Re: The Red Stapler effect...

[(Anonymous)]

I am still kicking myself about something I didn't buy. Recently, I was poking around a local thrift store when I came across a red leather jacket. It was really cute. It was also $60.00 and I wouldn't get paid for a week and a half. I could have bought it, but I'm not normally a red leather jacket sort of person. Here's the kicker. It was the same red leather jacket, by Club Monaco, that Emma Swan, Jennifer Morrison's character in Once Upon a Time, wears in most of her episodes. It retailed for probably $600.00+ and I haven't seen one for sale online anywhere. I have Cousin It style blonde hair and the same eye-color and face shape as the actress. It would have been the most effortless cosplay ever, and even if I'd decided not to do it myself, I could have sold it for $200.00 or so and made some cash while making an Emma fan's day. When I went back someone'd bought it. I can only hope it went to an insanely happy cosplayer who couldn't believe their luck.

I also just bought an Alexander McQueen skirt that Emilie de Ravin's character, Belle, wears in an episode of the show. I spent probably what I'd normally spend in a year on clothes on one skirt. I feel kind of dirty. Especially because the shirt that goes with the skirt is another hundred, the shoes four hundred, and the jacket two hundred. I figure I can probably print some silk and copy the shirt (the original is polyester and I'm a fiber snob, also it'd be cheaper, although button plackets=personal hell), and I may buy the jacket in another color and dye it, since I'm good with dye. I might end up biting the bullet and buying the shoes in a different color, since they'd be only $200.00. (I can't believe I'm actually giving a shit about designer anything help me.)

I have a little griffin candleholder that I picked up years ago for a dollar, that I only later realized has a twin on Dracula's dining table in the costumepalooza Bram Stoker's Dracula movie.

And if cosplay expenses in general count, and not just specific clothing, then hoo boy. My costume stuff is probably worth even more than all my books put together, and every wall of the biggest room in the house is bookshelves.
