Cosplazy Blog

Just to let you lovely readers know, we here at Cosplazy are just as guilty of costume failure as you are.  Well…. I am anyway, and I’m not afraid to admit it. In fact, I think it’s really pretty funny. So, for your viewing pleasure:

Okay. This is me. It was my second costume AND second con ever.  I made it a week before the con. I was fourteen years old, and I thought it would be really cute to dress up as Keroberos the Guardian Beast from Cardcaptors Sakura.

Too bad it sucked.

Lets start with the control top pantyhose that are 100% visible underneath the hilighter yellow tights. Was this an attempt to look sexy? Were the lights dim when I put them on, or did I just decide it was okay? If I felt I needed two pairs of tights to hide my cottage cheese thighs, I should have invested in some “sheer-to-waist” tights. N00b.

Let’s move to the boots that were once black but painted white, then apparently colored in with a hilighter.  High-five!  You’re the winner of the “worst use of office supplies EVER” award. Good job wasting two whole bottles of white-out and a brand new hilighter to color those guh-nasty boots.

Now, on to the “leotard.”  The point of an “invisible zipper” is that you can sew it in so the garment looks zipperless.  You’ve clearly missed the point entirely. Also, there is a world of material you could have used other than symphony broadcloth.  It may not all be $1.99/yd like broadcloth, but it would have saved you from the feedsack effect*.

AND THE FACE. Why did you feel it necessary to paint on a kero-chan smile? You look like a douche.

The only good thing about this costume is that the wings can double as pillows. Don’t sleep too hard though, the sharpie spirals might come off on your face.

*Feedsack effect is a term used when a garment appears baggy and flat, as if a person were wearing a feedsack.
