Cosplay: She-Ra project underway

Jan 02, 2011 23:22

HAPPY NEW YEAR, I AM INSANE. Not that this will be news to all of you fine people. :)

My goal for January is to complete a cosplay of She-Ra for a group shoot that Claudia Harris wants to do for her website. I started yesterday crafting the armor out of wonderflex, a heatable moldable plastic substance that I have re-named play-dough for grown-ups ( Read more... )

If I make it there, I'll be at DragonCon on Labor Day weekend. Our schedule usually consists of running around 24/7 and eating dinner at 3 am, but hey, we can meet up if you're game! :D

Yep. You're mad in the skills department. Can't wait to see this project unfold.

Thank you! It's been fun so far, and the best part is for the dress I really only have to make a toga, lol. Tooooooooooo-GAH! Tooooooooooo-GAH!

I can't wait to see this!!! She-Ra is so unappreciated as a source of female empowerment. Not that I like to get into the gender wars but showing little girls they can kick evil ass can't be all bad right? ;D

I totally agree. There are several really awesome tough chicks in cartoons and anime that I admire, but She-Ra was one of the first.

I considered cosplaying her for Dragon Con last year on one of the days, but Snapdragon ate my life and I didn't have time. I hope to have her ready at the end of this month for the shoot, and then maybe take her to Megacon in Orlando in March.

Well I hope the armor building goes well and I think the fabric part will be a breeze after Snapdragon. Good luck!!! ♥
