Let’s create a couple of scenarios.
Let’s say I decided to cosplay Catwoman. Someone might tell me, “You’re too fat to cosplay her” or “fat cat.”
All right, fine. Let’s say one of the women I follow, who is skinny, says they want to cosplay Catwoman. Except their black. Someone might tell them, “Catwoman isn’t black” or “Check it out, ghetto Catwoman.”
All right. Fine. Let’s say that another woman I follow, who is skinny, and white, says that they want to cosplay Catwoman. Someone might tell them, “That cosplay is too slutty” or “attention whore.”
This right here is why there’s no point in stressing about such negative comments. Same character in each scenario, only different levels of negativity. This is why, my number one advice, is to smile and cosplay who you want
So here’s a smile from me to you
***
Bonus scenario: So then you may start to envy the male cosplayers of the world, thinking that they must have it so easy. Then you see a picture of a male cosplayer with a caption like, “He tried, I guess?” Or even see statements like, “Male cosplay is so boring” “Superman really let himself go, huh?” “What’s up with this Wolverine?"
So, everyone? Smile, on the count of three: 1. 2. 3!

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.

Took some new pictures of my Super Smash Brothers BRAWL Peach cosplay :) I’m hoping she has an even snazzier dress in the new Smash Brothers. She’s really fun to cosplay, especially with the frying pan ^^;;;
As always, you can follow my cosplay adventures either on my tumblr or my Facebook page. Peachy ^^
Reblogging because I cannot believe how many likes this cosplay still gets what?!

So apparently it’s Tiana appreciation week?! I’m going to be at Anime Central this weekend so I wanted to post pictures now :) Here’s my Tiana cosplay. Let’s go in order!
1. I wake up in the morning and question my life decisions because it’s way too early.
2. After a shower I feel slightly more awake and start doing make up. Foundation activate!
3. Eyes are done and hair is in a bun.
4. Hoooooooooooop skirt!
5. In the car like, “What up, I made it in with this giant skirt, yeah!”
6. Transformation complete <3 (taken at Minneapolis Comic Con/Wizard World which is the last con I wore Tiana at, but she’ll be back at Anime Central this weekend!)

Someone always finds something to poke at, you know? It’s not even worth worrying about because someone is going to find something wrong if they really want to. You can’t win with everyone, which is why it’s best to just win with yourself. You can look quote, unquote, “perfect” on the outside but still feel like shit if you’re not happy with yourself and who you are.
Happy is attractive. Happy is beautiful. Happy is as close to perfect as we’ll ever get.
