Cosplay: Dark Lady (2016)

And we're back into convention season! This upcoming weekend, I'll be cosplaying at Emerald City Comic Con, but in getting my thrifty cosplay together, I realized that there were some costumes I never posted about from the last round of cosplay events. So, let's play catch up!

Growing up as a child, I was a fan of Sailor Moon. Now, at that time, the only version I could easily find is the now-out-of-print DIC dub, and so I got to know the evil, magically-adult version of Rini as "Dark Lady." In the original Japanese, she was known as "Black Lady," but this was changed in the first kids' version of the show for American political-correctness. And even though I know it's not her actual name, I still think of the character as "Dark Lady," and I went into this cosplay with that in mind.
