aaaaahhhh!!! fat person here i love that you can cosplay a person like natasha so well!!! i hope this doesn’t come off as patronizing at all i just struggle with finding self confidence to do any sort of cosplay myself and natasha seems like a character you could catch a lot of flack from dudebros for not being a size 0 to cosplay ;v;

Not at all 🙂 Thank you! In fact, I did have some anxiety about walking around in a spandex suit in a very public place. This is the first time I’ve cosplayed anything that revealing of my body shape (at the biggest con I’ve ever been to!). The attention I got was very positive, however! No one was disrespectful (at least, if they were, I didn’t know about it) and I had a great time! I was nervous until I got in costume and started walking around, and then I was Natasha and I wasn’t nervous anymore.

My Black Widow cosplay

Hot hot tater tot! Rockin’ that Widow greatness, sugar! Also, love the lip color you chose.

😀 Thank you so much! I’m so glad I went for it! Your suggestion of lip stain was awesome, by the way, thank you! So much less hassle! I think that will be my con go-to whenever possible now.

Lip stain is similar to lipstick only it actually stains your lips! It can stay all day and last through meals and shit with minimal touch-ups. I adore lip stain.

Okay that sounds amazing. I don’t usually wear lipstick because it’s like spreading gooey wax all over my lips and it just rubs off onto things. But for cosplay, I am generally in full theatrical makeup anyway so I make an exception.

After I spent 20 minutes staring at the endless rows of vaguely named tubes, and being rushed by my roommate who had her own shopping agenda…I ended up with this:

It’s brighter than I was envisioning but probably better than anything else I have.
