Picture one:  Hmmmm, so I’m supposed to kiss the frog and it will turn into a prince, right?

Picture two:  AH WTF IS THIS?!  THIS ISN’T A PRINCE!

Teddie:  Sure it is, I’m Teddie, and I’m beary excited to be your sweet prince charming.  Now, as your prince, I believe I am allowed to score with you?

Tiana:  *rage face*

Just some silly pictures from Geek.Kon that we took while sitting at our table.  There will be more kissing mishaps posted throughout the weekend  ^^

Also, check out my cosplay page here:  Brichibi Cosplays

Someone suggested that I take a stab at Merida.  I hadn’t considered it before, but then I saw that she had a Jim Shore style outfit.  I’ve done this before (as seen in the picture ^^) My partner made me a ridiculously gorgeous Belle dress based on a Jim Shore statue we have, and now I can do it for Merida.  Originally I was thinking of doing Tiana, but it would be fun doing a completely new cosplay.  

That and we, randomly, have a Merida wig in our wig collection in the basement  O.o  I tried it on and it doesn’t look super stupid like I thought it would, sweet!

You know what, ladies?  Sometimes, the princess just has to save herself.

More shots of the Beauty and the Beast Jim Shore cosplay I made for myself and my wifey!  The library shots are at Anime Iowa, while the kiss is from Anime Central in the Disney group. 

Oddly enough, these are the first dresses where I experimented with making the outfits out of quilter’s cotton so that I could get the patterns to match the Jim Shore statues.  Belle’s dress is a combination of different dress patterns I had (I think about 3) while Beast’s outfit is an altered Uncle Sam costume, lol.

I can’t make clothing patterns myself, so instead I Frankenstein different patterns together to get all the pieces I want, then tailor it to each of our bodies.

Any questions about the cosplay? What do you guys think?

The Belle dress  :)

Any tutorials you guys want?  I’ve already had a request to make one for ‘up sizing’ a pattern and I have one written out for mini plushies. 

Is there anything else you guys would be interested in?

Hey everyone.  My partner/costume maker/wifey/beautiful person is going to start writing tutorials.  I will be sure to reblog whatever she writes up (and I’m happy she’s writing one for up sizing a pattern, because honestly no pattern is made for me so she has to get clever with it).  Are there any other plus sized tutorials you’d like to see?

All right, I have a cosplay page now  :)  I thought about it and decided it would be a good idea, since I’m cosplaying more often now and I want to give my partner some exposure (she makes aaaaaall of my costumes, so if you’re looking for a plus sized friendly costume maker, she’s a good person to go to).  

Anyhow, it’s definitely a race, gender, sexuality, size friendly page.  And uh, yeah, you can see my costumes and stuff  ^^;;;

SUBMISSION

I love to see a larger, Black woman cosplaying anything.  It’s like we don’t exist in the world of make believe.  I was doubly thrilled to see that she had her own sexy, high heel-wearing Beast, too! 

Reblogging for the comment above.  I’m a plus sized black cosplayer who comes equipped with her own sexy Beast  ^^  A sexy Beast who knows how to sew!

snowtigra:

Ummm… hey everyone who stumbled over to my tumblr from my wifey’s page

Since a lot of you seem to like the Belle dress I’ve made for her, I thought I’d share a close up of the handpainted panel from the front of the dress.  This is what it looked like before I sewed it in. 

So yeah, my tumblr is going to be full of progress pictures and crafty things and all of that.  Feel free to poke me for sewing stuff.  I’m not an expert but if I don’t know it, I’ll find out someone who does and point you in the right direction… or something… ^_^;;;;;  

(I didn’t expect this to get so popular!, still adjusting!)

This is my wifey/costume maker’s tumblr  :)  This is a picture of the Belle dress front panel before she sewed it.  She actually printed out this huge picture, taped it all together, traced around it and then drew the rest and painted it.  So this is hand done.  I’m super lucky she’s so patient with the cosplay I want   :)  She’s getting into doing commissions more, which is great!  We need more plus size positive costume makers  :)

And randomly, hello new followers, somehow I’ve over 400 in the span of about three days  O.o  Hi!

I wonder how many “GREAT MOTHER!“ points you get for this?

The noises I made just now are not human.  How precious is this?!  Oh god the little girl has beads in her hair like I USE TO WEAR MY HAIR LIKE THAT AS A KID  ;__;  And the mom is plus sized and gorgeous and has this look like, "Hey little mama you can rock this costume too it doesn’t matter if you’re black or plus sized or anything like that.  You can rock it, and I’ll rock it with you.”  

So many happy things in my heart right now  ;__;
