Disney Cosplay and Henna!


We recently went on vacation to the Unschoolers Waterpark Gathering at Kalahari Waterpark in Sandusky Ohio.  This is a great week of fun and friends!  I was able to put a little Disney in my trip on two occasions during the week and thought I would share.

One day is designated as Cosplay day, so I wore yellow shoes, black shorts, a red and white polka dot shirt and my Minnie Mouse ears.  It was super cute and I received a lot of compliments.  I even made an unhappy little girls’ day happier and we had fun talking about how much we both love Minnie.  Unfortunately I did not manage to get a full body shot of my Cosplay, but I did manage to get a selfie of my ears and shirt by the hot tub. 


It was very bright that day and I noticed that my own shadow looked like Minnie’s head, so I snapped a photo of that too. 

The next night is henna and movie night.  I love henna night.  I love the way it smells and seeing all of the amazing designs that people create.  I however, always make a stylized Mickey Mouse on my own hand.  People generally get a kick out of it.


During the last night we have a family dance and get family photos.  I wore my Minnie Mouse kigurumi.  The photographer thought it was cute and wanted to get a photo of the prop giraffe nibbling on my ears.  Only problem is I am short.  Its still a fun photo.

Fairy Godmother Cosplay

  I went to an Anime convention this past weekend with my daughter and some of her friends, along with one of my friends.  It was mostly anime but there were some costumes from other IP's, such as Disney.  I met several adult cosplayers who cosplay Disney character pretty often and enjoyed my conversations with them.  It got me thinking about my days as an older teen and twenty something and my favorite cosplayers back in the day.  I also did some cosplay back then and was feeling nostalgic.  As an 50+, plus sized adult, I generally do very generalized, non-specific cosplays.  But in recent years I have a dream cosplay of being Fairy Godmother from the original Cinderella animation from 1950.  I just adore her.  I started discussing it with my friend and wondering how my con experience would be different if I went in recognizable cosplay.  My friend and I sometimes get treated as "less than" at cons.  It feels ageist.  I am won...

Let Them Eat Cake, Pre-Trip Report Part 4

This is my last pre-trip report!  I meant to keep up with this more but it has been so busy these last couple weeks. I ordered two T-shirts for my husband and I to wear during our trip. I created 20th anniversary shirts over at  Zazzle . They turned out really cute! They are a pale yellow because my husband said he didn't want white, and say "Celebrating 20 Magical Years together" with a picture of old school Mickey and Minnie giving a smooch. Zazzle T-shirts "Celebrating 20 Magical years together" I also made two T-shirts for hubby and I to wear on our daughter’s Birthday from Custom Ink .   I chose them because they had a stock tiara design that I liked.   I think these shirts turned out super cute too.   I double checked with my husband before we had them printed to make sure the design was not too girly for him.   I chose purple and green because these are our daughter’s favorite colors.  They say "My Princess is Sweet 16" with a tiara ...

Home Made Mickey Waffles

I usually make eggnog pancakes for Christmas morning, but I waited too long to get eggnog and it was all sold out.  I remembered that I purchased a Mickey waffle maker (why have I not been using this appliance?) and I thought Ahh, holiday Mickey waffles!  I just used a regular boxed waffle flour but added a little vanilla extract and green and red food dye!  Very festive! Also on the menu was omelet roll, potato casserole, fruit salad, candied bacon, and cranberry sauce.  It was all super yummy!
