RBs motivation: Okay willy nilly impulsy cosplays....notepad/kugelmugel update

Been listening to so much 80s, just like 8th grade again. DON'T YOU BRING YOUR LOVE DOWN, ALL NIGHT. Yaz is beautiful.

But still so watched Bee and Puppycat, Thankyou Kibi. I'm gonna be saying this for the rest of my life probably.

Found out lulu will be doing Bee(girl) for Daisho and I thought I had my lineup of Notepad-Rwby-Fluttershy. But I think I'll be adding Puppycat instead of fluttershy. Who knows I might jsut pile one on the other just because scheduling with other people always sucks. But it'll be fun. And it might be good for me to be just as erratic as some people and their cosplays (no offense to people that do plan 5 in one day nonproffessional) It's just not my thing right now. Too much UNNEEDED stress for me....

But yeah get back to positive here. So far this is my design because it's puppy cat, I don't want a huge project especially at such a surprise. It's mainly going to be a jacket, leggings and my trusty hiking boots. Going to reuse my kugelmugel wig as a somewhat genderbent version. More just young and edgy like I like. Because I imagine him as a either an old man or very princely (maybe like Kuro from Project K/Project.Gay). Most of it will be jsut detailing. Like adding brown tea bags on the pigtails because siamese. And KB gave my the awesome idea for masking tape/paperbag eye brows.

What I love about this cosplay is I get be grumpy cat, without actually being grumpy cat. And also gibberish. I've been breaking out into gibberish since 5th grade. NOW IT'S USEFUL :D

Next is the list of impulse cosplays I'm planning. Won't explain in full now but a somewhat genderbent peppermint butler. I just really want to experiment with a red and white wig for this. Thinking of turning a bucky fever wig (wisconsin) into a slick back mullet. Everything else will be details as well

Then there's the mookie000 bunnies. Honestly I'd love to do them all. But I think right not my first priority would be her LSP just because, I will never be too fat or too thin for her. Also purple leggins I already have!

Then I really love her Lady Rainicorn, and as a character I would probably do her over any other princess just because she's so bad ass and fun.

And then finally in the more mainstream cosplay ideas, I always look for FP when it comes AT princesses cosplaywise (Marceline still fav but FP makes a close second in princesses) And look at this adorbs bunny.

Obv. She's done more but those I don't feel like posting since I don't think I'll ever want to cosplay them in the future. I'll have to like really build up my self for Marceline, want to do her beauty justice.

Then in the actual realm. I so far fixed the Kugel Mugel vest. It originally had one awk button that held nothing but boob shame. So I actually sewed on more. First time adding buttons to anything. Used a man proof sewing site for reference, because I know myself. Diff. buttons? Eh DGAF it's ART



Don't have pictures yet but so far I made real progress on notepad, well I think. I am becoming very savvy with the machine, fast learner, no fear, no time, ultimate motivation. My seams are a little metrosexual. But hell did I hem the shit out of a bar napkin. SO DAMN CLOSE TOT HE EDGE YOU COULD MAKE A SEX SOLO ON THAT SHIT.

I think I'm really coming along on her and I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR SHIT
-also no more comic con chicago cuz fuck that BUT I GOT TO GO TO COMIC CON MADISON WITH MY DAD HOORAY!!!-

RB's motivation: Notepad progress (baby steps)

So making first steps on the Don't hug me I'm scared Notepad dress. This is probably the costume I'm most excited for, and ironically will be the least recognizeable. But right now I don't care because I LOVE this design so much. And it's from an artist I loooove, and have been watching for over a year now. I don't even fucking use tumblr but I go on just for her

For those that don't recall, this bridal beauty. I'm not even necessarilly part of the fandom, I don't mind it one bit. I actually cosplay on more of a design and visual calling more than really a relation factor to a character. Not that I don't like this dhmis video, I love it actually. But it's just I heard about it from Mookie000 and the love of her design. And she's the only reason I watched the fucking thing.

Besides psychology and learning techniques. Onto cosplay WIP! 

I decided to use this dress I had in my closet, never wore, ironically I bought it cause it fit. And I didn't want to sacrifice it to become a meat dress. That feeling is gone now though and it will become something better! 

As you can see the fit is more of a frock than a ballgown. I'm moving the waist up from the design to fit my body type better. Because honestly I got some pudge, I'm not embarrassed to show it off. I wore a hillbilly crop top just a few days ago because of a heatwave. I just know based on my height they don't sell formfitting, nonslutty cute white dress, for petite girls with pudge in their tits and ass. That's a fact. I've checked.

SO WE ARE IMPROVISING TO BE CHIBI. Here I also hated the spaghetti straps, they were actually painful because they couldn't handle holding up my tits in certain lesbian wedding gay club parades. So I did what I've been wanting to do forever. I took the weird ribbon in the back and turned them into straps
First successfull run on the sewing machine! I can't sew straight but I don't care! I'm learning!

Also took the small ribbons in the front off, can't really see here, but they are gone

And here I'm also adjusting, since limited room, the tuxedoish part at the waist. Gonna try and disguise the double waist cinch thing with the folding. Here's a size ref from some earrings (given to lulu) just to figure out where the buttons would go.

Also props for stealing cloth napkins (accidentally) from work three days in row. One will go to cosplay as a lovely reminder of my first job. I'll return the rest I promise. Will figure out a way to fold these more neatly but here's for reference of future.

Next will be the black sides, and the real buttons. And maybe soon the fun part of the rag skirt! (really looking forward to that part)

UPDATE: Small sketches to better explain my idea. Chibi with frock sort of waistline to the left, move up of tuxedo part on the right. I'm opting out of the middle fold, but it was sharpie so can't really redo anymore

Did you know mookie designed purple veins on the boots and gloves? I didn't! Fabric paint I'm awaiting you honey

Oh jesus got to figure out that pencil headpiece. It came to me once in a fever dream and left me forever
