Sure, well the reason I picked the Doctor was pretty much when I was in college a friend of mine introduced me to the TV show Doctor Who. I watched all the new series as well as parts of the new series. When they introduced Peter Capaldi as the new doctor, I saw an amazing…

So last year when I was with my family over Christmas break, I binge watched Young Justice on Netflix. When YJ first came out I was still super busy with school and never got around to watching it, but after I finally binge watched it I was blown away by how deep the story and…

I have only kind of dabbled in cosplay. I don’t go to a ton of cons because of money, but I love AX so I try to go every year, primarily for the cosplay. I got started with Assassin’s Creed cause it just looked really cool. The following year I did a Ganondorf cosplay and…

After binge watching Dragon ball super, I was excited to see a new females character introduced in the series, Vados. She was shrewd, humorously sarcastic, and possibly stronger than Goku (well at least at the time.) I knew early on that creating Vados would be challenging, because there weren’t any commercial sewing patterns available that…

Today, though, there was someone interesting peering over Smith’s shoulder: the Monopoly Man (also known as Mr. Monopoly or Rich Uncle Pennybags). As the hearing went on, Pennybags, complete with mustache and top hat, held up…

My favorite experience while cosplaying Cheryl from Archer would have to be at KrakenCon last November when there was a booth with a flying simulator that people could test out. The booth was blasting Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins and I let loose. Danger Zone is basically the unsung theme song of Archer and I…

Chunky Cosplay (Anchorage, AK)
So, at first Maybel Pines started off as just a simple costume just to provide some more content on mymusical.ly account. I came in to the Gravity Falls fandom right as the series was ending, but I loved how bubbly and cheerful Maybel was during the show. Also this was a stretch for me as…

media @making.with.megan The Classic Batman TV series, to my memory was my first real exposure to superhero media- my parents were both the right age to watch the show growing up, and around the time I was 4 or 5 I remember knowing when Batman would air on TV land in the evenings. Even as…

Photo: DTJAAAAM DW has become so integrated into my experience as a cosplayer because she reminds me to never forget to have fun. I always describe myself as a simple meme and being DW helps me avoid contributing towards the toxic side of the cosplay community that cares about numbers, racial exclusion based on “accuracy”,…

Highway Just Cos (North Carolina)
Photo : Jessi Jetsom. To me, it started out as a ‘just because’ project since Silverhawks didn’t seem to be as popular as other fandoms, especially among 80’s cartoons. One of my friends had previously discussed the idea of being one of the Silverhawks, so my casual project motivated her to start building Steelheart, and…
