Belle Chere Rogue Cosplay
AHAHAH! This pic is still around?! GUYS, this is me in my first costume, on my first day, of my first convention ever (DragonCon ‘06!).
BelleChere as Rogue
Check out this post, where she goes into her recipe for bleaching her hair as Rogue
I was going to make a post just like this, but I was beat to it! Thanks! Check the link above for my hair bleaching recipe.
The response to my post yesterday was a wee bit underwhelming, given the enthusiasm previously expressed by people. I understand - you need pics to grab your attention. Here they are!
So go check out my new website! Read it. Maybe buy something. I would hate to present a meager check to the fine people at Hero Initiative.
Also, this photo set came from an interview I did. Two for one! Bazinga!

Alright. I present the follow-up to this post. If you’ve been interested in prints of my photos, click on the photo above, and head to bellechere.net.
It’s a simple site. Very, very simple, but, hey, I’m a better seamstress than I am at web design and HTML. It’s young, has plenty of room to grow, and is simply covering the basics of ordering prints right now, but I hope to develop it into something more in the time to come.
For those of you who have been asking to donate rather than purchase a print, you’ll find that on there too.
Enjoy! Share! And go easy on me with the critiques, will ya?
161 Days Left Until Dragon*Con!!!
Today’s Featured Costumer is BELLECHERE!!!
Awww, thanks LJ! I always look forward to seeing you at DragonCon!
How do you get your bangs so white?
If you’ve ever seen me dressed as X-Men’s Rogue, and have seen me outside of costume, then you’ll notice that I use my real hair for the costume. I’ve had this hair coloration for seven years now and every time I consider changing it a stranger inevitably approaches me to say “You remind me of Rogue.” Remind people of one of my all time favorite characters? Don’t mind if I do!
Every year I recieve at least six requests from people wondering what I do and/or complaints that a salon refuses to do the process for them or have been disappointed by a salon’s results. Bleaching to this extent is a damaging process to the hair, and so salons will not want to be held accountable if they screw up the process and, therefore, your hair. So I’ve developed my own at home bleaching recipe. I purchase everything from Sally’s Beauty Supply, though even if you don’t have a Sally’s nearby the brands I use should be easily found in similar stores.
Here’s your shopping list:

It’s funny, this picture was such an after-thought. I just took off my Mystique wig (this pic is my real hair), was starting to remove the makeup, and was struck by the idea. That’s why the skull belt is missing - I was halfway out of getting out of costume!
I guess I’m a sucker for angst - I’ve always loved the relationship between Rogue and Mystique.
