MY COSTUMES ARE COMPLETE. They’re, uh, nearly all genderswap costumes I DO WHAT I WANT. Ninth Doctor, Loki, Abigail Marston, Jackie Marston (reference: Jack’s normal outfit). Not pictured: Loki’s staff, because it’s over at Calli’s house where her dad’s going to make a fishing-pole case for it so I can actually bring it. I realize these are super crappy pictures, but I don’t have a lot to work with–I can’t actually close my closet door, for instance, because boxes, and I couldn’t find my mini tripod–but at least this is an idea of my SDCC costumes. Ridiculously, the Jackie Marston costume is both the most complicated and the most obscure; I’ll be lucky if anybody besides Calli and Jo know who I’m supposed to be. Also the belt on the Loki costume kind of makes me look shorter and stumpier than I already am, so that’s unfortunate. Oh, and the last one’s a close-up of my earrings for Nine, which are made from tiny clock hands. I didn’t make them, sadly, but they’re still awesome. And yes, Jackie Marston has a tiny pistol in her boot.

Bring this back allllll the way from SDCC 2012 because I guess I could always do Abigail Marston again for ECCC if I can’t otherwise think of a fourth costume that would be easy to put together–assuming the shirt still fits and I can find it, it would be pretty straightforward and it wouldn’t take up a huge amount of extra room or anything (I mean she’s kind of obscure and nobody would recognize me but that’s not so bad). Or maybe the Loki one, especially since that’s the same dress I’m using for Wanda, although…idk, I don’t especially want to bring the crown again (I do know where that is, but the horns are feathers and easily broken) and that one ended up being more “outfit inspired by” rather than “actual cosplay” anyway so I was never entirely satisfied with it. and I’d have to bring a second pair of boots so okay not redoing that one.
