Cosplay Prep: Creating Props

No, I'm not Cosplaying Minions but I am definitely in full costume creation mode being I only have 1.5 weeks to go until Fan Expo and I'm SO not ready. This is the cry of all cosplayers. We hope to have things done a week or two (or a month or two lol) early but we seldom manage it.

Funko Friday

Okay I know I did Funko Friday last week but seriously there are too many announcements of cool stuff this week to pass up doing another one. Heck, who would pass up a chance to talk about Lola? Seriously this is a cool Funko! (image: Funko)

eBay: A Brief Guide for Cosplayers

The truth about cosplay is that eventually you are going to have to buy things for it. I know. The worst part of anything is having to hand over them hard-earned dollars. The good news: there are a lot of ways to make the spending hurt a little less. The place that I most often find myself coming back to is eBay. From experience, I know it can be intimidating at first, so here is a brief guide to help make that first step easier.

My 6 Month Check In!

No matter how often I write every now and then I hit a day where I'm just at a loss about what I want to write about. I want to write about EVERYTHING and because of that I feel like I can write about nothing. So this is my Check In.

Cosplay: Buy vs. Make

As I have grown over the past year, one thing I notice I get asked a lot is whether I make my own costumes or buy them. I will be completely honest, it depends on the costume. I see a lot of discussion about this in the cosplay world. Some people think you aren’t a “real” cosplayer if you don’t make your outfit, but that just isn’t practical or fair. Do I have mad respect for people who make 100% of their own outfits? Absolutely, but I don’t think that buying a costume makes you any less of a cosplayer.
