Since I need plenty of time to get it all together, maybe someone on here can help me...

My daughter's school has an anime club, and I'll be one of the chaperones for MTAC in April. Don't know how much I'll get to see and enjoy, seeing as I'll be herding cats...er, about 40 middle schoolers...but at the very least I need a kick-ass outfit. Since I'm more into Sci Fi/Horror than Anime, and we've never been to MTAC, I am in need of some couture advice. For AdventureCon I'll probably have some Browncoat gear by then, but for MTAC?

I've thought about...
Trixie (one teacher is going to be Speed Racer)
Lady Penelope (from Thunderbirds)
Science Patrol member (from Ultraman)

I am under strict orders to not mortally embarass my 14-year-old. I have threatened to default as Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.

NOOOO..... not Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo! anything but that! lol. I've watched a couple of those episodes... it has no storyline... but anyways...

it depends what you look like. Different ppl have different styles. this said, this is the only way I can really tell how to help you. I know some of my fav female anime characters are Kagome, Sango (both from Inuyasha), Rukia (from bleach)...

but to be more towards their ages... what about Misty (from pokemon), or someone from YuGiOh. that would be cool for them...

There's also Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny, shoudl be easy to put a costume together for them, you'll just be in trouble if there's a Brock there.

How about Kiki? That would be dead easy to make as a costume.
