We did it, nerds! Somehow we pulled off three NC Cosplay feats this year! As per usual we initially planned on at least two of them even before last year’s con had ended….and then we thought what the hey! Why not throw in a third one, right? Lofty goals, nerds…
NC Cosplay
Disney Villains
This was our first group cosplay: Disney Villains, rockabilly style! We didn’t get many (try two!) photos of this cosplay because we were exhausted and suddenly needed to change out of cosplay to get into the overnight line for the Live Action Panel (for more on this, listen to the latest Nerds R Us).
Jen: In hindsight, we probably should have just cosplayed this one right from the morning. But at least we got to wear it for a whole 30 minutes – if that.
Rach: I really loved our villainess cosplay, probably my favourite out of the three. It might be because of the rockabilly curl that Jams created for me. That curl was everything.
Rockabilly Disney Princesses
We kept the Rockabilly Disney vibe going, this time as the Princesses! Our friends Michelle and Laura joined in as well!

We have to say, these were probably the most comfortable cosplays we’ve ever adorned!
Jen: I would totally love to do this cosplay again if we ever get the chance to. We lasted all day in that and was comfy to boot!
Rach: Nothing will prepare you for when a child points to you, smiles, and asks for a photo. It’s magical. I really felt like a princess.
Marvel
Unfortunately our fearless Captain Awkward America had to fly back before she could join us for this cosplay. Still, great fun was had in our Marvel cosplay!
Jen: Gotta admit, it was fun to cosplay something other than our usual Disney Princess regalia. And to our surprise, Squirrel Girl was a huge hit!
Rach: Going through the Netflix experience as the ladies of Marvel was super fun. I felt so invincible as Ms. Marvel.
- Jen as Storm
- Jams as Squirrel Girl
- Rach as Ms Marvel
NC Extras
Aside from our cosplay and convention shenanigans we did get to have a little down time. Once we wrapped up at the D23 Expo, we spent a day in the land where dreams come true: Disneyland!
- First thing in the morning we tried out Guardians of the Galaxy!
- We. Ate. Groot. (he tastes better throughout the day rather than fresh in my opinion)
- We posed with Daisy
- We got our hands on DOLE WHIP
- We met Moana!
- Mickey!
- Of course Goofy!
- Pluto, what a good boy!
- No one poses like Gaston (with a photo bomb by Corgi!)
- One last time at A Bug’s Life before they close it
Off-Site SDCC Fun
- We saw a live taping of Conan O’Brien with the cast of GoT!
- JJ-9 met BB-8!
- Hey look, it’s Daredevil! The Netflix experience was fun!
- Heading to the Upside Down…
- #JusticeForBarb
- We’re gonna find Will!
- Stranger Things was my favorite part of the Netflix Experience!
We hope you enjoyed joining us on our adventures! What will happen the next time the NC gang reunites? Stay tuned, nerds!
Stay Nerdy!
