    Timorous the philly comicon would be the one I go too I live right across the bridge in nj! An again those are awesome. We love GoT and Vikings are one of my to dos also.

    Bunbunz kitana is a bold choice! I wouldn't be able to do a mortal kombat character this year bc most of them are shirtless an I'm not ready for that yet. Maybe Raiden

    Yeah she is :) But I really liked cosplaying her, she's the only cosplay I've redone and reused ever :D And still going to continue :P Just hoping I can build some more muscle to look more like her..
    And it's true most of them are practically shirtless but there are a lot of characters and costumes to pick from :)

    I didn't go as any particular character due to the limits of finding anything in my size, but I found a nice black dress and teamed it with a long black wig. I will dig out a picture. :)

    Randomtai is that a huge one? I imagine it'd be one of the largest in the country.

    Abby you can just post one after your next comicon

    Yup, not as big as SDCC or DragonCon but it's getting up there. I went 2 years ago and cannot wait to go back in costume :D

    I love cosplay! I promised myself that I would buy a new cosplay once I reach goal weight but I honestly have no idea who I would suit, since I don't know what my body shape will be. In the past I've cosplayed as a few anime characters and also as Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time. I'm leaning towards maybe cosplaying as an Avenger (probably a female version as my breasts have always been too big for binders). I'm down to 167lbs from 211lbs with a goal of 140lbs so I really need to start thinking about who to cosplay!
    Here's me as Lumpy Space Princess (at 200lbs, urhg) in case anyone wanted to see. Painting my skin purple was the hardest part, haha. 4lk6mgvtxomi.jpg

    I am actually very jealous of my son who is going to MCM in May with a friend. I wish I could go with them but I wasn't invited. :(

    Marzi congratulations on your weightloss so far very impressive. And it does look like the painting would be very tedious lol and thank you for sharing. I you're open to costumes outside of avengers but still superhero so think you could make a good kitty pride from Xmen. And when you get to your goal weight the xmen uniform would really show of your accomplishment

    Thank you! I'm not an Xmen fan, unfourtunately... but yeah, I do want something that can show off what I'll have achieved. Maybe I could try Black Widow or Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist...

    Ahh lust would be a great one. I like fma but I don't think there's a char Id cosplay from there. I was thinking of Maybe dabbling in naruto Dbz or Kenshen if I were to do an anime

    I love how geeky this is. <3 These are lovely pictures, too.

    I just want to fit into one of my bodices this year without it looking insane or making me look inhuman, which, as a squishy person, happens way too much. I have one with extra panels attached from a similar style bodice and would like to make it so that i can get rid of those, too.

    One of these days I need to come up with a creative cosplay for the convention I work at.

    I did Christine from The Phantom of the Opera last year but I was fat!Christine. I'd like to dress up again but as a more believable ballet girl this time, lol. I'd also like to dress up as Columbia from Rocky Horror, I think that'd be fun.

    Again it seems like my post was cut in half. Maybe it's my phone an I just can't see it? Hopefully I'm not double posting.
    Nj gamer what was the costume that you wore that needed that?

    Paper wings that's a good idea I never seen anyone be Christine. Can you sing like her too!?

    A corset is usually strapless and can go under or over the bust and down to the hips. They lace up in the back. A bodice tends to stop at the waist and usually has straps. They are mostly under the bust and also lace up in the front. It's subtle, but corsets didn't really exist until later. Oh, historically, a corset is worn under clothing traditionally as shapewear, whereas a bodice was acceptable to be worn visibly.

    It's for Renaissance Faire. I try and make it every year. I've also worn full garb for certain conventions here in NJ. I love dressing up but don't get the opportunity to do it much.

    Rocky Horror! I haven't been to a live show in so long! <3

    Haha, that's funny I was inspired by the same thing I dressed up as Mr T this past Halloween and had a great time but had to admit Mr T had gone to seed a bid so I promised myself that for 2015 I would go to the next party as Bain but would look the part. That's was 18 weeks and approaching 42 pounds ago!!

    Amazing how silly things can kick start your motivation!

    Good luck
