This was the inaugural year of Anime Ottawa! It was really well run for a first year con, but I also expected that for a convention being run by the same people that puts on Ottawa Comic Con in September. Having it on Easter weekend was an interesting choice but it definitely made it fun! Friday Dabi - My Hero Academia It was fun getting to wear Dabi again for the first time in a couple years. I quickly fluffed up his wig and made it messier than it was before. I didn't do a whole lot on Friday since it was a shorter day - the convention started at 1pm on this day. Every few minutes I was f ..read more

First convention of the year! Fairly laidback but also decently busy. I'm very happy with how the weekend turned out. Saturday Lucifer Morningstar v1.5 - Hazbin Hotel I wore my newly completed version of Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel, having finished it in time for the debut of the series on the 19th. The costume included pieces from the original make, as well as fixing up a few pieces and remaking others. More of that on his page here. I spent time with my friends Anniechie Designs and Maegwyn Cosplay at their booth, talking and catching up, all of us excited for the masquerade that day. I di ..read more

Yep, I got married on November 3rd to one of my long-time best friends and I even made my wedding dress, bracelet, veil, and my husband's coat! It was a lot to do but I got it done and I'm so excited about the photos I've already received, and will receive in the coming weeks! This blog covers a little about the day, but is mostly about the process of making my dress and everything else. First Kiss - Photo by Open Shutter Photography It was a magical day. But also stressful. Zandreth and I got to the venue around 10:30am to start setting up, which thankfully most of it wasn't too bad to do ..read more

I've been neglecting writing out my convention blogs this year, even though yes, I have only attended two more since GAnime back in January, but I thought I'd do a quick write up about CAPE and FanaticCon Brockville to give some extra insight about my days at those two events. CAPE 2022 Left to right: @musicmistresscosplay as Sailor Moon, myself as Sailor Mercury, @cosmic.cowgirl.cosplay as Sailor Venus, @reckless_ladycosplay as Sailor Mars, @soulette_cosplay as Sailor Jupiter, @maegwyncosplay as Sailor Saturn, @anniechiedesigns as Sailor Uranus, @bandit_spurs as Sailor Neptune, @symphonyands ..read more

G-Anime 2023 was last weekend and I'm happy with how it went! My first masquerade and convention of the year, first new costume of the year and I'm excited to get to planning the next ones as a result. Selfie from the Green Room Saturday: Charlie Morningstar I woke up a little later than planned for Saturday but it didn't take me too too long to get into Charlie, the main focus being the makeup to get that on. I let my fiance drive my van over to the convention while I bought the tickets online so we didn't have to worry about buying them at the door. Pre-reg went quick, ran into TammChii be ..read more

Normally I try to do this before the end of the year, but things got crazy busy in my personal life in the last couple of weeks so I didn't have much opportunity until now! This year was more relaxed in the costume area, and definitely busier when it came to conventions since I was able to go to them again! January Costume: Nougami Neuro v.2 - Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro I spent the month of January working on Neuro, a costume I'd wanted to remake for a few years. Originally in 2020 I wanted to try and fix up the original I made in 2010, but because of my inexperience when making the origi ..read more

Took a bit but finally sitting and doing my blog for CAPE! CAPE (full name Cornwall and Area Pop Event) is a con that I never got to go to pre-COVID as I was always in my mad dash to Anime North - back when I was trying to make and do too much in a short period of time. This year I finally got to go! It was well worth it to see some friends and experience a new con! Selfie from Sunday with MaeGwyn Cosplay (Zelda), Anniechie Designs (Ravio), Bandit Spurs (Hilda), and Symphony and Silk Cosplay (Korok) Saturday: It was a very early start with getting up at 6am to start putting liquid latex and ..read more

Anyone who has known my work pre-COVID knows that my usual for cosplay is to spend basically from October/November until August working on costumes almost continuously. Since COVID however that has drastically changed, to the point that I have done very little sewing and crafting since May 2020. Some of the reasoning was not having any conventions or events to go to over the course of the pandemic (until November 2021). Once I finished Lucifer's official costume however, I felt the return of my motivation bit by bit, so I tried to do little things to help push and improve it. There were other ..read more

This year was crazy in it's own way. It was busy in some ways, and slow in others. I experienced a lot of ups and downs, and I'm so excited to get into this year. As 2021 comes to a close it's time for my usual recap blog. I managed to get back to my favourite thing of actually sewing my cosplays instead of using things from my closet - which I still did a lot of. Most of what I did was also for TikTok, which became a great outsource for my built up energy. Yes, I'm still going pretty strong with TikTok and enjoying using the platform - though I'll not deny that there have been some frustrat ..read more

Lucifer Magne Cosplay | Photo taken by Pokame_for_pics (IG) After nearly 2 years, I finally went to a convention again. In a few ways it felt like the first time all over again, but so familiar. It was a truly marvelous feeling to be back amongst other people, wearing cosplay in public, and having social interactions that I so desperately missed. Being an ambivert, the last year was a rather sort of torture. While my introverted side loved the solitude, the part of me that's an extrovert was crying out to get out. But of course, my fear of the virus (because I and my parents are high risk), i ..read more
