Watching the Clone Wars VAs learn about funeral potatoes and then the audience going apeshit in their love for said potatoes is a new highlight of my life

So I know it’s been a BIT but I’d like to thank @crash-bandi-boy for my BraveHeart (And also my bonus Riku jacket like 🥺🥺🥺🥺) I wore back in September for the salt lake FanX!

Also, one of the only things keeping me constantly going is that I posted that first pic on Twitter and a guy actually recognized me at the con from it and said hi like ;0;

thank you random person I wish we could have gotten a picture together but I was so surprised I forgot :(

FanX SLC rambles

Yesterday my husband and I took our kids to meet Ashley Eckstein. I've met her a few times before and she remembered me which always blows my freaking mind. She was so sweet and hugged all five of us and it was just magical and lovely and I love her.

Then we went and saw Daniel Logan. He met my husband last month at Elko PopCon and remembered him when we approached. He was so excited, giving hugs and shaking hands and talking to the kids and just being a sweetheart.

It was a good day.

#anyway i try not to meet too many celebrities because i dont want to be disapointed #but these two are golden #as is hayden christensen and anthony daniels #fanx slc #salt lake comic con #rambles #personal

Meeting Alex Kingston in Moll Flanders cosplay at FanX 2023

Just over a year ago, a little birdy (@now-theres-a-spoiler-for-you) informed me that to the best of her knowledge, Alex Kingston had never seen a Moll Flanders cosplayer. And as an avid appreciator of the Miniseries, I took it upon myself to become the first.

The Miniseries, "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders" (1996) of which Alex Kingston starred in alongside Daniel Craig, was Alex's major breakout role which led to her role on ER and her subsequent claim to fame. So considering the prevolence, I had to make it special.

I put in a LOT of work researching, sourcing fabric, internet deep-diving, and reading before I ever got started on the dress. The actual hard work of sewing the dress took a few months to make once the initial homework was done. Undergarments? Structuring? Patterns? All of these took a lot of guesswork on my part.

The original was created by costume designer, Trisha Biggar (Which if you are in the costuming community you will know her as the designer of Padme Amidala's wardrobe and the designer for Outlander) for the 1996 miniseries. The dress was constructed of fabric Trisha Thrifted in the 1960s in Sweden, most of which I am fairly certain is Indian Fabric specifically used for Banarasi Sarees. The dress is inspired by a common silhouette from the 1670s London England, based on common evening gowns worn at the time. Considering the substantial trade happening between India and England at that time, it makes sense that a dress is fine as this would’ve been historically constructed with Banarasi silk.

The original evening gown:

Sadly, I cannot afford to construct a dress entirely out of silk in this American economy, so sourced much of my fabric overseas and while I was in Egypt and Israel this summer. The rest of it was either Thrifted or appliquéd by hand by me. All of the notions and ribbons were Thrifted. I believe in doing everything possible to keep cosplay sustainable. There is a video on my TikTok which goes into detail on my construction process.

But once the dress was done, I was ecstatic, and It was time to debut it at a convention. The morning of Thursday FanX SLC, I got some pictures (in my River wig to preserve my curled hair) and this is how they turned out...

Then it was time to show The Queenston herself. I had been a little bit stressed that she wouldn't recognise the dress or wouldn't be very interested, but I held out hope.

Spoiler Alert; I had NOTHING to worry about.

Before I got to Alex, I got an autograph from Karen Gillan, who's table was next to Alex's. While in line, I was staring in awe at Alex, as she was just under twenty feet away. In between people, Alex glanced up to the crowd, then did a double take, and leaned over her table to see me through the crowd. Her mouth dropped open, she pointed straight at me, and she got all excited, and mouthed “You! Moll Flanders! Wow!” Time slowed down and I froze until I gave her a big smile (and I think a thumbs up?) and I was so starstruck that I was convinced I was hallucinating until she added “you look amazing!” still smiling, before going back to the next person. 

When I got to her table, she greeted me as Moll,and she said she'd "Never ever, ever seen a Moll cosplayer!" and I got to tell her that I made the dress. Alex absolutely loved my Moll Flanders cosplay. She told me it was the first one she’d ever seen. She was so sweet. I wasn’t anxious at all. I was so excited to finally meet her but I didn’t cry. I was actually so relaxed, which came as a surprise, as I have a track record of being emotionally overwhelmed and crying in front of Celebrities.

She was so nice and was so impressed with the dress. We got a Photo together and she ended up grabbing the shackles (is it even Alex Kingston without a cheeky touch?)

Then she signed my Making of Moll Flanders book and she flipped through it “oh this really takes me back. This was my favorite dress. The red velvet one. It was quite warm. I loved the big hat!”

For reference this is the dress she was talking about:

Then she looked up back at my dress and asked me “aren’t they fun to wear? Don’t you feel sexy?”

I said yes.

I was a liar.

I was actually incredibly uncomfortable but I would NEVER SAY THAT TO THE QUEENSTON.

So I just smiled and said yes. (I did feel sexy but 17 hours tightlaced in 1670s stays is not fun to wear)

Then at the photo op, Alex played with my hair XD

So that is the story of my most insane cosplay yet! I hope you enjoyed all you people out there on the internet.

wanna know a weird adhd remembering thing i had?

in the good luck charlie: the movie there is a scene where they are rushing through the air port to get to the airplane, but the entire building they are currently in, is in fact

the salt lake city Salt Palace convention center

this is the upper cat walk and on the left is the panel rooms

they then run DOWN the hallway that leads to the underside of the con center

TURNS OUT, THE ARE RUNNING BACK UP THE WAY BECAUSE GUESS WHAT, THATS THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRWAY

They are running from where the Homestucks usually hanged out, Im not kidding

I all remember this because I used to go to SLCC before it rebranded to Fanx

#adhd brain #becson text post #salt lake city comic con #i cannot remove this knowledge from my brain help

[captorcorp]

i'm looking into plans for going to anime central next year and... big conventions are starting to kinda intimidate me...

#kcat talks #i remember salt lake comic con being super packed and busy #but before that i've only been to my local small anime con #but!! i'll be going with my partner hopefully so that should make it a little less scary <3 #just oof the unfamiliarity and also being out of touch with cons from not going in years #and also the distance bc it's like a 30 minute drive away but i would have to uber that #or pay a lot for a hotel. but uber would be cheaper but less convenient. idk man #i always had parents drive me in high school OTL
