Cosplaying and Con going
Is loads of fun, but this past labor day weekend has proved to be a moment of questioning for me.
I went to Anime Fest in Dallas labor day weekend. It was fun, went with Ex-Shadow and his friends to include his g/f. But they are huge Yugioh fans.... I am not. So all they really talked about was Yugioh and Yugioh abridged. (Well it seemed to be all they talked about. Its all they cosplayed.) But the other part of that was they usually just go off and do their own thing, it didnt matter if they were in a group or by them self. So often I was left on my own to do what ever. Alone.
Going to a Con where your group of friends dont stick together was a new thing for me. Usually when there is a group of us we like to stay together and have fun at the con. Yes sometimes a few of us like to break off into littler groups but we are still with one or more people. Now being at a con by myself was BORING. There was no one to talk to, to laugh at the crazy people running around, to fan girl over the awesome cosplayers and voice actors.
It just made the whole Con experience a bad one for me. I had no cosplay buddy, I had no one to talk to. O.O I didnt like it!!
This also brought up another thought. I saw a picture of myself as Sakura in her time jump outfit. OMG I LOOK FAT.... I mean really fat. The shirt the whole thing was not flattering at all. I dont think I want to wear it again..... ever. *sigh*
Now I really want to lose weight more than I did before.... I want to look good in cosplay. I want people to turn their heads saying 'Wow she looks awesome in that costume.' Not 'oh another fat cosplayer who thinks they are amazing.' Because I dont think Im amazing, heck I have a lot to do till I am amazing. So I have decided.
Come Otakon... I am doing one maybe two cosplays. Sakura!Punk, and The Little Mermaid. I am hoping by then I have lost some weight, and I will make the outfits look good. I might pull out my Rinoa Cosplay, I dont look to bad in that one.
*Blah* Anyway I just wanted to get that out there. I know people are gunna say... oh your not fat or your a good cosplayer. I dun wanna hear it.
