Character: Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop) Coostume made by Yaya Model: Yaya Photo was taken at Sakuracon 2011 by Paul Tien, thank you!
Since the year is full swing, I can finally share the photo that I submitted to the 2012 Cosplay for a Cause calendar for month April! Thank you everyone who supported the calendar and helped us raise over $30,000 USD to donate to the Japanese Red Cross!!!
I thought Faye would be a great character to be included in the calendar because Cowboy Bebop was such an influential and iconic Japnese animation series, between the storyline, animation quality, MUSIC BY YOKO KANNO, character development... and Faye is one of anime's all time coolest female characters. The costume itself was fairly easy to put together, I sewed the top and booty shorts, cut and sewed two wigs together to create the signature Faye hairstyle, and altered the remaining pieces such as boots and red shirt.
For those who asked, CFAC is not doing a 2013 calendar but we are hoping to produce another one in the future. I am however offering a self-produced 12 month cosplay calendar for 2013
