One of the many things that makes cosplay so awesome is that absolutely anyone can do it. The Department of Awesome Parenting salutes the Cosplay Parents, a mother and father duo who, inspired by their cosplaying daughter, are taking advantage of their retirement to cosplay their hearts out.
They like to cosplay complementary, age-appropriate characters such as Carl and Ellie from Pixar’s movie Up (as though Ellie survived to go adventuring with Carl) or Captain America and Peggy Carter as though they were able to grow old together. Awww!
I feel like the first photos didn’t really capture the full costume since they were so dark, so I threw on Queen Amidala again today to get some better quality photos! It’s a super fun costume to wear (apart from being afraid my neighbors will see when I’m taking photos outside 😆) I can’t wait to wear it at Mega!
UPDATE: SPACE MOM WANNABE MEETS REAL SPACE MOM!!! She was so great and loved my look + chair! And had great insight into having an illness when I asked “I’d rather have my own definition of my condition than anyone else’s”
