It begins.

So this is my Contessa cosplay so far.  I use the term 'cosplay' loosely at this point.  It is missing the most vital bits of the dress and gloves.  I also need some red eyeshadow (why is it so hard to find?!  Also why is make up so expensive?!) 

But I have sufficiently tarty shoes that I will probably trip in after taking about 4 steps and I already had the white wig (actually I have two white wigs.  Somewhere in my brain back when I bought them 7-10 years ago, I must have known I would be making a white-haired lady cosplay)

I've been looking around online and I can't really find anything that properly matches Contessa's dress and gloves, so I may have to make those myself...

This Contessa, if you don't know her:



Will scrap later.
