#tbt #throwbackthursday To The coolest moment for me when I was honored to attend @newyorkcomiccon for the first time last month was when I was able to wear this #costume. What I haven’t really said to folks about my back injury is that sometimes my back and sides to swell up into spasm if I walk for long periods (like the hours on your feet from walking a con) and it will literally swell to the point of expanding my waist if I am not supported by a corset, so... wearing my #lyndacartercosplay can sometimes be done for a couple to a few hours depending on what I did already that day as it does not have a supported corset. (Give me corset and I will even do battle scenes) . So here I was walking around the #javitzcenter in this, my favorite of my #cosplay , and had attendees light up 😃 and come and tell me that they were convinced that @reallyndacarter was attending #nycc #nycc2017 😁💓💓💓 when they saw me...they had me smiling so big! I know appearances don’t last #forever and some day I will just go back to being little ole me...but for right now thank you all so much for letting me excite, inspire, and maybe even help #changeyourlife in any way. Honestly, I have no greater purpose than to try to help create a #footprint 👣 for a greater and better #tomorrow , as our #freedoms are being compromised at every turn, if I can help people hold out #hope that we can all make a difference...together... then my life and mere existence has meaning . Otherwise, and to be quite honest I wouldn’t be here...I wouldn’t allow myself the #vanity of #dressingup or looking #pretty #oncamera if it wasn’t to try and be an agent of hope and #justice . A medium for all that are good and kind to be heard and can make a difference. The day I feel I don’t serve this purpose is the day I I will #hangup my #cape and say “bye, bye” to the cameras or any public attention. I do not do this for me but for the #kids #4thekids of today and tomorrow. . All of this to say #thankyou to all of you... to @officialherohair for my amazing wig that not only custom made for my head but you also help me maintain #4life .. and to @thevaldman 4 helping me capture the spirit of #myhero #lyndacarter (at New York Comic Con)
