This photo was too perfect not to share with all of you. If you are a regular on Tumblr or Pinterest, then you have most likely have seen this photo. If not, make sure your bladder is empty because you will be laughing at this photo for a good five minuets. Are you ready? I'm not sure you are but I am going to show you anyway.

Done laughing? I told you that it was a great photo. I am so happy that someone did this cosplay. It is almost as perfect as the couple that went around as the  Wayne Family. Don't know what I am talking about? Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

If you follow us on our facebook page( if not, now is a good time to head on over and "like " us. It will help out with our self esteem.), then you have already seen this post on your feed. If not, you are in for a treat.

Sacha Goldberger from Facebook posted these amazing versions of modern characters in period Renaissance gear. It's given me the itch to make my own versions of these costumes. Take a look at the amazing work that Sacha and his team achieved.


I think I am personally in love with the Superman costume. It may be because he is my favorite character, or the fact that I am in love with the fabric choices. Blue damask? I am all over that. :)

Along my pinterest travels I found this interesting picture/tutorial. A guy that was into LARPing (live action role play) plays a dwarf character. He really wanted to look the part, so he found a way to fake his height.  The idea was so simple and perfect for the character that I had to share it on this weeks Astonishing Costuming.

Wasn't that such a good idea. Props to you man!

If you a trolling around on pinterest, you are sure to come across some cosplayers dressed as the Disney princesses. I admit that I have given some serious thought to making a Jane or Ariel costume. I think it is every adult girl's dream to finally have that beautiful dress.  So I thought I would dedicate this week's Astonishing Costuming to the variations of Disney Cosplay Princess.



Who needs a prince to save you when you are your own warrior princess?  


Show me how you burlesque....sorry it was there. I had to quote that Christina Aguilera movie. 


It's a bird, it's a plane, no its the Disney Princesses!

The crossover was bound to happen with the new Star Wars coming out.

Kids are just too gosh darn cute.With their mispronouncing of words, their big eyes, and the uncanny ability to see the world in a unique way.  But do wanna know how they can get cuter? You are thinking right now that isn't even possible.  Well have you ever seen a kid cosplay? I'll tell you that my ovaries burst when I see a kid in the cutest costume. 


Here are a few of my favorite photos of kids and their fun costumes.

Well, I hope that you had your fill of kid cuteness. If not, just search "Kid Cosplay" on pinterest and you will find all kinds of cute photos of kids and their awesome costumes.

Until next time,
Amanda

San Diego Comic Con is going on this weekend. Like every other geek girl, it is my dream to go there. Until I magically have a lot of money or become famous, I will spend my weekend looking at all of the wonder costumes that the convention goers wear.

So in honor of SDCC, I will show you all my favorite cosplays from this weekend (thus far!).

Loved that someone thought of this! It was one of my favorite movies growing up.

Very clever way to get around!


This is all just from day one! I can only imagine what the rest of the weekend will look like. Do you have a favorite costume from SDCC?
