Well... if I'm safe... *winces and links* ...Technically it's better than a lot of the cosplay stuff out there, especially considering that it was sort of a last minute thing and the claw was all I really spent much time on. And basically, that took a nice sheet of hammered brass, and a bunch of those little brass paper fastener things. =) It was way too much fun.
Which is why I'm looking forward to someday doing the Mullenkamp costume... lots of metal things to make, between the headdress, collar, armbands, and bikini. =
Oh, I like it! You did a nice job, and no, I wouldn't have picked you for the Cosplay Awards. ;) It's pretty neat that you can metal-work like that.
You are braver than I if you'd go out in public in sth as revealing as Mullenkamp's outfit! But you'd be very popular, I'd imagine. I thought about going to Otakon as Princess Kida (from Atlantis) as a secondary costume, but the thought of wandering around in a bandeau top wasn't very appealing. :)
Well, the two big flaws of my body are that I'm kind of flat, and a bit underweight. The latter's sort of socially acceptable, at least more so than being overweight (though it pisses me off, but that's a long story). And really, I don't mind the former, because it means that uncomfortable bras are not necessary. ;) So basically I'm pretty comfortable with my body, and have no problem showing some skin. And I'm one of those people who will wear anything for a gag anyway.
Not to mention, it's my face that makes me ugly, and I go around showing that all the time anyway. :D
