I guess it's about time I create a thread to show off my many cosplays.  I do have quite a lot, so I think I'll start off by showcasing my Sailor Moon cosplays only.  Perhaps I'l add others as they become completed/I receive photos.

So pretty!!! ive seen some of your pictures on google image search,  while I was researching ways to make the sailor eternal chibiusa that im working on right now, your sailor chibi moon really helped me, especially with picking out material and color. Thank you!!!

Oh wow all your cosplays are great! I think my favs are Black Lady and Beetlejuice XD

Thank you so much everyone!

Here is my latest cosplay - Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games. It's only a last minute closet cosplay I wore to the movie premiere of Catching Fire the other day. My friend Katherine is dressed as Katniss Everdeen.

Really amazing work, PockyPants! I especially love the dark expression you have as Wicked Lady!

Thank you tsuki!

Added to the cosplay list for this year: 


...because an ebay store sent me a yellow sailor moon wig when I was expecting blonde for live action cosplay... oh well! Good excuse to do anime cosplay! lol

You could always use the yellow wig for super 90's anza/miyuki/fumina/marinamoon seamy cosplay~~  

Oh good idea! Dem costumes though... so elaborate lol

Wow really nice, Love the hunger games. :3

Dd you ever make the ribbon bathing suit?? I wanna see! Your cosplays are really great!

Thank you! No I haven't done the bathing suit yet - waiting for summer so I can actually wear it!

Wow I didn't update this at all throughout the year, sorry guys! To be honest I had a very unenthusiastic year when it comes to cosplay. I did not create one single legitimate cosplay, everything I did was thrifted or thrown together.

Here is a small collage of my 2014 cosplays and disneybounds.



My plans for this year?

Obligatory for groups/friends.... Curdie from Princess and the Goblin and an [undecided] lady from Hyrule Warriors (Midna maybe? Zelda? Lana?).  These are likely to happen, I suppose.

What I'd actually like to do?

Everything that's been back burner-ed for so long. Swimsuit!Usagi, Princess Sailor Moon, PJs!Chibi Usa, Fuko Ibuki from Clannad, Jem from Jem and the Holograms. Likelyhood? Slim.

Ok I guess my enthusiasm isn't any better now.  Sorry I'm being such a Debbie downer. lol

You know despite these being thrift/closet cosplays, these are really awesome! You still know how to pull it together even if you just pulled it out of the closet.

Thanks Small Lady!  My love of playing dress up will never end. I think I'm just over the stress and construction.  I never liked sewing despite trying to force myself to it for so long.  lol

A-kon was this last weekend, here's my newest moonie cosplay!

Omg look how cute you are!! It looks so good. *in awe* :O

Oh wow! Such wonderful budget cosplays! I would have never known that you rummaged through your closet for some of them if I hadn't seen a comment about it.

Very nice! You make an adorable ChibiUsa! I also really like your most recent PallaPalla cosplay. Are my eyes deceiving me or did you use foam to craft parts of the outfit?

Thank you so much y'all! My husband made Palla Palla for me. The bodysuit, other than the ruffles and thong, is completely made of foam.

Omg that PallaPalla! LOVE!!! You totally nailed it!

your cosplays are always super cute!

do you go to one of the parks to Disneybound?

Thank you!!!

@Sammywhatammy - Yes! It was a lot of fun getting to Disneybound at the parks, cast members love it!

that's awesome!  I go to Disneyland all the time and see some pretty great DBs and the cast members definitely get excited hahaha

Ooooh jealous! Last year was my very first trip to a Disney park, it really was as they say: "Magical!"  I'm hoping our next trip to take a Disney Cruise! Someday!

sounds fun! *^* I'm hoping to go to Disney World soon - my first time back in 20 years!

You look so cute as Chibi-Usa!!! I love your Cosplays. Great job hun!

Recent cosplay things since my last update!

- Met the speaking voice of Jem from Jem and the Holograms, Samantha Newark, in my Jem cosplay.
 
- Closet cosplay/makeup test of Pizzaz from Jem and the Holograms (I forgot to include it in my collage, but it's on my FB page if you want to check it out)

- International Sailor Moon Day: I attended the Houston, TX event cosplaying as Palla Palla.  Won "audience favorite" in the costume contest with Sinnocent cosplay.  We also won the trivia contest, which was a lot of fun!

- AnimeFest 2015: Made my debut with my new cosplay group, Luxe Dolls, cosplaying as Sailor Mercury! We performed a skit (my very first!) in the contest and won "Judge's Choice".



But really if you're not already following my facebook page pls do so

PockyPants your cosplays are SO GOOD! I really want to start cosplaying but it's all so intimidating. You make it look so easy (even though I bet it's a ton of work)! Do you have any tips for someone who's never done it before?

First of all, you are a wonderful Chibiusa/Black Lady and PallaPalla is cute! From your non moonies I o like Frollo and is there one from Doctor Who? I admit my knowledge of things is very limited, but one of your cosplays resembles a character from DW.

Anyway xD Your cosplays are all very good. I actually didn't think some of those were thrift found and tweaked, I learned about it while reading this thread. You're talented really ^^

Ah!  I'm still alive you guys ;_;   Thank you so much for all your kind words and apologies for such incredibly delayed responses.

@Sailor Jupiter - My tips for a cosplay newbie (although this could apply to anything really) is just to remember we all start somewhere, practice makes perfect and USE GOOGLE.  The internet provides so many amazing resources and, these days, so many tutorials!  

Anyways things are winding down for me as my biggest convention of the year was a few weeks ago.  Luxe Dolls has grown into a much larger group than it was before so that was a huge project.  I'm so proud to say that we took home "Best in Show" at A-kon 27!!!  (I'm once again Sailor Mercury)

I also cosplayed Chibi Usa on another day.  My friend Liesl Luxe styled this amazing wig for me!

Ooooh look at you all!!! Y'all look so good!! Congrats on winning best in show! That's so awesome. I've always wanted to go to A-Kon since its only a state away. One day. ;-;
