Today is Census day here in the UK. The last one was 10 years ago when I had just started capping and of course I used it as a source of inspiration. It's amazing how many things have inspired me to cap over the years. I think I also used some of the images I found on the official website. So anyway I thought I would share it with you all.
This was created for Crow over at Rachel's Haven.

Census 2011 (2011) |
I bought a new dress for the first time in months and in fact it was something I had planned to buy and wear to an event last year which never ended up happening because of the obvious. It was a lovely TARDIS themed dress which I ended up getting at a reduced price. Here's the link below:
I've also been think a lot more about cosplay recently as now would be a good time to work on some stuff although I don't expect any conventions or events to start up again until 2022. I still have some other things I need to get to complete a a couple of cosplays though. Sometimes I do think about whether I want to continue doing it mainly due to the type of cosplay I do and the fact that I'm getting older. If I didn't have a group of friends to do this with I doubt I would continue although there are still a lot of costumes I see on TV that make me really want to dress up so there is still some spark there. Wigs and make-up are probably my biggest concern but I just don't seem to have the impetus to deal with them now. Ironically since the many lockdowns we've had since last March it would probably have been the best time to learn how to do my make-up but still I just seem to lapse into watching TV when I'm not working.
Speaking of which, I'm reaching the end of my Doctor Who rewatch now so of course I've fallen in love with Clara Oswald's wardrobe all over again and in the course of falling down a few internet rabbit holes I've found this wonderful blog that has now got me considering more Clara cosplays:
One final link for you, I spoke a while ago briefly about the movie Psycho and it's effects on how crossdressing is now viewed. A friend linked me to this wonderful video on You Tube from Lindsay Ellis explaining in great detail about how the movie and other media has had an effect on transphobia.
