Lothlorien Cosplay

I don’t know what it is about this particular pro-shot but it fully pulls me in for a completely immersive feeling that heightens all of the emotions. It’s shot so well but it’s edited phenomenally

The Hamilton one feels like I’m just watching a recording of a performance that someone else was the audience for. And there were so many times during Hamilton that I wished they had the camera on a specific character to get their reaction or a wider shot to see how everyone was acting. Still wonderful and I’m glad it exists.

But Hadestown made me feel like they were performing to me directly as if I were part of the story.

Here’s a little video of me dancing my recently finished Mon Mothma cosplay

We are the Senate.

Couple of points

1. I was presenting the panel

2. This is Thor if you’re unfamiliar with the character

Anastasia as a DND style wizard!

This cosplay is a wild one. At the end of 2019 early 2020 I was working full steam ahead on a “witch” Anastasia cosplay for a big group with my friends

Then Covid came and she unfortunately became an abandoned cosplay. My friends even went on to do the Princess Witches group but I had no motivation to do it (much to my own disappointment)

5 years later that same group was doing a “Princesses but make it DND” group and I had the epiphany that I could utilize those original witch Anastasia pieces to make her a DND Wizard

Adding another layer to the journey, I used the original Anastasia dress that I made almost a decade ago as the base to give it one last ride in my cosplay life. It was so poorly constructed because it was literally one of my first cosplays but I was having a hard time letting it go

This was such a fun concept to play with and getting to use pieces I worked very hard on for something new was very satisfying

I just got some photos back and I’m so happy with it!!

Got to fuss with it a bit more but I think this will for “early season 4” Samantha Carter hair

I wish she could have a cameo in the MCU movieverse. What’s the point of all the alternate realities if we can legitimize one of the OG Marvel tv shows

Pushing through to finish this dress

The back has been particularly trying because of how difficult it is to try and make minor fit adjustments on myself

It’s a process to get this dress on and off in its current state so it’s taken me most of today to get the back to this point

A little video of me letting loose some freshly pleated fabric!

Friends, I haven’t con crunched this bad in a LONG time

Typically I’d just stop crunching and wear something else but I’m pushing myself for this con because everything I’m working on are things I’ve been planning and wanting to wear for a while, some I’ve been plotting out for over a year

It’s just my own procrastination issues that have stalled me for the last several months

I have to finish Mon here which is no easy task because EVERYTHING about this dress is a pain in my ass and the things I have left involve hand pleating MUCH fabric, including the organza overlay I’m saving for last

I have a whole costume yet to START.

And 2 others I need to finish
