Dressed as my “fashion-play” (like cosplay but less costume) version of Batman last night.
I have gotten over the feeling of people assuming I’m his lover, and having to correct them. But when someone calls me his girlfriend and he doesn’t disagree…that’s new.
Trying to see if I can’t skip out of work early and just come in tomorrow. I’m always more focused on Saturdays anyway for some reason. Today I just can’t seem to get out of this shitty head space, and I need to get out of here.
Presuming I can, I think I’ll go do some little shopping. I have a habit of dressing up for J&G (tell me again how I didn’t realize I had totally fallen for them?) whenever we have a dinner date planned. And I could use a little frivolity today as well.
Sometimes I read fanfiction and think, “Wow, you’re a serial killer/pedophile/rapist/etc.” Eeek.
Today just got a bit better. J&G invited me out tonight for drinks/dinner/and music courtesy of our mutual friend (the guy who did the music at their wedding….yeah that one). So, six of one half a dozen of the other, but it works for me.
This is my other big new cosplay build for this years Dragon*Con: an Impala dress!
So far I’ve sculpted the chest piece (the first pic), and then made a silicone mold and cast it into fiberglass (the second pic). I’m so excited, it didn’t get a single bubble in it, which has never happened before! Now I just have to sand, paint, and insert the headlights.
And, you know, build the entire rest of the dress….
Why do i almost always stand on the same side in photos?
So here are more photos from friday at C2E2, in which i was desperately trying to find SPN cosplayers.
I found them!! it took a while…
They were all super epic, and so was that TARDIS.
And when we had gone to drop some stuff off in the car, i ran into a vehicle with some very… familiar plates…
Cosplay Musings
I have seen so many awesome Impala* cosplays as of late that I can’t help but want to create one for myself. I have a couple of Dean-inspired outfits, but those are less for cosplay and more for my own use. Sometimes it’s easier to face a bad day when you’re dressed like a hunter. :)
So I’m still going to work on a Dean cosplay at some point, perhaps a genderbent one to boot. But I think an Impala cosplay would be awesome. I’ve always enjoyed the artwork of the human!Impala done by all sorts of different artists in all sorts of different ways. Not quite sure how I want to do my version yet, but I shall keep the blog updated as I go.
*For those not familiar with Supernatural, the Impala aka Dean’s “baby” is the iconic car they drive pretty much throughout the series. She’s awesome in every way.
I am not having a good day today. I apologize in advance for any potential moping that may occur. This has been a public service announcement by the Council of Kat for Better Days.
Me with one of the pups at the shelter. This was right before he licked my whole face. ;)
