Because it’s February and Valentine’s Day and stuff ^^ And we all know Princess Peach would love Valentine’s Day.
Many thanks to this wonderful person for adding the extra things to my picture. I came up with the words, but she was nice enough to do this for me :)
I assure you, how I choose to spend my free time has no adverse effects on my professional work as a detective.

CUTIE!
STORM! Mistress of the elements! At least my attempt with the wig I got last night so forgive my silly face ^^;;; I really hope I do her justice! Black headband will be upgraded to her actual head piece by the time the cosplay is done :)
Whoa man, got the fabric today. Gonna do it. Gonna cosplay Neo Queen Serenity. Based on this gorgeous art by asieybarbie. Should be done by Anime Detour!
I dunno why I’m feeling kind of intimidated and nervous about it. I’ve done three princesses at this point, lol, but I think it may be the 10 year old “MOON PRISM POWER” girl in me?
Not really a rant, more of an… observation?
A friend of mine is hoping to do a plus sized cosplay panel at Anime Detour this year and I’m happy to say that she has all sorts of panelists in mind, including a male voice too. I really do think in this plus sized cosplay supportive circle we should hear more from men. I’ve said before that there’s this assumption about men being, well… pricks towards women in the geek circle, or that the ones being bashed on are always women, but that’s not the case at all. Bullying doesn’t discriminate.
Now I’m not saying the ladies don’t need love and support, because they do, and yeah there are jack ass men (i.e.: the one who continued to comment on my article this week), but I feel like all it takes is one jerk of a guy to say something for people to assume that every single guy you come across is going to be like that. They’re going to assume that “anime/cartoon characters are supposed to be skinny and beautiful,” or whatever the quote is that that guy said on my article I don’t even remember anymore. They’ll assume that all a man cares about with cosplay is if he can fantasize about the girl and that’s it. There’s no way he likes the cosplay because he likes the detail and construction and he likes the character, nope, he just wants to think about that girl in his bed. All because of that one random guy who makes a dumb ass comment.
And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but I’m guilty of this assumption, too! The first time I wore Tiana the first person who gave me a compliment was a guy and I thought, “… o.k. what parallel universe is this I’m not Catwoman I’m a Disney princess…” but honestly, I actually do have a lot of male fans! And I am deeply sorry, gentlemen, for the assumptions I made in the beginning. I’ve gotten much better about it, though :)
But I think we also assume that men don’t have issues with their body. We assume that a man can just walk around, being as plus sized as he wants, and he gets no crap for it. But that’s not true at all. There are men who are just as uncertain about this as we are, who won’t cosplay even if they want to, or they assume that they need to cosplay “the fat guy” because that’s their body type. There are men who get intimidated when they see that hard bodied shirtless Goku cosplayer and think, “Well nevermind I shouldn’t do it at all.” They see some guy pull off the skintight Venom cosplay and shake their heads because they don’t look like that, so they shouldn’t even attempt it.
So all and all, I hope this panel comes to life for Anime Detour, and I think hearing a variety of voices would be great :) If it does become a thing I’ll post about it ^^
Might have just come across the cutest motherfucker of all time. This is Gabriel “Ariel” Rivera and I just came across his deviantART and his costumes are really really pretty and he’s kind of a prettier princess than I’ll ever be and I think he’s my new role model.
I GOT FEATURED ON SOMEONE’S BLOG GAIZ!!!!! OH MY GOD >___<
Love everything about these.
Got test pictures back from the Flame Princess dress I was commissioned to make for Kelsey Styles. OMG she looks super super cute in it! I love how it turned out and that wig is giving me some serious wig envy. She styled it herself!
I can’t wait to see what the whole costume looks like with the body paint and other jewel!
Required shameless self promotion: I take costume commissions and I love making fancy dresses. If you have any questions, just message me!
Reblogging because my wonderful wifey takes costume commissions :) She’s responsible for my dresses and dresses like this one :) We’ll have more pictures later when Kelsey takes pictures with the full body paint!
Reblogging because the Flame Princess has a cosplay page :) Go and follow her! And don’t forget, we do take commissions, my wifey made the dress!
