It's Over-Ambitious Cosplay Time! Post #4: How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

 Ha. Hahahahaha.

Fuck.

Back of head mold was so glued to the wig head that I broke both of them trying to get it off.

Front of head mold grew a bunch of MOTHERFUCKING BLACK MOLD on the inside over the past week.

Both are now in the trash and I am back to square one.

Again. 

Really not sure how to proceed from here. Make another go with the paper mache? Try a different material? 

My knee-jerk reaction is to want to return all the other supplies I bought last weekend and abandon this project entirely.

See guys, this is why I don't do 'real' cosplay.

That really sucks, i'm sorry. Don't give up though. They the paper mache again. Just dry each layer. If you have the fan on it shouldn't take long per layer, and it'll def prevent mold. I believe you can do this!

NO! No giving up! You can still do this! What is life without setbacks? BORING. YOU LEARN FROM MISTAKES. YOU DO BETTER NEXT TIME. NEXT TIME IS NOW.

JUMP JUMP JUMP.

I am way too invested in your cosplay that I won't even get to *see* to let you give up now.

Think about it: What did you learn? You need maybe slightly better materials? You learned how to wrap your hair! You learned you need a longer amount of drying time. In comparison, the next attempt should be easy!

I'm totally serious on this: Don't give up! I think you can do it. You are so *encouraging explicative* capable! Nothing worth all the AMAZING PRAISE you're going to get (from fans and FROM DELPHINE HERSELF!) is ever easy.
