Cosplay Cards: You're A Good Man Charlie Brown 2007

This one wasn't for a convention but for the play You're A Good Man Charlie Brown we did back in the Fall of 2007. It was so fun to do. My mom directed as we realized we had the entire cast of characters with our group...with the addition of one of Tucker's friends for Schroeder.

This was my dream role! I had wanted to play Lucy since my mom and dad were involved in the same play when I was a kid. I always looked up to Lucy as my kid role model. Hehe explains why I was such a pest of a big sis back then!



Tobi had a crush on Linus back when my parents were involved as the show as a kid. So of course she wanted to play one of the first characters she had a crush on!





Chase was perfect for Sally since she was the young kid in the cast of high school and college age cast! She did so wonderfully with her song and monologue and had the cute natural blonde hair for the part!




Of course Hannah was Charlie Brown...no surprise. When the reviewer came she told my mother during intermission that the program was wrong. Hannah was a girl name. Of course my mother informed her that it was right Charlie Brown was played by a girl and so was Linus. The reviewer didn't believe her til my mom told her Tobi was her daughter.

Of course Snoopy had to be done by my brother Tucker who was amazing in the role! All the energy he puts into Suppertime! My dad did the role when we were kids but personally I like how Tucker did Snoopy more! I realize I should have made Woodstock cards for Tucker and I since we both shared the role in Snoopy back when we were kids...well and Chase and Tobi were mini Woodstocks in the show too.

And of course as a final bonus for this post here is a picture of the cast! And yes there is no Schroeder card since I only made cards for those I gifted the cards to.


Check back tomorrow for the last cosplay card!

Cosplay Cards: Sakura Con 2008: Tucker

This is the cosplay I am the most proud of! My brother wanted to cosplay when he went to Sakura Con with us and a few other of his friends but he demands being 100% accurate. Soo I decided this was the perfect cosplay.
He didn't know the series I simply told him if girls ask for a hug say, "No! Stay away from me!" You don't have to be nice to girls at all and you'll act completely in character!
Of course at some point a girl asked him all fangirl eager, "Kyo!!! Can I hug yooou?!!" And he responded correctly to which the girl let out an ear piercing squeal of delight for him being so in character. Hehe....

I think my brother has the best costume stories. This one won me a radio contest yeears back for telling. I think I won a cd that I didn't care for or something lame like that.
Anyways, my family use to go to the Rootin Tootin Roundup which was our church's Halloween alternative harvest party. It was the same western theme every year. As kids we got sick of dressing in the same thing.
My cousin ended up handing down a skeleton costume to my brother so he wanted to wear that. My mom told Tucker, "No you are not wearing that go back and change."
He comes down a few minutes later, still wearing the skeleton costume but this time had a cowboy hat and boots on.
Mom looks at him saying, "Tucker what did I tell you?!"
He looks at her with that mischievous but shy grin of his saying, "But mom I died with my boots on."
After that explanation mom decided Tucker won and got to wear that to which my mother told everyone what he told her saying he came up with it himself! I always loved that story and had to make a card dedicated to ingenuity of children everywhere.
