Springtime Means Con Time!
Mar. 8th, 2011 11:20 amWhoot! Just finished up spending the morning converting crazy ass fantasy costume designs into steampunk! And I'm super happy with how well they look on paper. The only thing I haven't bothered to work out a design for is my staff, but that shouldn't be too hard. It's going to have gears. I love staffs, so much.
And I should be able to begin work later today!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
husband_brother is bringing me a bunch of leather-looking fabric, a pipe for my staff base, and an old authentic leather aviator cap. Which should work perfectly with mine, and better than just goggles on top of my head. My gal is an airship captain after all. :D And I should be able to get a lot of work done this weekend while housesitting. The puppies are pretty easy to look after, and the ferret only comes out at certain times so I'll have plenty of free time. Alone. I can just sit and work - I'm doing all the accessories! And there are a lot of accessories. At least all I have to do for my Dante costume is the little headpiece.
We are trying to figure out another relatively simple, wander around con comfortably cosplay, but we haven't really settled on anything that would a) be easy to do in between our steampunk stuff and our ballgowns, and b) would be recognizable as cosplay. We were considering doing NANA, but so much of it is just clothes and not really obviously a costume. We don't want to do Ed and Al again since no one recognized us or we had to keep explaining the first anime series and movie to people who had no clue. I kind of want to see about tossing together a Maria (Silent Hill) outfit, but it would require a wig and I sort of didn't want to buy a new one. Plus, I don't know if I convincehusband_brother to be James for me. We'll see. Because those would be simple and comfortable and recognizable as cosplay. Plus, I still have SH props. I think I will brooch this idea at lunch.
( And Now House Stuff - With Spoilers )
But I did adore the homage to Joel Gray in Cabaret. That was beautiful.
