Hello everyone,
I went to a convention yesterday with some friends of mine. I was considering various cosplays out of my existing ideas to try and had the idea of bringing my Amy Pond crossplay back. The night before I did feel quite positive about it all and I think my nerves were mainly about where and when to change. I knew that once I got past that hurdle then everything would be fine. Although there was a dedicated cosplay change area it was a little, um, intimate so I ended up getting changed in the toilets.
The day was definitely helped by the fact that I had some friends attending in cosplay too (and very good cosplay at that). I didn't really feel nervous at all but I was still a bit self-conscious. This was mainly due to the wig I had and it's a shame I didn't consider changing it before but as ever my procrastination meant that I didn't decide on what, if anything, I would be doing. I knew that if I didn't do any cosplay at all then I would feel rubbish the whole day especially walking round with my friends. I nearly did a Wash (from Firefly) cosplay just for the sake of not walking round in my normal clothes. Have I said the word 'cosplay' enough yet?
Anyway, I got a good enough reaction. It wasn't overwhelming but at least it was more positive than not. I stand by the outfit but I think it was just the wig that bothered me. I do cringe a bit when I look back at the photos now. I think I need to up my game a bit if I want to do this properly.
A good day overall though.
