Heart of Ice

I'M ON SEWING VACATION WOO-HOO! I AM NOT GOING TO SEW ANYTHING FOR A WHOLE MONTH AND I AM GOING TO FINISH ALL MY IN-PROGRESS VIDEOGAMES AND CATCH UP ON MY COMICS AND WATCH SOME ANIMU AND READ SOME MANGOS. AND GO TO THE GYM... that too.

So glad Fan Expo is over. Two cons in less than a month is too much for me, and 2013 has proven to be a very busy and tiring year so far. As you can tell I was a little lazy Fan Expo Sunday and rewore Loki instead of Wanda because she's too high maintenance and there is a lot I want to tweak before wearing her again. I was really, really tired that day but I met so many awesome people and had so much fun in costume it was totally worth it.

Why is the makeup different from previous versions? The Norse myth passed down through the generations is that Loki woke up late, very badly wanted Tim Hortons (and didn't want to worry about getting lipstick everywhere) and decided if anyone asked he was going 'chaotic neutral' that day.

Copy pasta'ed costume notes:

This costume was made in very short time with great help from my cosplay buddy and is entirely made by hand (the horns included) and worn by me.

The particular design of Lady Loki I'm wearing was created by the wonderful and is second only to the original canon design of Lady Loki (aka hey bro I'm wearing your girlfriend) in my heart. I think her modern, earthy reimagining of the costume is true to the character and all the small details really make it stand out from the crowd to me.
