Ok, so as opposed to doing my usual Master Roshi cosplay (despite the fact that it was a hit last summer), I decided that this year I wanted to take the Japanese fashion route. I think harajuku/cyberpunk fashion is one of the coolest things ever. So, I'm starting to get to work on the whole outfit. I kinda wanted to fuse the ideals of Steampunk (victorian era clothes, goggles, etc) with Harajuku and cyberpunk. So I already purchased a neon gas mask and mono-goggle, but I'm not sure what to do as far as hair/wig and the rest of the ensemble. So, if anyone could help that would be beyond awesome.

Thanks!

Joe

AW, but that's part of the fun XD

Seriously though, Start with Ebay to find items then shop around. It helps to work off all ready existing ideas though
