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!

Loss of Pets

We have had kind of a rough year.   We have lost three dogs, and its been an adjustment.   We had an older dog that was a German pointer lab mix.   We also had two “puppies” that were about 8 years old, that came from the same litter.   We were never able to get a breed on them because they were so mixed.   The vet felt that even though they came from the same liter that they may have had two different fathers. Last November out little blonde girl, Eevee, got really sick.   She was lethargic and had bloody stools, so we took her to the vet.   She had stomach cancer and we went ahead and had them try surgery.   The surgery didn’t go well.   She ended up going septic, and we had to have her euthanized.   It was so hard. We were with her and gave her pets and told her we loved her.   She did pass peacefully.   She was ready to go.   Not only did we lose her, but ewe ended up having to take out a loan to pay for her surgery ...
