Photo: @Zarf_ I’ve only been doing cosplay for about 2 years. But in that short time, it’s become a major part of my life. My first con was MAGFest – which I will be attending again this coming January. I will be attending Katsucon again in February. When I first decided to go, I knew I…

[Face Off has] been an absolute and incredible ride. Over the arc of the past year, things have been really moving in leaps and bounds, for me. It’s been like a rocket-rollercoaster ride, straight to the top. Depending on how you perceive the show, straight off the tracks and all that kind of stuff. I…

Well, I stumbled across the alternate universe timeline and that’s when I first saw Lady Deadpool, who’s just as awesome and badass! This…

Rachel (New Orleans, LA)
When I first started cosplaying was a silly thing and only thought you could dress up on Halloween. After a few years of myself cosplaying, I told my mom that she should try it out with me for Halloween at least. We made her an Ursula cosplay from Disney’s The Little Mermaid and she suggested…

@CosplayRepairMedic (Pittsburgh, PA)
How did I become a cosplay medic? I find we get this question a lot and it surprises people how far back this goes for me. When I was in high school I was a techie and stagehand, and after a particularly rough startup to my freshman year musical, I decided to put together a…
