is forged exactly as seen, it may not behave like a true sword. The weight could be too much to wield, there’s heavy resistance to swinging or the whole sword vibrates violently upon contact. Not so functional or practical anymore. There are some manufacturers who apply design enhancements to make the movie replicas as original and functional as possible.

French Maid

French Maid

One of the most popular Halloweens costumes that ranks consistantly in the top 10 Halloween Costumes is the sexy French Maid Costume. However, knowing what style is suitable for the Halloween party you’re going to could be a little hard. There’s a good range of this style of Halloween costume on the market and buying the wrong one can be just shaming.

Many costume makers will cater for two different markets, the first being the Costume Party Market or the Halloween Costume Market and the second being the Fetish Party Market or personal party market and the structure of the costume will differ quite significantly.

There is usually quite a difference in the style of material utilized in both markets as an example costumes that are going to be worn in public are often made of a PVC style fabric or lycra material. The reason behind this is just sustainability and ruggedness for the wearer. There would be nothing worse than to be in a crowded place and your costume fall apart.

Girl Costumes for the home party market or fetish party market are often made of a stretchy mesh fabric. Most sexy French Maid Costumes for the personal use market will only come with a basic dress, apron and g-string whereas the Halloween party costumes market will probably have items similar to what the French Maid had in the 1940 to 1950’s.

The Halloween costumes may include items like full length gloves, a cap, stockings, collar and more however what is included does rely on the brand of the costume. You will also find the costumes for the personal use market will come in one of two sizes and that’s O / S meaning one size fits most or O / S XL which means one size for and size people. Other costumes for the Halloween Party market will commonly be marked as little, medium, large or additional large.

If you do purchase a sexy French Maid Halloween Costume it is certainly worthwhile accessorising your costume with items like a feather duster, costume jewellery and a cool set of high heeled shoes. These items can really increase the perceived class of your costume.

Boot Tops

Boot Tops
What are your thoughts on the successful dealerships who are being given the boot, one of whom was in the top?

2% of sales?

Now I realize that dealerships have to close – but why successful ones?

This whole thing is wrong. If they are trying to save money, they should get rid of the unsuccessful ones.

However, the main problem is that some of these cars (e.g., Chrysler) are just junk! If you build a bad product, companies shouldn’t remain in business. Taxpayers shouldn’t be bailing out the car companies.

Sorry but I will NEVER buy an American made car again. I’ve been burned twice. Do the math: Ford that is dead at 60K miles or a Toyota that goes for 400K miles. (Our 1992 Camry just died – rest in peace!)

Halloween Licensed
will my license get suspended if….?

hi, i live in New Jersey and i wanted to know if i will get my license suspended for getting a ticket for having too many passengers in the car with a provisional license. i have to appear in court on Halloween. i got the ticket about 2 days ago. thanks.

Just say to the judge that you were trying to be a friend and helping your friends get home or school. Maybe tell the judge just the truth may help you out .
But i don’t think he or she will take your license away if this was your first time .
Dress to impress also.
