Sesame Street Original Design
"Growing up I had watched PBS Kids and more importantly: Sesame Street. I could never really pick a favorite character from Sesame Street since all of theme were so unique and vastly different in their own ways which made me respect and love this show growing up. I had never really planned to cosplay from Sesame Street, however in July of 2024 I had visited my Family up in Oregon for Wasabicon. For JJ and my Birthday, Serena (adoptive momma) took us to go shopping for our birthdays. All I remember was looking at sunglasses when I heard 'RAE COME HERE I FOUND THE PERFECT THING!' from the other room. Serena had pulled out a comic book style Sesame Street skirt from a rack and handed it to me saying 'try it on!'"
"Once putting on the long skirt, I had immediately fallen in love with how chaotic and unique it was. Serena had gotten it for me and we continued to shop and enjoy our birthdays. A couple days later, I had gotten home to Arizona from Oregon and my first mission was to make this cosplay. I drew up some references I wanted to go off of. Some of the things I added to this drawing were not added to the final cosplay, but I think it is still unique enough and adds to every single character!"
"For this cosplay, I wanted nothing more to bring Sesame Street to life with one cosplay. I made clay items from each character to include the memories from the show. This includes: Rocko, Oscar's trash can lid, Cookie Monsters Cookie, Abby's lady bug and flower, Bert and Ernie's Rubberducky, Slimey (Oscar's Worm), Count Dracula's Bats, Grovers superhero shirt and Big Birds feathers. I wanted to add so much to this that kids would be able to recognize as much as they can and never get bored looking at it!"
"When I was up in Portland Oregon for Wasabicon PDX, I had the amazing opportunity to judge the kids cosplay contest. That weekend however I was planning on cosplaying two characters that tend to be mean or scary characters. I felt as if I needed a more kid friendly cosplay if I were to ever judge another kids contest. So a couple days later when Serena showed me the skirt, I had morphed it into a cosplay that is extremely kid friendly!"
