Inspiration: My friend Richii wanted to do a Tamaki costume, and then my friend Scruffy Rebel wanted to do a Haruhi costume, and since I loved Ouran, I wanted to jump on the Host Club bandwagon! :D And of course, if I was going to jump on the bandwagon, I was going to drag Yuriy onto it as well! XD

Favorite Aspect: Getting to wear these costumes with all my friends as a complete Ouran group (including the awesome Ashley Rice as Eclaire)! Yuriy makes an AWESOME Mori, and I LOVED being Kaoru with my twin-chan Arkadia as Hikaru! AND our awesome patches that Jinyo made for us!!! :D

Least Favorite Aspect: Nothing! These costumes are so much fun to wear! :D

Easiest Task: Buying practically everything to make these costumes. The jackets we bought from Chadwick's, and Jinyo found a place that sells nice black ties uber-cheap. The only thing we had to do was add a purple stripe to the tie, change the pockets and switch the buttons/buttonholes.

Hardest Task: Styling those twin wigs. I had exactly how I wanted the wigs to look like in my head, but translating that to real life was difficult. It took a few tries, but in the end I was happy with how they came out (thanks to Richii and Arkadia for doing most of the styling!).
