First Post

Since I've gotten it into my head that I WILL be trying my hand in cosplay despite my age, build, height and every other short coming I have, real or imagined, I thought I'd chronicle my little ventures and adventures in this uncharted land.

So first off, I need to find costumes and props that travel well and won't get eyebrows raised at me over if I decide to fly instead of take a bus or whatever. This is a list of what I'd like to do and what, if any, props will be needed:

Harley Quinn: Gun, mallet

Rule 63'ed Superboy: None

Sith Lord: Lightsaber, misc. odds and ends

Am thinking I want to do the Harley one first even though there's going to be a lot of trial and error with it. I'm going to probably have the costume itself made for me which means I'll have the prop stuff left to do which will be the most time consuming. Thankfully Rowdy's good with the crafting aspect of stuff so maybe that won't be such an issue after all. The second hardest thing to do is figure out how to do something kind of original for a Harley-look without being too much of a divergence that she's unrecognizable. Don't exactly want to do the 'sexy' look as that's kind of over done but not sure how to go from there. Whatever, I'm going to need to shed a few pounds and get ready for outfits that are either skin tight and/or belly baring.
