/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've belonged to a knock off princess company, and while parts of it kinda suck, mainly my boss being into it only for the money, and having to hide how excited I am to essentially cosplay for pay in front of the other "normie" princess performers, there's no denying that it's an awesome job if you love hanging out with kids. The pay is very good, but I've volunteered my time with kids before being hired so it wasn't the highest perk for me so much as spending time doing crafts and storytime with kids.

Highlights include:
A 5 year old making a craft card for me to hang on the "palace door", it's addressed "To Snow White, from Meadow" with hearts and stickers. Be still my heart from such cuteness.

Meeting such awesome kids who are convinced you are the real Anna, that you actually live in ________ land.

One party I did, the girls followed me everywhere and kept asking if they could sit on my lap during cake time, or sit next to me during storytime.

I had a 5 year old ask me if I was going to marry Kristoff, and I casually said "Oh, no I think I'm going to marry Hans, I've just met Kristoff!" (My Anna wig still has her mid movie streak in it). Cue 7 young girls grabbing my hands and telling me very seriously, no he's a bad guy! He tries to kill you later, and then Kristoff kisses you and you two should get married!

Overall, it's a lot of fun, and I would recommend setting up your own company rather than going with a pre existing one.
