Description Myself as Lulu and my boyfriend Miles as Wakka from Final Fantasy X. Photo taken by Lionel at Otakon 2008. These costumes were quite the beast to construct and wear - I sewed everything and styled both wigs, Miles constructed his armor, sandals, and blitzball, and they both take roughly 2 hours to get into. D: We've sworn to attempt easier costumes in the future! Lionel did a beautiful job with this shoot; he managed to make a typical handicap ramp look absolutely epic. XD

Please no critiques/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy! <3

Thank you! There really aren't many Wakka cosplayers out there, so I was very happy when my bf agreed to cosplay him with me.

Thanks! I can't imagine anyone with Wakka hair, LOL. It would be so awkward, since the front would be so long and the sides would be all shaggy. ^__^; After having styled my bf's wig, I've had enough of Wakka hair, LOL.

Well, if you were good with spikes, I suppose it could work out. ^__^ Go for it!

Saaner In reply to ??? [2009-01-24 23:10:03 +0000 UTC]

You both look exactly like the characters you are portraying! That is the best and most accurate Wakka I have ever seen! I've been to a couple anime conventions and usually if someone cosplays as Wakka they have HUGE hair and don't even have the right body type...almost more of a parody then anything else.

I have to show this to my boyfriend when he gets back! Awesome job!

LOL, your description of other Wakka cosplayers has given me a fantastic mental picture! I've seen several, all of whom are girls and given it the absolute best shot they could, but it's just not a character design that works well on a female frame. I'm glad you enjoyed our costumes!

This is a great shot, and you two have portrayed Wakka & Lulu better than any other cosplayers I've ever seen! Seriously, you ARE Wakka & Lulu, and that is not an exaggeration.

OMG I wish I was back in school. ;__; I'm hanging in there, but barely. Started my new teaching job, which is quite a handful. No time for fun, no time for cosplay, no time for anything. BOO. The only real saving grace is that I'm only 40 minutes from my boyfriend [as opposed to, oh, 20 HOURS t__t], so I get to see him most weekends. Good luck with school!

Well thats good! What grade are you teaching? That must be fun either way, unless its High School... because Freshman are retarded :B

thats great that youre so much closer to him though! It must have been tough being so far away .

LOL, true. A lot of the kids love me. But the 4th and 5th grades try to walk all over me, so I have to be an absolute bitch to them. Quizzes and tests every day. D:
