☆ KatsuCon 2012 ☆

After much anticipation (probably the longest-feeling two-and-a-half weeks of my life) KatsuCon has come and gone, and may I just say… wow. the experience is one I won’t soon forget, and to make sure of that, it’s time to jot down all the little details. This was my first year attending KatsuCon, and hopefully it will not be my last. This was also my first East-Coast...

Change of Plans - KatsuCon, Here I Come!

That’s right, after agonizing over it for quite some time, I decided at the last minute to drop the money on a plane ticket, and get my butt to KatsuCon in National Harbor, MD! Initially, I had decided not to attend, thinking that I would be moving, and have lots of moving costs. So far, that just hasn’t come together, so I figure it’s the Universe’s way fo telling me...

Buying wigs on eBay...

is a daunting, even downright FRIGHTENING task. On one hand, you can find some amazing deals. On the other hand, you can never be truly certain if the color you ordered, is going to look the same when it arrives. I have had some occasions where I purchased a Pale Pink wig, and it arrived dark, NEON pink. I have also purchased a dark grey wig, that arrived and was a gunmetal. On the other...

☆ Anime Los Angeles 2012 ☆

As one of my New Years Resolutions, I resolved to begin writing convention reports! I haven’t written one of these since KumoriCon some years back, and that one seems to have been lost to the wind somewhere. But, here we are, 2012, and it’s time to hit the ground running! This was my first time attending Anime Los Angeles, and I have to admit, I was excited and nervous. I...

World Cosplay dot Net | Sumikins →

If you’re in the cosplay community, you’ve probably heard about this new site! I love that it’s targeted at the International scale from the very beginning, and while It kinda stinks that it lacks a comment feature, I’m hoping it catches on and stays strong. Go make your own profile, and feel free to follow mine!

When your Cosplay Mess keeps you from being...

I have come to the realization that Friday Nights will never, ever be productive cosplay-time for me. Invariably, I come home from work on Friday nights, so tired, that I end up crashing either on my couch or bed around 5:30, sleeping until 9-ish, and then find it completley impossible to get my head in the game for anything creative. So, instead, I need to focus on simply cleaning my space, so...

✰ 2011 Year-in-Review + 2012 Plans ✰

Another year gone, and another entry spent looking back at the ups, downs, and general mayhem of cosplay antics from the last 12 months. I somehow managed to do a lot in 2011, and yet at the same time, not a lot at all. This is going to be rather long, and heavy on the videos and photos, so I’ll save your dashboards: The 2011 Convention Overview This year, I attended four...

CHRNO COSTUME FOR SALE

batcosplay: http://www.cosplay.com/marketplace/showproduct.php/product/57972/cat/500 Guys, I’ve held this costume in my hands, and even tried on the coat. It’s wonderfully made, and the stretch sateen makes for a great fit — and I can tell you, Kayla and I are NOT the same size (I am taller, and thicker around the ribcage and waist), so that says something about the...

I swear, this is the only time you’ll see me post anything that’s not cosplay-related. After a few months of looking at Tumblr, I’ve seen lots of things from my friends that really grab me, and I’d like to re-blog. But, I never do, because my tumblr is for cosplay. Well, for any of you looking for a peek in at the rest of what rolls around in my head, there’s...
