The kid just told me he wants his third birthday party to have a Buffy theme, so I guess I’ve achieved all my parenting goals?

A conversation with @marijel_melo confirmed a suspicion I had that to a non-cosplayer, saying you were a “closet cosplayer” sounded like you were saying you were a cosplayer on the DL, “in the closet” about your cosplaying, as it were.

Closet cosplay is, rather, a term of art referring to “using what you have from your closet, with maybe a couple cheap store-bought items put together” according to Asta Young in this PopSugar piece. I use it to mean that I’m wearing things that weren’t built explicitly for cosplay, like the Coldwater Creek dress I used for River tam, the thrifted top I used to be Mrs. Lovett, the Old Navy dress I used to be the Fruity Oaty Bar Octopus Lady, the LL Bean pajamas I used to be Jess Day, or the Victorian Gothic getup from Retroscope Fashions (RIP but still on Etsy I guess?) that, yes, I just had hanging in my closet, and also used to be Shojo Loki.

I’m still working out what cosplay-related content will go here at kimberlyhirsh.com vs what belongs to Luna Wednesday, obviously.

 

A chronic illness comedy! Where do I send my spec script? ❤️️ @emilyvgordon & @Sarah_Hyland

On digital hiatus through August 26th. See y’all later!

Is metascholarship a thing? Like, a field of study? Sometimes (often) I find myself more interested in research design and writing processes than in, y’know, research itself.

I can cook all manner of foods, fashion clothing from yarn or fabric and thread, build furniture, and make props, but I can’t for the life of me make anything recognizable using a 3Doodler.
