A Cosplay Diary: Idea

28 May

Meet Madame Masque. She’s all burnt up under that mask and emotionally charbroiled in the inside, but she sure does looks cool in that outfit carrying those badass guns.

Here’s a full figure type pic:I got my buddy Kerry from H.S. to help me make this ensemble due to my shatty  (no not shitty, shAtty) sewing skills. Kerry is a costume designer for theatres in the NYC area. I got me some connections. 🙂

Anyway. We’ll meet sometime next week to figure out a plan of execution then go from there.

In the meantime I got some wicked awesome boots to start the look of the costume, to set the mood kinda. What do you think?:

Suck it all you bought in Ricky’s Wonder Woman costume cosplay wannabes! Now… where can a girl buy a big cool fake gun and some gold spray paint?

I’ll keep you guys updated on the progression of this monster.

Safe as houses.

Apparently that term does not work for hotels. I was staying in a hotel during a trip to San Diego during the 2008 San Diego Comic Con. I was poorish and this hotel was way cheap so I booked it online. Little did I know there was a gang of truckers and scary bike dudes having a “one year ago we killed a young woman here and we need to do it again” meeting next door. So I took precautions and took every item not bolted to the floor shoved it in front of the door every night and slept with a butter knife under my pillow. I was ready to take them all down. Luckily they sensed my strength and left me be.

(See evidence below)

It was a lovely stay at the local Break n' Entering Inn.

Hmmm....sure this should help, right?

After 1 night of having to stay awake in bed (fully dressed with a knife in my hand), I decided that some more protection was necessary.
