Cosplay Questions

1) What was your first cosplay?

My first ever cosplay was Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket and it was at NYAF. I bought the costume online and wore knock of black and pink vans shoes and had the wrong hair (used my natural hair, I didn’t have bangs then) but it was super fun and was definitely a great experience.

5) What go you thing makes a good cosplay?

Well mainly if the person is having fun with it I think! I mean of course I always gawk at some of the amazing, high quality costumes I see and prefer them aesthetically, but I am extremely happy just to see people enjoying their cosplay no matter what!

bless my sister...

twin is working on her own cosplay for Tekkoshocon, which involves a shitton of detail work, and yet she is still finding the patience to answer my endless rounds of questions, because my diagrams/charts/ect. just don't always make sense or explain things well enough.  She has supplied me with fabric for mock-ups, even after I messed the first one up because of bad directions.

In short, twin deserves all the awards for making sure that my own cosplay doesn't look like shit while working on her own stuff.  all the awards and love for twinling!

So Katsucon was a lot of fun!  I was running around as Agatha Heterodyne all weekend, and wore the finished Blue Dress for a bit before going back to her green outfit (because it was to crowded and my skirt kept getting stepped on.)

The girl genius radio play was awesome and hilarious, and I actually got to help out.  For the record, I am TERRIBLE at doing sound effects, but it was fun all the same.  Phil and Kaja are amazing people, and I was very happy I got to meet them.

So, I made the skirt, and twin made the jacket.  This is a progress shot, as I do not have on the bustle/shirt/wig needed for the cosplay.  We made a few modifications to the jacket, mainly because when we pinned on the purple stripes as seen in the reference, we did not like the way it looked on me.  So we settled for purple trip on the hems instead. Twin says I look like a drunk easter egg.  I agree with this.  I also love the whole outfit very, very much, and cannot wait to wear it at Katsucon.

Dude! You're going to Ohayocon as Agatha?! I must meet up with you!! (So excited to see seine cosplay Girl Genius!)

I’m sure going to try!  Its not finished yet, I have to finish the vest, but yes, it is my goal this weekend!  I would love to meet up with you at some point during the weekend.  Its always fun to meet other fans!

My twin sister and my best friend are currently engaged in a gif war over whose shit I should reblog first. I'm dying of laughter, because their gifs thus far have been A+
