WHY IS THIS TAKING ME SO LONG
WHY AM I FINDING SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO WORK ON...Because I am scared 😶😶, I have a tendency to avoid projects that I am unsure about.
Some cosplays like to work within their wheelhouse, and I am not saying that is bad. We are not talking about a sewist trying embroidery (but we did that too) because that is the same field of expertise, some fields are MASSIVE and each project throws new challenges at you even thought you have been doing it for years. I am talking about a foamsmith working with 3D prints kind of out of my wheelhouse, and that is fine. Cosplay should be fun, and I find fun in stressing myself out with new techniques.
You don't NEED to challenge yourself to be a good cosplayer, but I love learning 😅😅. Yhup scared of doing new things but am down to learn. What is something you would love to learn? Maybe I can help.

PLEASE SHARE
2 spots fell through, so I have 3 spots open for helmet bags. I make them custom, so as long as you have the measurements of your helmet, I can make a bag ( I just happen to only have Mando helmets). The larger bag can also fit a motorcycle helmet. They are also just cute large bags in case you want one and don't have a helmet.

New Batty scarfs are coming. This heat press is a game changer

You should be so proud of me... I remembered to take 3 photos at the most recent con (baby steps, people).
Gettysburg was so much fun and was so welcoming, I hadn't been to a con where I didn't really know anyone (I knew people in passing and from years ago but not recently) in a very long time so having people excited to see ME and not having them be friends that I saw 3 weeks ago was novel.

I try, a lot, to speak of cosplay as costuming because it is. I would argue that cosplay, LARPing, alternative fashions like Steampunk and Lo**ta , Renn. Fair folks, Drag, are all from the same family, not just close cousins but siblings. I try not to be us and them in my content, and some people find that odd but in the end we are all nerds that like to wear close that "society" would call "weird" but makes us feel more ourselves, makes us happier then the jeans and tee shirt we are a signed

The reason will come out soon, and I swear it is good (FINALLY)
but I need to raise some money, so I have decided to open up 5 HELMET BAG slots for custom-made and styled bags.
They can be requested to have a hard bottom or soft. They have tones of padding to keep your baby safe, and we can add pockest almost anywhere for almost anything, like extra batteries, keys, or small repair kit, etc. I can make them with two handles or over the shoulder. I have even made a few to match the decals on the bucket most recently of Ursa Ren and Sabine.

While I made them for Mando hemlet, they are not just for Star Wars stuff. The live action bag will fit a regular motorcycle helmet. I am also open to making different sizes or shapes for hemlets, BUT that will take a little more time because I will need to make a mock-up but I wanted to expand my selection.

I would appreciate it if you could share or tag someone who might need or just like/be interested in something like that. You know how hard it is to get the word out on Social.

I am so excited to return to my old stomping ground.
Back in the day before, we had 4 major social media platforms, when there was only really 1. I lived in the world of Steampunk. I would go to Steampunk convention, organize and participate in Steampunk fashion shows, do panles, and talk about the culture and aesthetic. It was so much fun seeing all the creativity of attendees. I still see it every now and then, but in my area, they kind of dried up due to justifiable drama (very dangerous behavior).
But for one weekend, I am diving back into that well, and I simply CAN NOT WAIT. Thank you so much to 🥹🥹🥹

Conneticon is my home con, I think most of my followers come from there. So it is only appropriate to share this now, PLEASE fell free to save.
We can get caught up in our back to life that we forget to take care of ourselves and surroundings after a con

CLEAN, we clean spaces after finishing a build, so think of it as after a build. Clean your brushes, clean your wig, and unpack your suitcase. Clean your cosplay, and make sure you have all the pieces to your cosplay and you know where they are. I have never had bed bugs, thankfully, but I know some people who have check for that.

REPAIR anything that has broken repair it ASAP. You have no idea how many times I have wanted to wear something, but then I realized I needed to fix it first

TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOURSELF, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Your body has been overwhelmed for DAYS. Driving around, walking for hours, eating weird things at weird times, and just being hyped up on adrenaline for DAYS. Feel your feelings. Drink a TON of water, more than you should, and try and eat better to nourish your brain and body

YOU are loved. You are still seen by those who love you.
If I missed anything, please feel free to add and save this post for later.

It has been a LLLOONNNNGGGG time coming, but the stars aligned, and after years of trying, I won Best Masters at my home con here in CT and just like Boston it was amazing to share this win with older friends and new friends.
It makes it even more important and special because Agatha was the first cosplay I competed at CT con with when I moved back from college. I definitely did not place. It was a pretty simple build, but the circle is real.

