Coco's Cosplay for N7Day 2016

In case you didn't knew, I'm a fan of Bioware and their games. Today is about Bioware's Mass Effect... I love the game! I was a little uncomfortable with the key controls when I started the first game, but the story and Shepard's charisma (the playable character) got me in.

On Last year xmas, my awesome hubby managed to get me the hoodie that Shepard  wears on the third game, and I made it one of my 2016 goals to make a doll cosplay and take a photo of Coco with me and our N7 hoodies.

For those not on the Mass Effect fandom, on the story N7 is a training program, but it has also become the Mass Effect day: each November 7th! So this post comes one day early, but oh well... I didn't want to break my posting schedule xD

Here are more photos of Coco on her cosplay! I even had the red wig to match female Shepard's default hair :D

It was actually a huge issue to be able to make the hoodie. First, I didn't have any small cord to put on the hoodie, so I was bitching about my lack of it via whatsapp with my mom... then she suddendly knocks on my house's door, comes in with "okay let's teach you" attitude, does some weird things with a thread, and produces a cord of the correct size and length I needed, and then leaves. She is amazing xD

Then, another thing happened. I was a little scared about sewing the zipper as I never used one before... when I realized that the tiny zipper I had so much trouble to find, was useless. It was a closed bottom zipper and I needed an open-ended one. It was nearly impossible to find that size on regular zippers, so an open-ended was directly impossible. I was really sad, because I'm tired of things being so hard to get on this country =S Nevertheless, my hubby attempted to "refactor" my zipper. We finally managed to do it sewing and burning part of the zipper's tooth. It is not the most stable thing, but oh well. At least I did the hoodie.

And here we are together, although you can barely see me... that was the idea, though xD, I hate taking photos of myself.

But this one has a story. I didn't got the remote controller I wanted for the camera, so at the beginning I was struggling with the reversible screen of the camera, and shooting at myself with one hand, while holding Coco on the other. Then I requested help from the hubby... the first attempts were... lacking, to say so. He did not told me to move Coco so she was looking stiff and lost on a distant point, then he shot off the background, then my neck was looking so weird... and the amount of blurred photos (despise using a tripod) was incredible. But we managed!!! :D

Anyways, this was all for today! I won't annoy you with more doll cosplay photos xD But I can't wait to have more info about the upcoming Mass Effect game, named Andromeda! Also, I may have purchase more shoes for Coco, so now I have 4 packages stuck a customs! So lame T_T Hope you are having a great time!
