9. A NOTE ON 'PASSING' • Passing: looking good enough so you can ‘pass’ as a girl • This workshop will assume you want to convincingly look like a girl to look the most like your character • So no Sailor Bubba (tho we still love him <3)
10. PICKING A CHARACTER
11. CHARACTERS
12. CHARACTERS: TIPS What characters are easy to pull off, and what characters are very hard? • Choose someone that fits your body, hair color • Revealing, and very plain cosplays are both hard
13. APPEARANCE
14. HAIR REMOVAL • Shaving: cheap and easy • Veet cream: more expensive but less irritation • Waxing / epilating: painful but lasts longer • Wear a pantyhose over shaved legs for the best look
15. EYEBROWS • Cleaning up your eyebrows makes a huge difference • Don’t overdo it
16. SHOES • Arguably the most important part of being a girl ;) • Wear them before the con! • Shoes in large sizes: Silhouette (up to 47),
 van Haren (up to 44), 
 Caland (up to 46),
 Letra (up to 50), AliExpress
17. NAILS • Don’t bite your nails before the con • Clear nail polish • Not really necessary but nice detail
