reminder as joann begins to do their going out of business sales, aim for 60% off or more. this 20% ain’t cuttin it.

Live Now! ✨🙂‍↔️✨ #CalicoTheGame #HelloKittyIslandAdventure

Joann’s closing post their monopoly destroying a lot of small fabric businesses across the country is gonna impact cosplayers, and sewing/crafting hobby-ists of all kinds. But hopefully it will give a chance for new small local fabric shops to pop up as well as those shops struggling to survive…

(sigh)

very serendipitous that during this time of reflection on my cosplay beginnings and that first award, the offspring in his cosplay beginnings gets his first award. (we worked together to make his Static Shock cosplay.)

I'm out of neon green paint so this is a little off, but the phone always picks up weird hues anyways. anyhow here's She Hulk.

thank you, old man, for who you were. I hope that my weeb ass still makes you proud. 🥹

Dad's been gone for almost 4 years now, but every con season it's heartwarming to look back at my very humble beginnings, and how intrinsic his support was. as a matter of fact, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have "The Great" as my moniker.

7 years ago this month I entered my very first cosplay competition. I received a Judges Choice award. my grumpy ass dad, who through much of my life was known to be very stoic and never really expressed emotions, would tell any and everyone about how his daughter was Wonder Woman.

it's great to learn, cause Knowledge Is Power! oh how ten year old Diana is living for this sticker design.

DID ANYONE ASK THE AXOLOTL IF HE'LL BE BACK TOMORROW

there's so many notifications the app isn't even bothering to send them anymore cause of all the rapid likes and reposts. I promise I am just a weeb here for shits and giggles I did not expect our MC of RIP to make rounds like this. y'all really are awesome 🥹

🥹 thanks for all the love for Ryme y'all. part 3-- photo credit: Micah Thompson. in depth videos are on YT but here's the reels wig: www.instagram.com/share/reel/B... shoes: www.instagram.com/share/reel/_... jacket: www.instagram.com/share/reel/B... accessories: www.instagram.com/share/reel/B...

Ryme, pt 2-- the shoe covers are foam, I'm wearing slides beneath them necklace is also foam, earrings are worbla/resin mic is a real mic base I gutted and molded a cover for w/foam & foam clay, then painted. I also filmed everything too if you ever want walkthroughs.

Ryme, from Pokemon Scarlet & Violet! since a few of you liked it, here's a couple fun facts about this cosplay-- sewn/made entirely by me (6 wks) the bones of the wig are actually pool noodles wrapped in quilt batting/braiding hair and crochet'd to a base only cosplay I painted my nails for lol

Day 5 of #28DaysOfBlackCosplay I LOVE DOING SFX and face paint! I love testing my skills and trying new things! It would be a dream to be sponsored or work with Mehron or Graftobian one day! I even got the chance to work with B4B during one Halloween! #sfxmakeup #facepaint

I think I'll start commissions up again soon. Short and sweet, 3-5 slots. Hopefully the algorithm is kind about it

Here is another picture of my cat, Weasel, to help your timeline be not all doomscrolling horrors

Crazy busy day today - so I’m reviving this old bingo card to see how quick it fills up. Have fun! 🤣 #28daysofblackcosplay

Dear Canadian and Mexican friends. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽 Do what you have to do. We’re on your side. And sorry...😞

not gonna lie, this January feels worse than January 2020 did.
