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 wondering how if that would change.  

Talking to these older female cosplayers (although younger than me), I decided to go for it.  I'm not sure when I will attend the next con, but I have decided to work on this cosplay.  I would also like to do a Disney parks version of Fairy Godmother, as the costumes are very different. I would also like to cosplay as the evil queen in her hag form, and as Ursula.  I think I would also like to do a gender bent Hades too.  All Disney movie characters.  Seems to be a theme.

So, I did change the name of my Disney IG and my twitter to Fairy Godmother Cosplay.  I am not going to change the name of this blog since I will continue to post many Disney (and Universal) related topics, but I will start a label for Fairy Godmother Cosplay.

So, I need to finish painting my living room and work on the kitchen remodel, but I do plan on also working on cosplay and posting about it here.

Bippidy-Boppity Boo!

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!

Not All the Disney, But Still Some Disney

I posted back on May 9 th , 2018 , that I was changing this blog from a family blog to a Disney blog.  I also mentioned that I was going to create a new blog for me to post about how life changed now that our daughter was an adult and doing school was no longer our day to day. Well, I have been pretty lacking on posting anything to be honest.  Actually, I just realized I have purchased some things for my Disney collection that I never shared here!  I am a bad, bad blogger. We never went to Disney for our 25 th anniversary, despite our best intentions.   I don’t foresee a whole lot of Disney vacationing in my future to be honest.   It’s gotten so expensive.   While I love Disney and love to do little Disney things, Disney crafts, Disney purchases. I also love Halloween, work at a haunted house attraction, garden, craft, have a work life, am dealing with the changes of aging and perception of aging.   I have a lot of things on my mind.   Instea...
