Officer Jenny Cosplay

I meant to post this earlier, but since my photographer posted it already I counted that as posted...

This is a very gratifying cosplay, as most anyone familiar with anime recognizes the ubiquitous Officer Jenny from Pokemon. I really enjoyed how I could relate to anyone from a sweet little girl I talked with at JAFAX to a kind older man who said he was 'anime's oldest fan'.

The costume took the better part of a day to make; it's mostly denier with pleather accents. I used headliner covered with pleather to make the belts. Still have to make her side pouch, it will probably be ready by Youmacon. I was honored to accept Judge's choice at JAFAX when I entered it in the costume competition. The wig started out long and straight and BRIGHT GREEN. I dyed it using the tried and true acrylic ink and alcohol mix. It turned out well, as far as I'm concerned. Everybody asks about the hat, too: I used a form, ripped it apart, made patterns, and built it back up. The hat is the where it's at.

My associate is as the lovely Nurse Joy from the same series. The best I've ever seen.
