Commentary:
This was my first real cosplay experience (yes, real, I don't count being Sailor Jupiter for Halloween in 8th grade. :P) The costume was fairly easy to make; my mom (who did most of the work, actually) and I finished the costume in less than a few days. I'm sure it could have been even shorter if it weren't due to so many dumb things I did. -_-; Anyway, I really liked cosplaying Rinoa, and I had tons of fun for my first cosplay experience.

For the AX, I had to remake the skirt 'cause I lost it. -_- It was great having Joe to pose with! I also had black black hair, but no blonde extensions. I think I'm done with this costume. On to bigger, greater things!
