Cosplay Clothes
Apologies for the lack of posts these past few weeks, but I’ve been so heads down on cosplay these days that I’ve barely had time to think about clothes! Luckily I picked up some fun pieces while in Paris the other month, which make for some easy outfits. Maybe it’s just me, but when I work on certain pieces of cosplay, some of my clothes actually start reminding me of what I’m making. Take for example this pleated skirt (from…

Mermaid Out of Water
I think at some point or another, all kids get obsessed with something – maybe dinosaurs, Hello Kitty, Legos, etc. My obsession was Mickey Mouse. Specifically, I had this one Mickey Mouse plush that I carried around everywhere – my “Linus blanket” if you will. It was dingy, missing a nose, and probably smelled of drool, but that plush was my constant companion for the beginning part of my childhood. I never thought my obsession over Mickey or even Disney…

Pixel Perfect
For anyone who grew up in the ’80s, there’s something completely irresistible about pixelated art. It’s fun, it’s nostalgic, and reminds me of simpler times on the Atari or for those who remember – the Intellivision, which is what I had growing up. One of my favorite super old school games was called Dracula – a classic pixelated game where you play Dracula and wander the streets in the middle of the night in search of food. Before you’re wondering…

Caught in a Web (of Cosplay)
Happy Friday! It’s been a long week and I’m so ready for some fun in the sun. Well, that is if I can drag myself away from cosplay making to get some sun! San Diego Comic Con is only 4 weeks away, which means crunch time for cosplay making. It’s definitely a challenge to stay motivated, not procrastinate, and not feel discouraged when you face difficulties. To anyone else out there working hard on their cosplays – best of luck…

Late in the Game
Summer is officially here and with the hot weather, E3 announcements, and cravings for ice tea all the time, I wanted to officially welcome summer with this outfit. I may have grown up gaming like the rest of the kids in the ’80s, played Mario until I got blisters, and run on that Power Pad like there was no tomorrow, but somehow I completely missed playing The Legend of Zelda. Fast forward to last year when I was feeling nostalgic…

Find Me in the Milky Way
Not to feed into the nerd/geek stereotype or anything, but I’ve always loved science and math – so much so that my second major was math. And one of my favorite shirts that I wore to death until it mysteriously disappeared in a college campus laundry machine was my star constellation shirt. And this wasn’t just any constellation shirt – it also glowed in the dark, which of course made it 10 times cooler. I was never really able to…
