Hey guys. I could really use a bit of a confidence boost. Mine is kind of low. I am doing a new cosplay. Where most would not say it's overly risky. It's above my knees, and my lower half is the part of me that I hate the most. I am trying the fake it till I make it routine, so I booked a photo session with one of the professionals at SDCC.... But really intimidated right now. 😓

Your cosplays are always amazing! You put together excellent outfits head to toe, and you look good in them! Good for you for making something out of your comfort zone-- you're the only one who will feel uncomfortable-- the rest of us will be admiring you!

You are an utterly delightful human being, and your cosplays are excellent!

You make beautiful costumes and look beautiful wearing them!

I understand completely your feelings on this matter, there are a number of costumes I haven't done for that exact same reason!

However, I think you'll kill it, and I can't wait to see the photos. Kudos to you for stepping outside your comfort zone!

You can do it!

Wasn't Mario above your knees too? You looked charming and pretty in that costume and I'm sure you will in this one too.

When I'm feeling that sort of doubt I self talk - think what you'd say to a dear friend in the same boat and say it to yourself, you can do it! <3

You are fabulous and gorgeous! I bet that you look like a million bucks in your new cosplay!

That is all :)

Thanks! I think it is because it's out of my comfort zone that is freaking me out so much. I will try to keep your words in mind when I'm at the photoshoot.

Thank you!

[llyrafantasyfae.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Believe me there are tons!!!! Of cosplays I've stayed away from because of the skin they show. Thank you for your kind words! I will try to keep them in mind at the photo shoot!

Lol, thanks!

Thanks!

No actually... It was a big point of debate between my Mario and me. She wanted shorter skirts and I wouldn't budge. My skirt is almost mid calf. 😜
This one is more mid thigh.
Thanks for the advice! I will try it tomorrow during the photo shoot.

Also, We have an enormous waterpark near us (Wings and Waves!) and it is very expensive to get in, so we never go. But, My brother decided to hold his birthday party there-- DAMMMIT-- so I decided I was just going to wear my bathing suit, but I was just going to hang out somewhere hidden and not really play. Because I'm fat. Because I'm old. Because I looks awful in my bathing suit. Well, once we got there it looked like so much fun! I decided right then and there to just say FUCK IT and go have a good time. I was totally liberated. I went down all the chutes and slides and didn't care who was checking out my cellulite. I actually did not care that all my flab was hanging out, I was having an awesome time. That felt so good. I always remember that day when I'm feeling self conscious, and I remember how damn good it felt to be free of all those inhibitions weighing me down and just have the time of my life.

And you know what? No one gave a damn about me and my flab. Everyone was too busy having a great time. I think we are our own worst enemies when it come to body image. Learning that I DON'T CARE what people are thinking was the best thing that ever happened to me.

You always look polished and beautiful in costume and that's to be envied. We always think we look worse than we do, I know that one evening I spent crying in the loo at my hideousness when I should ahve got more photos cos I looked plenty good enough in retrospect.

Enjoy it, fingers crossed that the pro photographer has suggestions on flattering poses. Even supermodels want that!

You're amazing and I have utter faith in you! And I think that faking it until you make it is seriously the best idea ever.

[missmalexander.livejournal.com]

You are amazing and beautiful! You are going to shine so much that no one will even think of the flaws you see in yourself. -hug-
