Iron Man
Ah. It is invisible to me. I do think the conception of that was crappy, as was the Silver Surfer, but the magic of cosplay is that it's not about me. I figure once you start conceiving an Iron Man that's puffy you're off in your own head canon.
I haven't seen a cosplay concept that was bad. I've seen some terrible execution, and I've seen some really baffling things, like the person who was dressed as a giant piece of toast, but nothing springs to mind as a bad concept.
I went to the farmers market, then the bookstore, then the grocery store to get stuff to make complete meals out of the things I got at the farmers market. Now I've got to figure out whether I'm still allowed to park in front of my house -- my neighbors said that they always have parking restrictions on this block for the vintage car thing tomorrow, because the cars to be judged park here, but so far, there aren't any "No Parking" signs. So far, most of the street spots are still taken by regular cars, so I guess I'll stay unless that changes.
I will say, I don't know who the Silver Surfer is, or what he's supposed to look like, but as soon as I saw that costume, I understood that's who he was supposed to be!
Also, my opinions on cosplay may be suspect, because the Infamous BlueJay has informed me that we're doing to do a gender-flipped version of the Fabulous Killjoys incarnation of MCR. She's promised she'll make a Jilli-appropriate (i.e. skirts and petticoats) version of Gerard's outfit. I have no idea how that will work, but okay.
What horrifying things are you saying about the classic rock?
Mostly how I don't like The Beatles much, and reminiscing about stuff the songs remind me of. And the occasional factoid.
Booyah. I got yer panel right here and I'm totes going to make that gag on tumblr in a sec. AND TAKE ALL THE CREDITS.
Thiefy thief!
He's such a tease...
I'm not normally a butt person, but he does have a nice ass. And he is a wee tiny man.
You can always tell the tourists, though, because they tend to follow the rules.
Ha! It's the opposite in LA. We have such a huge volume of traffic that jaywalking actually gets ticketed (often), and I had to re-train my East Coast self to only only ONLY cross when I'm supposed to. I get so very pissed (and mutter "tourists!" disgustedly under my breath) when someone crosses against the light.
I have to say, overall, there's a lot less nastiness and honking driving in SoCal than in New England and New York. You have to drive assertively, but there's a kind of grim communion among the drivers -- the only time anyone honks is when someone is really being an asshole or is completely oblivious.
