Disgust

Dressing as Disgust from Inside Out marked the first time Irvin cosplayed a character without first consuming the source material... suffice to say, excitement levels for the movie were quite high. Irvin and his friends attended a preview screening, and attempted to cosplay a full set of emotions based purely on promotional material. In the end, they had three of the five: this Disgust was joined by Joy and Sadness. All were agreed that the emotions fit the cosplayers exceedingly well.

Because this event came up during an extremely cosplay-heavy time, there was some scrambling done to complete it in time. A wig was quickly procured, as was copious amounts of green makeup. Irvin was already familiar with green makeup after his work on Elphaba, but Elphaba's arms are covered, so this required much more makeup than usual. And while Irvin's green tights and skirt sufficed for the costume, there was no appropriate top, so Irvin hastily tie-dyed a wifebeater.

At the movie event, there were marketing researchers who worked for Disney. They got a picture of Irvin and his fellow emotions to send to the people at the studio. The makeup proved more resilient than expected, and stood up to copious amounts of tears without budging. It may have been too resilient, even, as no amount of scrubbing made it go away completely in the following week.
