I can't lie - I'm playing Ramona Flowers bingo. I've only seen this term applied to Homestuck characters, but basically it means I'm going to cosplay every version of this character I can
and you can't stop me. This is my third version of Ramona so far (see
#1 and
#2).
Taking photos of this costume has been a comedy of errors - first, at Ikkicon, my camera's auto focus was broken so I couldn't take any pictures myself; when I got the chance to take photos with a local photographer, I totally forgot to wear my belts. Even so, I really love the shots that we got, and the photos I've found so far, despite everything.
As usual, Ramona's costumes are super comfortable and relatively easy to put together. She's definitely my favorite character to dress as (though I'm sure that's pretty evident by now!). One improvement I made this time around was printing some of my
cosplay contact cards with Ramona's phone number - more of a hilarious in-joke to me than anything.
Conventions:
Materials:
- Wig: Arda Wigs Greta in Royal Blue, cut and styled
- Hooded shirt: Amazon
- Jean Jacket: Thrifted
- Belts: Amazon (#1, #2)
- Pink shorts: Thrifted (bought as pants, cut into shorts)
- Tights: ModCloth
- Subspace Bag: Amazon
- Necklace: Shoelace
- Gloves: Hot Topic (years ago)
- Hammer: DIY
What's next for Ramona? Well, I am working on another Ramona costume already, this time from the movie. I'll be re-making her hammer to match the movie version (rather than this one, which is more of a video game/comic hybrid). With the movie version, there's also the additional challenge of doing my makeup to match an actual person rather than a cartoon. I'm excited to see how I do!
Logging you in...

I have natural red hair, and it grew past my boobs. I cut it pixie style myself and dyed it blonde last summer.
Sometimes you just have to take risks and go for it! c: I bet you could pull it off, don't lose confidence!!

I agree with Harlynn - you should just go for it! Usually we fear change more than the actual change itself. You could always get a wig first and see how it looks! :)

There is one convention that happens in my area every year, and it's called Senshi-con. I haven't been to it before, but I am really hoping to go this year! I am still debating on what to cosplay, but I am thinking about my daughter and I going as characters from Adventure Time (we both love the show)!

You should definitely cosplay from Adventure Time with your daughter - it would be so fun! Plus the characters are fairly simple so it's not too difficult! :)
