Vanellope von Schweetz: The Glitch

Description

I LOVE this photo and I LOVE this cosplay and I LOVE Wreck-It Ralph. :heart: ... That pretty much sums it all up for me.

No, but seriously, since I saw the trailer for WIR, I fell in love with it. I just loved the concept, and knew it would be a good movie - and I was right! Since first seeing the film in November, I have seen it two more times, am the proud owner of the soundtrack, and, most recently, this cosplay! I don't think I've been this obsessed with a movie since I saw Lilo and Stitch when I was a kid, so that's really saying something. Plus the casting was a sufficient nostalgia hit for me since I grew up loving School of Rock, which Sarah Silverman was in, have spent most of my pre-teenhood, and all of my teen years watching 30 Rock, which features Jack McBrayer, and, of course, I spent quite a bit of time following Glee, and think Jane Lynch is awesome. Unfortunately, I can't say that I knew any of John C. Reily's work, but hey, I can now! I could seriously go on and on about this movie, but I think you the gist.

As for Vanellope, I have to rave a little here. When I saw her in the trailer, I immediately fell in love with her character design (namely the hair candy) and had a feeling I'd like her. And of course, I was right. She's basically the Wreck-It Ralph equivalent of Maya Fey, making her hands down my movie spirit animal; the things she says, that is totally the way I talk. I'm also a major Mario Kart (and pretty much racing games in general) fanatic, so if I was in a racing game where I wasn't allowed to race, I would go outlaw too. I also LOVED the concept of her being a glitch, that really grabbed my interest. Sarah Silverman did such an amazing job voicing her, and just everything about her character is so loveable. Another big thing was how I related to the bullying she suffered. Watching the movie for the first time, I was just sitting there thinking "oh my gosh, that's me. I was that kid." Kids gave me a hard time because I was different, and broke my stuff. They didn't push me into mud, but they definitely pushed my soul into deep, chocolatey mud of sadness. So needless to say, I related to Vanellope in many ways.

Super quick, here's a bit on the construction: the wig and extension I had before. All the hair candy I made by hand (there's actually more of it, but I didn't get around to putting all of it in XP). I'll be posting a hair candy tutorial soon already done! Link below. The tights and hoodie were bought for me by my Grandma (thank you so much)! :heart: The tights' stripes are made out of jersey fabric and stretchy knitted fabric; took me three tries to get them right, but I'm happy that I managed to make it work in the end! The boots I had before. The skirt was originally a peasant skirt, which I've had for years, but never wore, so cutting it up seemed like a no-brainer. Her hair Twizzler I originally tried making out of clay, but it kept breaking and wouldn't fit right, so my mom eventually convinced me to just scratch that idea and use fabric. I caved and went for it, and am super happy I did! It came out really well and is super light and easy to put into the wig. Plus the shininess definitely does it justice.

I also must mention that the Twizzler, as well as the details on the hoodie are made of probably the most appropriate fabric ever... Taffeta. :iconhurrplz:

So there's my rambling! Vanny will probably have her con debut at Sakura-Con 2013, since I've convinced most of the members of my cosplay group to form a WIR group with me, so I should have a Felix, Ralph and hopefully Taffyta and Candlehead... 'Cause ah wanna have mah haters! :'D
