Ambrosia
So we ran into a bit of a dilemma a few days before the con and desperately needed a Robert for our skit, so my super roommate Tom and his endless supply of suits and ties came to the rescue! I don't think this exactly counts as his first time cosplaying, but it was a hell of a lot of fun toting him and showing him how ridiculous this hobby can be.
He's a trooper, but considering the disaster I left the house in after working on this dress, and how high I ran our electric bill ironing on every last one of those flowers, I think he's about ready to kick me out and throw me back down the magical sewer I came from. So in a way, he's pretty much my real life Robert, so it worked out pretty well!
Too bad I'm still retarded for Prince Cyclops, even if he was busy stabbing buses in Manhattan that weekend. Wow, nobody will get that joke. It's okay. I DO.
Fun fact: if you look closely, you can see my earrings are little hearts with a promo shot of Robert and Giselle in the center. Claire's was having a sale and I couldn't resist :V
