This year I had so many ideas on what I wanted to do and just couldn't make my mind up. I mean come on if I could be all of my favourite characters at once I would totally do that would you?
Obviously it would have some serious downsides. After doing that what possibly could you Cosplay after that, also the chances of people knowing all of the characters you picked and not making it look tacky would be a mean feet.
But the one thing I love more than anything about the Cosplay world is that you can take your favourite characters and put your own take on them. Every year you see someone as a character you love but you see them in a completely different light to what you have been looking at in comics, on TV or Videogames over the years.
Taking this into consideration I decided that this year I was to make a Poison Ivy costume. Been a plus sized Cosplayer I always thought that I would never get away with Cosplaying her. I have never been comfortable in my own skin, and always feel like I'm been judged. With that in mind I have come to terms with everyone everyday is been judged by strangers and who cares. I am me and if I want to dress as Poison Ivy I bloody well will. I will make her my own.
I wanted to make it recognisable as Poison Ivy but also make it so I am comfortable wearing it in a room full of hundreds of people. As I am still new to this, I am still anxious about people but I am sure that will go with time. Poison Ivy doesn't care what people think of her so if I am to Cosplay her I shouldn't either right?
So for now that is the only Cosplay I have devoted my attention to but I'm sure I will make another one before the year is through. I will be posting up the updates of the costume and post up pictures and instructions of how I have made it. But for now I will bid farewell.
Let me know how you decide on what you want to Cosplay? and do you have as much trouble as I do? Also let me know what you are Cosplaying this year I would love to know.
Take care and stay Geeky
