Cosplay Burlesque

So, this whole week I've actually been having the desire to caption.  I was actually feeling quite motivated.  I had some lovely pictures that I really wanted to work with.  So I sat down and started.

It wasn't so much a writer's block, as it was a writer's great wall of china.  A writer's hoover dam.  I literally could not write.  I managed to get out exactly two words before being unable to continue.  I had nothing.

Today, I finally managed to get an idea going.  In the end, it actually started running so long that it would never fit into a single caption.  Rather than trying to cut it down, I decided to do the opposite.  I would expand it and turn it in to a story.  But, rather than make you all wait until the story is complete I thought I would do this.

Below is posted the text as I originally wrote it, formatted as to be a caption.  The image is included as well, though I did not add the text to the image itself, as is normal.  Instead, think of this as a sort of teaser, a preview if you will, of the story to come.  I intend to expand a bit on the back story of the characters at least a little, and certainly continue with what happens after the caption.  I'll also try to flesh out some of the parts within the caption a bit more, add more details where needed.  Since it won't be constrained by image size, I can be much more verbose.

In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy this quasi-caption.  Feedback is always appreciated, and I'd certainly welcome suggestions as well.  Got an idea for what you think might happen next?  Let me hear it.  I can't promise I'll use it, but who knows, maybe I will, or maybe it will inspire me in completely different ways.

So, this is another one of those that has been kicking around in my head for a while, but I could never quite get right.  Well, today I was inspired.  Actually, I was inspired by what will be Friday's weekly comic (you'll have to wait till then to see it!).  But, while inspired, I also hopped in the shower for a bit.  A good warm shower is where I do my best thinking (go ahead, picture it, you know you want to).  While there, I was able to put together most of what was missing from this caption.  I sat down, wrote out the rest and filled it in as I wrote.  And this is what I came up with.  Of course, now I'm going to be late for work, so I hope you all appreciate it.

Ok, so as some of you know, Otakon is coming up (this week in fact).  So I've been spending a lot of time gearing up for that.  I'm still settling in and unpacking at my new place.  Oh, and I work outdoors, so I was outside for about 8 hours a day all during the heatwave (105 degrees F, baby!).

But, fear not!  This is not another excuse post.  No, there are captions below!

Pirate Treasure?

A quickie cosplay cap.  Inspired by...well, I really have no idea where this one came from honestly.

I really love this model, she is one of the hottest Cammy White cosplayers out there.

At the con

Another one that I've been toying with for a long time.  Sometimes I just know there is a story there, but it takes me a while to find it.  I had much of the details of this one planned, but I finally made it coalesce.

And yes, I could have ended it on a clean note.  But where is the fun in that?
