Please do not tell anyone not to cosplay something they love. Captain America and Peggy Carter hold a certain spot in my heart. Theres so many connections I have to these character because of my grandfather who was in fact a living embodiment of Steve Rogers. He was my hero, and many others regarded him the same way. In fact during his funeral our priest who knew him spoke about how he truly was the real captain america! I cosplay peggy (and wonder woman) because they are the women I aspire to be. I cosplay characters I have emotional connections to, or characters that I like and I know I do my very best to do them justice, and I am completely content with what I am doing. But it is no ones business to tell me which heroes I can be because I will do it anyway.
I guess I didnt get your memo anon…because Peggy turned out to be the character that i have made the most costumes for so far
You start running they’ll never let you stop. You stand up, push back. Can’t say no forever, right?
I guess I just never listened to you anon. I’ll keep updating as more of peggys closet comes into my possession. (I already have fabric for 3 more of her agent carter outfits and I want to do more from the movies. I even have a 1940s nightgown my grandmother passed down on me, so we will see if I ever do old lady makeup too!) But sorry anon, your insults don’t hold up when Hayley Atwell herself LOVED my portrayal of Peggy. It’s been a journey to get here, and be comfortable in my skin all the while wondering if I was doing peggy justice. I like to think that I am. And in the end, I am cosplaying for the love of this wonderful character and the lust for her beautiful costumes.
