The container should be large enough to fit your wine glass. The soft cloth is important, as it will help protect the wine glass from getting scratched. This method is great for glasses that have turned foggy. It is also good for tough wine stains. Do not use this one painted or glittered wine glasses. Soaking these glasses in water for long periods of time can cause the paint or glitter to flake off. Use just enough water so that the wine glass will be covered if you put it in. The vinegar will dissolve any wine or mineral residue. If you can't find any vinegar, you can use some baking soda or washing soda instead. Make sure that the washing soda or baking soda are completely dissolved; any remaining specks may scratch the glass. Washing soda will help remove cloudiness, but it may not remove wine stains. Baking soda will work the same way, just not as well. The wine glass should be completely submerged. If it isn't, add some more warm water. This will give the acids in the vinegar enough time to dissolve the stains. Hold the glass by the bowl. Do not hold it by the stem, especially if it is a crystal wine glass. The stem is very fragile, and may break. If the wine glass is still foggy, it is possible that the damage is permanent. Wine glasses, especially those made from crystal, often turn foggy if they are washed in the dishwasher. Spread the cloth over your table or counter. Set the wine glass upside down on it. If you live in an area that has hard water, you might want to dry the glass off by hand using a soft, lint-free cloth instead.

Summary: Line the bottom of plastic container with a soft cloth. Fill the bowl with warm water. Add five tablespoons of white vinegar. Lay the wine glass down in the container. Wait one to two hours before removing the wine glass. Rinse the glass using fresh water. Set the wine glass upside down on a soft, lint-free cloth to air dry.

Even if you will be buying the cosplay, you still have to take into account the shipping times. There is also a chance that the cosplay may not fit properly. If that happens, you'll have to take the time to adjust it. You should give yourself at least a month in order to make or buy the cosplay. If you will be commissioning the cosplay, you will need to give yourself even more time. Have lots of reference pictures ready. You can buy a set online from an anime cosplay shop or you can commission someone to make one for you. You can also make your own based on a robe pattern. If you choose to make your own Akatsuki robes, do the following: Draft your own pattern or modify an existing one to include the tall, wide collar. Use some sort of stiffener inside the collar to help it stand up. Thick interfacing or craft foam will do. Make the designs by painting them on with fabric paint or creating appliques. Get a dark-colored (black or navy) fitted t-shirt and cut a V-neck into it. Hem the V-neck for a nicer finish. Wear the shirt over a long-sleeved fishnet shirt when you wear your cosplay. Alternatively, you can purchase a full Itachi Uchiha cosplay set online. You can purchase a full Itachi Uchiha cosplay online, you can buying matching pants separately, or you can make your own. The pants need to be baggy from waist down to about mid-calf. After that, they should be fitted. They should be the same color as the V-neck t-shirt you modified. If you cannot find pants that are fitted below the calves, that's okay. Again, you can find these in an online cosplay supply shop, commission them, or make them yourself. If you choose to make them yourself, you will need to use the same material you used for your t-shirt and pants. Start with a sock shape, then cut the toes off. Hem the raw edges, then slide the shoe covers over a pair of black or navy flip flops. The flip flops will create the thickness of the sole as well as cushion your foot. If the shoe covers slip and slide on the convention floor too much, draw squiggles on the underside with a glue gun or silicone. This will give you some traction. Itachi wears a set of spat-like covers over his shoes. They come up to about his mid-calves and cover the bottom portion of his pants, causing them to puff out below the knees. You can buy these from a cosplay supply shop or make your own using white jersey material. You can also buy a pair of white socks and cut off the heels, as well as the entire front portion. Remember to hem the raw/cut edges of the spats. The front portion includes everything from the arch to the toes. You want a 1-inch (2.5-cm) thick strip under your arch. You will wear these over the flip flops and open-toed shoe covers. The headband (or forehead protector) is one of the most important parts of the cosplay, next to the Akatsuki robes. You need to find Itachi Uchia's particular type of headband. If you cannot find his headband online, you can buy Sasuke Uchia's headband instead, then draw a horizontal line across the front using a black marker. These are not mandatory to the cosplay, but they will make it more authentic and detailed. You will need to buy Itachi's red/scarlet Shu ring online from a cosplay supply shop. You can buy his necklace on there as well, or you can make it yourself by tying pieces of black cording to three silver washers. The washes need to be spaced a few inches apart.

Summary: Start your costume preparations early. Purchase or make an Akatsuki cloak. Modify a fitted t-shirt and a fishnet shirt to create the mesh shirt. Get some baggy, dark-colored pants. Buy or make the open-toe shoe covers. Buy or make the white open-toed/open-heeled socks. Obtain the headband. Consider getting the necklace and ring.

The rounded side should be downward, touching your finger. If it looks kind of like a bowl or a cup on your finger, you have it in the right orientation. If it looks like a dome, with the rounded side up, you have the contact lens flipped the wrong way. If you can't keep the lens even, try placing it on your palm instead. Seeing the lens at the correct angle is paramount. Viewing from different angles can play tricks on your eyes, especially because you need the contact lens to see correctly. Look at it directly from the side. When the contact lens is correctly oriented, it should have a fairly rounded appearance. It should resemble a wide letter "U". When it's inside out, however, it will resemble a "V" more than a "U". Look for flaring at the edges. The lower part of the lens may be deceiving, but the edges themselves will look stretched towards the sides if the lens is inside out. If the lens seems wider at the top, and the lines aren't straight, it's likely inside out.

Summary: Place the contact lens on your finger. Hold the lens at eye level. Look for the "U".

Record all the calories you eat every day, so that you can manage your intake. Be sure to take pre-cooked foods from home to your work or school so that you can keep having your regular meals. Foods you make yourself, not the junk you buy from the supermarket. This is not something you will do overnight. It requires you to change your lifestyle, your friends and your habits.
Summary: Start working out like a beast. Cut all the junk food, drinks and fat food from your diet. Make sure you have regular healthy meals every day and get lots of sleep. Continue working out and do not give up. Realize that building a rock hard body for a male fitness model is a long process.
