Laguna Loire


Laguna is the mysterious man-from-the past in the famous Squaresoft video game, Final Fantasty VIII. He's a lot of fun, being both dashingly attractive, incredibly dorky, and somehow a journalist and fighter at heart. He was quite fun to portray, even if the costume didn't exactly fit right. ^_^;

Laguna Loire
Here is me, Van Donovan, as Laguna Loire! =D This costume I can't take an ounce of credit for though. It was entirely made by Makkura, of iPlay, and worn by her to Fanimecon '01, so I'd have something of a partner there as Irvine. Consequently, I really loved her costume, and decided to steal it from her another weekend long after the con, so I could strut my stuff in it. So, here you see me inmy own backyard, with pictures graciously taken by her. ^_^; My hair, obviously, is too long, too wavy and the wrong colour, but it's a decent enough job for a little semi-cosplay. Makkura is quite differently shaped than I am, [well for starters I'm 5'7" and she's um, 5'2", I think] so parts of the costume were really big, or really small. LOL But everything looks in place in the pictures, more or less. The pants were a nice brown fabric, and the jacket was a really impressive mixture of pleathers. She even lined the jacket! I was totally impressed. The belt was the one thing that was sort of falling apart, but it was pinned back in the pictures, and worked well. The lemon, uh . . . is just a lemon. @_@ And, the boots are my Folken boots, since she wears size 7 in ladies, and . . . well that's just way too small. XD Enjoy!
More pictures to be added later, when she develops the film from HER camera! If you got any comments on this costume, please let me know! Thanks!
