See you at ColossalCon North so very soon! Friday I'll be running around as Punk Raven and going to the waterpark in my Swimsuit Umbreon. Saturday I'm debuting my Nami from Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life! Hoping to hit up the Pokemon Villa in my Ashely Ketchum. And Sunday I got together a femme Saja Boys group from Kpop Demon Hunters. Excited for one of my favorite cons of the year!!

Better late than never? A few weeks ago I was a cosplay performance judge at ! It was an amazing experience as my first time judging/guesting out of state and it has set the bar very high for other cons. I was so surprised to hear that it was only in its 2nd year. As someone who has been attending and staffing cons for 10+ years I would have easily guessed they were at min year 5 based on how well things were run. I felt so honored and privileged to share a seat on the judging panel with such talented and skilled cosplay crafters and performers! Highly recommend you water the seeds of this con so it can grow! I hope to be back in the future 😆.

Happy Earth Day! These three are my most sustainable/eco-friendly/zero-waste coplays! What's your favorite way to keep your cosplays from harming the planet?

Mulan - All this entire cosplay was made from my stash of materials! All the fabrics, the foam for the sword (not pictured), lining, thread, and interfacing were things I did not purchase new. Only new thing was the fan. Plus the shoes are form my normal wardrobe.

Pekoe - All the fabrics were things from my stash! Plus the elastic on the hairbuns was elastic I salvaged from my every day life. Reused the fan from my Mulan 😉

Buttercup - Green fabric was leftovers from my Gardevoir cosplay as I decided to buy my fabric before I made my mockup, lessened learned 😋. Shoes are from my normal wardrobe and I used the tights from my Gardevoir cosplay
