Debuted Connecticon 2009
This costume was a quick one to make. I purchased the cat suit online and made several alterations to it so that it would fit correctly. I made the belt myself and attached it with velcro, and embellished the collar with little silver studs.
The shoes were a real challenge because I wanted at least 4.5″ heels. Which I found, but they were torture to walk in. I lasted about two hours. Good thing I brought a second pair of 1.5″ heels to change into.
The wig was pretty easy to curl, I just put it in rollers and wet the whole thing with hot water. I used product and spray to keep it from frizzing, and it did a great job of staying neat during the con. 😀
The biggest problem I encountered was that the wig had TOO MUCH FIBER. I didn’t want to thin the wig, but there was just so much big curly hair going everywhere, that I looked even smaller >.>
This costume was also very very comfortable. (Other than the shoes) I could wear it all day! It breathed wonderfully. 🙂
Also Relevant to this Cosplay are the people that I Cosplayed with. Our group had a fantastic Spike, done by Josh Pegg, a very well-worn Electra (Movie), done by Anita Kalsi, and a fabulous photographer to capture our photoshoot. They’re costumes can be seen below.
Thank you for making me dream. “Cowboy Bebop” is a true masterpiece, just like your costume. Congratulations !
