You can cosplay whoever you want, anon  :)  I know nothing about tanning and spray tan and things so I can’t give good advice on it, I would just say don’t go too far with it.  I remember seeing someone trying to do a black character and it ended up looking more orange than anything, and it was coming off on her costume :(  

Just remember that there’s a difference between tanning and like… this and this and on the flip side this.  And just in case, here’s an awesome video on the topic.

So in case you missed it (though it’s been on my blog all day) I got some pretty racist/fat bashing remarks about my Princess Peach cosplay, ranging from calling me a whale, to Precious, to using the frying pan to fry chicken, and all sorts of things.  It’s been blowing up quite a bit since a bunch of you are apparently amazing individuals who I want to snuggle, because you’ve been reblogging and commenting and all sorts of things.

So in honor of this I made fried chicken, you know, since that’s all us fat black gals eat.

Here’s all sorts of links:  

The post with the fried chicken comment and other un-creative cracks at me.

My actual heartfelt response to provide encouragement to people who are afraid of this happening to them.

I would post everyone’s responses but there have seriously been an overwhelming amount, so thank you all  :)

Edit:  Added some cosplay pictures so you can see the costume and such  :)

Edit Number Two:  My Cosplay Page, I can’t believe I forgot to link it!

This seems to be making rounds again, which is great!  Here are some really awesome updates:

1.  Here is the xoJane article I got to write about it.

2.  This magazine will have the full story in it.

3.  More amazing people are speaking up about cosplaying who you want.

Oh yes~! I plan on doing Mercury, Helios, and Luna at some point in time. It would be lovely to do pictures together!! I’m not sure what your main conventions are, but I’m sure we could link up. <3

Usually Midwest, but also going to San Japan in Texas in July  :)  We’re trying to go all over the place this year, to be honest, for small business/published book purposes.  

I am excited for all three of your cosplay ideas.  I’ve been wanting to do human Luna for forever, but then I got distracted by Neo Queen Serenity  :)

Hi, there.
I’m wearing a shirt that reads “Kill Me”.
If you saw me at a party or on the street would you promptly murder me?
What about if I had a few drinks? What if I was walking alone at night?
I’m guessing that you wouldn’t if you’re a sane individual.

The cops wouldn’t overlook your crime because of what I’m wearing because that’s silly. I wasn’t literally asking for you to kill me based on my choice of clothing. Who would take that defense seriously?

My friends wouldn’t blame me for being murdered and my killer would be behind bars almost instantly.

So, why is it okay to rape someone because they’re wearing revealing clothes? Why does THEIR choice of clothing excuse THEIR attacker?

It doesn’t. You’re silly if you think otherwise.
The less guilt on the attacker. The more guilt on victim.

Stop. Victim. Blaming.

Reblogging this again because it’s perfect.

This is just so perfect.

*slow clap*