Sometimes, the environment can be a struggle, and while someone might seem to be productive on the surface, they might feel like they are spinning their wheels.
We talk a lot about machines breaking down. This process isn't going to work, so I need a new way of doing this.
BUT sometimes it is your reaction that affects your productivity.
It is summer, and I already get depressed in the summer. I know me and my body doesn't like the heat, and I don't sleep well when it is hot. Add to that live in America (if the Space Marine Ben Franklin didn't tip you off🤣) and the political state is HORRIBLE, and it feels like nothing good is happening anywhere.
This is going to affect what you want to do. Yes, cosplay is a form of escapism, but it can be hard when you are depressed and overwhelmed to look that far forward

Only 2 panles this year, but that gives me more time to meet people and talk shop 1 on 1

INS AND OUTS OF COSPLAY COMPETITION: I usually do this panle alone, but these years, I have 2 amazing panelists, and Reckr. It will be more of a discussion from both the competitor standpoint and the judges standpoint

Cosplay Commission
and Reckr will be with me talking about Commission, the does and don't what. Questions to ask as a commissionee and commissioner because those can be minefields

Saturday, I will also be competing in Craftsmanship, which is always fun in my home town, I can't wait to see everyone.

More Rosie content 🤣🤣.
Let's do a 😉. I will eventually post a reel of me walking around, but today, just a straight side by side because I know that some people don't know this character and I am really happy about the silhouette I achieved.

I know I am going to get questions, so let me start here
1) I made the patters
2) All my fabric is from
3) I dyed the feathers and lace
4) I may or may not make the parasol. I used to refurbish them, but also, do I want to carry I around on the con floor

Torn between the lighter little flowers or no little flowers. I am probably thinking too much about this, no one will probably see 🤷‍♀️

Without Black cosplayers, there is no cosplay community. COMMENT YOUR FAVORITE BLACK CREATORS cosplayers or not.

06/14/2024

This weekend is going to be so much fun. Today, I am heading to an interview this morning for Boston Fan Expo (I am more for color, not actually getting interviewed), then back to set up the table. I will be there all day and the table is the best place to find me.
SATURDAY is going to be more tricky because of judging, but I will pop in between judging and the actual Masquerade.
SUNDAY I have 2 panles

1) COSPLAY SHOULD BE FUN
is about mental health and burnout in the cosplay world

2) CRAFTSMANSHIP FEEDBACK
if you were complete and what feedback to update or want to know the ins and out of completing.

But finding me at my table is probably the best.

This WEEKEND. I can't wait. Today, I am going to an interview for the

Ok, the lineup has changed, but I think this is the last time since the con is Friday. WHO WILL I SEE AT 😘 make sure to stop by the table

Off to BKCC... not in this, dressing casual today
But today is my birthday, and this is what a 37 year old cosplayer looks like 😉

05/30/2024

I have been getting stuff ready for the cons in June (BKCC 8,9 Boston fan Expo 14-16 Cosplay America 21-23) but I want to take a moment to CONGRATULATE for her show at in Spain.
If you don't know her or what she is doing for the community, what have you been doing? She has been going around to conventions all of the United States and taking amazing portraits of fabulous cosplays in a project called . I was honored to take part at ConnetiCon, and she was actually one of the first people (the first professional) to take pictures of BEN 2.0. It was an honor, and I hope this drums up enough interest to bring this project to the state.
Go check out her Insta. She has been giving tours and talking about some of the pieces on display. It would be amazing to see something like this at or

All finished for Fan Expo Boston, they are $250 each

THEY ARE BACK. Which is your favorite?
I know a ton of people were asking about more horn sets. I had a problem sourcing the headband at a price that was reasonable for this project, but I finally did, and just in time for . These will all be available for purchase at my booth in the cosplay section.

🚨🚨WHO WILL I SEE AT BKCC? 🚨🚨
So many guest announcements all at once 🤣 and this one is in a new area for me. I have a great time with at their events in NYC. Let's branch out.
I had heard so many awesome things about this event, and I am super excited to finally go. If you are going, please use my PROMO CODE: redfield at check out that would help a ton.

Me: ohhhh, I like this image. It is so artsy and creepy the mirror *shutter* that is my worst nightmare. People are going to love this
The Hazbin Fan Base: SHOW ME THE COAT ✊️✊️✊️
ha ha ha

Yhea, I am known for the coat 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ what can I say, so for your entertainment, I give you Snatched Alastor 😘

05/08/2024

I want to just hoard these because I love them so much. When I first shot Alastor with .vision, there was no show, there was no pilot. We had about 5 mins of clips, and I am not going to lie, we only did a mini shoot because I just wasn't sure how to pose.
We saw the series, and while I was excited, standing looking dapped was the main stay of the poses I saw, then I saw THIS...
Thank you so much, too ... for this inspiration. I can't even tell you how happy I am

Yesterday, I shared my that wasn't done. Today, we have my most recent Star Wars cosplay that is done. It was also my first cosplay that I submitted to a costume group . Because it isn't a particular time period, I am afraid I can't double join with the mercs but I am not super into rebuilding it. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe I can double join with Satine, who knows.

05/01/2024

Happy 501st day... Am I a part? No, but you all know I love my "villains" 😘

04/30/2024

Meta has decided to show the number of comments, likes, AND shares of a post, not just to the posted but to everyone.... I turned off the likes years ago, but thanks for the ego hit. Now, everyone can see how awful my content performs.

04/29/2024

I am hoping for some really big announcement soon, one I have control over, one I do not, so you might not hear from me much this week until the end, but I can't wait to share it with you.

I've been working on a special cosplay update, which should happen next weekend, but for the time being.
