The costume got started over a year ago, when I was thrifting with my Gramma and found the magical bobble necklace/bracelet thingy I'm wearing on my wrist in the pictures below. At first I was going to make a full-blown costume to go with it, but I had trouble finding a fabric for her tunic that would drape the way I wanted it to/couldn't afford that many silver ear cuffs (eight!)/didn't want to shave my head and paint it blue, as actress Virginia Hey did for three years until she had to quit the show because all the makeup was making her kidneys bleed. So I settled on a stealth cosplay, and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Someday I'd love to make one for each of Moya's crew, including Moya herself--that'd be a fun challenge to take on. (Can you tell I'm a fan of this show?)
The inspiration:
The pieces:
-Pale blue long-sleeved shirt, from the thrift store
-Boyfriend jeans from my closet
-Grey textured sweater, also from my closet
-Light grey pashmina from the thrift store
-Black ankle boots from Winners (nowhere near as cool as Blue's space boots, but they'll do)
-Blue bobble necklace/bracelet thing
-Silver tone leaf ring from my jewelry box (because she's a plant! Get it?)
-Silver tone ear cuff from Icing (I love ear cuffs, so it makes me happy to be able to use one in a cosplay)
-Essie "lilacism" nail polish
-Eye makeup in white and purple
Assembly time: several months, in fits and starts...
Many thanks to my friend Christina for taking pictures and for letting me mooch her nail polish.
