Notes

Since Rock Lee can’t do Jutsu, I tied to think of what he would do if he wanted to pretend to do the Sexy-no-Jutsu.

This was made in a spur of the moment decision. I literally sewed it together in the car on the way to the convention.

My favorite part of this costume is watching people’s eyes twitching once they figure out what I’m supposed to be.

Notes

I love this costume. It’s by far the most comfortable to wear and almost everyone likes it.

The Gai-sensei with me is my husband, Gerry. He was a good sport and made his costume by himself. I only got him to wear it once, because he hated all the attention we were getting.

Notes

The hardest part of this costume was not the mask, but the vest. My sewing machine started to die in the middle, so some of the seams are atrocious.

The mask is made of paper clay and is quite light. Unfortunately, the elastic gives me a headache (I have a wussy head) so I can’t wear it for long.

The red squirrel that goes with it is by far my favorite part.

3rd Movie Lee

Notes

I debuted this the same day that the 3rd Naruto movie came out in Japan. No one knew who I was, and that includes my fellow Narutards.

This costume was created by ripping apart my Rock Lee costume and inserting the stripes. I did have to make a new pair of legwarmers, because for some reason Lee’s have no stripes in the movie.
