Maternity and Baby cosplay!

So everything's been a little slow this year since I was a little busy.... from the title you can guess that Guavious and I had our little Spawn! We had to skip Norwescon this year but I will try to recap dejathoris' adventures in a separate post. This post however will all be about little Spawn's first cosplay!

So when I found out I was pregnant I started coming up with the craziest and silliest ideas for cosplays.  However, many if not all were individually vetoed by different members of the group of just being too weird. I still think my Melissandre would be delightfully disturbing, but whatever.
Since I'm not officially obsessed with Gamora am the Guardians of the Galaxy I finally ended up deciding to do a Maternity cosplay shoot I dubbed "Pelvic Sorcery". I know I'm twisted. I still think it's hilarious.  Word of note though?  Body paint is very uncomfortable pregnant, and I broke the zipper on my boots. Thankfully they were my backup boots.



This past weekend Dejahthoris, Jeddak (Dejathoris partner in crime)  and I were able to meet up with a delightful group of cosplayers for a picnic in the park! Dejathoris was Belle, Jeddak was Littlefinger (a cosplay created for Norwescon) and I did what I'm calling Mother Nightwing and Robin. I've been wanting to do Nightwing for a while and this is phase one. Hopefully I will be able to continually adapt and update as I go along! Even though it was sinfully hot, Spawn enjoyed eating his mask and revealing his secret identity throughout our short but sweet visit. This is his first of many cosplays to come!

George RR Martin & the GOT Bag

Norwescon hosts this awesome contest every year called the "Single Pattern Contest" and a few years back, Dejathoris swept all the awards by making this spectacular bag out of leather entirely dedicated to George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones. Let me break the bag down for you for a moment:


 The three house sigils are hand drawn, carved and painted with the coordinating house words underneath.

On the opposite side the maps were transferred by citrasolve but had to be burned in as the citrasolve transfer was too light. The Kings Landing and Iron Throne were free hand burned in. 



She then added some of the most iconic oaths in the series. 

So why am I telling you all about this now? 1) Because the GoT bag is freaking awesome and 2) Because this past weekend Dejathoris headed down to our favorite Con to get the man himself to sign it! 

Apparently after powering through a million books and other amazing memorabilia he PAUSED, INSPECTED THE BAG and then asked "So where do you want me to defile this?" HOW GREAT IS THAT????


I don't know what else to say but EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
