WonderCon Recap: In Plain Sight Panel
We had an amazing time at WonderCon, but easily the best part of the trip was our panel, “In Plain Sight”, on Sunday afternoon.
We had an absolutely amazing time discussing how to integrate geeky and nerdy fashions into your daily wardrobe. We filled up the room and handed out all the ducks too!
We were all in agreement that by bringing your fandoms into your daily wardrobe is a great way to bring out your inner superhero on a daily basis.
Part of the discussion was a review of the Team Build Checklist. Feel free to download and print it by clicking here.
We enjoyed meeting each and every one of you, and hope to present this panel again at SDCC in July. I’ll keep you posted.
Feel free to post questions and/or points of discussion in the comments.
Until next time…
Love, Kim and Benji
Pin-Up Iron Man Cosplay
My latest creation for WonderCon was a pin-up Iron Man Cosplay, complete with light up arc reactor!
I am super duper proud of this cosplay, so let’s break it down with some shopping links!
I used my handy dandy cosplay Team Build Checklist. Print your own check list here.
The Team Leader- Arc Reactor
I found this fantastic arc reactor online at Etsy. Get your own here. It runs on 3, AAA batteries for hours and hours. I wore it all day at WonderCon (about 7 hours) and the batteries were still going. It didn’t get hot to the touch or even warm, and it is super lightweight. The artist provides a sticky pad to adhere it to your clothes, but I utilized the loop to make a necklace out of it. It didn’t show up in most pictures, but it is super bright.
The Brick- Dress from Amazon
I cannot recommend this dress from Amazon highly enough. It comes in a gazillion colors and it really and truly size inclusive, going up to 4xl. I am wearing a 4xl in these pictures. I apologize for the wrinkled look. The iron in my hotel room was pretty sad and didn’t do a good job at all getting it pressed for me after unpacking it. Get your own dress by clicking this link.
The Scientist- My DIY Saddle Shoes
Check out the tutorial post here.
The Exotic- Shrug, Gloves, Sunglasses and Petticoat from Amazon
Again, I recommend Amazon as your first stop when looking for accessories to dress up your cosplays and bounds. Get the shrug here. Get the gloves here. Get the sunglasses here. Get the petticoat here. All four from Amazon, and also all come in a gazillion colors.
The Blaster- Hair and Make-up
This cosplay didn’t require a wig or any super special make-up. For pin-up, a nice red lip is a great finishing touch. I wear “Love Is On” by Revlon. Get yours here.
Adaptations for Everyday Wear
This one is pretty simple to adapt to everyday wear. Lose the arc reactor and put on an arc reactor pendant instead. Click this link for a cute one. I’d also lose the petticoat and that’s pretty much all you need to do to take this look to the office or out and about.
As always, professional pictures by Justin Davidson Photography. Book him here. You’ll be glad you did!
Happy Shopping!
Until next time…
Love, Kim and Benji
