If you can't figure out which Ayu you want to cosplay, then you shouldn't cosplay Ayu.
I was actually very hurt by your rudeness.. My having others decide for me is because there are so many faces to Ayu that I just wanted to find which would be most recognizable for others at the convention. A lot of people know about Ayu, but there are also a lot that haven't even heard of her. I just want to spread the word about my (and most other's) favorite idol.

As for "trying to please people": I do want to please people, but not how you mean it. I want people to smile and say "Wow! I've seen a picture of that lady before!" when they see me. I'm not trying to get attention out of this.. well, maybe at the con, but most certainly not from the board members.

Those who have chosen to aid and assist in my cosplay venture have chosen to do so out of their own free-will, and maybe- just maybe- they have fun playing dress up and dollie (I know I love it when I get to dress my friends up for conventions. We make girlie parties out of it~! ^_^)

But anyway.. it isn't like I wrote something like "I'LL KILLS YA IF YA DUN ANSWER MEH! I SWEAR IT >_<" or "RESPOND TO THIS OR I SHALL EAT YOUR UNBORN CHILDREN" . Like I said, they chose to help me, and I thank them.

I only hope that I can do a good job with the cosplay.. Even if I don't, it will be coming from my heart being as I am an avid Ayumi fan. I've loved her music since "pokerface" (my penpal got me into it) and I'll continue to strive to have the energy and creativity she puts into her audience.. that's what makes us love her, ne?

I'm sorry if I sounded rude or callus, but I couldn't think of another way to respond to you, Nessa.

But please, if you don't like something, do not respond and vent out your frustrations on someone who is trying to show and tell about Ayu-chan.

Again, I apologize for my rudeness.
