My AlterEgo

Kiwi gal... Cosplayer, gamer, and part-time psych student. As well as things I find and like, I will be posting my own cosplay WIP as they take shape...

Saying “Fuck it” actually motivates me more than “You can do this”.

[addigni]

Because saying “fuck it” includes the total acceptance of failure as the outcome, meanwhile “you can do this” focuses only on the hopes of a successful outcome and the lack of acknowledgement of the equally probable failure outcome induces a certain level of unspoken anxiety

Embroidery continues! Such a long process, but I am loving how it's all coming together... #craftingtogether with @spotlightstores #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayernz #disney #disneyvillain

Major set backs - the reason I start costumes MONTHS in advance... These are the first 2 failed attempts of this prop build, starting the third as we speak... #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayer #disney #disneycosplay #disneyvillain (at Wellington Region)

First of many beautiful photos by the amazing @anna_terwiel_photography . All the shots of @disney_darling_cosplay and I turned out brilliantly, and we are so thrilled with them! Character: Evil Queen (Snow White) Cosplay made and worn by me. Debut: October 2017 #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaying #cosplayersofinstagram #Disney #disneycosplay #snowwhite #evilqueen #eviliscoming #originalevil #photoshoot #Armageddon (at Cornwall Park)

Eagerly waiting for Evil Queen pics, but have already begun in next cosplay... Trying my hand at something patchy for a group next year I'm so excited for... Photo doesn't do the colours justice. #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayer #disneycosplay (at Masterton, New Zealand)

2 days down, 1 to go... I have so much gratitude for this amazing lady! I'm so excited for tomorrow, and the future! @disney_darling_cosplay - You are amazing! #cosplay #cosplayer #Disney #disneycosplay #pirate #mermaid #teamDisneyvault #snowwhite #evilqueen

Survived my first day of Geddon... Even found some suitable swag! Bit of a headless chicken kinda day, but glad to have seen those I managed to find <3 #armageddonexpo #cosplay #cosplayer #pirate #piratesofthecaribbean

Con crunch is upon us. No rotary tool, so getting creative with hand sanding worbla. To get into fine groves, wrapped small pieces of sand paper around wooden clay tools. Perfect! #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayer #evilqueen #snowwhite #eviliscoming #originalevil #worbla #worblatip #crown

Just a few bracelets for costume, wouldn't want to go overboard ;P #punintended #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayer #piratesofthecaribbean #pirate

Not the most appealing start to a day, but cosplay construction continues! What else to do when on a train for 1 1/2 hours? Hand stitching!! On my way to catch up with great friends for first time since I moved down here, makes it all totally worth it! #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayer #corset #mastertontowellington #friends

[velliselle]

'Tis a wonderful day for corsets :D Midst of packing house, testing out another corset, and taking pictures for competition entry... Busy busy cosplayer! #cosplayer #cosplay #cosplaywip #evilqueen #movingcities

[velliselle]

Watches every stitch. Then will try pulling dress towards himself for closer inspection. "Sew" helpful baby... #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplaykitty

Still trying to crack that 100 follower mark... I've got a little competition in mind, so stay tuned. Like, share and follow me wherever possible. I'm most active on Instagram and Facebook, but also starting to build YouTube channel too for the videos. The larger the following, the easier it will be for me to make me content at events. Thank you! #cosplayer #cosplayersofinstagram #follow #follow4follow #competitionprep (at Hamilton, New Zealand)

Wonderful day in Auckland today! Tangled in theatre in the morning, with cosplay shopping and crafting in the afternoon. Got first piece of 2018 costume! Those beautiful boots are a steal! #Disney #disneybounding #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplaycrew
