Hipster Belle Cosplay from Beauty and the Beast

Here's a throwback to San Diego Comic-Con, where I played a singing hipster Belle from Beauty and the Beast. My friend Ben Paddon played Beast and, like any modern woman, I read from an e-reader* instead of a tree-killing book of course!

Happy #WorldBookDay! Here’s my #BeautyAndTheBeast Comic-Con #cosplay. I’d like to think today Belle would use an e-reader to save paper/trees. Hehe. Beast here is @benpaddon so go to his profile and say RAWWWWWR. What is your favorite book? Let me know in the comments. Mine are The Snow Queen sci-fi trilogy by Joan Vinge and the Sword of Truth series. ?

To recreate this look, you can buy a simple Belle costume off Amazon* (this is the one I used). I added a blue bow* to my ponytail for authenticity.

I don’t always dress up as #Belle from #BeautyAndTheBeast, but when I do, yes. I sing randomly on the street with my #cosplay friends. ??? Would you sing in public like this? Do you already? ?

I definitely want to do more Disney cosplay, just as an excuse to sing on my livestreams and even in front of strangers at a convention. I don't care! YOLO, as the kids say? Do they say that anymore?
