Hello everyone-Angela checking in. I have been enjoying this forum for a long time-I finally signed up earlier this year, and am finally posting. I love looking at all of the great work on here. I have done some cosplay, but only very simple costumes. I am still able to get tips from this site even if my level of accomplishment is way below what I have seen here. My husband is the one with artistic talent-I am the idea person. I love to tease him when I see a cool character on television, I yell out "Cosplay!" to see his reaction. So far I have done Leela from Futurama, Daring Do from MLP, Chuck Bartowski, Penny from Dr. Horrible, Ramona Flowers (from the graphic novel), a minion from Despicable Me, and Fluttershy-also from MLP. I told you-all very simple!
I love going to cons. We went to Comicpalooza last weekend, will be going to San Diego in July, and Dragon Con in August. I try to attend the small cons in my area too-Texas Comic Con, etc. I don't cosplay at every con-at my age (late 40s) comfort is getting to be more and more important! LOL. It is fun to play around with, and I love seeing the great things that others create.
