Series: Parks and Recreation
Variant: Pawnee Goddesses
Date: 2016
Made For: DragonCon 2016
Status: Active
Also Worn: DragonCon 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022… Ok I just bring it every year now.
About the Costume: So it’s a purple vest I found on Amazon, and for Leslie I was able to find the screen accurate USA patch, and a really close rainbow patch. The Pawnee Goddesses patch I got on Etsy, which is hard to find in the correct colors now. The t-shirt is just a lavender Hanes women’s shirt (now it’s a lavender Amazon Basics shirt), and the bandana is a white one that I dyed to be the right color. I used to wear a wig with it, but now, since I wear a generic vest, I just wear it. Usually Thursday night at DragonCon, because it’s comfy af, especially to drink in.
Updates: For 2012, I made a vest with an assload more patches and personalized to me. I even used some of my old Girl Scout patches! Every year I add badges that I “earn” at con, too. I can’t wait to wear it again and meet up with the rest of the amazing ladies in Troop 42.
I’ve taught them too well. I’ve created a mob of little Leslie Knope monsters. I’m so proud. And a little annoyed. But mostly proud…70-30.
