I went to a pretty big local convention last weekend. Lots of people cosplaying and I wish I could have been a part of it but damn it's a lot of work and I didn't have the time to put together an outfit. Either way it was a lot of fun, I feel really lucky to pass but sometimes I wish I weren't so tall.
That sounds fun, I've wanted to go to one for so long but never made it. Cosplay can be cheaper. I've dressed up as Dr. Krieger from Archer a few times because I feel like we look so similar. I had most of the stuff so all I really needed was the lab coat. (side note, the "costume" la coats were just as expensive or more and incredibly shitty quality, so I just got a real one.
I'm kind of hoping now one day I can try cosplaying as Cheryl instead ๐คฃ but not sure I'd ever be able to pull it off.
I feel you on the height thing, though I will say, I was out shopping yesterday and passed several women taller than me, it caught me off guard, and then really surprised me to see they weren't wearing heels! I'm 5'11(~180cm) for reference.
Oh oh oh was it a video games / tabletop games / nerdy things convention? I wonder if we saw each other! I saw several tall women. All of whom looked stunning to me. The convention I went to had a queer cosplay runway, which was amazing.
I was only there on Sunday but I took it as an opportunity to come out to one of my best friends, and I tried presenting as vaguely feminine except for my hair being a disaster. It was such a particularly healing environment for me. Figuring out how the bits of my brain that often go into panic mode just quiet down when I'm more comfortable about how I see myself. Despite everything. (I hadn't done this with somebody I know before, so that was huge). So many accepting people. And I was conveniently colour matched with a giant pikachu :)
