so my Mary Poppins umbrella arrived in the post and it is SO BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE IT
but
the canopy is not black like I ordered
it’s green

unfortunately this is not my dilemma- my dilemma is now that I prefer the green colour and want to keep it forever and ever, but this is not strictly canon for the cosplay
however
however
green is often associated with villains

the transparent parrot head is also a little bit freaky looking
the big sweeping black coat I have has ornate scrolling patterns on it
Scary Mary is legit a thing

are you think what I’m thinking, slightly ominous fake crystal parrot head?
Just a friendly reminder that if you ever invite me to your wedding me and Jess will steal your detachable poofy arm sleeve things and generally behave like obnoxious six year olds the entire time

also we used to get called Fred and George all the time at school
no idea why
oh gosh that’s a lot of people being very nice about my ridiculous face ;w; thank you!
also here have my personal favourite as an extra

Mary Poppins- make up tests.
Still very WIP with this cosplay; waiting on a better shirt that I’ve ordered and I might attack the jacket to make it more film-canon (don’t worry I have the bow-tie… somewhere). Wig could also do with some tweaks but I might need a stylist to help (how do you Edwardian hair) but I think the contouring is working out?
I’ve had a few requests to see the nail colour I was talking about the other day, but it’s so darned pale it just looks white in any pictures I take :C I tried though
I’m wearing all my super obnoxious clothes today though so there’s that I guess

YES THAT WAS ME HI also jkgsajfas how did you even

Mango someone has been finding your gifs of me I knew that livestream would come back to haunt me

So I decided to make myself look like a cynical dimension hopping quantum physicist this morning
just a test, think I need some purple/grey shading to get the I’ve-been-up-all-night-doing-science look down but eh, it’s a start
I think the biggest irony about this was reapplying freckles after covering my own with foundation (_ )_
So as per request I tried styling my hair in a Robert Lutece style and…
it
worked.
Surprisingly easily.
So yeah huh I guess that might wind up being the second cosplay I do at the London Expo in October after all 8|

I look like I just had a haircut and it accidentally came out two shades away from Robert Lutece’s

like maybe if I straightened it and acted more sciency

and wasn’t wearing eyeliner
oh wait no he could totally rock that
So since some of you are still insisting I could do a Rosalind cosplay I messed about with my hair. It’s way too short and red but I was surprised at how easy it was to coax into an anti-gravity wave function style 8|
Also haha I am actually starting to get freckles this year because I get to see sunlight what
