that is amazing cosplay, especially the mario and dr. facilier ones.
I’m just thrilled to see a fat woman of color in cosplay who’s treated with respect!
And what great outfits! Dr. Facilier is awesome.
I’m smiling SO big rn
So one time my cosplay line-up post got over 1000 notes O.o
Awesome costumes brichibi do you make them?

My amazing wifey makes them, everyone go and love her <3 <3 <3

So according to Gail Simone it’s Cosplay Appreciation Day! So here are some of my pics from this year. It’s been quite the year and we’ve gone to more cons than ever with our art, our books, and our costumes. It’s also been quite the year in spreading the message that cosplay is for everyone, and it’ll continue on into next year and years to come <3

Special thanks to my wifey (the Belle with the design on the front of the dress and pretty much the girl in every pic with me except for the group shot of Disney characters) for making these costumes and always being a supportive voice. Also thanks to all of the cool people I’ve met at all of these conventions and online through my cosplay page, I hope we all have just as much fun, or even more fun, next year. Thanks for all of the support in what I do, it means a lot to me :)

Also thanks to ilessthan3photography, Nude Carbon Studios, DWB Photography, Stray Things Photography and Cerulean Photography for the professional photos throughout the year :) And thanks to artists like asieybarbie and Timothy Lim for letting us use their work for our cosplay (asieybarbie for Neo Queen Serenity and Timothy Lim for the Five Nights at Freddy’s pizza box).

Also cosplay credits to the following people in the pictures above:

Queen of Hearts is Sweets4aSweet Cosplay

Belle (in the pic with the Queen of Hearts) is Pretty Lush Cosplay

My cosplay page is here and, as always, remember that to love your cosplay is to love yourself <3

[Image Description: In the picture is a black woman wearing an original design she made based off of the character, Wonder Woman. The costume was made by her partner. The top is red with the Wonder Woman logo on it while the skirt is blue with stars on it.]
brichibi:
MY ORIGINAL DESIGN WONDER WOMAN IS DONE! Designed by me and created by my wifey. And somehow I got a little red dress out of it, too. The entire costume (wig and all) will premiere on 4th of July at CONvergence, I am so excited!
The only thing missing is the yellow piece but I really like this better. Man the wifey knows best <3
Edit: My cosplay page is here. I’ll have more pictures there <3 Also, here’s a blog post on how the dress was made courtesy of my wifey :)

That moment when a page you watch reblogs your work so you scroll through Tumblr and suddenly see yourself. Also 7000+ notes what the holy bananas?!

Whoa snap got my first bash on a cosplay on my own page instead of from some random place on the internet, damn, I must be makin’ it.#StartedFromTheBottomNowWereHere

Seriously though, I always find it bizarre when people feel the need to tell you what you are. “You’re obese.” No way, really? I had no idea I was extra large, thanks for the reminder? Though in all honesty if you’re here to tell me I’m fat and you’re following me just to do so then I’m sorry that you don’t have anything else to do during the day then to tell fat people that they’re fat. I mean next you’ll tell me I’m black *gasp*

I guess it was a bit clever with the whole “eating yourself to death” bit, but I’m wondering if people just get their insults from a book that was written before cosplay even existed, because stuff like that has been said about cute chubby folks for ages. I’ve been called my fair share of names before I bestowed my large body with a hoop skirt and dress so reminding me of my juicy bits isn’t news to me, or to anyone on this page who follows me, but again if you feel the urge to shout FAT then just keep preaching to the choir around you, I’ll just keep wearing whatever I want and having a good time.

Brichibi out. *mic drops from chubby hands*

So remember that cosplay contest I entered on this cosplay page? Well, I won! Tiana got first place! I got my prizes and am super excited. I got:

1. A $50 gift card from Amazon

2. A sample sheet of worbla

The adorable card was a nice little bonus, but yeah, I won a cosplay contest how cool is that?!

So I don’t do this too often but I decided to give it a shot :) My Tiana cosplay is in a cosplay contest! I’m actually overjoyed with the amount of likes it already has, I wasn’t expecting that at all. So, if you like my cosplay, you can click this link here to get to my entry and give it a like ^__^ Also, be sure to check out the other entries because there are some really great ones, and definitely check out the woman running the contest because she’s great!

Thanks everyone!

I am super excited for the new Sailor Moon, so I wanted to share some pictures I don’t think I’ve shared yet. When I decided to do asieybarbie’s version of Neo Queen Serenity, I had to add buns to the wig I got. So here’s how that whole thing happened ^__^

1. Got some blonde hair pieces from Sally’s Beauty Supply (blonde/light blonde works best since the color is going to be changed)

2. Got two sharpies that matched to the color of the wig then started to color to make sure it stuck to the hair. It did ^__^.

3. Colored the heck out of the hair with the sharpie.

4. Once a bit of the hair was colored I made sure it matched the wig after it was dry.

5. When done (and the hair was dry), my partner and I pinned it to the wig to see what it would look like.

6. Once we were pleased with it, we took a round hair bun (the ones you use to create a bun with your hair) and put the newly color hair around it to make a solid bun. The wifey then sewed the hair to the bun so that it would stay. After that, she hot glued some comb pieces so it could be put into the wig.

7. Ta da :)

Extra note: Your fingers will get messy, but don’t worry, you can get it off your hands pretty easily with just soap and water. Also, I recommend coloring by sections, and when you’re done go back in to check parts you missed. Be sure to flip the hair piece over to get the back side of the hair, and check the inner top parts too. I actually ended up only needing one sharpie, but get two just to be safe because I worked that one sharpie to death.
