I actually decided on cosplaying Bob Ross while I was out looking for a mask for a different cosplay and my mom pointed out how this one afro wig just screamed Bob Ross. That was pretty much all it took for me to change plans and buy the wig instead, the rest came together pretty…

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…

At a young age I found the original Ghost In The Shell movie, and it helped cultivate my love of anime alongside Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho. She was this amazingly powerful character who was trying to find her purpose, and herself, and at a time in my life where I didn’t know if who…

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…

I am a self taught seamstress, and aside from one class about how to thread my machine back when I was 13 everything else has been a mix of trial and error as well as help from YouTube and fellow cosplayers! My first costume was a crazy mix of spandex and cotton with princess seams…

I chose to make a Vault Suit because Fallout is one of my favorite games. I’ve made other outfits from the series in the past, but held off from making a vault suit because I couldn’t decide which vault number I wanted to put on the back. I started thinking it would be interesting to…

Well I don’t believe I really became a geek until my first time at Senshi Con back in 2012-2013. I didn’t know about the cosplay world until I went there. After that I started becoming a real fan of it and wanted to try making a cosplay. But because of how the geek society judges…

I chose Sombra for both her design and her attitude. She simply oozes confidence, and her concept is colorful and charismatic in a way I found challenging and incredibly appealing. I wanted to stretch my creativity as a crafter, so I chose her to be my first costume made from scratch. In retrospect, this was…

Remembering my childhood, I believe My Neighbor Totoro was my first anime feature film, didn’t mind the dubbed version until discovering subbed versions of animes in my high school years. My first con was Senshi Con 2007, and it was not only the biggest stress relief I needed but also opened my imagination of…

I’m a 34 year old chef from Anchorage, Alaska with a giant penchant for anime and videogames. I grew up mostly playing videogames during the majority of my free time and got into anime in the early 2000’s. My collecting spree really began back in 2012 when I started going to conventions again after a…
