Ascendio: Sherlock and John Cosplay at the Sherlock Meetup

And now we get to the part of the con that made me squee and for which I spent hours preparing: Sherlock and John cosplay. For me, one of the most rewarding things when doing cosplay is finding a skilled and capable photographer who can capture the cosplay in a way that tells a story or reflects the personality of the characters I'm going for. And [livejournal.com profile] foxestacado is utterly brilliant at this sort of thing!

The above is just a teaser and one of my favorites, but click through here to [livejournal.com profile] foxestacado's post of Sherlock cosplay squee featuring [livejournal.com profile] qui_quae_quod as Kitty Reilly, [livejournal.com profile] dixiebell12 as the Speckled Blonde, [livejournal.com profile] chaeche as Sherlock Holmes and [livejournal.com profile] pennswoods as Dr. John Watson.

The last photos is an example of some unexpected cosplay that came about after I removed my wig and wig cap. In the morning, I had put my hair up into messy pincurls before securing the wig cap to make sure that I could wear the shorter haired wigs throughout the day. However, my hair was still damp when I did this so when I finally removed the wig and pins, I had this tremendous bushy frizz. And then because there just happened to be a deer-stalker, scarf, glasses and skull lying around...



I'm totally making an icon out of this for when I post my Fangirl updates!
