Day Twelve of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas “Nature.” Here is my very rough test of a #Minettecosplay from @strangelykatie’s wonderfully lovely graphic novel series, @teadragonsociety! 💖☕️🐉🌸🌿 {Yes, this is the other cosplay test I mentioned—& cryptically described with emojis … four months ago. ::facepalms:: Swipe on IG for a side-by-side of the panel I’m trying to recreate.} I’d love to wear Minette to a comic con sometime (she’d actually be my first cosplay from a comic book/graphic novel!) but I need to get her animal-like elements first … & an actual Chamomile plushie!). I’d highly recommend the series if you enjoy the following things: gentle fantasy, LGBTQIA+ & ability-diverse characters, tea, dragons, & soft illustrations. (Disclaimer: I’ve only read the first book so far, but I’m sure they’re all adorable! Book 3 was one of my Christmas presents, hurrah!) {wig is by @ardawigs & the same one I use for Fluttershy; blouse is 1980s vintage from my mum; Chamomile is being played by the #Dragonite plushie I bought at @syracusecomiccon} #Minette #TeaDragonSociety #TeaDragonSocietycosplay #graphicnovelcosplay #literarycosplay #KayONeill #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #ArdaWigs #cosplaytest #closetcosplay #cosplayplans #futurecosplayplans #TwelveDaysofCosmas #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CYKKaQPFQH6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Ten of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas is “Ghost.” This may look like an attempt at Edwardian Femme Aziraphale, but this is actually a very rough test of a #ChristineDaaécosplay from the #PhantomoftheOpera1990 miniseries (& by extrapolation, the #YestonandKopitPhantom)! 💖🎼🎭🌹🎻 Why did I use this for the the “Ghost” prompt? Because while miniseries/Y&K Erik never claims to be the Angel of Music there are still Opera Ghost shenanigans! (Yes, this is one of the cosplay tests I mentioned—& cryptically described with emojis … four months ago. ::facepalms:: The other cosplay will be posted for Day Twelve!) Please forgive the following things: the wig is too short & probably not a suitable colour (I actually don’t have too many wigs & this is my only blonde one—I do want to get another for this Christine, though!), I don’t have the correct era of corset so I’m wearing my 1860s reproduction from #AbrahamsLady (it’s the only corset I have that isn’t a brightly-coloured Ren Faire one—is it passably #historicallyadequate for late-Victorian/Edwardian?), my blouse is much fancier than what miniseries!Christine wears (maybe she or Cherik raided the costume storage??). {wig by @ardawigs; petticoat pattern by #TheAntiCraft; ‪boots by @timberland; blouse is 1980s vintage from my mum}‬ #ChristineDaaé #PhantomoftheOpera #PhantomoftheOperacosplay #PhantomoftheOperaminiseries #Phantommusical #musicaltheatrecosplay #ChristineDaae #ChristineDaaecosplay #TeamChristine #blondeChristine #musicalcosplay #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #ArdaWigs #cosplaytest #closetcosplay #cosplayplans #futurecosplayplans #TwelveDaysofCosmas #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CYHYLWnlFT5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Nine of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas is “Dancing”! I still need to look into how to post videos to IG (& practice twirling so I can make more of said videos—unfortunately, I don’t have much room to do so), but here’s a picture of me twirling in my #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay at @t2comiccon 2019! (It’s blurry because I don’t really know how to get proper stills from a video so I just took screencaps on my laptop? Halp?) 💖🦡🌿🏰✨ Everyone is welcome at Hogwarts. 💖 {Wand by Rook's Gambit at @parenfaire, wand holster by @broomhilde99, cross stitch pattern by #CuteCrossStitchShop on Etsy, ring belt by #MyFunkyCamelot on Etsy, bag loops by @wordsremember} #HelgaHufflepuff #HelgatheLoyal #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay #Hufflepuff #Hufflepuffcosplay #HogwartsFounders #HogwartsFounderscosplay #literarycosplay #historicalHogwarts #TwinTiersComicCon #T2C2 #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #cosplayembroidery #crossstitch #handmadewithJoann #ButterickPatterns #Broomhilde99 #WordsRemember #artofthedress #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CYGL12XM8j5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Seven of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas is “White.” @syracusecomiccon 2019 had a pretty doorway-ish structure perfect for taking pictures—here’s my #femmeAziraphalecosplay! 💖😇📚☕️ {Wig by @ardawigs, custom wings by @thepinkpoudo} @GoodOmensPrime @neilhimself #Aziraphale #Aziraphalecosplay #GoodOmens #GoodOmenscosplay #GoodOmensTV #GoodOmensPrime #literarycosplay #adventuresincosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #ArdaWigs #ThePinkPoudo #wings #cosplaywings #cosplaywigs #allthewings #angelwings #ButterickPatterns #BowsnTies #handmadewithJoAnn #NeilGaiman #TerryPratchett #softangels #SaltCityComicCon #TwelveDaysofCosmas #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CYBCaSVsRpj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Bonus for Day Five of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas (“Light”): more #holidayChristine! Daydreaming about her Maestro, perhaps? 💖🎼🎭🌹🎻🎄 (My go-to pose for #ChristineDaaécosplay pictures is most definitely “hold prop rose & look dreamy.” At some point I need to finally add the black ribbon—I bought it at the same time as the roses!) {Petticoat pattern by #TheAntiCraft; boots by @timberland} #ChristineDaaé #PhantomoftheOpera #PhantomoftheOperacosplay #PhantomoftheOperamusical #musicaltheatrecosplay #ChristineDaae #ChristineDaaecosplay #modernChristineDaaé #TeamChristine #PhantomoftheLivingRoom #musicalcosplay #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #closetcosplay #cosy #hygge #holidaycosplay #cottagecore #Christmascosplay #fairytailhair #longhair #verylonghair #TwelveDaysofCosmas #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CXxVrSejNGe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Five of @celerymoondesigns’ #12DaysofCosmas is “Light.” This seemed like the perfect prompt for a #ChristineDaaécosplay but I didn’t want to repost my dressing gown closet cosplay yet again, so here is #holidayChristine (a full row, even)! 💖🎼🎭🌹🎻🎄 This is a true closet cosplay as I would actually wear this outfit as myself—I feel rather guilty about even calling this a cosplay as the only thing that really makes it Christine instead of me is that my hair is down? {Also, I need to figure out layering (my house is very cold) so I can actually wear flowy skirts as loungewear instead of always wearing pyjama pants in the evenings. Maybe that should be one of my goals for 2022: trying to actually dress #cottagecore instead of just following many accounts & daydreaming over the aesthetic?} To make this vaguely more of a cosplay post, speculation time! Is this a gift Christine is giving someone or one she just received? Who is it to or from? {Petticoat pattern by #TheAntiCraft; boots by @timberland} #ChristineDaaé #PhantomoftheOpera #PhantomoftheOperacosplay #PhantomoftheOperamusical #musicaltheatrecosplay #ChristineDaae #ChristineDaaecosplay #modernChristineDaaé #TeamChristine #PhantomoftheLivingRoom #musicalcosplay #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #closetcosplay #cosy #hygge #holidaycosplay #fairytalehair #longhair #verylonghair #Christmascosplay #TwelveDaysofCosmas #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CXwxdo2Fvwd/?utm_medium=tumblr
