First cosplay of the year for us  :)  

Princess Tiana is me.

Belle is my wifey, who made both gowns <3 <3 <3 

A collection of me, my cosplay, my make up, clothes, just snippets of 2014.

This year has been quite the adventure.  I traveled more than I ever have in my life.  I met so many amazing people.  I got my books and my crafts out there.  I spoke up more than I ever have before about a variety of topics.  It’s just been amazing.  

To be honest, I never, ever expected to have fans, or be asked to be a guest anywhere, or anything like that.  I never imagined having people who want to meet me, and who look up to me.  All of you are so incredible, and are so important to me.  Thank you all so much for supporting me and everything I do.  I love you all <3

And, as always, if you take any cosplay message from me, it’s this: to love your cosplay is to love yourself.  It’s so important to love yourself. There may be negative people out there, and what they say can, and does, hurt.  But don’t let them stop you.  Don’t let them keep you down. Don’t let them define who you are.  YOU define who you are.  You decide who you are.  You hold your life in your hands and you have the power to make the very best out of it. 

I believe in you :) Let’s have a great 2015!

Princess and the Frog was released back in 2009 today!  As soon as I saw the movie, I knew that I wanted to cosplay Tiana.  I love everything about her and she quickly became one of my favorite Disney princesses <3  I’ve had this cosplay since 2010, but I am still in love with it and bring it to cons any chance I get.  I have a feeling that it’ll be in my cosplay wardrobe for a long time  :)

Shout out to Nude Carbon Studios and Andrea Frederick Studios for the pictures in the top row.  And, as always, you can check out my cosplay page here.  

Take care, and keep working towards your dreams!

I was tagged by Jezzabellgem Cosplay, Props & Costuming to name 4 of my favorite cosplays that I’ve done. I’m actually going to do 6! Special thanks to my wonderful wifey SnowCosplays for making all of these cosplays for me 

1. Queen Minnie: This is the first ballgown cosplay I did. I really want to do it again some day. The wifey and I are kind of hoping that she gets a new outfit for Kingdom Hearts 3, otherwise, this dress is really adorable 

2. Princess Peach: This one has special meaning to me, because it was the first time (to my knowledge) that I was bashed in cosplay, and I responded in such a public way by writing that article and frying that chicken. It really started me on this “cosplay is for everyone” path 

3. Princess Tiana: I wanted to do her originally for completely biased “omg a black Disney princess” reasons, but after seeing the movie I really fell in love with her with her “work hard for your dreams” message. That and I always get such a great reaction to her, I really love seeing kids’ eyes light up when they see me.

4. Neo Queen Serenity: Sailor Moon is one of those series where my love gets renewed every time I see something from it. In this case, it was asieybarbie’s fanart. It was a really great moment putting this on, because Sailor Moon is one of her favorites, so seeing her face when she saw me in it was really great. 

5. Wonder Woman: Who doesn’t love Wonder Woman? She’s such a great symbol of strength and empowerment. I feel so strong when I wear this cosplay, and I swear when I do get bashed while I’m wearing it, my brain is like, “Whatever I look fabulous.” I usually feel like that regardless, but something about Wonder Woman just makes me feel confident, no matter what.

6. Freddy Fazbear: I love this cosplay because it’s fun being scary. It’s so different from what I usually do. Also special shout out to Brad Duct-Tape Hale for being an amazing Freddy.
