My 2013 cosplay year with the added bonus of the fried chicken incident that led to the article I wrote :)  It’s been a crazy year, but 2014 will probably be crazier with new cosplays and all ^^

Seriously, thank you so much for all of the support with my cosplay and everything else I do.  I never expected all of this.  I never expected to have followers who wanted to meet me, or who decided to cosplay because of me, and just… it’s been kind of surreal, and I still don’t quite know how to react except to just keep smiling  :)

So here’s to more plus sized cosplay, more black girl geekery, more of me and my wifey going to cons and advertising our art and our book, and just… here’s to all of that.

Cheers to 2014!

So asieybarbie did some fantastic Princess Peach fanart, so I did my hair and took some pictures in my Peach dress  <3  If you haven’t see her art yet, go and check it out, it’s really, really amazing  :)

Have some Holiday Princess Tiana cosplay  <3  Will most likely take better pictures later once we have snow and stuff, or a tree or something.  I didn’t wear it for very long because the con hotel was pretty warm, but we did at least get this picture  :)

This is exactly why I shouldn’t wander around at cons I should just stay behind the table otherwise I take too many silly pictures  ^^;;;

People can be real assholes to plus size and/or diverse cosplayers.

My cosplay article has been posted <3  

Here it is, everyone!  My cosplay article for xojane  :)  Great timing, I think, considering the whole cosplay bashing stuff that happened to me last week.  

Hi everyone!  Trying something new.  I decided to embrace my natural hair for some pictures.  I’ve been slowly trying to build my confidence about my natural hair and wearing it the way it is.  It’s really, really hard not to work on auto pilot and slick it back into a pony tail, or wear a hat, or straighten it.  So I thought I’d wear my Belle dress and take pictures.  I felt the whole Belle/Beauty thing would be fitting.  That, and I’ve been wanting to get good pictures in this dress.

The dress is, of course, made by my wifey (as always).  She also took the pictures, right in our backyard  :)  I thought that since Peach went over so well (which was my actual hair and not a wig, which is what I was going to do) I would try this  :)  I was a little nervous, but I think the pictures turned out really good  ^^

Went to Ren Fest this last weekend and it was “the Day of Wrong,” which is where you wear something that doesn’t fit in at all.  So I decided to do a Ren Fest version of my Progressive Insurance Flo cosplay  ^^ 

Don’t forget to check out my cosplay page here:  Brichibi Cosplays

This is one of the simplest costumes I’ve done, lol!  Normally it’s all Tiana and Peach and Belle and big dresses and such  :)

Outside of Peach’s castle, she finds a new friend  :)  (omg I just realized this is the first time I’ve had one of my cosplay pictures edited, lol)

Took some new pictures of my Super Smash Brothers BRAWL Peach cosplay  :)  I’m hoping she has an even snazzier dress in the new Smash Brothers.  She’s really fun to cosplay, especially with the frying pan  ^^;;;

As always, you can follow my cosplay adventures either on my tumblr or my Facebook page.  Peachy  ^^

My Sunday cosplay, which my wifey has been calling a version of the Mad Hatter.
