First worn: FanimeCon 2000
My sister and I wanted to play up the fact we are twins, and we loved Pokemon, so we decided to cosplay Officer Jenny!Β It was also our first attempt at a simple Masquerade skit β we came on stage one at a time to trick the audience into thinking there was only one person, and then we both came out!Β It was fun, and we got a great reaction. π
Our mom made the costumes, and I styled the wigs and made the symbol for my hat.Β I don’t even remember which town I used.Β Now here is a good example of “making do with what we had” back in the day.Β Horrible shiny acetate satin?Β A wig that’s nowhere close to the right color?Β That’s all we could find back then.Β Thank goodness for the resources we have available today!
