Description So sorry if it sucks then.

A lot of people ask me about this, so I figured it's time to share my secrets! XD (yeah, "secrets")

Basically, I don't actually look like a man. It's a very clever illusion, and one that apparently works seeing as I often find myself getting dirty looks in the bathroom at cons ("I swear, I belong here just as much as you!" TwT). But still, it's a ILLUSION nonetheless. This pretty much just describes what I do, but it's obviously is going to vary a little from person to person. Take what you will out of this, I am in no way shape or form saying "THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A MAN!"
Also, if you need more resources, this is a great read:

Good luck with your makeup then!

Yeah, you've helped me.
Now I need my brother to teach me how to act like a guy.

I could give you some rudimentary lessons. It's mainly in the way you carry your lower body. Don't sway your hips, walk heel to toe, lead with your lower half...
I find putting my hands in my pockets helps a lot with my walk.
Also, when you're sitting, leave plenty of room for your crotch. And don't cross your legs.

I figured out earlier that it's easier to move like a guy if you forget you have hips.

I believe I saw you at San Japan and had to do a double take because even in person this is very convincing! Thanks for the tips.

Sock-Monkey-Renegade In reply to nekomatalee [2012-01-22 09:02:35 +0000 UTC]

I have always wondered a bit at the fact that this is convincing in public actually, because I seriously have yet to meet a man my height. XD

Mmmn... yep, definitely gonna use this... I'm tired of going through the trouble of binding and styling manly-ish-ness to be the Tenth, but then people say "Love your fem!Ten!" It hurts me as a pretend man. Thanks for the tutorial, love your Tennant cosplay, and keep being awesome!

I'll try!
*trips over own feet and falls up some stairs*
Well, I hope that you can become an even better pretend man now! For that is my goal, to empower pretend men across the globe! *epic pose*

Ha ha it's a meme. [link] It's one of my favorites.

Oh yeah I should actually comment on the deviation, eh? This is super duper helpful even if I don't have any immediate crossplay plans. I think I had thrown around the idea of doing a photo shoot as Uncle Jesse from Full House with... well Jessie. XD It might work but I don't even know. That man is tan.

I love your Doctor!
I found you at Cosplay.com while going through the A-kon forum. Can't wait to see you there!
I'll be the one demanding way too many pictures /creep

Seriously, though, awesome job. c:

Unfortunately, I won't be going to A-Kon this year. Sort of an emergency situation came up...

But thank you nonetheless! And thanks for all the favourites, and the watch!

Also, if you attend San Japan in San Antonio (which you should, it's a really great con, one of the best, if not the best in Texas), I'll be there!
