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!

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!
