Personal Thoughts:

The Little Mermaid is my all-time favorite Disney movie. After many years wanting to fit this into my cosplay schedule, I finally made it happen. A cute but simple costume, I am incredibly pleased with myself and am so glad to say that I've cosplayed as Ariel and done it well.

More rewarding, however, was having little girls coming up to me at the convention to take their picture with me. It made me so happy. I really did feel like a Disney Princess.

Most recently, Jenni made Vanessa to go with my Ariel and we got photos out on Coney Island. I'm so happy with the results, and it was so fun shooting with Jenni again!

Styling Notes

I relaxed the curls slightly with a hair straightener, pulled half the hair up into the ponytail. Then I parted and styled the bangs. I didn't get as much of a large bang as I wanted to. Needs to be tamed a bit more.

Wig Review

Luthiens are my new favorite wigs for cosplay.
