Description
BEHOLD. A PHOTO OF ME WITHOUT WIG/LASHES/CORSET/CONTACT LENSES TAKEN ON MY CRAPPY WEBCAM. This picture might surprise some of you who might have assumed I was blue eyed, black haired and pale. I'm also not wearing heels, which puts me at around 5'3" on a good day.I loved dress up and playing pretend when I was little. I liked to be a princess, Xena, sailor moon or even Luke Skywalker. I used to imagine myself looking totally different in my head and would go into excessive detail when explaining my new persona to the other kids.
"OKAY GUYS. GUYS. I HAVE BLONDE HAIR, BLUE EYES AND I'M HANDSOME AND A BOY BECAUSE I'M LUKE SKYWALKER. SO I'M WEARING BEIGE AND I HAVE A LIGHTSABER."
When I got older I graduated into cosplay, which is like playing pretend but a lot more expensive and time consuming. Through cosplay I learned to sew, do makeup and hair, model and even act. For such a nerdy hobby it has taught me a lot of things and has introduced me to so many friends.
I can't remember where I was going with this, but it makes me really happy to know there are adults out there who still like to dress up and play pretend, and people who appreciate the effort and love we put into it.

Love your hair cut. Also I absolutly love how you still have such a massive enthusiasm to this day for a game thay started at childhood. And how you have turned that game into a life style. Don't ever stop. It to easy for us all to forget to endulge that little kid that still loves inside us.

A rose by any other name is still a rose. Nothing has been taken away from your beauty with this picture in fact is only gives it more, we now see just how beautiful the woman beneath all the makeup, contacts and wig is. And she is nothing short of stunning.

I can't wait to see you at ECCC this year. :happy: I'm trying to put together my first cosplay as well. I'm trying to construct Red Hood/Jason Todd. Hopefully I can get it all together in time.

That would be awesome! I would love to take some pics with you as Jason wearing Kori with my Roy

I'm all for an outlaws photo op. and I would proudly display that at my desk at work too.
So you did say you are coming to ECCC as Kori then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome! If all goes as planned I'll be doing RHatO Starfire with a Roy and potentially a Jason, and if I can't get into the right shape by then I'll be doing Scarlet Witch
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're perfect now what are you talking about "get into the right shape". You're too hard on yourself. You get that cos together and come March you flaunt it with Starfire attitude and if anyone says anything different Roy and I will take care of that.

Trust me, there's decent shape and then there is Tamaranean war-princess shape
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well if you wish to strive for war-princess shape then by all means bust that pretty ass of yours to do so. We will all marvel in your beauty because of it.
I still can't wait to see your WIP when you get started, including the wig style you choose and those killer contacts. Damn I'm getting ideas in my head of what we can expect already!
Well if you are going to do Kori justice then I better not half ass it for Jason. I don't want to be the stand out that didn't put forth the proper work for it.

AHHHHH!!!!! Why oh why did you post this? The mystique is all gone now! Here I thought you were just extremely good at cos-playing, using makeup and costumes to create an illusion of beauty and sophistication. Now I, and everyone else, will know it's not that at all, that really underneath all that there is in fact a terrifically attractive person!
I'm crushed, I tell you, crushed. I don't know what to believe anymore.
/sarcasm

Oh there is still a lot of work involved, believe me! Whenever I'm wearing a costume I feel like a miniature tank, there are so many layers of nylons and makeup and fake hair!
I'm pretty happy with my appearance, but like all people there are a thousand things I would love to change- at least many of them I can fix in the gym
