in which an inventory of the closet yields the evidence for a unique conclusion

[themeletor]

i don't know what possessed me to pull out the harley quinn suit tonight, but two ALMOST THREE (oh harley, you have been sadly neglected) years and a couple pants sizes later it still fits just as well -- maybe better -- through the magic of spandex.

which doesn't change the fact that i'm already at work on a poison ivy costume for halloween this year. (i have to start now because hand-sewing all those leaves is going to be a BITCH.)

also between my thigh-high boots and black leatheresque bolero, and seeing as i always have a pair of black fishnets to hand, i could probably whip up a black canary costume on short notice with the help of a good dancewear shop (one that stocks patent finish leos).

and i mean with the exception of halloween and maybe a con or two in my future (though i don't know that i'd ever go to That Sort of Con, since i get easily overpeopled at, like, wiscon), i have no idea where i'd wear any of this, but i'm going on the theory that it's good stuff to have around.


...
which is all to say that i? am apparently a dc comics hooker.

I unfortunately could never pull off the one character I'd cosplay from the DC universe. ;_; Actually, I refuse to cosplay at all until I lose weight, but that will take a while to get to what should be my normal weight.

(It's that damn tummy of mine.)

[themeletor]

dude, if you could legitimately pull off crane/scarecrow i would in fact be terrified for your wellbeing (as i would be for most people, because he is one skinny bitch). that said, "costume" and "lookalike" are two very different things, and i have seen some eerie 'crow cosplays with all sorts of body types.

(i hear ya. but also tummies are awesome and a human commonality! it's just that practically nothing these days is designed with actual common humans in mind, so they are made to look unseemly. garrumph.)

Well, uh, it's also kinda my chest. -cough-

Why do I always want to cosplay guys?

Though I could probably pull off movie!Crane better. :P I don't even have to change my hair much for it (meaning I don't have to dye it).

Also the weight thing is health related. I'm overweight and I really need to get into my natural, healthy weight range.

Why do I always want to cosplay guys?

uhhhh... because there are fascinating male characters (and, frustratingly, there are often more of them than fascinating female characters)? also just because you're that kind of fantastic :D

re: movie crane, that is AWESOME. grab a suitcoat, whip up a mask, and you're good to go! & then you can just gas anyone who gets in your way. mwahahah.

This all reminds me that I need to take a picture of me with my new hair cut. XD

[themeletor]

dooooo eeeeeeet~ (i actually don't know that i've ever seen your picture! in any case i am a big fan of haircuts.)

[birgitriddle]

I normally do not post pictures of myself since I kinda am camera shy, but I have been known to do it occasionally. I need to do a pic spam of stuff anyways too.

I ♥ you!

[themeletor]

i ♥ you too!!

*oggles your FAAAAAAAAAAACE* ♥

(Also, the best part of cons? You can actualfax just walk around cosplaying and PEOPLE GET REALLY EXCITED BY IT ANYWAY. Friday at con.txt was theoretically cosplaying day, and there were about 10 people or so actually doing it, but omphale got SO MUCH enthusiasm for her Band of Brothers uniform! THIS IS WHY I LOVE FANDOM BEST MEL - EVEN IF WE DON'T SHARE A FANDOM, WE ALL APPRECIATE THE ENTHUSIASM. :-D)

[themeletor]

:D :D :D i admit i am a little ridiculous.

(I KNOW RIGHT! man, that sounds so awesome. i bet con.txt was a huge blast! AND YES, YES!! FANDOM IS AMAAAAAAAAAZING!)
