The Asian Princess of Power?

Although it’s not even the middle of May, I am already excited about my next cosplay!! The other month I was at my parents house being forced to clean out their closet and take home anything that was mine and I came across a white dress. Not just any white dress, but this was my 8th grade graduation dress! It didn’t look as small as I remembered (I must have been swimming in it) so I decided to try it on. And low and behold… IT FIT!

Anyhow, I have forever wanted to cosplay as She-Ra, one of my favorite cartoon characters from my childhood – I remember the He-Man/She-Ra 5 episode series when they first introduced her blew me away when I was a kid. So much drama! And she is his SISTER? wtf! So then it finally hit me – this dress reconstructed would be a PERFECT She-Ra costume!

The only thing I dislike about dressing as a popular character is that people stop you ever 5 seconds for pictures. But I guess my love for She-Ra is greater than that annoyance. More than anything, I just want to make a kick ass legit costume like Vampy Bit Me or Kamui Cosplay. In the meantime, I am doing all sorts of research on how to build a sword, using Wonderflex for armory, and maybe even expandable foam?? Also, today I bought a blonde wig on eBay. Woo hoo! I’m on my way!
