My BFF Sarah<\/a> & I have talked about doing this cosplay for ages, & I’m SO FREAKIN’ HAPPY we finally did it at Costume College 2014!!! This is perhaps the most fun I’ve ever had in costume. She was Patsy, I was Eddie. We stumbled around, pretending to be drunk, acting bitchy (shush, we were <\/em>acting!), with snarky British accents, unlit cigs hanging from our lips, making weird snide comments about everything & everyone. The people who got the joke loved it, & the people who didn’t probably thought we were insane, which made it even more funny.<\/p>\n

I had watched a bunch of AbFab episodes in preparation & realized that Eddie’s humor is very physical. She’s all loose & floppy, to contrast with Patsy’s rigid, sneering stance. Eddie swings quickly between whining about herself & cajoling other people, with a dash of wanna-be hippie BS. We both stayed in character, plus our friend Karen played Bubble brilliantly, perfectly loopy. It made for a trifecta of performance art.<\/p>\n

And then we did the busted, end-of-the-party scene in the hotel bathtub. SO MUCH FUN. <\/p>\n

Oh, about the costume — it really is <\/strong>Lacroix, sweetie darling! I got a hideously garish, vintage Christian Lacroix T-shirt & skirt off eBay. The skirt was too tight so I added a black wool placket in the back. Appropriate that both were pretty tight, since Eddie is always complaining that she’s too fat (like me :-). The jacket was vintage ’80s from eBay with giant shoulder pads.<\/p>\n

I added a blinged-up peace symbol necklace since she’s both New Agey & down with the hip-hop kids, plus some faux Chanel gold earrings. The brown curly wig was yet another eBay purchase, made more Eddie style with a headband. She wears very simple makeup in most series of the show, & I finished the look with tights & red boots for a suitably annoying pop of color. We bought a pack of fags on the drive down to CoCo & drank the champagne the night before, so I filled the bottle with water & swigged from it when wearing the costume. Check out my “Absolutely Fabulous” cosplay Pinterest board<\/a> for my inspiration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
