#Versailles cosplay

[searincosplay]

I recently found a cheap used lacefront off of eBay and styled it specifically for the Takarazuka version of Oscar! I want to make several looks from their productions at some point and decided to dedicate a wig specifically to it. The style has changed a lot over the years of productions, so I kind of picked the elements I liked best from different ones and combined them.

The base wig was straight, so I did a roller set, steamed it, combed it out, and trimmed the bangs and layers afterwards. Thanks @gormasmus for teaching me how to do roller sets, it's so much more efficient than a curling iron once you get the hang of it!

I'm actually planning on redoing my wig for my full military Oscar build which sounds crazy I know. I still plan on using my old wig for some of her looks, but I've realized I want to take the style a slightly different design direction for my competition build after some more thought and research.

You ever just make a casual version of a character and then never take or post photos?

Posting some casual Lady Oscar for Bastille Day today!

She's super comfy and easy to wear, and the shirt has 9 yards of lace at the ends of the sleeves. In case you didn't know: I love huge sleeves

The Chevalier de Lorraine and Wylan Van Eck are off to the big city in search of their respective boyfriends! I'm so freaking happy with how my costume turned out - I literally sewed everything myself except the stockings and the bow!

Will have some proper photos done later, but for now Chevy is discovering the delights of rail travel compared to horse and carriage...

the thing about the cinema references the cinema at soho farmhouse (soho house is an membership thing where there’s loads of events and locations exclusively for members and a lot of them are celebs, from people i know with memberships it’s great for networking) so she was also there with the merc team

..........they have their own cinema at the farm.

of course they do

#gothic #vampire #cosplay #marie #antoinette #rococco #versailles by #night the idea for the cosplay was born of a twisted mind TL/DR for here. #noboundaries in #costume https://www.instagram.com/p/CdcG8kUuT4O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As we enter farther into late stage capitalism we bare witness to a phenomenon which is quite unlike the revolutionary fall of other economic systems of the past (like feudalism/monarchies in the french rev (as symbolism for the implementation of capitalism as the new global system)). Not completely unlike aristocrats who, historically, were openly and publicly drowning in luxury and lavish. For the uber-wealthy in the west, relatability seems to be key to their personas. They still sit in their metaphorical (or not) castle on the hill, yet they do so by appealing to the working class with pleas of ‘im just like u’ or ‘this pandemic has been hard for all of us’. Seemingly to gain solidarity or even sympathy from the working class. However, with class consciousness rising almost as much as grocery prices, i don’t believe more apology videos in sweatpants and messy buns will save the bourgeoisies’ heads in the next Terror. The more the people see cosplays of working at walmart, the less faint it seems the memory of the women marching on versailles becomes. ‘Let them eat cake’ comes in many forms people!!!

Tbh, I often cringe when watching live adaptations of SHONEN manga, where they try to recreate impossible things, and then the show looks ridiculous because it's just not believable. I'm not talking about dragons here, but it always feels like cheap cosplay. But live adaptations of SHOJO manga? Absolutely amazing. They feel real. These girls are treated like actual characters, instead of cosplayers that should look exactly like they do on paper.

I generally don't watch live action adaptations because like.... why would I, right?

I think the only live action adaptation I even have in my "to watch" list is the live actions version of "Erased" which is anyway based on a novel so you can't even really say it's an anime adaptation (although I am sure it will follow a lot of the anime's cues). But Erased as a crime mystery with some time travel thrown in. So of course being recreated in live actions isn't a giant jump.

I think also you're talking more about the sad state that shoujo has devolved into in modern time where it essentially means "high school love story". But I can't imagine a lot of classic shoujo working in live action. I cannot even FATHOM what Terra E would look like if they tried to do it with real people. Even Rose of Versailles which easily COULD work in live action only has one film which is generally considered to not be very good, and then is almost exclusively kept to Takarazuka Revue for its live action version. And I think it works because it's a stage play. But Terra E? yeah no way.

It's weird but it makes me think how Sentai shows don't really work in animation which is a weird thought. Because really, sentai shows SHOULD be great for animation and there HAVE been animated versions of sentai. But all that makes sentai what it is was born from the limitation of the live action medium. From the way the monsters look to how the fights play out. So trying to present it authentically in animation makes it look awkward and weird.

(although that being said I am super fucking excited for Monster No.8 but that's it's own thing)

That being said makes me realise I am actually wrong, I HAVE seen a live action adaptation of an anime and it's the sentai show of Sailor Moon. Which looks exactly like its $5 budget would make you think, but it's saved by fantastic writing and taking interesting and brand new steps with the source material. And again, because it's a sentai it somehow works by leaning into the aesthetics of other sentai shows, rather than trying to reflect the original manga or anime.

And also it's AGGRESSIVELY early 2000s which is really charming.

Anyway I'm rambling.

I'm genuinely trying to think of a single live action shounen show I have ever seen which I think actually work but I am drawing a blank.

I maaaaay be 5500 words deep into my Versailles S4 fanfic now... script formatted, with accompanying visuals and fancast new characters. In my heart, I'd want to write 10 'episodes', and I've got SO MANY ideas written down, but this one has taken me months already. Let's just see how I go hahahaha

[sir-klauz]

The original actor of the Chevalier in the series Versailles, one of my favourite non anime series has officially approved of my cosplay?! Holy f**********************

I feel incredibly accomplished as a cosplayer! This is really special to me. I’ll make a proper cosplay post of it on here, as it’s only on my Instagram. 😄
