Myself closet cosplaying Jessica Nigri cosplaying Red Riding Hood ( from Grimm Fairy Tales Zenoscope Comics, not just a generic Little Red)
Well, it is Mid-December so I suppose it is high time I post this joke Halloween Closet Cosplay thing.
I saw the bottom photo of JNig online and cackled since I had the exact same waist cincher belt thing (Rue 21, several years ago) and bra (Victoria Secret, also several years ago), in addition to a random little red hooded caplet and a couple red pleated skirts. The wig is, oddly enough, an old Punky wig that I tried to smoosh down.
This was done solely with items I already owned, straight from my closet (and/or floor since my room is a nightmare of a mess!).
I didn't actually wear this out anywhere nor do I plan to, this was just a silly halloween joke costume experiment for tumblr so I hope you are amused by my closet cosplay-abilities too lol.
The makeup actually too a really long time because I am not used to applying this much, to both my eyes and face. Still, it was a good use to my rarely employed make-up kit!
I'm not 100% sure if you're trying to patronize Jessica Nigri or not but, both cosplayers in the picture are lovely , and different , making comparisons would be silly XD
this costume rocks for obvious reasons but also because it shows what you can do with stuff you had in a wardrobe somewhere, improvisation at it's finest
