Description I kept this for the day I hit the one million pageviews.
Which is today.

Haruka Tenoh of Sailor Moon


I've never posted a photo of me cosplaying a woman. Actually I didn't do this in years (2002 must have been the last time, I think). So why not break with this tradition to celebrate today?



I tried to pick a fitting character for me. It's upon you to decide if I succeeded.

I know, Haruka is not really the prototype of a girl. Actually she's the model tomboy of the generation that grew up with Sailor Moon, just as myself.
I still picked her for this occassion. I thought about cosplaying her for years, but I never did it.
I don't think I have the body to wear a Sailor Suit. Like, not at all. At least I wouldn't feel comfortable.
And Haruka is cooler than Sailor Uranus. Way cooler.

That's why I picked a casual outfit of hers, rather manga-style than anime. The anime clothes are so awful late '80s XD But the main reason is that cosplaying a woman wearing men's clothes doesn't make any sense. I wanted it to be visible that I'm cosplaying a woman.

So I tried to do it in an as feminine as possible way. Haruka is a woman, even if she's a tomboy most of the time.
That's why I took the leather motor jacket and still wore feminine clothes that I believed to be fitting for her.

I hope you like it. The wig looks a bit very much yellow, due to the light. I hope it's still ok for you.




Thanks again for reaching the one million mark! Let's take off together to the next one!!







(me) as Haruka Tenoh
Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon

I am just going toward the distances beyond glory
Still left on my lips is the proof of our vow
To the other side of the morning glow I keep running, surely
You have engraved in my heart, shining brightly with gold

This is a great casual Haruka! I agree, the anime clothes are awful, though nothing tops Setsuna's purple dress.

Anime- und Mangacharaktere sind immer Stereotype. Und die MΓ€dchen- und Frauenbilder darin sagen mir einfach ΓΌberhaupt nicht zu, die Jungs hingegen viel mehr. Also hab ich mich darauf verlegt.

Siberianchan [2010-10-02 23:18:40 +0000 UTC]

The tomoyish attitude is mostly covered by the ripped look of the jeans top. (and a faded jeans top is not overly girly in general, no matter how it is cut - but that it is cut so low kinda says - open, wild, open-minded in any direction (which men mistake for "sexual direction"). Then the colour you connect with worker's jeans. And the ripped fabric...
Yep.
It definitely shows something feminine, by featuring feminine shapes - but it is anything but girly or buttoned up.

It definitely is Haruka.

And it looks so freaking good on you.

Major props for bringing back the '80s! Characters should stay true to their era, imo.

Also, great job on finding a character to suit you and portraying her accurately.

it's interesting because from that angle, as you're lifting your jaw, you look like someone else. or at least different. in fact, a friend and i were arguging if it was you until we saw that you said so. we were in shock; i honestly like you girly once in a while, maybe even a bit more frequently. cuz as a girl, you have a reallyyyyyyyyy GREAT body, especially in this picture. i actually wish i had your body. the blush aand girlish was shocking, but i like it. because I LOVED HARUKA! so girl or girl, you're perfect. it's definitely a good twist for you. and out of curiosity, i take it you prefer to dress like a guy because you like it that way? or do you really prefer to BE a guy? XD because you have beautiful masculine features--but like haruka, once you're in girl clothes, you're GORGEOUS as a girl.

I don't think that I dress like a guy, I just dress the way I like the best. I wouldn't say I'm 'a woman' or want to be 'a man' - I'm just the way I am, and I like myself the way I am. No one should bother being a stereotype but live the way s/he wants to^_-
