An Outfit With A Lot of Character
The thing with being a fan of anything is that I just want to express my fandom as much as possible – if not by cosplaying as a character, then maybe by buying toys, shirts, or other memorabilia. I guess that’s why they call it “geeking out”, right? This is also a huge problem if you have a collector’s mentality since pretty soon you start running out of room for all your stuff (but that’s another blog post for another day).…

Cosplay WIP – Prepping for Wondercon 2013
So… the big question is, who was able to get tickets for San Diego Comic Con this past Saturday?? Even though I actually already have my tickets, I was online helping a friend anyways and just like the other hundreds of thousands of people, I too was trying to connect to those awful servers.

Zombie Face!
This year for Halloween, I decided to be Finn by day (pics to come) and a scary zombie doll by night. I had never experimented with special effects makeup before so I was really excited to give it a try. The only things I used in this look were scar putty, face paint, and regular eye shadows. Using scar putty was definitely very cool although the brand I got was super duper sticky and not that easy to mold. And…

Halloween Town
“Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.” – Mean Girls You know how they say girls use Halloween as an excuse to dress like sluts? Well, I use Halloween as an excuse to dress extra weird. I mean, I guess I could say the same thing about cosplay, but Halloween is definitely a time where I can be super creepy looking as well. Today’s look is an outfit-costume hybrid…
