Happy 5th anniversary to Animal Crossing New Horizons! As you can guess, Pekoe is my favorite villager, who's yours? Also fun fact, this cosplay is completely made of fabrics from my stash. Eco-friendly cosplay is the way to go!

I'm at AMKE 2025! I'm helping out at table. I will also be running around attending some panels and shopping. I decided to take it easy since I don't have a hotel and will be there all day long. What are you looking forward to at AMKE?

Happy Pokemon Day! This is by far my favorite franchise. It is the series I've cosplayed from the most and I don't plan on stopping any time soon! So tell me, who's your favorite character and pokemon?

Better late than never? I went to ColossalCon North and Twin Cities Con back in November and had a blast! CCN was mostly a working con for me. Friday I doned my 2nd hand Rosalina from Mario Tennis and did a photoshoot. Friday it turns out I forgot my wig for my Waluigi to sell at the Otaku Craft Fair. Which luckily my natural hair totally works fine. Sunday, was Beta Luz in which I use the same wig as a Waluigi so it was a no wig cosplay as well lol.

Twin Cities Con was my vacation Con earlier in the month. I didn't do any photoshoots so I cosplayed just for fun! I went to see all of the Hellaluvaboss and Hazbin Hotel panels and ate my nerd heart out.

As you may have noticed my motivation for posting is very little these days lol. I have a bunch of amazing shoots to share but just haven't gotten around to it. I've been concentrating super hard on my art business () as well as my wig and prop commissions (price increase coming soon!!!). My goal for my cosplay this year is to post once a month, complete and compete in one cosplay for myself, style at least 6 wig commissions, and 3 prop commissions.

Last but not least, I want to thank everyone who has stuck with me on my cosplah journey! Especially when content is sparse at best. I still want to thank everyone for the 1000 follows on Instagram and Facebook! So let me know what are good prize giveaways these days? Please be realistic, I am a small business trying to save money lol. So please answer my poll or let me know in the comments.

Going to 100% just for fun. No artist alley table, no hosting panels, no scheduled photoshoots, no cosplay contest, no complicated cosplay. It's been forever since I did this and also years since I've been to a Minnesota con! Excited to take a break. Catch me at a lot of voice actor panels (Hello Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss!!!) and trying to not go overboard with buying stuff in the vendor hall and artist alley! But if you want to do a impromptu photoshoot hit me up!

Expectations vs. Reality. Been a bit since I made a post but back in September I won my first (and hopefully not last) Best In Show at the cosplay contest with my Meiling cosplay from Cardcaptor Sakura!!! I have some mixed feelings about the win which is why it took me so long to post about it. Would anyone be interested in my elaboration? As per usual I have been busy with the business side of things so cosplay for myself is pretty sparse these days. I will be attending a con soon 100% just for fun soon! That and the 1000 likes/follows giveaway posts will be on the way!!! Thanks for keeping with me on this journey

See you at ChizuCon ✌️

Great cosplay contests have great MC to announce the wonderful contestants. With that in mind, we're excited to welcome back Sakura Sunset as our MC this year!

With a variety of skills including wig styling, sewing, prop making, EVA foam and thermplastic arm making, mold making and resin casting, and some special FX makeup, her goal with every cosplay is to learn something new. Make sure to check out the wig and prop commissions she offers in the artist alley!

Light Fantastic took place on Washington Island in 2023 and gotta say it's one of my favorite locations to shoot at now. It's got multiple different types of nature backgrounds and it's small enough that it allows for multiple different locations for a single shoot. We however did have to walk up A LOT of stairs to find this pretty little patch of grass 🙃

I made this cosplay as zero waste as I think I possibly could. One of the few things I bought new for this cosplay was the fan. It looks so amazing with this cosplay I just couldn't say no!
