30 day cosplay meme

I found this cosplay meme and since I'm a bit low on time to make blog posts about my current projects I figured this would be fun.

And for your information, the reason why I'm low on time is that I happen to work with World Ski Championships that are going to take place in Falun in February. Counting from Friday-Sunday I realized that I had spent almost 40 hours working with them, and of course I have my regular work as well. I really want to finish my 1780's stays and I have received all the fabrics for the gold handmaiden, so I am working away on them.

Anyway, meme time.

1. Your first cosplay
Now, as a kid I called it dressing up, so I'm not sure that counts. I do remember having great fun taking part in the annual Easter parade up in the mountains where we have a cabin. I must have been around 6 or 7 and was dressed up as Pippi Longstocking, my sister and her friend were Pippi's horse. The thing was though that the parade took place on skis, down the main, rather steep slope of a mountain, and my sister's friend just couldn't ski, so I remember being annoyed that the horse couldn't keep up when I wanted to ski faster. The first cosplay I actually made myself was a jedi costume out of old bedsheets that I made for a halloween party in 2000.
