DIY Caesar Zeppeli Headband

Because I couldn't find any tutorials or ideas on making a Caesar Zeppeli headband and mine came out pretty good I'm gonna share what I did.

I asked on a Facebook with the video I'm linking below, how could I do something like it as it was impossible to do without a hairband or something sturdy underneath.
A belt was suggested and it worked perfectly! I used a canvas belt so I could tie it together.

 

I used 2 of these in the same width, cut one belt in 2 and glued it to the ends of the complete belt so it wouldn't be bulky near my forehead.

And I followed this tutorial on mute because I'm not really sure of the language, but it's do able by just watching, I did a short step by step with photos

Orange was the pink and purple was the black because it's darker, I used bias tape because it was the only matte thing I could get locally that had the colours I needed. I'm pretty sure I got 5.5 meters (550cm) of each colour the finished headband is roughtly measured as 2 meters (200cm) and I had a bit left over.

The belt is still underneath, it's doesn't stay tied as it's a bit bulky. I had a comment asking if the belt is still underneath or removed, it's still underneath.

Bodyline Costume410 Sailor Fuku Review

Since it's more cosplay related than fashion, I decided to put it on here.

I bought Costume410 in 7L
Blouse - Length 49cm, Bust 120cm, Shoulder length 43cm, Sleeve length 26.5cm
Skirt - Length 46cm, Waist 92-102cm

I needed to get the 7L for my waist, excuse the pun but it would be a waste to have a skirt that didn't fit ... in the waist.
So I thought I could downscale the top of the 7L.

To help judge the photos, I'm >110cm and >100cm just a bit, I'm also 158cm and like my wear my skirt higher up on my waist. Please excuse my work uniform, by the time I get back it's too dark and was in a bit of a rush. If anyone would like better photos please let me know.

The waist has a bit of shirring on each side so I had a bit of extra room.

I definately think it's worth the money, it's not that expensive and 7L is a pretty good size.

Quality is decent, it's a typical fuku, it's lighter than some more expensive ones I own.

Bodyline costume534 Maid Dress Review

I bought this last year in black and pink in advance of helping in the maid cafe again since last year I'd no outfit. I thought the black would be more useful since some Persona alt outfits are of maids and K-On characters have maid outs too, I'm sure there's a ton of other ones.

Anyway I got size 4L, priced at USD53
Dress - Length 88cm, Bust 110cm, Waist 98cm, Shoulder length 40cm, Sleeve length 63cm

I would say for sure it'll do 100cm waist, it fits a bit better now I'm just under the bust and waist measurements, I'm 158cm tall for height reference. There is no shirring and no stretch. IMO the lace was mess on this dress and I think it looks an awful lot smarter without it, see the photo below.

Here's some progress photos of the lace being removed, there's still some bits left on it, I have til the summer to fix it up though so not in a rush. The last one is the amount of lace that was removed.

Android Game: Janken

I saw that someone appreciated my review of Kenkenpa, so I decided to do another one.

• じゃんけん / Janken (free)

Which was brought out by Hangame (again) has a style similar to Rub Rabbits/Project Rub which I really like. The game is based on you (a guy) playing Rock - Paper - Scissors to get more dates with a girl, as the came progresses it gets more serious (it's better than grabbing at least). Hitting story mode shows the "Stage 1" and a light piece of music plays which I think is stunning. [Touch to continue] to go through dialogue (which I can't read).

Gameplay works like this: you start off with a choice of rock (blue), scissors (yellow) and paper (pink),

 The best choice here is rock, when you pick it counts down and "attack" will appear. To attack her with your heart, slide upwards to throw a heart at her, sometimes you can miss to try to keep it straight.

If you can't win, she hits you with something (stage 1 is a folded umbrella) and you'll start to sweat, but if you slide down you can put on a hard hat to protect yourself.

When you lose 3 lives, you get so sweaty it's game over, there's a continue but you'll lose your high score. You can also get game over from defending instead of attacking.

When you attack enough times and get 3 hearts you win!. You also get heart pieces.

The stages range change every so often, like to an office or subway and so do her outfits.

After playing and winning 3 times I passed stage 1

***

It's one of my favourite games on my phone, although not played it much since it was cleared it. The music is great in it even though the stage music is looped and the only other music is before the stage starts, which I used to leave on for ages. The only thing that annoyed me was if I turned off the game I had to start again from the beginning.

If you've any questions on this game, please feel free to ask.

Android Game: Kenkenpa

Since it's late and my tummy's a bit funny, I may as well do what I said 3 posts ago.

The first android game I'm going to review is

• Kenkenpa (Free)

Why? because it's one of the few games that's actually in English (lazy).

It's basically like hopscotch and DDR, you've to use your fingers to hit the circles as you hop up the street. Right now I'm in stage 3, not sure will I go further, really only did it for the blog, don't get the idea it's a bad game from that, read on! (more lazy).

It's a great game to have on your phone, you can play it for 5 minutes or a little bit more, but I didn't feel like playing it longer than that. It keeps a very childlike feel with the look of a blackboard and chalk which I think gives it a real charm. Controls are great too I love that it uses two fingers for the double jump and that there are other kinds of jumps too.

Of course in a rhythm game you need music and unfortunately it doesn't have a great selection. Stage 1's music was grand for having to hear it 4 times, as the stages go 1 - 1 to 1 - 4 with the same music. Stage 2's wasn't any better, it was just okay but definitely didn't like stage 3's at all and it put me off.
Some people might find the "keh"'s as you go along annoying but I find it helpful when I've played a stage before to kinda go along with it.

I'll get a video of me playing it soon.

Hopefully someone might have found this helpful. More Hangame reviews on the way.
