Description

This was my cosplay for DragonCon this year - my take on the Yondu-Mary Poppins mashup. 

For those of you who remember that scene in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, this costume will make sense.

For those of you who don't : youtu.be/MXPsCd1woYQ?t=36s

This costume was a learning experience in EL products -which I learned how to use over the few months between the movie and the convention.  Even then, I didn't get the hat fin to light up correctly without help the day before I wore this thing thanks to my best friend.  Despite that, I am most proud of the hat, which started life as a regular old wide brimmed summer straw hat before I cut it down, spraypainted it a ton, hotglued flowers and berries to it, and added the fin.  It's not quite evident in the photo is that the fin on the hat lights up, as do some of the ribs in the umbrella as well as the handle which pulsed. 

The facepaint is several layers thick and actually managed to survive the Atlanta heat & humidity thanks to a little product by Urban Decay called "All Nighter" which I will sing the praises of forever.  Taking it off later, the bathroom looked like I had butchered a smurf before I cleaned that up as well.  This is why I brought my own towel because I don't think the hotel would appreciate blue all over their nice white towels.

There were at least five other Yondu Poppins there, and each one took a different take on the character.  It was great.
