Ronald & Phyllis (Chicago)
Mario & Peach
Ronald :
Phyllis and I got started because of our daughter Amanda. She started cosplay and we were helping her with her costumes, it seemed such fun so we started too. First me and my son John as Mario and Luigi then we talked Phyllis into making her own costume as she was already making costumes.
We chose ACen because it is close to our home and it is on the weekend of our wedding anniversary. We celebrate both.
Mario and Luigi were easy for us guys, coveralls red and green shirts work shoes. I made the hats from old baseball caps and material. My rotating tail was hand made using an electric motor from a science supply store.
Phyllis's dress was made from a pattern she altered from scratch. Amanda got to help mom this time,it was great fun for whole family with mom cosplaying with us.
The main reaction we get is"Look, Mario and Peach! Cute ! I wish my mom and dad would cosplay too ! "
