/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I know this isn't /r9k/, but I still gotta share my social awkwardness feels. I never feel compelled to start conversation, it's always more comfortable for me to sit and say nothing than bother to try and engage someone. I don't have autism (as far as I know), I just find social situations to be difficult because I can never decide what to do and/or am afraid of saying something stupid.

It's crippling, because I enjoy going to cons but I miss out on so much because I just never feel like initiating interaction.

I'm brand new to cosplaying and I figured that Isabelle from ACNL would be a good beginner's costume. However, I'm having issues with her wig. I have no idea how to go about making the yellow part of her bun. Should I dye it? Is it even possible/worth it to do?
Also, if I do end up dying it, should I also dye the ears, or should I make them out of fabric? Thanks a lot.
