WonderCon 2015

This weekend was a bit of a whirlwind weekend! Lots of friends and lots of fun. Only two real negative things. I forgot a bag at home that had all the super cute extras I had planned for my new Luigi dress. They still had to be attached to the dress so I put them in my sewing bag and was going to work on them the night before at my friends house. But the sewing bag was forgotten on the back of my sewing chair. AGH! I got a lot of sweet compliments on the dress though, and the hubby pointed out I will be able to wear it again at SDCC and it will be the full final version. But still... kicking myself for that one. The other bad thing was my feet. But is there really much surprise there?
We got there Friday. I knew we would be driving in so I went with an easy costume, my Medical Shield agent. Not a lot of pictures, just selfies, because that is my lazy costume.

We celebrated my birthday dinner that night. It was very low key but it was great having so many friends that I don't get to see very often having dinner and drinks with me.
Saturday I  wore my new costume. Fireball Luigi. It was interesting doing my make-up for it. I had to go with a darker color scheme then I normally do because of the darker wig. I also wore fake lower lashes. Pretty sure I won't try those again. They are kind of a pain in the but and don't show up that well in pictures. Not like the top which do make a big difference.

This maybe one of the most comfortable cosplays I have every made. I didn't feel uncomfortable all day. Not just a physical comfort either. I wasn't second guessing myself and imagining people laughing at me and my weight, which in other cosplays/costumes is a constant.
Sunday I wore an oldie but goodie, my Captain Amreica. It may make me feel fat but I get a lot of comments on it. I had a couple little girls come up and ask for a picture with me. I love when kids want a pic with me, so that made my day!

Hubby said I can't post this one on Social Media (facebook or Instagram) because its to much of a boobie shot. But its okay if I share here. :)

You look so cute in all of your costumes!

Thank you.
I haven't master the serious look. I end up looking constipated not serious. So I just smile. :)

How freaking adorable are you?! I love Luigi and can't wait to see the finished version :)

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I think the final version is going to be pretty awesome. Lots of 8-bit extras.

That's going to be so great...I can't wait to see! Also, I totally understand what you said above about not being able to pull off a serious look in photos. I'm blessed with "RBF" (resting bitch face) so if I don't smile I always look like I'm about ready to stab someone (my passport photo is a gem, let me tell you!), so I just smile. Not "period" or anything, but much more flattering!

You are the cutest thing ever!!! Love your cosplays!

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

You look both cute and beautiful! Well done!

(And the boobie shot is my favorite-- it's a great picture of you! Your husband has a very prudish sense of what is too boobalicious.)

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
He maybe a tad prudish. He is half joking when he tells me I can't share certain pics. Whenever it passes whatever line he has he will tell me "You know I don't share, right?" I know if I post it he won't be mad or say anything but I respect it. I want to be known for my cosplays but not if it means I'm famous for my boobs and ass. Besides, at my weight I don't have a chance compared to the size two cosplayers.
Plus when I hear "You know I don't share, right?" I know he thinks I look sexy. :)

Oh my goodness! You are so adorable in your Luigi costume! I love it!

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I really like how comfy I feel in it. I need more that I am physically and mentally comfortable in.

You are so adorable. Luigi in particular is darling! Those are some of the best Captain America photos I've seen yet, too. And I don't know if it's your natural coloring or really skilled makeup, but the hair and all look excellent and natural. Lashes on the bottoms lids? Yikes, and if they don't add (I can't really see them) definitely leave them off!

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I don't think its all make up skills, but I did use a darker palette then I normally do as a blonde. I am happy to know it looks natural.
Bottom lashes are evil. I am trying to up my make up game and bottom lashes seems to be one of those high make up game things. It took me 1.5 hours, many tears, and much frustration to get those things on. I didn't feel they looked natural in real life and they don't show up in pictures. I may have to try them again before I pass final judgement but as of right now, THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT!!!!

You are the cutest! Totally adorable as a blonde or brunette. Also, your lazy Shield costume makes you look like a total bad-ass!

Happy Belated Birthday!!!

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I think I need to incorporate the Shield agent's hair and makeup into my day to day look. :)

[hharris.livejournal.com]

You are so photogenic! Cute costumes and nice pictures!

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!!

You looked adorable in Luigi - I got a few cute ones of us together I'll post - and I think you look great as Cap. Don't feel self conscious - it's a super cute and flattering costume.

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I am excited to see them! I feel bad that I didn't get any of you two. I really should have. My husband is still commenting how spot on your boy is for the 10th Doctor.
I am so glad we got to hang out! Thank you for coming with us to dinner.

[kaesha-nikovana.livejournal.com]

OMG, those are so awesome! I especially love Luigi. How very cool!

[my-stitching.livejournal.com]

For the record, I think you are beautiful. So wear what you want!

[suededsilk.livejournal.com]

You look fabulous! As nuranar mentioned, great job on the makeup and your wig selection - it looks natural on you!
