Sally Jupiter is at once an easy and difficult character to cosplay. Getting the look right only scratched the surface; I had to somehow portray her complicated relationship with Eddie Blake (the Comedian), her desire for fame, her struggle from a humble beginning as a burlesque dancer to her triumph as a "masked" hero. I spent quite a few hours watching and re-watching her scenes in the movie, reading the graphic novel, and reading interviews to help me prepare for the role. In the end, I must have been at least moderately successful; in one case, I had another con-goer at Florida Supercon 2013 corner me in the ladies' room and tell me that I was "beautiful" and "heartbreaking" at the same time.
